Inspiration



This is something EVERYONE needs to watch. It is amazing and I am so moved by this old man and all the opportunities technology offers. He will live as a happy man for the rest of his life with music by his side.

Singapore


Oh Singapore. This is the country which 'internationalized' me. It's where I learned to speak English and it's the place which has pushed me out of my comfort zone many, many times. I remember when my dad told me that we were going to move, and how upset I was because I didn't want to leave Finland, I didn't want to leave my friends and most of all I had no idea how to speak English. But now I couldn't be more grateful for the fact that I spent around 6 years of my life in the most amazing city ever. After living in Singapore, there is no way I could move back to Finland. And that is exactly what happened, after a year long stay at Kirkkonummi, my family and I got out as fast as we could. Who knows maybe its the inner traveler in me which just doesn't want to stay in one place for long. I've even been nicknamed the 'Globetrotter' by one of my instructors, but that is just how the cookie crumbles, and I'm forever grateful for all the opportunities I've had. 



I left my heart in Singapore, and for many years I visited as often as I could. I believe '09 I was there twice. And, those vacations were the best, full of fun times and such. But the last time I was there, things didn't go as planned and I left in a funk, fell out with my bestfriend, huge fights and arguments. And for what? The immaturity took 'control' of all of us, and resulted in fall outs. I won't deny it, that trip left a dent in my memory of the place and I haven't been back since. However, no matter what, Singapore will always have a special place in my heart and it will forever remain one of the most amazing, spectacular places on earth. Just wish things would have gone down a different road.





Assuming that I was trying to color out a ridiculous pout/fishlips of some sort. NYE '09
 So that's that. Just taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane, and hoping that I'll return to this amazing country some day in the future. Who knows where I'll be 5 years down the line, but I for sure as hell can guarantee you it won't be in Holland. haha.
Have a great Thursday my lovelies.

Whats in the baggage?


So I thought I'd do a quick 'Whats in my bag' post. The weather has been acting up again aka. its a load of poopoo, and I've just been feeling a tad ill. Post-exam syndrome part II? Could be. 
Mentally and physically exhausted, so all I've been doing is sitting at home eating junk and watching tv, lots and lots of tv! The best way to go. You can expect a tv show centered post sometime in the future, because I'm obsessed. But back to the point, here's the contents of my enormous, giant, elephant sized bag. Everything I take to uni with me, could also just do some weight lifting with it because it must weigh at least 5 kg. hehe.





1. Bag - Aldo 2. Wallet, headphones, Marimekko 'pencil case' 3.Make-up bag & brush 4. Keys, highlighters, lighters, Mac Lipglass, sunnies, umbrella. 5. Notebook, Victoria's Secret Pink body mist, Blackberry.

I've come to the realization that there is too much pink in these pictures and also that I really need to empty out the make-up bag. It looks like its 9 months pregnant and ready to give birth. So that will be left for another time, I may do a separate post on the make-up bebes that bag is filled with. Last but not least, something very exciting is happening at the end of this month, so keep tuned for that. Tons of pictures coming up. 


Goodbye for now chipmunks!

Details


 Here comes a semi apartment post. Including some of the things I use to 'spice' up this pretty boring student apartment I call my home. Being a student and having that student budget thing going on, the last thing I've got on my mind is furnishing this little pad, but some things have just accumulated around the house and make some cute details overall. What I've also noticed is that it's all red. Heh. But I believe it works, since my walls have been painted a dark grey.




My Cappucino tower, which I barely use. Whoops


Ikea little blanket things, cheap and extremely useful! 



 Goes to show that you don't need to spend hundreds of euros to have cute things around. However, this fireplace/painting of a fireplace was already here when I moved in. It used to sting my eyes every time I looked at it because it's just so ugly and funny at the same time, but it's slowly starting to grow on me. Still pretty hilarious though. I've usually got either cinnamon or vanilla inscents burning around for some nice homey smells. 
So yes there you go, my collection of many red things around the house, including my bright red laptop and giant red sofa. hehee.

Game of Thrones


I have FINALLY finished my exams, only two more essays to go and I'm done for the next week. I've literally been sitting at home buried in bed or wandering around for no absolute reason. Its the post-exams syndrome, I swear that's a real psychological condition. But while I've been sitting around, I discovered this amazing show. Game of Thrones. Not too far into it yet, but so far so good and totally hooked. Have to go buy the books at some point and read them too because this is just something I needed in my life.






The story takes place in a medieval dystopian world, and the story line is structured around a murder. I would highly recommend  this show for any fantasy,history geeks like me.
 Enjoy this attractive face. Very nice quality I must add... Goodnight, and a lovely weekend to you all (:

Winter Break Shopping - Part 2 (Finland)

So, a few months ago I took a short trip back to Finland to visit the grandparents. First time there in YEARS, but surprisingly didn't buy too much 'crap'. None of the countries I've been to in the past 5 years have stores like Gina Tricot, and therefore, most of my money was spent there. Hrmh.
Navy Blue Cardigan - Cubus



Tee's - GT


Striped sheer shirt- GT

Tiger Print Jumper - GT
Cross Necklace - Glitter

That is all. Not too much, but somehow managed to torture my wallet anyhow. hihi.
