Well, what can I say? 

A thousand words? 

Just one photo?

This photo was taken on our prom night in '95. I'm wearing a gown that my host grandma had sewn a couple of centuries ago. She used to work as a costumier at the Universal Studios... 

I still remember us hunting for that perfect dress in Los Angeles, California. We went in to like a thousand stores and boutiques and came back Canoga Park empty-handed. We just could not find anything that would fit me, or something that I liked. And then we had a look at grandma's closet and I found t h e dress.

Yeah, I do know that my dress stands out in the crowd. But all the other girls got their dresses at the stores that I didn't... I still have that gown in my closet at my parents'. And it fits me, and (don't tell anyone) I try it on every once in a while just to make me feel pretty.

Say "hi" to Yanina, Saori, Narisa, Akiko and all the others!

That's me on the right - hello there!

The best part starts at 1:28.

My NYE 2014, uudenvuoden kujeet

I had so much fun last night. I truly did!

I went to see my goddaughter, who is five years old, and her family. At their place we made marshmallows - have you ever eaten fresh, still a bit warm marshmallows? They taste goooood! Then we had some fireworks, champagne and maybe few beers (us, adults). We were up quite late, finished our night with a movie called Kon Tiki - absolutely worth watching. The kids went to sleep earlier so I had quite an interesting wakeup (eh): the kids came in and started jumping on my bed screaming "WAKE UP, WAKE UP". Eventually I did.

Tämä uusivuosi poikkesi hieman aikaisemmista. Olin yökyläilemässä kummityttöni luona. Ohjelmaamme kuului vaahtokarkkien tekemistä (nam!), sädetikkuja, raketteja, shampanjaa ja riehakasta yhdessäoloa. Illan päätteeksi, lasten mentyä nukkumaan, katsoimme Kon Tiki -nimisen elokuvan, joka osoittautuikin varsin onnistuneeksi pläjjäykseksi. Aamuherätyskin poikkesi hieman aikaisemmista: puoli yhdeksältä riiviöt tulivat hyppimään sängylle huutaen samalla "HERÄTYS".

Marshmallows on the making.
Vaahtikset valmistumassa, nam!

Marshmallows on the making.
Eka vaahtispötkö, namnam!

My NYE 2014 gear.
Vuoden 2014 väri on pinkki.

Snow sleigh shovels, one for boys, one for girls.
Lumikolat kuivalla maalla.

Me.
Mää.

Fireworks.
Raketit.

Marshmallows in a jar.
Vaahtikset odottamassa pääsyä parempiin suihin.

That's me.
Mää.

...erm...

For the Year of 2014

My Christmas in Chronological Order - joulu järjestykseen

This is where it all began: sleep. Don't mind the Apple.
Voiko joulun odottamisen paremmin aloittaa: simmut kiinni ja huovan lämpöön. Läppäri kuvausrekvisiittaa (, kun sattui sängyllä lojumaan).

Our Christmas tree, only lights and ornaments by my mom.
Meirän joulukuusta koristi tänä vuonna ainoastaan jouluvalot ja äidin kutomat villaiset joulupallot.

Me trying on my dad's Alpine hat (bored).
Joulupukkia odotellessa kävi aikakin pitkäksi. Päätin sovitella isän tirolilaista hattua (itseäni hauskuuttaakseni).

mr. Ukko, the boxer, making faces. Don't mind my messy room, pliiz.
hra Ukko vääntelee naamaansa (lue: haluaa kaverin leikkeihinsä).

This is how it looked like December 26, 2013.
Jos ei jouluna ole lunta...

Local waterfalls (it has been raining a lot - pure water).
Jyllinkosken putouksia ihastellessaan uhosi lanko laskevansa näitä putouksia kumiveneellä. Sitä odotellessa, Opa!

It feels like a Monday.

We've been partying, again.
If you recognize yourself in this pic, give yourself a tender pat on your shoulder.
It was one time that our paths crossed.
Thank you for that!
Thank you for being in my life!

Cheez - that's me on the right. In Dmitri's arms.

Merry Christmas

I didn't come up with anything else than two pics of my precious Christmas tree - lights off, lights on.
My Christmas tree has got some horse figures hanging, and Christmas lights made of plastic horses!
I'll be heading to my parents' place this afternoon. I just can't wait to eat all the Christmas food, do you?

Merry Christmas to you all!
