I think I look dapper in this photo.
I'm wearing a suit and a hat and a bowtie. And I have a cut in my finger.
It was in the elementary school. One day we were asked to dress up like back in the days.
I might have been one of the very few who wore anything special for the day. I can still remember the feeling that I had... a little proud for having the guts to do something different.
I got my Master's degree in 2008. My former colleagues gave me this, and it's basically saying in Finnish that "since your head is not protected by a soft afro get a bike helmet with this gift card". I bought bike lights.
As you can see in the pic I'm still able to pull some sort of a smiley on my face. It's day five doing absolutely nothing but seeing friends, going to the gym, and having long walks with the extended family.
ps do not tell my mom that I post a photo of me wearing b o t h my onesie and t h a t hair piece. My mom didn't let me come out of the car while going for the groceries. I was just wearing my onesie. Doesn't she love me? #don'tsayyourloveiskillingme
Yritin ottaa meistä Rupsukan kanssa kaverikuvan. #wefie
Siitä ei tullut y h t ä ä n mitään. Rupsukka halusi töniä ja pökkiä turvallaan. Hän halusi myös maistaa ratsastuskypäräni laella sojottavaa nappia. Hän halusi hiplata tukkaani ja helliä turvallaan poskiani.
Aikani ähkittyäni pyysin Leenaa avukseni. En tiedä, oliko sekään niin hyvä idea. (Ja näiden kuvien ottamiseen käytettiin #htc #one #m8.)
Ihanaa joulun odotusta joka tapauksessa meiltä kahdelta!
With these shots I wish my family and friends abroad a Merry Christmas!
I was trying to capture some serious #wefie. This is the outcome.
ps since I have fans in Russia I'd love to wish you all Merry Christmas in Russian. I can only write my name in Russian so this is what I found on the Internet. Does it make any sense? Счастливого Нового Года и Рождества!
Or should I say "technically retarded"? Of course this doesn't apply to, um, like, everything but in this case that's really the case: technically retarded.
I've got two Apple laptops, one for work, and one for "not work". It wasn't until recently that I realized that you can do this with the cord. It all makes sense, now. And I don't have to fold the cord in knots to make sure it sticks to the charger when traveling, not any more.
Did you know this?
Oh boy!
It's summer, this summer. Or should I say "last summer"? Well, any way, I'm referring to t h a t summer that we had like less than fours months ago here. I'm sunbathing. And my sister's dog, mr. Ukko, is sitting o n me!
We had a nice walk earlier that day. It was so sunny and hot that I felt like sucking some Sun in. I even had a blanket put in the shadow, for mr. Ukko. But, as you can see in the pic, he's sitting on me. There we were: me trying to get some Sun, mr. Ukko wanting to sit on me.
Thoughts?
It looks like I'm having a lot of fun (few months back).
And, indeed, I am!
I got my driver's license when I was like 19. I got my license during the winter time, and I just didn't drive. I was afraid of the icy roads, snow, and all that. Now I love driving my dad's Jeep Grand Cherokee! But don't let this pic fool you. I'm a girl with many talents: I can drive a scooter, too (no matter what). And safety comes first even if I (you) look like a dork. Remember that, fool!
ps this one's for you, my dear sister Marika! You were the most hardcore Scooter fan that I know.
Girls just wanna have some fun!
I've got some trampolines near me. It's a public play park where people like me (adults, erm...) go and have some fun. Thanks for the photos, Riikka!
I've been an avid photographer for as long as I can remember.
I got my first camera when I was eight or nine years old. I started with our cats and rabbits (and my sister). Then I moved on to horses and rock stars (and my sister's dog mr. Ukko). Now I am taking photos of mushroom... Don't ask me if they are eatable or not. *)
*) Some of them are red, some are not. Some of them are the size of my head, some are not.
I'm practising baseball in July.
And I sucked!
I got 14 (and a half) missed bats (out of 16 bats). I guess I got "out" in baseball terms.
Even though Finnish baseball (pesäpallo) is quite popular here in Finland I was surprised by the fact that there are eight baseball teams here, even one in Tampere. The teams have interesting names such as tigers, bullets, mets, boars, pirates, and black sox.

We are walking on Lake Näsijärvi a couple of winters ago (19.2.2012).
It's just snow, ice, snow shoes.
And a pair of Uggs.
And mr. Ukko.
ps can you, just by having a quick look at the photo, say that I'm as depressed as one can be in his / her life? Well, believe me. A month prior to walking on snow shoes I almost committed suicide. But, hey, it's #tbt. I've never been this happy in my life before (well, maybe on some occasions). I'm, like, living my life to the fullest. I've found that inner peace in me. And that's all that matters - to me.
Joo-o, tiedetään! Kun sinä synnyit, aurinko paistoi täydeltä terältään ja oli äitienpäivä. Kun taas minä putkahdin maailmaan, myrskysi. Ja myrskysin. Sairaanhoitaja oli minut nähdessään todennut: "Onpa kiukkuinen vauva!" Say no more...
I'm pretty sure one of the very few who ever got this!
It's a vip for student parties organized here in Tampere - it's valid for as long as I shall live - like 4ever. No standing lines, and it's plus one.
I've used it once.
And, yes, that's me in the pic.
No ni! Käsi ylös, jos kätköistäsi löytyy Boomi ry:n myöntämä elinikäisvip Boomin poikkitieteellisiin haalaribileisiin! Niitä bileitä tuli järjestettyä pari vuotta; pari vuotta tuli jaettua mainoksia (kiitos Lasse ja Starlet!), seisottua lipunmyynnissä (kiitos Boomin hallitukset 2000 ja 2001 sekä kaikki muut, jotka enemmän tai vähemmän vasten tahtoaan raahasin yölliseen työvuoroon!) ja rahastettua yöllinen kuljetus Hervantaan (kiitos Mikko!)! Kiitos kaikille teille, jotka teitte opiskeluvuosistani vuosia, joita unohdun yhä aika ajoin muistelemaan!
ps biisi on omistettu kaikille teille, erityisesti Jussille! t. Prodigy
pss anekdoottina paljastettakoon, että noina kahtena vuotena tulin tutuksi Tampereen yöelämän portsareille "Lady Dominana".
As you can see we are having a blast at bowling (just by having a look at our shoes). I still kinda remember that night. It was freezing when we walked home (Noora's place). We had the best parties at Noora's, didn't we?
I still keep in touch with some of the girls.
Looking forward to seeing you at Noora's on Saturday...
