I've been to lots of gigs this summer (and fall).
Last Saturday I got to see Cheek. It's not really my kind of music but I did like the show with the fireworks and all...

tbt (30.7.2015)

... me, my bébé and AC/DC on the stage!

tbt (14.5.2015)

We all look so dapper...
Back then we didn't know anything about Internet. Or sms. We didn't know there will be things like YouTube and Facebook. Have we ever heard about dvds, digital cameras, or selfies? Did we miss Emojis or Instagram? I think we were pretty happy with what we had.

ps do you find me in the photo?

tbt (26.3.2015)

It's Thursday again.
This Thursday I want to take you to the streets of Munich, Germany. We are leaving for clubbing and I definitely look wasted. I don't remember when this shot was taken, maybe five, six or seven years ago. But I think I still look the same when wasted.

tbt (12.2.2015)

Yeah, I know my music.
I think this photo was taken, um, maybe in 2001.
I'm definitely wearing Miss Sixty and Levi's.

It's #tbt again.
This time I had to go way back in the h i s t o r y.
I think this pic was taken in 1997. I had my hair cut right after I got my second High School Diploma, this time in Kurikka, Finland. I'm sitting on my dad's bike. He rebuilt it all by himself. And later sold it to someone in Koskenkorva. My dad thought that that ride didn't run fast enough.

tbt (30.10.2014)

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?

Selfie (an Ode to the Summer)

Yesterday I felt like summer (for like a second) while having Ray-Bans on.

I may put them back on to feel, like, an endless summer.

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.

tbt (2.10.2014)

It's me!
It's my two teeth!
And my big (huge!) smile.

My mom told me that I didn't like to just sit down and have my pictures taken when I was a kid. *) That's why you cannot see the summer hat my mom knitted me in the picture (and she knitted it especially for that special day in my (special) life). I still have that dress hanging in my closet at my parents. **) But we haven't seen that hat ever since.

*) This applies to my day-to-day life even today...
**) I can show it if you like.

tbt (25.9.2014)

I'm sitting on my friend's porch, her dog between my legs. Her name is Esteri.

I haven't known too many of dogs in my life.

Our neighbor had a dog named Eppu. I used to take him out for long walks when I was just a kid. Then I got to meet Roxy in 1995 when I was staying with the Vega family in Palmdale, California. My nephew, mr. Ukko, was born in October 2006. Then there is Nana, a four-year-old boxer girl. And Miina who passed away almost three years ago. She was also a boxer, her heart made of pure gold.

I love them all so very much.

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'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.

It's Bruuttus and me.

Horses changed my life - for good! When I was a kid all I could think of was horses. I didn't start horseback riding then but two years ago. Now, I couldn't live my life without having these beautiful animals in my life. It's pure love!

tbt (10.7.2014)

This #tbt doesn't take me that far - 'til Tuesday.
We were sitting in the city park having some bubbling.
And am eating a marshmallow. Lovin' life! #geek

Many Thanks (2.7.2014)

Thank you for your birthday wishes, hugs, kisses, sms; cards, presents, and for being there for me!

For one day I can wear my tiara and feel like a true princess.

Summertime Sadness

It's #selfie #time.
I'm wearing gloves, I have a jacket on...
Some how it doesn't feel like summer, at all.

Tapahtuma: Suvi-Vintage (29.6.2014, Tallipihalla Tampereella)

Suomen kesää uhmaten päätimme ystäväni kanssa tutustua naapurissani järjestettyyn Suvi-Vintage-tapahtumaan. Viikonlopun ajan Tallipihalla on voinut tutustua 30-lukuun ja lomailuun. Ohjelmaan on sisältynyt niin miesvoimistelua kuin tänään järjestetty muotinäytös, jossa nähtiin 30-50-lukujen loma- ja ranta-asuja sekä muita vintage-asuja. Kaupan oli myös vintage-aarteita sekä erilaisia käsityöläisten tuotteita.

Kierreltyämme tapahtuma-alueella hienoisessa tihkusateessa pistäydyimme Tallipihan Suklaapuodissa. Kotiin lähtiessämme huomasin historian elävoittämisseura Etulinjan esittelyn. Etulinja pyrkii kuvaamaan yksittäisten, tavallisten sotilaiden elämää toisen maailmansodan etulinjoissa mahdollisimman aidolla tavalla varustautuen ja toimien. Etulinja edustaa "elävän historian toimintaa". Tuntemattoman sotilaan hengessä pyysin saada kokeilla esillä olevia aseita. Näin silmissäni kohtauksen Tuntemattomasta sotilaasta: "Ja KK:ta ei jätetä!" Vaan olisin minä sen kk:n jättänyt. Kannatellessani yli kahtakymmentä kiloa rautaa käsivarsillani kiitän hiljaa mielessäni niitä suomalaisia miehiä, jotka puolustivat isänmaatani. Ja kannattelivat sen painoa käsivarsillaan.

This picture brings back so many memories.

It's a b i t vague but there's someone special jumping on a ball.

Either I was too drunk to even take photos or he on the ball was going way too fast...
We had Midsummer's Game Night on.

My Take on Soccer

I feel like we all n e e d to have a team we cheer for in the FIFA World Cup.

Since I have like no opinion in this particular matter I go for England.

You can start guessing - why?!
