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!

Mammals

When I was a kid I loved reading. It didn't matter what it was I read it.
As early as I can remember there were for at least two groups of books that I loved the most:
horror and animals!

I loved everything Stephen King (even under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) wrote (except for The Dark Tower series). I got a brand new King every Christmas (- and a Guinness Book of Records)... But I also had a softer side to me: animals, and especially wild animals. I read everything about elephants, hyenas, gorillas...

When I saw this video I couldn't help but cry. Big tears, elephant tears. I think I'm an elephant myself. Never try and fool me - I'll remember it for as long as I shall live.  (Elephant brains are the size of over 5 kg (11 lb).

Just like my idol, Stephen King, I'm a huge fan of ac/dc. And I'm on the highway to hell. Thank you for asking!

It's that time of the week, again.

Now it's time to give some love to my dear cat, Aune. I had her for almost 15 years by my side. She was my true friend. There was no night when she didn't cuddle with me. She helped me with my homework. She always had her eyes on me. She never left home.

When I was staying in Uppsala, Sweden, in 2002, I got a phone call very early in the morning. I had been partying the whole night and was still a bit drunk when I heard my phone ringing. It was my mom. She was crying. Aune had passed away in the morning. Peacefully. 

I knew my friend was leaving for Finland in the evening. I called her and asked if I could join her. I could. The very next day we held a small funeral for Aune with my mom and dad. Everytime I pass her tombstone I cannot help but cry. She was my first love. I miss you so much, Aune!
