Since my wallet got stolen, as you may have heard, I still can get it out of my head, I have to go to the police station to fix some things. And I’m afraid of the police!! The station is one of the scariest places I know, and this is the 4^th or 5^th time this month I have to go there.
I blame my fear on Monika!! She’s the one telling me all those awful stories!

Wish me luck!

Happy Midsummer to ya'll!

Now Eurotour, where should I begin...

As you may or may not have heard, my wallet got stolen in Paris :( I did not like that! It got stolen in front of Sacre Coeur where me and my girls relaxed after a intense shopping tour and a busy free day from the exchange students… I was relaxed, until I realized I’ve been mugged… then I god “a bit” stressed again (sorry Mr. X for beeing difficult, you know who you are) but after a couple of hours wondering and chilling at the police station I got all my cards back (my ID, drivers license, insurance card and so on) That (among other things) made me kinda relaxed again… I’m still sad about my wallet that I actually loved! :( The good thing is that I have such a awesome friends that lets me borrow her credit card to withdraw money my dad sent me :) she was one of the things that made my trip! :)

Long story short, Paris was lovely but chaotic :) Some things I really wish never happened or wouldn’t have happened or that the person that was in it with me just forgot everything.

The best thing in Paris is without doubt LIDO, where I got some hours of luxury with my girls! :) Such an awesome, cool and beautiful place! If you don’t know what to do in paris and you have 150-200€ extra in your wallet, go to LIDO!! Hehe it’s worth it! :)

We stayed 3 night in Paris, so we had time there. The first day we went to Versailles… it’s like a whole new world! If you’ve seen the movie Marie Antoinette you would think you know how it was back then when you actually only get it if you’ve been to Versailles and seen the house. I don’t know how to explain it, so just go there and you’ll understand :)

That’s all I’m gonna tell you about Paris. You’ll get more about the trip later! Promise!

♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY IA MARIA SKRUTT-FIA!! ♥

So... I'm back in Finland

The trip was AWESOME! And it feels god to be back home, but at the same time it’s kind of sad not to have 87 exchange-students with a hell of a lot of (kinda stupid) questions all the time (you know I love you guys ♥), 2 drivers and 2 Rotarians (that behave like 5-year-old kids) around you all the time. I’ve had maybe 5 hours “alone time” in 18 days, so no wonder it feels different… but don’t worry about me, I’ll me fine *wink*

Soon I’ll go to the airport to pick up Monika and Gustav, and from there straight to the cottage where the family is ^^ I can’t stay here in Helsinki, it’s too… quite :(

I’ll tell you more about the trip later…

Ps. My wallet got stolen in Paris :’(

L8R ;)

Versailles, France

I know, I know, it's been a while, but somehow I just haven't had time to update :/ but I'm here now :) 

Dad's sitting on the balcony fixing the kitchen doors... don't ask! but if you do, here's an explanation:
it took too long time for the professionals to fix them and, well, we kind of need the door on Saturday. Enivei, the company that makes the kitchen doors said that we can get them in two weeks... that was 4 weeks ago, so we got them back and now we're (aka pappa) fixing them ourselves. The good news is that it's not that it's not that complicated so "Isä kätevä hoitaa homman" ( =dad gets it done)

enough about the doors! My graduation dress is almost ready. Mom's just going to do some changes and then it's done! :) It's light blue and dark red... it may not sound so nice, but I like it, and frankly I don't give a sh*t if you don't! :) On Saturday you'll :) I mean, if you're coming to us :) The only thing is, that I can’t decide how to fix my nails :/ Am I going to have light blue, dark red or French manicure with blue top and red all over… :/ decisions, decisions, decisions.

I went downtown today. Never have I heard so much Spanish and seen so many Spanish speaking people in Helsinki city on a Monday afternoon in the end of May. Why are the tourists coming to Helsinki? And why are the tourists coming to Helsinki in the end of May? I guess all the other flights to Sweden, Portugal, Italy, (I was going to say Spain too, but then I realized that they’re from Spain… blond moment) Brazil, USA, Thailand and all the other “better” places got overbooked and these fuckers were thrown over to Finland :D hihi hopefully they like our city though! :)

I have to go back to reality now, so…

See ya fuckers

On Saturday I had the Rotex Farewell-party. It made me realize how time flies fast (like bananas) and how little you make out of your time. I had an amazing time with the girls though :) I even got a present, and not a bad one!! :D (see picture) I absolutely loved it!! it a bracelet from Thomas Sabo of a light blue globe <3 couldn't suit me better <3 it's amazing how exchange students and ex-exchange students know you inside out even if you haven't known them for very long :) Thank you, once again for the present <3

I could go on and on about Rotary, Rotex and the exchange student-life, but I'm not going to bore you anymore with that :) so it continues: Saturday night I took the bike and took off to Ellen. There I stayed for the rest of the night, chilling and hanging :) It's always fun to chill and hang with E ^.^ I'm still chocked about her family moving from Villagatan :( But I guess I just have to deal with it :/

Sunday was a different day. I went to Linnanmäki with Ellen :) There I saw Tiina who works there :D We stayed there the whole day and it's a long time ago I had a fun day like that :) Ellen and I proved everybody that you never get too old for Linnanmäki, or any amusement park for that matter :) We even got all wet! :DD hihi

In the evning I once again went to Ellen ^.^ Stayed there for a couple of hours and just chilled :D and to answer your question: no, we don't do anything else than chill and hang! It may seem boring, but it's not! ;) Right, Ellen?

So finally this day; woke up at 10 am, got ready for babysitting Morris who's sleeping at this moment :D Mom and dad are absolutely in love with him, but of course they can't admit it. I have to say though; he is a little bit too cute :)

Had breakfast with Ellen today... I met her at 10am, but it felt like 6am :/ The best thing was, when we went to the store to buy the breakfast the lady who worked there (Ellen knows her) ask why she was awake so early... this was at about 10.20 am. You got to love being young and able to sleep 4ever :)

The saddest thing about the breakfast-date was that Ellen told me she's going to move :( Sure, it's greatest that she's moving closer to my home and all that, but I and we have so many memories from Ellen's apartment so it makes me sad to know that someone else (probably a creepy old guy/couple) is going to live there :( But nothing lasts forever, right?

I'm off to Lahti "to do" some Rotex with the girls ;)

How great is that?!! When you don't find things to shop in Helsinki, go to Tallinn! ;) I bought the ticket for 41€ (both ways!!!) I LOVE to be spontaneous! Think I'm going to start being that a little more often :D

Found a kind of funny picture today, thought I could share my findings :)

For starters, you haven’t heard from me because I haven’t had time to tell you anything. I have a lot to tell, but I’m not going to tell you anything here. If you want to know what I’ve done the last couples of days, you just have to call me and ask ;) It’s as simple as that!

I came home from Sweden this morning :( Sad, but true. It's boring to be home in Helsinki again after lovely days in Stockholm :/ I guess you can't hide from reality. 1 hour later I was on my way to the Fazer chocolate factory with Rotex :P I liked it, although I ate too much candy, but no can do, right? When you're in a chocolate factory, especially Fazer, you have to eat until you can't breathe :D or not... The sad thing is that I'm going there tomorrow again... With another group of exchange students... :D candy, here I come :)

Tonight I watched the hockey game (Finland 3 - 2 Latvia) with the Rotex girls :) I had fun, once again. It's hard not to have fun with the girls. I couldn't... not have fun even if I tried! Is that a good thing or a bad thing...? I can't really make up my mind about that...

Boa Noite!

Até outro dia

I’m spending the Easter holydays in Pirkkala this year. I was going to say “as always”, but then I remembered that that is not the truth. Last year we, my family and I, spent the holydays in northern Sweden and the year before that we spent it in BRAZIL BABY!! No offence to Sweden (I love that country) but Brazil wins over Sweden pretty easily (with an Italian accent). We did even have the Easter eggs, the Fazer Mignon eggs that my grandmother always gives us :D And, I have to say, it wasn’t easy to find an small egg made of chocolate in a apartment you’ve never been in before and, is not too small -.- ps. everybody found their egg ;D

My mom always hides the egg somewhere in the house (or the apartment or… whatever) and then we’re supposed to find the egg. It may not sound so fun for you, but we’ve done it for as long as I can remember and without the hide and seek there’s no Easter! The sad thing is that Maria and Johanna isn’t coming home this Easter, so it’s just going to be me, Monika, mom and dad this year.

SO, that’s the Easter memories for today.

See ya l8r, allig8r

I'm still watching One Tree Hill... I've seen season 1, 2, 3 and almost 4 :) It's just too much fun! But i won't lie, nothing will EVER beet Friends!!! :) ANYWAY (or like my dad would say it "enivei") if you've never seen One Tree Hill before, watch the clip ;) You may start watching the show and get addicted to it (like me), but do not blame me for that! :D

I made meringue today :) gave some to my grandmother and kept the rest for myself :) Somehow I just had to have some meringue, so I made some (smart, huh?!) and they're delicious! ^^
