just a normal day ;)

Hi everyone,

it's me again ;) Thought I let you know that I am still alive ;)

Well, honestly here didn't happen that much lately. The normal ups and downs, but what would the life be without them? right, it would be a bit boring ;)

We are still waiting for spring to arrive, it really lets us wait -.- just last night it snowed again (though not that much, but still ;)) and today morning we had -10°C. But at least the sun was /is shining very bright at the moment ;) so it gives us at least the feeling that spring is knocking at the door ;)
And when I look at the calendar I notice once more that time is running ;) we are already in the second half of March, so in about one month I am going to move to Helsinki. I am so thrilled to finally move back home ;). At this point I have to mention my amazing friends in Helsinki, they never let me down in the past and also now with this "big" move they are helping me with all kind of things!!!! honestly guys, without you I'd never ever made it that far ;). KIITOKSIA PALJON TEILLE KAIKILLE ;)

well what else goes through my mind right now?!? probably not too much since I relaxed a bit this week, this was just necessairy after the last two weeks, my brain totally felt like being toasted.... but this week I was able to recharge my batteries and so I think I'll have the energy to give everything in that very last part of my theoretical studies ;).

I wish you all a very nice rest of the week and a nice weekend ;)

here the song of today:

Hyvää Naistenpäivää (Women's day)

Hi everyone,
I am back in "winter wonderland". I came bac home yesterday evening after spending two nice days at my host family's place in Helsinki.

Now I just keep wondering what I did last week that I still feel in a huge need of vacation... One week is just not enough, especially when teachers don't care and the pile of work just keeps on growing and growing. But I guess that's life ;). But so I skipped the skating lesson today, so that I can focus 2 more hours on "Business law and ethics" yeah it sounds exciting, I know ;)).

I hope you all are doing fine, and to all the female readers here: "Have a great women's day". Just be the queen today ;).

lots of love from Finland,
Oceanlady

Terveisiä Saksasta

Hi everyone,

I feel like letting you know that I have a wonderful week here in Germany. Although it's almost over. Tomorrow I gonna fly back to Finland. But I won't think about that right now, rather I just wanna enjoy the last day with my family ;)
I think most of you know that I am a total "family-person", so yeah every holiday that I spent here with my family is kinda recharging my batteries ;). And when I see the upcoming actions in my life I think I really need this energy package ;).

But now a short summary about the most wonderful moments in the last week. Last Friday I had some friends over, and we had a really nice relaxing evening with a lot of laughter ;). Then last Saturday I went out with some friends, that was a long and very funny night ;) Although we stayed 'till 4am or something like that in the "Tunis" (my favourite bar/ club here), I wasn't able to talk to all the people I wanted, since there were just too many people I wanted to talk to ;).
Sunday was a total "family-day" and that was just wonderful :). Nothing special just the typical things and especially a nice dinner ;). And then on Tuesday I met two friends and had another very nice day.

Ok I think that's enough for now, 'cause I wanna enjoy the last day with my family ;).

Lots of love from Germany,

The philharmonic orchestra from Kemi

Hello my dears,

yes this time I have to share a lot of information with you ;) Well let's see whether my mental condition is already that well that I am able to write some sentences here which conain at least some sense ;)

Yesterday 7pm it was THE moment, the doors of Pakkahuone opened. And slowly the queue moved inside. It was my first time in Pakkahuone, so far I have had been just in Klubi. The stage of Pakkahuone is bigger than in Klubi, but still it's not too big, so that there is still this nice intimate club atmosphere.

At 7:45pm the support band "Winterborn" took the stage. Well let's say as a warm-up act they weren't that bad. There were even one or two songs that I partly liked (mostly because of the vocal lines). But in general their songs sounded too much the same all the time.
I think we (me + my besties) still had a nice time ;)

After "Winterborn" ended we had to wait 'till 9pm. Then we finally saw the act that made us come to Pakkahuone ;) SONATA ARCTICA!!! The intro (known from the latest album) was brilliant (well what do you expect if Apocalyptica was working on it ;)). Then the guys came on stage and started the show with "Flag in the ground". The gig was kinda brilliant :) Tony again played the "story-teller" also he showed us that he is able to yodel (yeah he really did that ;)) I think that yodel thingy made the two austrians standing next to me really feel like home ;).

The set-list contained songs like: Fullmoon, Paid in Full, As if the world wasn't ending, 8th Commandment, Replica, Juliet, Black Sheep (thx for playing my eternal fave ;)), The cage, The last amazing grays, Black and White and Don't say a word.

Tony did then some nice singing lesson with the audience and together we sang "We will rock you". That was pure fun and made this concert a unic moment in my collection of memories.

The end of the gig was then the Vodka song (but this time no slave came on stage to serve the Vodka ;)), which this time went over into a part of "Everything fades to grey".

Well, what else shall I say, I think everybody who has seen this band already knows how active they can be on stage, especially Tony jumping and dancing around on the stage ;). I just can say I enjoyed that gig and can't wait for the next one :).

I just wish that they would finally create some girly shirts that look a bit more attractive ;). Guys I would have been in the mood to spent money ;)

But well, I think that's enough of yesterday ;)

A lot of love from Finland

Melkein lomalla ;)

Hi everyone :)

I hope you all are doing fine as well :) I am doing fine up here in the north ;) Today we have a brilliant winter day. It is sunny and cold, it is kinda perfect winter weather :)

A friend from Germany is right now here for holidays, she is staying one more week and joining on my flight to Germany (one week holiday for me ;)). But since she isn't that often here we are doing some sight-seeing, shopping and other things that make me almost feel like I have holidays ;) But just almost ;) because today one more exam and then two essays to submit. But then I can almost relax ;)

I am kinda looking forward for my Germany trip, because I know I'll see some nice people again, who I haven't seen in ages.

Paljon terrkuja

happy mood

Hi everyone :)
I am still alive :) but right now I am way too busy to keep you up to date, and I am really sorry about that ;) but well, there are so many things to arrange ;) finding a flat etc etc. And then also not forgetting the normal university stuff ;)
but again there is a light at the end of the tunnel ;) I gonna have a week off at the end of next month :) so I'll head to the south to have a relaxing week at my parent's place ;) I am really looking forward for it :)

I am sorry, but I am sitting once again in a lecture and should start to pay some attention ;)

lots of love from Finland,
Oceanlady

Hyvää uutta vuotta ;)

Hello everyone,
here I am, back in the world-wide-web ;) I decided for myself to spent all my holiday almost without any connection, that's why I wasn't really able to keep this blog up to date ;) But honestly I don't regret it :) I had a wonderful time off, I was able to relax as much as possible during all that christmas rush ;) and I had a great company all the time, although the company changed when I came back from Helsinki (where I spent my christmas time last year[isn't strange to say "last year"?!?]). For new year's eve my sis came over, and we spent a really nice time together. Watching movies, doing some after-christmas shopping, enjoying good food and taking walks through the nature. It was really a brilliant week that I just had.

The next breaking news: I got a new flatmate, a Finnish one this time :) but again just for a short time, but this time it's due to the fact that I gonna move out :) I gonna move back to Helsinki, back home I say :) I still can't believe it totally, but yeah everything goes according to plan xD

And also for you guys, the song of the year:

Echt - 2010

Lots of love,
Oceanlady
