she used to be a pearl

Hi world out there.

Well I am just listening to the new Katy Perry album "Teenage Dream" on Spotify. And there are two songs on the album that I really love. The first one is "Pearl" just because of the lyrics; "She used to be a pear,..... Can't believe she's become a shell of herself...." But in the end the pearl is back, so yeah it was just hidden (or lost) for some time but the pearl didn't die. This kind of spirit I also learned to have. Life is just like that! Bad things can happen, and they will happen, but there will be always something good following up as well.

When I remember back some years ago, I hard a hard time to learn that lesson, but I managed and it made me strong. And I guess people are right when they are saying that shit and assholes make one strong,.... But well I guess I won't dig too deep into this subject now ;)

The other song I love on the album is "Not like the movies" and again the lyrics mean a lot to me. The dream about finding the right match, but realizing that you can't find him/her, it's more that you need to be found by him/her ;). And well the piano is just so damn beautiful, so another reason to love that song ;).

So yeah I guess that was it already for today, maybe it wasn't that much, but I really won't dig the subject deeper here ;).

lots of love from Finland,

moths flying into the light

Hello once again.

After today I really think that the Finnish summer is over now. It was a rainy autumn like day today (though in the late afternoon the sun came through). But to be honest I really love autumn. When leaves turn reddish and the sky is more grey than anything else. I kinda think it's the beauty of melancholy which you just can experience in autumn ;).

What else happened since my last entry?!? Somehow not that much and then again so much. Probably once again it just depends on the point of view.

Last weekend showed me again, what good friends I found here in Helsinki. It's somehow a miracle what ways life goes from time to time. But I am so glad about some ways that my life took, because those people I am right now talking about, they are very important to me. I know they are there when I need them, I know I can always trust them. And in my life I learned pretty early that this is not that normal in this world!!! Yeah the good old lessons that life teaches us ;)

well anyhow I think it's time to thank those few people who I definitely can call my besties ;)

With love from Finland,

Today's song:

Blurish Nonsense

Hi everyone :)

yeah I am still alive after last weekend ;). The festival summer is now over and I have to say it was one of the bests I've ever had ;). Thanks to all the ones who've shared with me those precious moments!!!

Yesterday I met some very nice people (for three years they are already a part in my life) and so yesterday was just awesome (though the day didn't start too well ;)). But I think we all can agree that there is nothing better in life than the people who are truely caring about you. I think especially today's life is really busy and people tend to forget about the small things in life. So I think it is important to just relax from time to time, to take a deep breath and maybe take a look beside the road you are walking on :). Lately I've read "The Zahir" by Paulo Coelho. For me it was the first book written by him that I've read but I have to say the thoughts in this book, they are so basic but still so pure and important!!! We shouldn't take anything for granted, because things just might change over the next night or day. At this point I'd also like to mention the movie "Remember Me" wich is also a brilliant one. The movie is based on the same thought; live the moment because you never know what will happen.

I think I started to think about this again, because of two things; a) my life has been quite busy lately and I think I kinda forgot to look beside the road I am walking and b) some friends went lately through some shit, and I think some of that could be avoided when people just would start to respect each other a bit more and wouldn't take everything for granted. I know this sounds a bit like this let's-make-a-new-world-which-will-be-pink-and-no-one's-ever-sad-shit. And trust me, I know that life ain't such a pink world full of flowers where everyone loves each other. Nevertheless I think that sometimes at least those people who call themselves someone's friend should at least try to care more for each other.

well, I guess those were now just some thoughts I had to write down!!!

And here the Top5 of my momentary playlist:

1. B.o.B. feat. Hayley Williams - Airplanes
2. Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love the Way you Lie
3. TicTacToe - Spiegel
4. Irina - Et huomaa
5. Nightwish - The Pendulum and the Poet

WEEKEND!!!!

Wuhu,... here comes another weekend :) but this time a damn rocking one ;) It's the Ankkarock-Weekend ;) so yeah I'll be tomorrow and Sunday straying around on the festival area, enjoying good music and hopefully good weather ;) but just in case I'll have the rubber boots with me ;).

I wish you all as much fun as I am going to have :)

Pure Confusion....

Hi again....

Gosh is my calender lying or is it really already August? O.O time really seems to run, but there is now one thing why I am happy about the fact that time is running ;) Because next month finally the skating season starts again for me :) so I'll be back on the ice and having my weekly training :)

Otherwise the last time was strange once again. There were such brilliant moments which just show me that life is definitely worth living, but then there were those little moments where I just questioned everything. And somehow this kind of feeling just pushes me down -.- but maybe also that just belongs to the thing we call life ;).

Tears in your eyes,

sadness on your face.

traces burned into your face,

memories of the past.

You chose the fight,

you dared to take the step.

You wanted to live.

But all you're left with,

is a broken dream.

You were strong,

never looked back.

Never questioned anything,

and always went your way.

Back in the golden days,

people looked at you,

loved and admired you.

Now, the sun is gone,

and you are alone.

The shooting star you're hoping for,

it won't come this night.

The warmth you are longing for,

won't meld your coat of ice.

With love from Finland,

Oceanlady

questions over questions...

here I am again,... and gosh again a lot of things happened this week. It was really a very busy time.

Earlier I told you that I would move, well I can forget about this plan right now. It's just not possible right now, but I will see, I hope that one day in the near future I have the chance of really moving closer to the city center.

Well, but as already kinda mentioned in the heading of this post. There are things running through my mind, thoughts..... some are quite clear others not really. For example I met some friends last week, and we talked a lot about different things which happened lately. And somehow that one question popped up in my mind: "What do we expect in life?" or what can we expect and what shouldn't we expect?

I guess everybody has their own opinion and answer to that question, but might it anyway sometimes be that we expect too much and that's why we fear to take some steps in life?!?

gosh I am getting philosophical once again,... but well those questions just somehow stayed in my mind... maybe due to the action that took place in my life last week. Life just seemed to go on the fastest lane on a highway once again.... I guess in such times one just starts to think about those basic things.

lots of love,

Oceanlady

Not a usual weekend

Hello world out there ;)

though the weekend lies already a bit behind and we are in the middle of another week, I'd like to share my experiences from last the weekend with you :)

I have been at the Pori Jazz Festival. Some of you might think now "WTF Jazz??" and to those I just quote Frank Zappa "Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny." The festival was really an awesome experience. The whole feeling was just very relaxed and one was able to see that people came there to enjoy the whole atmosphere.

Well, so we stayed from Friday until Sunday in Pori. It was actually my first time in Pori (apart from one or two times, where I was just passing through the town ;)) And well what shall I say the town reminded me a lot of my hometown. Seaside, kinda small town but once year there is a huge happening and the whole city is full of life. Yeah I guess right now I kinda regret that I missed this year's festival in my hometown ;) Especially the medieval part of it (though it's nothing compared to the real medieval festivals) I kinda miss, but next summer will come for sure and then I might be again in middle-europe ;).

At the Pori Jazz Festival we watched on Saturday night N.E.R.D. and Massive Attack. Both bands were just brilliant and we had a lot of fun while dancing and partying ;) On Saturday we went to watch Eric Bibb (who was actually pretty good, it was just the perfect music for a Sundaz morning picknick), the Gustav Lundgren Quartet feat. Teemu Viinikainen and Husband(the last band reminded me with their sound a bit of Dream Theater).

And then Sunday evening it was time to leave Pori again, kinda sad that time went by that quickly (once again) but I know one day I gonna go to Pori again ;).

I still didn't receive the photos from that weekend, but I guarantee you, that as soon as I gonna get them I gonna put one or two online here ;).

Lots of Love,
Oceanlady
