30. Time for this blog to be updated.....

Sooo as i think u might have noticed i've been extremely lazy and unproductive in what comes to running this blog. I have no excuses.

And i had this wonderful idea of showing off all this cool stuff i've bought during last 3 months or so, but i just got an inspiration out of the blue and just had to get this post done :___D anyway, i've got a deadline approaching next morning (the report which i've barely started), so i dont use time to take any new pictures now. As it's been so long, i just write anything that comes to my mind that i've been up to lately!! Please enjoy.

So it's been nearly a month. Which means a lot of action, a lot lazying around and a lot of school. I've been quite unsocial, to be honest, and the nights spent out sitting in a pub discussing basic stuff and politics might not be the ones you're particularly interested in :D

Well as i said i went sky diving!! It's probably been the most amazing thing in this month!! but it really was amazing O.O" I mean, i was scared to death and shitting myself when the plane took off, but it was worth it :__D

We took a bus to this military base in 90 minutes drive away from Kingston, it was somewhere near Stonehedge (apparently u could've seen it up from the air but i didnt know that before it was too late XD). The journey started 6:30 saturday morning, but i slept for the whole time so it was ok. The ppl were amazing and the atmosphere in society was great. I think it helped we all were in the same situation and gonna do something none of us had done before, so it was easy to bond :33

First we had this ground training for 6 hours, they told us how to jump (the landing pattern, rigth jumping position etc) and how to change to the spare canopy in case the main one wouldn't work... it seems 1 in every 700 has a malfunction so we just had to hope and pray it wouldn't be any of us :_D on that day we couldn't jump (it was dark when we finished), so we headed back to leave our stuff in the barracks where we were supposed to sleep that night, in sleeping bags with tens of rndm ppl.

The most amazing part of the trip, at least for me, comes next. We walked back to the jumping centre, and the stars just...... lsdjlksajld *www* it was the most beautiful starry sky i've ever seen in my life, just left me breathless. We could see the milky way and all these fancy star-figures i couldn't recognise. Then we went to bar and had a great night there, but at some point during the night me and some guys went out and just looked to the space and into the stars, we were all a bit drunk so it all seemed even more amazing than before, we talked about life and i seriously was wondering why i'm studying politics when there's the whole amazing sky above us and ppl seem so small and meaningless.. Then there was a shooting star. Whooooommm. The perfect night created.

the training place

some bad-ass military plane *www*

this was the baby we jumped from~ (see the sexy coveralls we used<3)

sky full of jumpers~

going to the plane

hahahaha this happened when we went back to the pub after having seen the shooting star, all amazed by the beauty of the galaxy... this dude drinking beer from a shoe. welcome to england.

oh god it was so beautiful on the jumping morning ;; but cold, see the snow on the roof tops!!

then this plane because u just have to love planes and it's so top gun B)

then there are us in the plane...

...aaaand off we go!!

Then what have i been doing...? I've made some new friends and been to movies and stuff like that but i think that's it :__D pretty boring things lately.... BUT OH WAIT!

I did do something. This saturday i went to see jason mraz at the O2 arena!! It was quite extempore, i only booked the tickets the night before the show hehe. I really love his music and lyrics, but i didnt have any bigger expectations for the gig, however, i can say it made it to the TOP5 of all the lives i've ever been to, and i've been to some real kick-ass concerts so thats pretty well :DD

Though, it was pretty lonely there :___D the whole place was full of couples from every continent, nearly all the songs and speeches were about love on some level and there even was a proposal during the concert.... then there was me, awkwardly trying to enjoy the night amongst all those lovers. Well there was two empty seats right behind me and it gave me some hope; i kept on imagining it was booked by some couple who had had a terrible brake-up just before the night and now were crying their eyes off somewhere... Might be horrible, but we dont know if that was what had happened for real so i can keep my vision :_D

Note to self: do not go to these kinds of events on the days when you feel alone and miss someone.

outside

and in.

had a good view

Goooood it looked so wonderful when all these ppl were holding their phones up to the music ;; these kind of moments i really feel the awesomeness of the life

But musically and on every other level it was amazing and gets the iruze-approves stamp. Go if u have a chance and like his music.

Yepp. Then here's a perfect metaphor about the kind of life i lived in november....

Drinking my tea from this on computer....

...on the table that looks like this...

...in this mess i call my room. Mom, if u read this i do apologise.

Kingston Christmas market :33

On my way to school, leaves everywhere.

hahaha ok one day i went to walk around this cemetary, it's located _right _next to _our halls. you can see the building in the end of that path. im sure i couldn't sleep if i had a room facing this way just saying..

the clayhill cat :333 he lives on the campus and belongs to no-one so i took him up to keep me some company, he was so needy and happy to get some love ;;<3

hahaha then earlier today there was this incident when i passed the fire extinguisher.... it just fell from the wall and the alarm went off. now it's left this way.. for our luck we eat a lot of pizza in this flat and are lazy to clean so we had some pizza boxes we could use. i dont know if i should laugh or cry. i really should try and be more hardworking.

Also, sorry for the lack of self-pictures lately, next post will consist of them i promise. But while waiting here u have one! I dont prove-read this post to save some time this time, so please ignore the possible typos!! Oh, and happy December~ :33

20. Nekotalo pt2, bars and the GazettE's live

So so so.

I've happily moved to the second house in Nekotalo now and must say i prefer the current room so much to the one i had before! Okay its a little bit over clean if you can say that (the house was built only 2 years before, while the one i was in the beginning really was old), but this is also smaller so it makes me feel more like home in here. Tho i have no problems in adapting usually, home is where you have your stuff and that's it XD if i should choose between these two, i'd take this room.

Only the bathroom is a little too small imo. Well i guess we'll get along well~ Here we go with the pics!! finally took them today after having cleaned up hehe (the same pics went to my mom so thats why :D)

Dining-computer combination!! 

Kitchen and the small fridge~

I even have a 'wardrobe' here, aka dont have to use the luggage bag anymore, yea!

Futon and behind it the tiny balcony with a damn heavy door >,<

See what i meant with small?? XD

So here you see better the whole thing i believeeeee

So that about it!! I love the way it lightens up during days because of so many windows :3

(about friday) After moving in I showered etc and then met Chikako at Shinjyuku station, at last the bar round i had been waiting for :----D tho it was raining heavily and cuz i rode a bike to the station here in Koenji my hair and clothes got all wet D:: So much for amazing looks. Well well.

We changed the places a lot, i think we visited 4 or 5 bars altogether so i have no idea of the names anymore..! And I didnt take pictures of every place or drink so these couple pics will do. I think I used about 3000 yen during the night, including the bike parking (400 yen) and eating at McD's so about the same amount as it would cost in finland for one bar night~

I look horrible in this one XD why is my bearing always that bad, i really should start sports, and my head is enormous!!

I love the small pub-kind of rooms we went to~ in japan there is no law that forbids smoking inside so that is nice too, you didnt have to get any more wet....... >,<"

Too bad the weather was so horrible, there were no ppl (ok exaggerating but you get the point) in most of the places...!! so we decided to go again some other weekend when we have chances to meet some interesting ppl. In Japan the last trains and buses are really early, at 1am(!!!!!), so if you cannot afford taxi and dont want to stay for the whole night you just have to go home early. We already left at midnight because of the weather and i got bed at 1am so not bad at all!

I really love random drunk conversations with strangers and this one was really hart-warming :3 I left for a conbini to buy some food and on the way there was this host (shinjuku's kabuki-cho is known for its host- and gay bars) who started talking to me and i was like no i just go buy a nikuman im okay and dont have time right now cya thx, but on my way back i met him again and he offered me an umbrella and walked me back in the pouring rain so i didnt get that wet (well shoes through anyway but not a big deal -________-") and because i didnt remember the bar we were then (like i said we went to many places) he helped me to find the right pub XD<3 and then when we left for the station we got across again lol

Next day, saturday it is, i slept til noon and then had to hurry to make it in time to the Makuharimesse in Chiba, where the GazettE's live was held (nearly 2 hours from my place). Lately i havent been listening to vrock that much and hadnt been listening to gazetto either, but when i saw the first reitas in the train the warm and nostalgic feeling got back at the exact moment XDD<3

I went all by myself so i didnt get the hyperventilation-thing haha, just stalked all the good looking cosses - japanese really know how to do it believe me, they make 110% hard work to look exactly like their idol - silently muahhahhaa. I didnt even buy any goods because a) all things i would have wanted had been sold out at the time i got there and b) the goods were kind of disappointment this time.

I realized i didnt take a pic of my outfit so i did it on the road then XD love that new shirt of mine~

Outside the makuharimesse

Before starting

The GazettE is the only band i really do love and consider myself as a fan, and seeing them live after a year made me fall in love with the music all over again, nothing was different tho it was the important live (10 year anniversary, 'DECADE') and all standing, so it really got hot in there!!!!! Aaaaa the feeling during 'LINDA' when everybody jumps around crazily without any barriers between strangers, all as a big family is one of the best moments *www* And during Filth in the Beauty when EVERYBODY jumps and the furis and the screaming of HOW LONG, HOW LONG, HOW LONG lsjdksdlsdjfl<3<3<3

omg got distracted but a great live altogether!! It had many pleasant surprises, miseinen was the first song and in the last encore we sang wakaremichi all together ;_; the last song was shunsetsuno goro, and it was snowing during thatttt!! When i got a shower later in the evening the snowflakes dropped everywhere off my clothes XD<3 It was also nice to hear every member speaking in the end, and the traditional hold-your-hands-jump and aaa! I was so happy they played 'anatano tameno kono inochi', personally it's a very important song for me. Then there was 'Swallowtail on the death valley' and 'Psychedelic heroin' that always make you go all umzigaum♪ (*www*)

Encore! Encore! Encore! (im aware its forbidden to take pictures during live, i didnt take any of the members.)

Cant you feel the atmosphere in this picture!??! ;_;<3

After the show the place was all white!!

Hahaha some drunk dude was tightly asleep..

After 3 days it still hurts a little to turn my head lol XDD it was real sporting, and the feeling of pleasure when i was sitting in the train back to home at night, all tired and my hair exploded but still so happy. I wonder if i should write a live report for JaME Finland, i used to write those but now havent been doing anything for quite a while.... i dont even know if there still are ppl who read J-rock news since it's not that popular anymore in finland.

Sunday i just slept, i was so tired of all the partying and already the day before i had had to take a bunch of painkillers to stop my head aching... So after all the headbanging it wasnt that much better XDD

But yesterday i went to shibuya to do a little shopping and found perfect jeans/leggins aaaaaa i am in love! I havent posted any of the new things bought here so i could do an entry of them next time :33 All the stuff here has been just about what i've been up to lately.. I also ate out in this italian restaurant and then went to karaoke and just sang sang sang gazette and larc en ciel XD At home I've watched some big bang theory hehe<3 must love the series.

Here's some live feeling for you too, Swallowtail is a song i just cant listen to without starting to move and sing along!!! Those guitars aaaa. I chose this live because rukis hot looks hahahaha if the guitars are not enough his hair kills me!!

Hahaha i remember when i showed this live to obaachan a year ago and when okaasan came into the room she (obaachan) was all like "check this out, that person (ruki) is amazing!!!" She is 85 years old XD<3 gotta love my host family :33

Enough fangirling for one post!! Have a nice week, maybe i'll be back tomorrow with more reasonable entry XD til then, luvz from koenji~

18. My home?

So. SO.

What should i say, living on my own now, near the city center...!! I have been going through so many feelings this day, that im feeling a little dizzy, at 7 o'clock i was ready for bed XDD but i made it through and now im just chilling around the house with some music and WIRELESS connection. Bless you.

Okaasan and I left home about 2pm and took all the luggage (one big trunk, one smaller, a guitar and some smaller bags lol) here. Met the host woman who seems to speak finnish too (i dont know since we were all there and spoke in japanese as okaasan doesnt know any finnish). She was somehow... dunno, not smiley and polite like ppl here normally are, but a little awkward and.. yeah. just awkward. And there are no cats D::: It's just called Nekotalo (a cat house) cuz the owner likes cats, it seems.

Anyway she left us here, and we started checking out the places. Maybe some of you remember, but the first 9 days i'll stay at a bigger apartment, not in a single room (another guest will be there in the beginning, so i got this without any extra expenses for the first beginning). The house is really old and kinda dusty, and has many sections so i have no idea what's going on in another end of the apartment. Alone this would be absolutely too big, but luckily Suski and Elina will pay me a visit from 3rd on so it will be perfect then~

I really have deep feelings for okaasan, it was so... cant find the words but after the woman had gone she looked at me and asked me to come back home and stay til my friends come, since it's all too cold and lonely to be alone in here ;_;<3<33<3 i was like....... yeah. but i decided to stay for a night anyway and look how it would go. So she made me promise i'd call in the morning and tell how it was, and then maybe come and stay home XDDD<3

After we had put the rice cooker on we went to see the shootengai and shop for food, she told me how to cook everything and wanted to get me a hot carpet but we couldnt find any and i was hungry so we gave up.

I have to make a whole entry of the Koenji shootengai, its amazing amazing amazing amazing!!! And i dont need to cook since they're selling everything so cheap and aaaa i just love the place!!! The central 'city' is so full of small alleys full of places to eat and drink full of tastes and smells full of ppl that it will take me a good while to get bored in here!!!! I-m-in-heaven. And the older lady who sold me my piiman (i dont know the word in english, a kind of small, green paprika and you usually fill them with meat and fry), pumpkin salad (my everlasting love) and fried fish, also gave us some pieces to taste and some food without any cost \(    ´,`)/// wanna be my girlfriend??

Can you imagine the whole dinner with 360 yen?!?! And it made me feel like i'd have actually cooked by myself cuz i ate them at house with the self-cooked rice muahhahhaa. I can afford take-in food everyday ;_;<3 dream came true. Hahaha only speaking about food aren't I????


Then after having come back to Nekotalo Okaasan basically warmed me the stuff we had bought, a full pot of tea and made everything ready for me ::;___;;; i really cant....!!!! too much of love for one day D:::::: I dont know, maybe this sounds a bit sad but i am so much closer to okaasan than my own mom.... we have conversations of everything, okaasan is proud of the things i've achieved and laughs at my mistakes etc, knows the foods i love and takes care of everything, dont know...... back in finland we dont really spend time together and if i'd go and speak to my parents without a specific reason it would be strange. :/// makes me sad tho.

Well well. Tomorrow we should have gone to the bar but i really am not familiar with the place yet and near the house there was a sign that said to beware of someone taking you or your stuff so i decided it's not a good time to come back home late alone XD Yet. Chikako could have come here in the morning but i said its okay cuz she took a night shift at work so we'll go next friday then~~

Hahaha, now I'm tired again. But i need to give you the pics of the house!! urgh i have to upload them first f*ck this shit im too lazy for this now here we go ^____^

My new love ;_;<3 we'll have a wonderful short-period relationship, it's so cold here and when you put your legs down the table they are warmed :3

....that's how the place looks already XD

I'm so thankful there's a television, you dont feel alone at all while having it as a background noise. Just like at home, even tho you didnt actually watch the program~ Oh btw we had snow yesterday!!! And today 15 grades again o.o

When i opened my window in the morning!!

So strange!!

And interesting right? XD

I still have to link here a song for you to listen, I dont care of the band at all, but this one song is good, it's my feelings 100% at the moment. 100%. Well im having 5-room disco but you'll get the point XDD enjoying of sapporo lemon sake some previous guest had left here, thanks to him, and dancing around by myself~

Enjoy your days!!!! (o*ww*o)
