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

26. SEOUL SEVEN NIGHTS pt1

I'm still here in Osaka, and since this is the last night of my little trip, I chose to make a little post for that!! And as i'll go back to Tokyo tomorrow night and only have 4 more days left in Japan, i can't guarantee another post before being back to Finland. Every single night is full booked with seeing friends and partying, saying the last good byes once again. For a while, i mean.

It's already been so many times I've had to leave important places and ppl and i can say.. you'll get very used to saying good-byes. It doesnt hurt anymore. it's just... okay, bye, see you later some day. Cause you know that day will come, and you know nothing's gonna change much. Or that's what it feels like when you think about all afterwards, even if you used to think nothing would be as it used to be when you'll meet again. Mostly it always will tho.

Kinda deep talk huh? XD Actually i'm on a great mood this night, having my own private party with Vampire Diaries' new episode i still hadn't had time to watch (it was so greatttttttt), and i bought some drinks from konbini that's next to jenni's home and yeah!! Now listening to good music and writing this~

So I'll give you a brief diary of the days i spent in Seoul, and include say 2 pics for each day okay? So it wont get too long!

May 1st
Got to the Kansai International Airport two hours before check-in even started, even once i was on time somewhere! Mostly thank's to the night bus but wellllll. Got to the hostel and it was more cleaner i had thought, took a quick shower and went out to explore the surroundings. The area i stayed is called Hongdae, known of its MANY clubs and lively student life, so it was a perfect place to stay! Bought shoes and 5 rings on the first day heha. Then to sleep as I was very tired after travelling for so many hours.

Leaving home at Soshigayaookura station on the 31st.

Shinjuku at midnight before getting to the bus, love this pic (took with the iphone tho!!) and i hadnt took any pics of the hostel room (basically just the beds XD) so take this instead.

May 2nd
On the breakfast i met 3 japanese employers staying in Seoul too, and got invited to walk the city with them!! It was a good deal, since i really had no idea of Seoul and they even had a co-worker with them who was Korean, so she showed us the places pretty well and we had someone to tell us what we were gonna eat etc :DD First we took the subway (cheap cheap cheap) and went somewhere near city-hall station, there is an amazing river (which's name i forgot..... :----)) ) and some office buildings and shops, then somewhere quite near a tourist place called Unzadon or something (these all are the names japanese are using so there might be mistakes XD), bought some souvenirs (=food). Then it was time for the lunch, so we took a taxi to a fine dog-meat restaurant. Yummy, but if you ask about the taste it was kinda.. it didnt have any specific taste :o expected something more of it..! After having eaten we tried to go and see the imperial palace but it was closed, so after walking myongdong a bit (popular shopping area for young ppl) we went up to the Seoul tower to look the city lights and aaaa it was fucking beautiful. Here i had already fallen in love with Seoul and seen pretty much since it's not that a big city after all, and still had the whole holiday before me. iinaaa.

At the river, you can see one of the jpn guys i was hanging with in the corner.

A korean little boy

I hope my baby dog will forgive me this XD

On the bottom of the Seoul (N) tower, there was also a light show shortly after this pic was took!!

7,068.98 km away from Helsinki, above the city lights.

We still went to see the Nandumon(??) market at night before heading back to the hostel, but there wasnt too much anything. And yeah, more than 2 pics.....

May 3rd
I slept longer than others and then met them up at the subway after the lunch time, we went to the fish market in the south side of the city. Was so worth of going!! You could choose the fishes you wanted to eat and they 'cooked' them for you at the market restaurant, but we ate it mostly raw, actually it was only cut in small pieces so the fishes/strange-shaped-creatures were still moving when you put them in your mouth. Mmmh. After that the rest of the group met up with some foreign friends and went to watch a musical, but i went to see the Idae station, where my friend Anna had told they'd sell cheap clothes, and i really wanted to shop. Actually i ended up eating for the whole time but it was good food so :DD In the night an Indian man (who i personally strongly disliked and really had to work hard to keep my mouth shut and stop saying some very arrogant comments) joined  us to have a lunch and then we went to walk the Toodaemon market or something. Well well.

Some bunny aunt on the subway.

The fish market was nice experience!! Only when i went to the toilet and there were rats it wasnt that nice :_D

These are the guys we ate.

For the japanese ppl last night (see the indian man in the corner).

My beautiful nameless river at night.

May 4th

The first day alone in the city!! So it was time for some shopping at last! I also went to the Lotte hotel to book a trip for DMZ (demilitarized zone between north and south koreas) for the next day! But this day i only shopped and ate :D

Under the hotel there was a duty free where i went for a walk but couldnt afford anything

Myongdong, bought that top!

<3<3

Some rndm commercial at myongdong :_D this is for oona or someone if it's someone you fancy.

I still havent uploaded the rest of the pictures, but there's some hard core partying coming so hang on :DD I'll put the four last days to the next post!

Oh, I also confirmed my university place in London for the next autumn so i guess i'm going then...!! Here I come, british accent and new adventures!!! It will be fun to learn more about the western culture after having got to know the japanese one.

Here two songs that are just like my mood right now~ The first one i just discovered today, and the second one (selena gomez, i know... but listen to it the lyrics are good and actually it's the first song i ever heard from her :_D) i got linked in facebook some weeks before!! So listen to the both and cheer for the night.

never let your fear decide your fate

I say ya kill your heroes and

fly, fly babe don't cry

No need to worry cuz everybody will die

Every day we just

go, go, babe don't go

Don't you worry

Things you swear you'll do before you die

But you're too damn scared to fly

Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.

Let's get the party started~

My 11 facts 

(wrote this ready yesterday noon, but dont think many of the facts have radically changed in the last 24 hours so.. XD)

1. i often hear i seem like the only child, scary isnt it... i have this horrible image of only childs >,<"

2. i hate my laughter

3. i actually have strong opinions and a lot of them, the perfect plans of how everything should be, but im always paranoid of what ppl think about me so i keep on pushing them down and sometimes i even find myself trying to please others. like not really please but for example leave my own thoughts unsaid and accompany to what the other ppl say. that's the feature i really do loathe in myself. but when it comes to speaking about feelings i have no problems.

4. i love driving and that's one of the things i miss the most from finland. next summer i'd love to make a night drive, just take off to somewhere and keep on going, listen to the music, maybe talk deep things if i had someone with me and watch the sun set and rise. would be nice.

5. i have eyeglasses i nearly ever use. i even use contact lenses only on the days i really do want to see well lol. im gonna buy new glasses so it would be pleasant to use them (those kind of with bold black/grey/brown spectacles), now i only have those old craps that make me look like a secretary....

6. food and eating are my passions. like really. really. really. i really enjoy different flavours and taste conbinations and eat all the time and yeah... gladly im not one of the ppl who fatten easily, id be doomed :__D maybe i should start doing some sports tho.... cant be healthy not to move at all.... but then again im too lazy for that..

7. ppl with a passion for something are the most attractive ones. passion for life, passion for a certain hobby, passion to be successful, passion for music, passion for themselves. i adore ppl with dreams that they really want to acchieve.

8. i love history and cultures and languages and international stuff and aaah. you got the point. something like that i'd love to do in the future. live abroad every now and then, travell... i dont need a big apartment, i'd rather have a cool car or bike, money for travelling and have adventures etc, live in a big old city... i love big cities. okay more than one fact XDD

9. at the moment im really looking forward to summer. i know it means my time here will be over, and i dont want that, but still... i love finnish summer and im sure this one will be the best one ever. i will make it the best. and if i will go to britain in autumn i want to do every single thing i have to do before leaving!! funny, i actually never used to like summers that much.. my favourite season is autumn tho, even still. then you can use jackets and dress properly, the smell of the leaves, the rains that fall and aaaaa  ;_;<3 darkness that starts to make its way back...

10. i have fucking small hands

11. i write poems and lyrics. lately not that often but i've noticed it always helps to clear my mind when im distressed or feeling strong emotions.

My 11 answers

1. If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?

I'd want to meet a guy full of old wisdom, someone who would have been born in the worst conditions ever but then been lucky to rise, make money and been successful in his life, have been to many interesting places and situations and doesnt need anything anymore and feels continent with how his life was. Someone with great ideas and no regrets.

2. If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?

Not sure if this means outside like out in the nature or out with friends, but if i really am out out, then im walking my dog, if im out like in Helsinki or so, then properly drinking.. not always in a bar but at a friend's place or picnic etc :D or just hanging around in someone's home, eating, playing...

3. What's your strangest talent?

Hmmmh no idea about my talents!! i dont even know any normal talents i'd have but i go with getting ppl to talk easily and tell about their problems when i want to know what's wrong :-d speaking of strange talents my lil sister, soon 17, can speak nearly any movie she has seen by heart and it really is fucking amazing O.O no idea how she does it!!

4. What was the last lie you told?

It must have been when i said i havent been having a boyfriend for a while. (i have never had one)

5. How do you vent your anger?

With music, going out and breathing some fresh air, with aggressive behaviour and things, writing, or then speaking with a friend. I really suck at venting my anger, when i really am angry there's no chance i could stop myself saying things i mean. but anyway i dont say things i dont mean.

6. What's a sound you hate; sound you love?

I hate the sound of nails scratching carton, the kind of brown thick paper >,< makes me feel sick; love the sound of fingers sliding on the strings of acoustic guitar that you may hear in some songs and the sound of rain and thunder. 

7. Smell the air. What do you smell?

Nothing because of this fucking cold D:: but im eating ice cream~

8. What's the worst injury you've ever had and how did you get it?

I really havent had any injuries as i recall...!! Once a dog bit me to my throat and i needed to take antibiotics. After that i didnt like dogs at all until we got ours XD my family only told me the day before like 'hey we're gonna get this puppy tomorrow', it was awful!!

9. If the whole world were listening to you right now, what would you say?

I'd proparly freeze and couldnt speak at all, im a terrible speaker XD but lets forget about that and play with the idea a bit. i'd surely say the life is too short to be sad and have regrets, and that everyone should try to catch their dreams instead of only putting up with what feels the easiest thing to do. oh, and that money is spent so wrong on this earth and that US isnt the whole world. that humankind should think more about the crap we have caused to this planet and all these basic things i think everyone should say.

10. What do you think is Satan's last name?

This one!! Interestinggg. I think it's the secret of this planet, the very information we need the most but only are too afraid to go and get.

11. What would you want to be written on your tombstone?

Some aforism that would describe my attitude towards the life. Im sure ppl will forget you after some decades anyway so i guess it wouldnt really matter tho.

So here we are, hope it was interesting to read. Aah im feeling so good right now, have such a comfortable position and just the right amount of blankets, stomach full of tasty yakisoba and an ice cream in my hand.. Even the fever seems to be gone. Feeling slightly sleepy and having great background music. Yesterday night i heard jason mraz has more good songs than just the radio hit 'im yours', so i gave it a try and what a great and happy surprise!! I'm totally in love with some of the songs so i'll hit you with one. This one even suits my situation perfectly<3 enjoy the rhythm and the jamming singing♪ im gonna sleep lol

Oh, recalling of while we used to drive and drive

Here and there, going nowhere

...

And it was time for all the wrong and lonely, lonesome reasons

...

But tonight we, sleep all, we sleep all day..

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~
