Kodin Kuvalehti pt.2

every breakfast is a feast around this table

 My dear friend Iiris invited me to go to see our friend Kaisa's University group's theater play in Helsinki one Wednesday evening. What I really liked about the piece was that one was able to shout comments in between if you wanted the actors to play some scene different. For example: "Omstart the same in Japanese!" and the actors would try to go through the same dialogue in what they thought sounded like Japanese. Sometimes the plot couldn't go forward as the audience got wild with: "Omstart with more emotion!" "Omstart a more showy entrance!" "Omstart Darth Vader!" or "Omstart CSI!" Hilarious I tell you.

the scarf is a gift from Bayern if somebody is wondering about the pattern ;)

here you can see some of the houses my dad designed and built

 One saturday we took part in this Winterfestival at my old elementary School. It was of course very tiny and only about 60 people where there. Nevertheless I was happy to see my old classrooms and talk with my old teachers who still remember me. It felt good to tell them where I'm living now and what I'm doing with my life. I think it's not that usual for a girl from this tiny school and village to move to Germany after love and University studies all by herself.

my favourite guys getting ready for zombie apocalypse

One of the best nights in Finland! Me, Petteri, Ruben and Laura played Dead Nation, a Finnish zombie slaying game, for about 6-8 hours one Friday night with munchies. So much laugh, sweat of panic and strategy discussion. I failed a lot with my Blow-the-Shit-out-of-Every-Item-on-the-Screen-technique but I swear it was at least more ambitious than Petteri's running through the levels screaming like a girl while sacrafising his team mates hahaha. Naw it was kewl, seriously.

Some photos of Petteri's house as some of you were interested to know if all Finnish homes look like mine indoors. I really feel home in this address tho it's mainly because of his wonderful family. Is there anything more beatiful than to be treated like a family member in someone else's family?

I'll see you again one day Finland! Don't know when but I'll be back.

Kodin Kuvalehti

I still didn't show much pictures of my home in Finland right? It would have taken all my youth & health to upload anything there so now that I finally have time and energy, I decided to pull out those wintery scenes. One major photo splash coming up!

"Watch out for Snow" falling from the roofs

I know most of you get chills from these pictures but I truely am the biggest fan of Snow and to me these images are the prettiest sights on this planet. All of it so pure, soft, fluffy and freezing. Ahh.. heaven..

We went once to IKEA with mom & Iines

looking for something?

I was so worn out in the end

Big thanks and respect for my lovely Grandpa who took us ladies shopping (we don't own a car) one afternoon to IKEA. It's worth mentioning as he sat +2 hours in the Cafeteria waiting for us! Isn't he a darling? My grandpa always drives us around and has a helping hand when needed. I miss him at times.

My best buddy Petteri invited me to see Stand Up Comedy in Helsinki with him and his beautiful girlfriend Laura. I've never been to a live stand up show before, and I was surprised of how amazing it actually was! I haven't laughed like that in a long time, so I'm really happy about this experience and encourage anyone with a chance to try it out!

This is it for now but I still have one Finland photo post coming up!

Into the Sun

My exams are over! Woop woop. I feel like partying and lying in the sun like the rest of my fellow students but I have to get to work in 30 min instead :( Depending on how worn out I'll be after that, I might drop by the "Tapejam" in Schlosskeller later tonight. Thanks for the lovely Semester, hopefully this half a year will be just as victorious and fun!

Happy Days!

On 18th of March I got up and realised that it was my 22nd BIRTHDAY! After a short sentimental moment I got up and started to make myself and my stuffed-best-buddy-bunny Risto some on student standards royal breakfast. Music choice of the morning was Kimya Dawson.

Here we're enjoying some mushroom-paprika omelett and milk tea with fresh strawberries and a yellow plum! Admiring my colourful packages of course.

BA-BAAM World's Toughest Shit! The most perfect umbrella ever made! Direct from my all-time favourite shop in Hamburg, Sweet Suburbia! Thank you Josi, my bf's momma for this awesome present. I squeaked and jumped from joy. Literally. Did you ever see anything this NICE? Would you believe that the whole week has been sunny but on my birthday it rained all day heavy drops and even hailed in the evening! Boah.. the weather was totally on my side.

can't wait to plant these babies on my windowsill

These came out of the pretty yellow bag

and these darlings peeled out of the wrappings. The pepper spice is still a mystery tho..

As Benny was conveniently already placed at Starbucks, I also decided to pick up some cake and use the perfect excuse to take my umbrella for a walk in the rain.

My tummy was too full and my wallet too light for their heavy cakes but I did spend some thought revising for the upcoming exam in Art History. //Check out the ionian pillar in the back heeheehee..//

Gosh did I miss you guys ♥

Birthday cheese sandwich from Roberto!

my cake arrived from Supermarket at 8pm

After a hard days studying at the University I came home took a bath (1,5h) and found this cake on my desk! Made by my roomie Jan! How endearing is that! I'm reaaally happy with our small family-like coexistence. Oh and don't let the outside fool you: this choco creation is super delicious!

present's from my mom!

Overall I had a super nice birthday even if I spent it at the University studying. I am so happy and grateful after receiving so many phone calls, SMS and Facebook greetings that it brought me to tears once again. These 22 years have been fun, exciting and truthfully worth every single day!
