Mr Weeble has done it again

Remember those random videos about badgers, snakes and owls? Well, I found a video... and I would call this the king of randomness. Enjoy!

Little note to those who are interested!

This is Estonian movie about school bullying, very realistic, though quite depressing, masterpiece. Made by Ilmar Raag and 12 young amateur actors in 12 days! I don't think the trailer tells so much about it, but it has English subs :)

Good light in the end of the tunnel...

...which probably means the pile of things I've finally understood. Ain't that great?

It's been such a loooong time since the last time I wrote here. At some point I just couldn't find any time or energy to write, but now as the summer is about to be over, I felt like letting you know I'm still alive :)
I guess it has been the best summer in my life, I met so many great people, I made a tour around Estonia in 2 weeks with some awesome musicians and I also noticed how much better person I am after not seeing my family for some time. We get along so well now!

Now I decided to work on my "music carrier" more and the final solution is: competition in Latvia with 3 rounds! It means A LOT of work, but I want to do it. I can use many old pieces, but I also have to learn some new ones - for example, one modern Latvian piece with part for improvisation. I think that's the most horrible thing about it.

Anyway, I guess I'll write again soon!
Bye!

Xi'an, part 1

Since the short trip to Xi'an included so much, I'm going to have this thing in two parts. The day before we left we visited Finnish embassy and one other company. Then we ate in McDonald's (seriously, only a complete moron would think that when I've gone to China and been there for 3 days, I'm tired of Chinese food and want something I usually eat. A) I don't usually eat any junk food and B) why would I even go to China if I don't want to eat real Chinese food? Really, we had some morons in our group: adults.)
Well, anyway, I didn't complain about McDonald's and besides it was quite of adventure, as it soon turned up: one of our group members managed to throw his passport and visa into the rubbish bin of McDonald's. He didn't notice it until we got into the next stop, the Art Zone 798.
I loved the art zone so much! It's an old gun factory area which still looks pretty poor, but nowdays there are tiny shops selling handcrafts and young artists are creating different forms of art! I bought some playing cards, two notebooks with adorable pictures and cute Chinese stuffed pig for my little cousin :)
Then we went to eat in a real Chinese restaurant (thank god!) and this time we even got to taste the famous Beijing Roast Duck! Oh my &/%%#¢‰, it was so good! No wonder it's so famous...
Now we headed to the train station, and we were supposed to spend the whole night in there! I'll continue in the next posting...

Chinaland, part 3

Now, I'll continue with my experiences in China. In spotlight there is day number 3:
This day was spent in our friedship school in Beijing. I was super excited about going to school that would be really different from ours. Local students go to school for 7.30am, so I had to wake up at 6am. It wasn't even as hard as I expected it to be because it was sunny all the time and I felt I was full of energy.
At first our group (that I saw first time ever since we arrived to Beijing) met in a conference room and we got candies, drinks, fruits, strawberries etc. as we waited for our teachers to come. We had a short meeting there and after that we saw their weekly flag-raising ceremony and welcome ceremony, which was something I never had seen before; 2000 students standing in perfect lines. It was impressing. We went to see the english lessons in the school. Actually, I was quite surprised how similar they were to ours, although, I think the subjects were little different.
After 2 classes, we had a lunch break (it's about 2 hours in that school, wow! :D). Instead of spending the time to eating, we went to the school yard. Not so long after that, local student gathered around us and asked our emails, names and all kind of other questions. I was so surprised, because that's not something you would see in Finnish schools when you come to visit them. Everyone was asking us to be their friends!
The rest of the day we just spent the day at school until we went home. My host family and I went to shop to get me snacks for the next day's sight seeing and trainride to the city of Xi'an. (It's far enough to spend the whole night in train, but that's another story!) ;)
Pictures: Flag-raising and welcoming ceremony, classes and my new friends <3

Chinaland, part 2

My second day in Beijing was great, like all of them, to be honest. It was Sunday, so we had whole day to do the sightseeing. We visited Beijing zoo, which was so big that it took the whole first part of the day. Really, Finnish zoo is nothing compared to it. I saw so many animals I've never seen before, and the absolute highlight was the giant panda. There was 4 of them, one adult of the zoo, one baby panda of zoo, one olympic house panda and one asian games panda. I like the baby panda and the olympic one, which was eating bamboo very eagerly :) It was so cute! In evening, we went to a very fine restaurant and ate there super delicious Chinese food. I think everyone at the table was having fun watching me tasting all kind of new things :D I had fun, too.

Back from China xoxo

I know, there has been too long gap again between my writings, but I hope you'd forgive me. Now I really do have something to write about as I just returned to this depressing, closed and poor town from huge, brilliant, awesome and ... the best place I've ever been, China! I'm 100% sure that I've lived there in my former life because I've never felt so familiar and cosy ever before.
Since I got to experience so many things during these 10 days, I'll write always about one day/posting.

Day 1:
We left Finland on Friday afternoon at 6pm, and the flight took about 8 hours and 20 minutes. It's +5 h in China, so the flight was like short night, which I spent by watching movies since I just couldn't sleep on the plane. It was very bad "decicion", as I soon found out, because doing the sightseeing is not so fun when you're in half-coma due to lack of sleep. We arrived to China at 7am where we met the teachers of the friendship school. We went to the school and met our host families (and I must say that my family was the kindest ever!). During the same day we visited the Summer Palace, which was huge and really beautiful place to see. Only bad thing was that I was so tired in the end of the tour that I couldn't really see anything before my eyes and when we got into the car, I noticed that I couldn't stay up any longer. So the rest of the day was spent by taking nap and eating supper, which was Chinese, of course, and also very delicious. That was my first day in China in a nutshell ;)

I WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

True. I have some kind of mysterious flu right now which really pisses me off. First I couldn't walk even 20 metres without feeling like I've run hundreds of miles; I felt like my lungs were going to explode (you can just imagine what it was like to walk to school 2 km away!). Next victim was my throat, it hurted so much that it's impossible to describe it. And yesterday I had high fever. Tomorrow I'll have to go back to school, no matter what!
About the photos... well, I made one about very good books I like and two about my postcards :)
Yesterday we had a meeting about the China-thing, and we decided to make one day trip to another city, which is about as far from Beijing as Lapland is to us, so we're gonna spend two nights in train. We could choose soft bed in train, which costs 30 euros more than hard bed, including massage etc. It's quite funny, actually. I'm ok with the hard bed, but mom says I absolutely have to pay that 30 euroes and have a soft bed :D

I Love The Way The Sun Shines Outside

So, winter break... I've been waiting it so long time and now it's here. I don't have so many plans for this week, just Wednesday I'll say bye-bye, hair! and Thursday one of my friends is coming over for a night. And something I would never have expected to happen; mom said that when we're next time going to Estonia, I can dye my hair at hairdresser! For an explanation, mom usually doesn't accept hair dyeing. I only let one Estonian hairdresser cut and dye my hair since she's very good (I have some experiences with bad hairdressers, too! It causes goosebumps when I just think about it).

I want to bake something good today... I'd like to make waffles, but I already decided to make them on Thursday, so today I'll do something else.

Last Friday my Swedish teacher asked me what's my Swedish grade (I had different teacher in my last course.) I wasn't sure but I said it was 8... well, later I noticed anyway it was 9, but it doesn't matter right now. Anyway, when she heard it, she said that I'm in too low leveled group and she nearly called my classmates stupid o.o That didn't good for me to have this discuss, because I think the group I'm in isn't too bad, my grade is just too good. Well, that only means that I have to work harder now... π.π Good bye, lazyness! <- though I don't think I'd ever stop being lazy, it's just who I am.

Abnormally nice thursday...

...or something like that. Despite the fact that I still haven't got used to this inhuman temperature outside, I still had a lot of fun today. I ate a lot of candies, which ISN'T so good thing when you see the consequences. We had one corridor darkened and intensifyed with different special lamps (it was forbidden to pass that corridor to epileptics), and the best thing about it was its theme: MUSHROOMS!! They were hanging from the roof and shining because of uv-lights. The whole place was named "Mushroom forest".

Uh, yeah.

My dislike against the biology teacher just increased to the level 'hatred'. I really tried to endure and think nicely of him, but these times are over now. And I really do have a reason for it! I got worse grade that I expected and when the evil teacher gave our exam papers back, he purposely squinted at my paper as if he couldn't figure out my written name. What an asshole. I had written it very clearly! And when I went to get that paper, he looked at me like I was a louse or something. He should get a life.

Um... one more thing! I've been thinking about translating these texts into Finnish, too. What do you think, is it necessary or not? 'Cos I feel kinda outsider because I use only English... I DEMAND you to answer!

Ps! I'll get my new haircut next week >.< I still hesistate, but I think Ishoud do it. I'll get a new flat iron soon, anyway (as soon as I've hoovered the whole house....T.T)

But now, I'll stop here and go to watch the new episode of House md~~ Pictures next time!

Enough. Seriously.

I have about 3-5 drafts in blogger waiting to be published. I just can't finish them... all my inspiration has died.

Yesterday I went to movies with my friend to see a movie, Burlesque. And, to be honest, I liked it much more than I first thought. The synopsis obviously was poorly written as I thought before going to see the movie that it would suck only because I hate those "poor-pretty-girl-gets-lucky-with-talent", the Cinderella stories, in other words. But it wasn't only about that, so it didn't suck.

You know, I want money right now! I challenge you to figure out something as painfull as having money without permission to use it! You'll probably find it difficult... or maybe not. My wanna-have list keeps growing and I just can't get anything. You have no idea how much that sucks. But my jeans are quite worn out already, so mom has no other choice than to buy me new...>:3 bwahahahaa!

I think that being diplomatist in the future is quite for me (not because i like it). It's something I've got used to during this year. I have to go to school, but on the other hand, I also need to go to work to earn something for China-trip. And everyone blames me for having too many things to do. It's not my fault!

I've been thinking about what to do when my friend is coming here during my break. Last time when I was at their place, we watched movies to 3am, but I guess that's not so easy to carry out at our place. First, my people have a veeeeery bad habit to have a TV in the middle of the house, so that no one could sleep with it on. And plus, it's so embarassingly tiny TV!!! Two things I don't like to talk about: our TV and the amount of my sisters. Some people know why.

Tomorrow I'll get my exam results back! I'm quite worried about psychology, Swedish, Finnish and art. I didn't study for them at all. I didn't even try the night before exams. I tried on the exam mornings... so that's why I should be worried. But I think and hope I did well in biology, because I wanted to show that favoring teacher that I can do it! I didn't show any activity during the lessons, so I'm very sure that I'm not getting 10, but hopefully it's not 4 either... I've never got even 5, and I just can't get it when the teacher said 1/3 got 4 and failed... worst grade I've got in high school is 7 and that was for algebra, so I'm quite confused! o.o

Kisses and hugs,
-M.-H.

Mindrape

Here's some! I just can't stop watching it AAAAAAHHH SNAAAAAKE SNAAAAAAAKE! XD
Some people really do have some unique imagination... you know, maybe it's just me, but "badgers, badgers" start to sound a bit like "bacio, bacio, bacio" after a while.

I won't write anything smarter here right now since I'm so nauseous after eating some chewing gum which has yucky taste...

Adieu anyway and sincerely yours,
-Lunatic and "badger"-obsessed M.-H.

What do people expect me to be?

Today the last remnants of my faith in our local bus disappeared mysteriously... where did they go?? Here's my experience about it (some):

-They never come in time. They're late when I'm in hurry. Once it came too early. How do you know when you're supposed to be at the bus stop if they do things like that??

-They raise the price of the tickets always when you don't expect it. Especially when you have just the right amount of money you've got used to have. Stabbing in the back.

-When you want to pay with a card, their systems won't work, just like today. It's not my fault if they don't have proper items to take the money...

-...improvise

Yesterday I discovered '80s! <333
Sure I knew them before but now I also like them.

I'm more excited about going to China than ever before. I know the time now and it's in April. We're gonna be there for a bit more than week. We'll stay in Beijing but we'll visit Chinese countryside for one day and we would be staying there one night.
There's only minus in the whole thing: I could go to a competition in Italy and it would be later than the China trip. But I know I can't get both so I have to choose (actually, I've already chosen)... but maybe I still could... What a terrible situation π.π

I hate, I love

5 things that I love (random number):

- The thick cocoa pap at the bottom of cocoa cup. I don't know why people hate it, I love it :9

- Cry-your-eyes-out melodramas. I can't live without watching even one during a year.

- Good soundtracks

- Mr. Weebl's art... seriously!!

- Beatboxing



5 things that I hate:

- Action movies. James Bond. Lamest thing ever made. Sorry if you're a fan!

- Countless bad habits I have beginning with biting nails and finishing with doodleing insted of studying.

- Fake persons. I'm good at recognizing them and they piss me off!

- Coca Cola zero... what kind of asshole invented it?

- Racism. Just principle.

And now I'm terribly affraid of owls and beavers...

Owls

Oh, how much I love this video, it's so out of the mind!! >.< My greatest respect for mr. Weebl!

Moi, je ne mange pas ces macarons, ou je vais vomiter

My appetite went for a little walk and hasn't come back yet. And nobody understands it.
So, the title has finally meaning for once~

Yesterday I watched a Swedish movie or tv-series, I'm not so sure, but anyway it was very creepy, though also very interesting (except for that part when almost every guy turned up to be gay, neonatzi, senile or just very creepy... I actually felt very sorry for one boy who was beaten to death because he was gay...<-- by those neonatzis T.T)

I also started to feel sorry for earthworms. Their life just seems so pathetic, they live in a dust and end up in peoples hook. And they hurt. Some people would say I should stop smoking whatever it is, even though I don't even smoke anything. I'm natural. lol

Adieu for now!

Lollypop, marshmallow...

This is how this country looks like right now. All grey.

Exams are creepying more and more near without any noise so that you'll have check your calendar to be sure nasty things like them even exist. Seriously, I really tried to study biology for about... two minutes? I made it to the second page, after that my head started to ache because of things I didn't want to know. Life's so hard.

Yesterday we tried a new training video with my sister and we couldn't do it to the end. First, it was in German, so you can guess if we understood something or not. And besides, the whole video totally sucked. First there was a ten minutes lasting commercial for health shoes, where everybody in one neightbourhood was using them. Then there was one minute of rotating wrists and ankles and then again, 10 min commercial for the shoes. And then the whole story repeated. In that part we shut the whole thing off, we just didn't have the nerve to watch the same commercial for 148574986795057604723462753847056938687278558634 times again.

Lately I've been thinking about cutting my hair to something nice and different. That would mean something I'd probably regret later. I found a nice hairstyle that MAYBE would fit me, but I wouldn't dare to let anyone cut it as long as I don't have a flat iron. <-- I forgot it to one hotel and never got it back T.T

I'm happy right now :) Mommy said she would buy me a shirt and the markers for fabric. I've got an idea...

Gosh, how much I wish this eternal winter would go away already... it is beautiful, I know, everything looks like in some kind of fairytale, but I still prefer spring. I really do miss the blue sky, warm wind etc... ok, this is starting to sound cheesy.

Actually, all I think I need right now is day in somewhere else with different people, because the situation I have now causes serious madness. I think that would do good to other people too, if I wasn't all cranky all the time. I'd like to go to city without any money, just walk around and see some places and do something nice. But I guess that doesn't make any sense. It's just... only those people who live in place like this know what's the matter. I don't think any normal person wouldn't stay sane if he/she lived in a pathetic village like this for a long time. Or is it just me?

Now as this sounds really angsty, I think I should promise to try my best. At school, and everywhere else. I kinda miss things like they were before, but it's useless, so I should get used with it and stop whining. Didn't I say the same thing last time?

By the way, I set a target to myself: I must get at least 9 in French. It's good thing that we use the same books as last year, so I can show off a bit now :3
I should be worried about biology, because instead of being active during lessons as I intended first, I started to rebel against our preferential teacher by being quiet... that just might lower my chances to get a good grade~

Hey! Since there never seems to appear anything sane and normal in this blog, why won't you suggest what to write about or what, ok? This is a commandment!^^

Ps! Oh, how much I hate those ads and commercials with a terrible theme song in some websites. In our house it was completely quiet, until!

Creepy Wednesday Night

Okay, as usual, the title has nothing to do with this update, so please just ignore it. What the hell is my problem?

Anyway. I just stopped whining about how seldom I write in here, so I decided to do something about it. As you can see, there are few photos, taken (secretly) with dad's new camera =v= buahhahhahhaa... I added some contrast to the photos about me because I have really REALLY dull facial features. It's still me, I did nothing else to the pics, so I don't feel wrong about putting them here. And, most importantly, I love dad's new camera :D (which you can read as a promise that I'll use it in the future, too).

Even though this isn't a new thing and it's just because I've always forgotten to write about it, but I learned the basics of pen spinning. Mom says it's the waste of time and I know she's right at some level, but I can honestly say: I don't give a damn about it!
I love the pen spinning though it was extremely frustrating to learn it, but it was worth it.

Exam week is creeping somewhere near and I'm starting to feel that I should be studying... And I'm not... This year has passed so quickly so far, especially when I haven't done nothing but squealing about how the time is passing to slow...

Oh, and last Sunday something very unusual happened! Parents told us to pack and said we would be leaving aroun 5pm. And we would be staying wherever it was for two days. I was quite like huh? but then we finally arrived to terminal. We had a surprise-cruise in Stockholm and it was really coom :) liked it^^

Proposals and French studybook

Right now I feel like I'm in dead end... dunno.
This day hasn't been the best, all I've done is just hanging around the home and annoying other people. Honestly, is it really that I don't have anything better to do?

Parents were talking about some kind of surprise during Monday and Tuesday, dad even asked if it would be too much trouble to be absent from school on these days... actually it would. I mean, of course it would be nice to have some nice time, too, instead of staying in coma for the the first 2 hours at school (after that I usually get concious again, thank god!), but I've got my moral as weird as it sounds~

Another thing. Few months ago I was sure that I could only wish about getting a boyfriend, but now times are different (I'm not sure if it's good or bad thing)... even though I have a bf, who obviously means lot to me, I still get weird confessions etc. That's starting to freak me out! Ew.

Right now I feel like baking something, but I'm quite sure nobody likes that idea. Not that I'm that bad cook, I suppose it's just inequality and favoring under this roof. Sometimes I really can't help but wonder what kind of oafs I'm living with!

In fall, I saw a disasterous nightmare that seems to come true step by step. I don't want to tell about it here because that would make me look very mean and discriminating person, much enough not to be true. Let's just say it's about my pride and something REALLY is threatening it. What to do...

And the last but not least, I can't wait spring to come. I know this might sound very absurd to some persons, but to me it's not that big deal. I shouldn't whine anymore about people who make an enormous fuss about x'mas in October....

Ps! Photos are random like always, but I like them especially when I compare them to others I tried to take today. The last pic is about my dear friend who's called "Mio" or "Myo", whichever you prefer (the pronouncing is the same). Seriously, should I be worried about myself since I name my cactus "Vello" and my stuffed... animal? What is it anyway, certainly not animal? anyway, I name him "Mio"?

I'm experimenting

aaaaa.... yeah. That's me, I was testing my photoshop :D I know they're a bit weird, but try to endure. :D
Oh my goah, how much I like to be at school again (not that I missed school so much, more likely because the life at home started turning into hell. Last day I didn't speak to anyone (except to my little sis). Anyway, back to the school theme, my French classes started and I guess I couldn't like it more than I do now. It's so much funnier that in upper secondary, which sucked pretty much for the first 2 years.

Now! I feel I need to travel to somewhere I haven't been. I'd like to go to GB, France or Italy right now, but that's impossible. I must save money for something greater than I would ever had been able to dream of: I'm going to China!!! This spring, mommy gave me permission and signed the papers and here we go! I'm just too excited...
It is gonna be expensive, especially because I have to pay it myself, but I'll do it! No matter what lol :P
