Head start to the weekend and getting ready for a night out

Yesterday I went out with my friends. It was fun to just let go after a long time. And now I got all the energy to concentrate on more important stuff for at least a month. I'm not really a fan of going to clubs and all. It just feels like I'm grown too old for that, though I'm not even 21 :D. But it feels like that's how it goes in Finland for many people. We start going to clubs when we're 18 and in couple of years you don't miss and need that kind of a fun anymore and you start craving for just a normal girls night outs, when you just watch a movie, maybe drink a glass of champagne, and do nothing particular really.

I decided to wear my new glasses. I just love the way I can wear pink lipstick with them and not look too put together. It looks cute rather than sexy, and really I'm not a big fan of the latter look. Really I've been wearing those new glasses all the time now :D. Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll start missing the old ones again. And look at those fringe! They've really grown out pretty fast. I'm thinking I'll cut the fringe back when I'm 30 and I want to look like a 15 year old again. But right now I like looking like my own age.

It's so weird that my week end started already! It just ended in Tuesday and now I'm back on relaxing mode :D. There should be weeks like these more often. Though I didn't have time to work out more than once this week. I wasn't allowed to work out on Monday and Tuesday because of that doctor's appointment and yesterday I just didn't find any time and today there's no point on working out since I've been drinking yesterday. It's weird how fast you get hooked on working out. I remember last year I was so lazy and didn't do anything ever really, but now, after a month being active, if I cannot work out for a day or two, I get so frustrated. Even my laziest friend (Eve) who really hates working out is hooked on it now:D. So if she love working out, then any one can.

Live the life you love, Love the life you live

Travelling the world- In Sarajevo

Meeting random people- making the best choices  

Spending time with your family- having a random boat trip 

Doing the silly things with your friends 

Enjoying the little things- feeling the fresh and cooling grass on your skin 

Making something special and different every day - Eating B&J on the 6th floor

Accomplishing something in your life! 

 Meeting those who are not there everyday

 Having a friend who does the silly things with you...:D

 Enjoying the moments and feeling like home

 Feeling the amount of happiness, excitement, love, joy... every positive feeling at the same time and giggling the entire time!

Having those friends who are like a rock to you, the childhood ones. 

 Doing something the most people assume impossible, feeling the endorphine running through you

 Doing something that you love- having a day off

I´ve decided to put those words on my wall to remind me of the pretty little things in my life every single day. I try to make everyday special. It can be done by decorating my meals, lighting up candles, painting, going for a run, watching a Disney movie, playing the guitar, getting and giving a warm hug... Making special days can be that easy but it can feel like it´s impossible thing to do on some days. Especially on those when you are in such a hurry and all obligations are knocking on the door, on days you look at the mirror and see an ugly person or on days you feel like betrayed or sad. That´s why I have my motivation-good thoughts- calendar. I just love it. I can write poems, draw pictures, make it colorful, put motivating and good thoughts in it, write at least one positive thing in it during a day or just use it as my diary. And trust me I do it every day. It´s a well deserved moment for myself. If you are not willing to change things, grab the bad luck by it's horns, go through your problems or do something for a better future you won´t get it. It's just that simple. No  whining nor not believing in yourself is going to bring you any closer to the happiness. Write at least one positive thing to a paper every single day, put those little papers in a "happy-jar" and wait... Your way of seeing the world will differ and you will change- your brain will change- your life will change.

Days can be special even by planning something great for them. I love those days that don´t feel like everyday pampering but sometimes your day can be special only because you can and know how to love. I do love this day and the moments that have led into this. Without those special moments non of this would be  possible and that's something I would love to write not only on my walls but also across the road signs, buildings walls, school boards... That´s love and it makes me happy.

New glasses!

My three day weekend brake somehow expanded to five days. I had the most awful experience at the hospital today. I had intestine viewing (is that the right term?) and for that I had to drink 5 liters the most disgusting drink that empties intestines. I have to say that I didn't sleep at all last night because of that. And I had to wake up at 5 Am to drive back in Jyväskylä for my doctors appointment, which was at 8 o'clock. Luckily my dad came with me so I could just try to sleep in car, though, surprise, surprise, I didn't get any sleep. Well I just hope that you people never have to do that intestine viewing, since it hurts like hell! Like honestly, I was screaming of how much it hurt. It's something I never wish to have to do again. I'd maybe rather die or something :D.

After my doctors appointment me and my dad went to get some coffee and then dad bought me some watercolor pencils that I have been testing this whole evening. I just love working with them! I didn't even realize how much I've missed painting and drawing. I'll put the final version of my painting here when I finish it, but there's something I got done today. 

And I got my new glasses today! I ordered them from Lensway.fi. You get -50% discount of your glasses when you order them before valentines day! I think I'm now hooked on ordering glasses on internet :D. It's so much cheaper and easier like that. Of course there's a chance that the glasses won't fit, but is there something to lose? You don't have to pay for posting and packing costs, so basically you don't pay anything if you don't want to keep them. 

Tadaadadaa, I just love those frames :D Though they are kind of a nerdy, but the color is just lovely!

Life

I´m so happy today. Saturday was simply perfect and I loved everything about it! Even waking up at 7 am felt okay! After we had arrived back to the city I felt this heavy tiredness. I tried not to take a nap because it has always been against my habits. I felt so tangled that I had to go to my bed and sleep it off. When I woke up I thought it was Monday... I was still a bit tangled but at least I wasn't that tired anymore! Note to myself- sleep when you feel like like that- the rest of the evening will be much better that way! I´m so not used to early mornings... I don´t want Tuesday and Wednesday to come because I will have to be at school for 9 hours... :/ I think that I have to make meals and hot chocolate-coffee a day before and take them with me! I just can´t survive if I´m tired and hungry all the time... especially when I have to be at the Uni and lab! I won´t be able to go to the gym either... I hate that. :( At least I can go running after a long day- that will certainly cheer me up! :)

I saw my friend Sanni and other girls on Sunday. It was so nice to catch up with her and notice that so many nice and happy things had happened to her- it made me really happy. At the same time I started to think about the town I´m living in and the cruel fact that almost everyone that I love lives in other town... It's just not nice. I really want to move away from Kuopio... I want to be able to meet my friends more often. This situation feels just like a big joke right now. :( I would love to have at least one family member near me.

Perfect Weekend

I would like to adopt one of these little puppies, they are just three days old and so cute and tiny! - Herminica

This weekend has just been so perfect so far. I came  to Mikkeli in Thursday evening and after a long time I could just relax on the sofa and not do anything. It was a perfect way to start a wonderful weekend! -Evi

We all woke up very early on Friday morning. Herminica headed to the gym (It was my leg-butt-core day! - H), Evi did her workout at home, our little sister studied and parents went to work.  After that Evi went to pick a gift voucher that Herminica had given her to visit a local gym. Now she has an opportunity to try that gym for a week for free :). 

 Evi and Eve had to go to rent snowshoes for this weekend for Evi, Eve and Sabi from some sort of a rental company. For some inconceivable reason, there was no one at the rental office when they arrived there, though it was supposed to be open for another 30 minutes. So we didn't get those shoes :(. It's a feed back - time to that company! It's not fair that workers get off work 30 minutes earlier than they are supposed to.

Well, the second plan was to get skis! Luckily we all had them from our primary school -times. We went to get skis and then headed back to Eve's place. Her dog had given birth to four adorable puppies few days ago and we just couldn't wait to see them! In two weeks their eyes are going to open and we cannot wait for that either :D. Right now they are quite boring but still so cute (I wouldn't say that they are boring! Rather calming! :D - H ). They are mix of a bichon havanais and pomeranian and we have no idea how they are going to turn out but small and cute for sure!

Nope we were not kidding! At 8 am it was time to jump on the skis! - H

E and Sabina, having some rest!

Ain't this the move what athletes do after their perform? -H

The feeling after we had arrived! 

A time for not-so-serious snow angels!

At this point it lookes like we weren´t getting anything to eat!

...and then it was time to celebrate a fire!

Someone was too thrilled about everything...  First the puppies and then this... :D

...and then there was one girl who was more thrilled about food than anything else! :D Look at those shiny and hungry eyes! -H

What did I say? :D - H

Today has just been so grate! We woke up early, before 7 Am, and went skiing to our friends, Eve's, cottage :D ! We had to drive for an hour first and then ski across a lake to get there. Though it didn't probably look like skiing at all, since the snow was so thick and our legs sank on every step, so it just looked like we were "swimming" with our skis on :D.

We made a fire to the fireplace and just chilled in the cottage for the whole day. We fried some sausages and meatballs in the fireplace and also ate some shrove buns and marshmallows for a dessert. The whole day was just so perfect. The only way to forget your work and school is to go to the country, nothing vanishes the stress better than that! Right before we had to start getting back home Evi just got so tired that she almost fell asleep in there.

It was just so calming and warm to sit in front of the fireplace and not think about anything important. I wish I could get days like this more often. I could make the similar trip to my friends cottage every week! Though we are all so tired now that H had to get a nap and me and my little sister are just about to fall asleep here at the sofa. -Evi

Hope you all have a relaxed and calming weekend everyone! Or at least take the whole Sunday to yourself! We have all earned not to do anything more important than cherishing ourselves every once in a while :). 

- Evi and Herminica

Ps. Here's the proof that me and H really have the similar taste in everything :D... -Evi

---and it doesn't end here... :D -H
