Tuesday 30.12.2014 Last days before new year
Yesterday to Turku
Winter is really here and it was damn cold day yesterday. But so beautiful weather with sunshine. In fact sunshine was very beautiful but made driving somehow difficult for a short girl. I didn't have so much things to buy so I was bored pretty soon. So when mummy continued shopping at the shopping mall called Mylly I went to car centers with daddy and brother.
Today to Pori
Some shoppings...
I planned to spend it with cousins but other got a bad flu. So I'm going to spend it with my friend.

Sunday 28.12.2014 One more christmas and "snowboarding"
Hi guys, how was your christmas?
I spent yesterday at grandparent's place with mum, dad, bro, uncle, his wife and grandparents. Ate christmas food, shared presents, watched TV and spent time together.
Every year same thing. Have to test snowboard inside before snowboarding outside.
Today I went to snowboard with my friend to Ellivuori. Or we planned so but...
First we failed and lost a bit but so what? We have whole day. When we reach to Ellivuori we saw, realized and found on internet that it wasn't open! Damn and what now? My phone had less than 30% battery but I tried to check other skiing centers. None was open yet. I didn't have power in my phone anymore so I used my friend's phone to call my boyfriend to ask about kebab restaurant (and woke up him). We took meal and they charged my phone, got at least 40% again. Then we drove to Lappi and Sammallahdenmäki ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammallahdenmäki ). Like you can read it's culture place but we found nice little road with nice little hill and snowboarded there, wuhuu! It was so cool! Then we drove a bit around Eurajoki before going to home.
You need heating? No no no, it's only minus 10 degrees
Such a perfect holiday day!

25.12.2014 Yesterday's christmas presents
How your christmas day has been?
I was running with mum on the morning. Running was nice and weather so lovely. Pretty cold air felt a bit bad in throat but soon it was ok. Today was also the first day we could ski here on this winter.
Later I went to grandad's place for christmas meal with my family. And whole family talked and got christmas greeting from the Gambia from our friend.
It has been quite cold day, minus 13 degrees, here. And really beautiful day with snow and sun. Perfect christmas weather.
Then yesterday's presents...

Such busy but nice day. I went to school for a lunch and then we practised our Christmas Gospel, made presents for feast, made raffle tickets. And yea I studied English at least 30 minutes during whole day...
After school I went to Rauma with my friend (and brother). I have to say that I am really so lucky to have so awesome, and perfect size, brother. He really helped me with christmas presents and made me laught so hard today. When he went back to home with daddy we girls continued shopping. Bought some christmas presents, tomorrow's and Friday's party stuffs and took a meal at Amarillo.
My phone operator had bad problems yesterday and some problems today also so my phone said "No Service" a few hours! Nice to try to check about 50 messages when phone came to life again...
In the evening I paid parents christmas present and chatted with friends. I cannot wait for christmas, having time with relatives, having time (to sleep), having holiday, sharing presents, eating christmas food and chocolate with my bottomless tummy,... But now I wanna go to sleep!
How was your day guys? Are you already exciting about christmas like I am? Have you bought christmas presents?

Water sport after long break. We had our sport lesson at swimming gall abd it was really nice, I love water.
And I chatted with "Makoilalubamalu", she is Finnish lady who helps poor people in the Gambia and works for their best here in Finland. Maybe I can be a little part of her business and make one of my dreams true and same time really helps people who really needs help.

Thursday 11.12.2014 Stay strong and positive, christmas is coming!
Hi guys!
"Only 7 days at school before christmas holiday!". Yep that's how to write it on positive way. But I know most of us at school or work think on other way. On not so super positive way. In fact on pretty negative way. "More than a week before holiday and almost two weeks before christmas! I will have so many tests before holiday! And so much to do! OMG I won't survive this semester or this year!".
But hey, you will... You will survive this week, you will survive next week, you will survive your tests and works, you will survive christmas and what ever you are afraid or worry about. You will survive!
Now it's the time of year to talk and think about surviving, on deeper and lighter way.
We are unhappy because: have to be at school, have to study, have to work, don't have free time, too long time before christmas, I'm tired, I have headache, it is dark outside, there isn't snow, I'm bored,...
First thing that comes to my mind is the Gambia. Even my contacts aren't so tight anymore I still have good friends there and still can know how's living there. And what I will always have is those memories! I saw a lot of poor people, kids. Too skinny, sick, weak and living in danger. Kids were happy if they got some food, rise, or could go to school. They couldn't dream about presents like we do here in Finland. Their clothes aren't cool and clean, no... It's good if they have even shoes. It's hard for them to stay positive but on many time they do so, they don't wanna show how bad all things are, maybe they don't know about all those luxury things we have but something they know.
Here in homely Finland we also have problems. At least for me it is a bit hard to see many of those problems here because I see most of themselves much smaller than problems abroad. But like I said even here in our own town we have poor kids.
And what makes me really think when I'm not happy about my life is that I'm alive. In the Gambia I saw people who maybe don't have many years, moths, weeks or days left. Two of my Gambian friends got malary and I was really worry about it. And here in Finland we also have people who are fighting for their life. So be happy your heart beats, you can breath, your brains work, you can see, you can feel and you are alive!
Think of those people who are fighting to stay alive, start thinking your own life on positive way, stay strong, you really have only a few days left at school, and keep up all happiness!
"Even big obstacles may exceed if only wants enought!"
Have a nice christmas time guys,
stay positive,

Monday 8.12.2014 Weekend pictures
Friday
Caramel cake and cup of tea during the theater's interval.
I was watching theater called "And then there was no one". It based to Agatha Christie's book "Ten little niggas" or nowadays the name of the book is "And then there was no one". I have read book and I really liked it. But I think theater wasn't so good. But it wasn't bad!
Saturday
8 pm I went to my friend's place again. She and I drove to Pori and took boys to bar.
Sunday
Christmas tree hunting! And I was "pretty" bored. And really freezing...
How was your weekend?
