25.2.2015 Life is for the living so respect it

I have a respect to many people and many kind of people but now I want to bring up some. Or better say some things that have lately touched and made me understand what should respect and appreciate.

I cannot tell what's the most important so here is no orders of importance.

I have tried to love and live with person from completely different place, country, religion, culture,... It works pretty well but finally I found it too difficult. In this area where I live here is a lovely blog writer who has a husband from Ghana and they have a super cute daughter. My parents and grandparents also know her and her family and I really appreciate her selection and wish all the best for this multicultural family.

I appreciate my own parents, for sure. Nowadays I have also seen things why I respect other mums and dads and things why I really appreciate my own parents even more than before...

Everything in a sport area. Everything from school to Olympics. As an athlete you can make a history but as a teacher you can make youngsters healthier and more keen into about sport. Or on the other way, how ever you do your job on both examples. And everything between and out of these examples are important if we are talking about sport, life and lifestyle.

Survived serious disease ones or even many times and still, or just because, has a positive attitude for a life. Appreciate people who are right now trying to survive with own or close person's disease, appreciate parents who are worry about their children's disease and losing child but anyway stay strong, appreciate children who are worry about their parents' disease and losing his/her but anyway stay strong.

Now I appreciate it more that here is no fighting at home. And wish that no one should feel afraid or bad at home. Appreciate people who have survived hard relationship. Hopefully have found and will always find good one. Hope that families don't have to break, no matter what's the reason.

Appreciate that I'm, my family is, my loveones are alive. This week has shown how fast and without any warning everything can change.

"Don't you cry for the lost

Smile for the living

Get what you need and give what you're given

Life's for the living so live it

Or you're better off dead"

Saturday 21.2.2015 Prom dances

Just before a winter holiday we enjoyed high school's second graders' proms. Some of my friends danced this year. Girls had so so beautiful dresses, I loved all. And guys were really handsome. And they danced really beautifully.

I danced proms last year and I have to say it was the best think at high school. Absolutely! It was a real princess day for girls at least.

Wanhat 2015 is gone but girls who are going to dance next year will be interest in to know things they should know. Many bloggers share tips but I wish to tell something also. 

Proms 2015

Dress

Dresses might be very expencive, even 700 €! But you don't have to use so much money and you still can find the dress. I made my stress by myself so if you can it is really good idea. Your dress is unique, it looks just like you want it looks like, you can chooce color, style, material and decoration. If you don't want to do your dress then you can buy it (you can find dress much cheaper than 700 €!) or rent from shop or friend. Many girls who are going to dance 2016 maybe have some ideas what kind of dress she wants. If no, don't worry! Girls should go to shops, ask help and test different dresses. It is the best way to find your dream dress.

Hairs

If you, your friend, mother, some of your relatives,... can make your hairstyle you could save time, money, your nerves and your hairstyle is just what you want. If you want that hairdresser do your hairstyle you should make an appointment early enought. Maybe you have to buy some stuffs before you meet your hairdresser. And ask hairdresser to do test hairstyle so you can be sure I get what you want. Ask hairdressers price before the day. If you don't have to take your hairstyle day before don't do so! You need all possible sleep and I am sure nobody can sleep very well with big hairstyle. It is smaller bad to wake up earlier.

Proms 2015

Makeup

Again if you can do it or your friend can do it you can save money. And often your makeup looks like more your own. If you want that specialist do it you should make an appointment early enought. If you want make your morning easier I recommend specialist's fake lashes.

Nails

If you don't want use too much money you can make your nails by yourself. I think it looks very good if you use white, invisible or same color as your dress nailpolish and maybe some glitter nailpolish as well. And audience can't see difference between 5€ nails and 50€ nails but your wallet feel it.

Proms 2015

Shoes 

Very important! Day is very long and with unfit shoes it will be even longer. I had pretty high heels but it was ok because shoes were very good and fit perfectly. I think you can chooce if you want use hills or flat shoes but of you are really short I prefer at least little hills. But please, you have to can walk and dance with hills or it is just embarrassing. And anyway you should use your shoes at home and on dancing lessons so you can be sure that your shoes fit well. That's why it might be clever to use older shoes if possible.

Proms 2015

Tights

I prefer using tights but you have to test your shoes, which one is better, with or without tights? Tights are quite invisible but test it also before prom day.

Underwear

Test your underwear with dress! You don't want to get any troubles like everybody can see your bra or worse they see more. If possible use bra because it just looks much better. Believe it, please! And remember day is long so underwears should be comfortable. Neutral color is the most clever.

My style, proms 2014

Jewellery

Don't take too big or heavy ones. Remember that you can use old ones.

Remember that you fon't have to waste all of your money! Day will be wonderful anyway.

The most important tip is enjoy! Day will be so nice so relax and enjoy it!

Monday 16.2.2015 To Levi day two

We woke up 7am and went to hotel's breakfast. It wasn't so awesome but good enought and even gluten-free was pretty good. Youghurt with lingonberries and pineapple, gluten-free bread with butter, salad and cucumber. 

After breakfast we continued our trip. Next stop was Rovaniemi and Santa Claus' Village ( http://www.santaclausvillage.info ). There we took a meal and checked some souvenirs shops.

Finally we reach to Levi and found our cottage. I like this cottage, nice and little and we have everything we need. Bed rooms, sauna, kitchen, living room,... 

We have to walk about 50 m skiing and if we want to snowboard we take a car. Today me and my friend skiing about 8 km. Legs weren't ok but it was nice any way. 

Now, good night!

Happy Valentine's day everybody! 

On the morning I woke up 8.30 and after breakfast we continued baking.

2pm relatives came, we ate, "boys" played rally games and I played with my cousins who are 8 and 10 years old now.

In the evening I packed my bags to Levi and my love came. I will miss him a lot so it was really good to spend time together and watch a movie.

How was your Valentine's day? I hope everybody had a nice day!

Friday 13.2.2015 Proms, baking, teaching,...

On the morning, again after 4 hours sleep, I went to school to teach. It was my first time as a teacher but after final tests I will go to teach more. Today I was girl's sport teacher because my mum took care of prom dancers. We had floorball lesson and it went pretty good.

After school and lunch I tried to ask English listening test's and Finnish test's grades. I didn't find Finnish teacher but English was really good!

Then went to home and baked some cake. My little brother had his 15th birthday this week and tomorrow some of our relatives will come to celebrate it.

In the evening I went to give students skis and 6pm went to school to see prom dances. They danced well and oh my god girls had so so beautiful dresses! I will write a post about proms later.

My cousin stayed for sleepover.

And all students in this area will have a winter holiday next week so I am going to Levi with my friend and her parents. Do you have a holiday next week? Any plans?

Thursday 12.2.2015 Abi part two

After 4 hours sleep I went to school 7.30am. Messed up school and younger students. 

Song special songs, threw candies to younger students and drove around the town by truck.

In the evening some students went to Onsanpirtti talk, drink, laught and eat some snacks. After midnight me and my friend went to home. Both were pretty tired because we hadn't sleep enought during a last few days.

When I reach home I started chat with my love so it was almost 4am again when I closed my eyes and falled asleep right away. During holiday or party time this wouldn't usually be a problem but this time it was. And the reason, I'm going to school tomorrow to teach because sport teacher, my mum, is going to take care of prom dancers.

Wednesday 11.2.2015 Abi part one

There have been a lot of things so now I thought to tell about abi's, I mean third grader's, happening and parties. 

High school second graders kicked third graders off from school. They gave us Greek cloaks. 

First we take some pizza, salad and drinks.

There were for example Coca-Cola drinking and chocolate eating competition. 

They also gave titles for us. I got sport freak. 

After second grader's party we messed up our school.

In the evening we went to bar Panama Joe to Abiklubi party. There were super long queue and a lot of third graders from Rauma and Eurajoki. Nice party with other students. 2am I drove to home with friends and 2.30am went to bed.

Monday 2.2.2015 Easy like Monday morning

Hello!

Now upper secondary school's third graders' school is some how different than younger students. Right now we are having test week but most of us don't have so much tests. I had English tests on Thursday and will have Finnish tests today and tomorrow. And on Thursday we will have Finnish final test! I stress it too much now...

Weekend gave a nice little break but I had to read as well. On Friday morning I went to my love's place but read in the evening. And on Saturday I also read. But tried to run also. Thank god my love came sleep over in the evening and on Sunday we went to my gradmum's sister's 60th birthday party. In the evening I tried to read a bit more Finnish but it was so hopeless...

Now I'm at school and waiting for our Finnish test to start. About half of the students didn't know that our test will start 9.30 not 8.30 like usually so now we are waiting here...

Hopefully you had better Monday morning!
