Oriflame

So, the big news (that I was suppose to tell you about yesterday) was that my sponsor called me and said that she will pay for everything and I just have to go with her to an Oriflame gathering in Tallinn. Anyone would say "Hell yeah!" but Natsumi is rather "I don't know". Why? Because I don't like when people treat me something. Maybe because I'm too independent to let anyone do anything for me..but this time I said yes and I don't regret it one bit.

Although, I would have liked to sleep longer. My morning today started at 5AM. And to be honest (& that might sound weird) it's easier to wake up at 5AM than it is on 6AM. Don't ask why! XD I just have that feeling.

When I was waiting in the bus station, a relative walked by or rode by and I just couldn't recognize him XD He war riding his BMX and was like "Hay!" and I waved and when he passed me I was like. "Oh EO!" XD and I found an artist tonight and he looked just like that relative but he's at least 10 years older.

I don't know how but EO looks just like Korean. He is my stepsister's son basically and she isn't Korean and neither is her ex-husband (I think XD). I haven't really met the guy but it's Estonia, so it's very unlikely that Korean actually lives here.

Anyways, moving on. I think I have a bit of motion sickness. When we went to Tallinn by bus, I almost threw up. I had that feeling but I kept drinking water in small sips and it passed. THANK GOD! I haven't thrown up for year, so I'm a bit afraid of it.

When we finally arrived in the capital of Estonia, we took a cab and drove off to a training where we learned how to get more consultants and how we should talk to people and then we have to, on September 9, we have to go on the streets. We all must have matching uniforms, Oriflame t-shirts and white pants/skirts. I'll be wearing ripped jeans XD I have another pair of white pants too but if they get wet, they will be see through. So, no thank you.

What I really like was that all the woman there were so positive and open in it. They spoke out loud, commented, tried to crack jokes and such. But when I entered the room there was like perfume cloud. Okay, I get it, they all work in a cosmetics company. And they all were quite (very) tanned. I'm sure that I was the few who were whiter.

After that we got a small lunch. I got a bag in the entrance way. There was a bottle of spring water, a sandwich that was cut into a triangle, a muffin and a moisten tissue. Yuki would have loved the last one, it was with lemon smell. And she "loves" lemons XD I didn't eat any of it, just stuffed it into my bag. I wasn't really hungry. I had a pack of instant noodles at 6AM and after the motion sickness, I didn't really want to eat lunch at 12.

The event itself was...eventful XD It was nice and the crowd was loving it. A lot of flowers were given out and I learned that Oriflame was born on the same year as my mom and now there is a orchid named Oriflame or something similar - basically Oriflame's own orchid. And it was beautiful too.

I got to see Marko Reikop live (he's a famous host in Estonia and also a somebody in journalism) and there was a men's choir and folk dancers. Oh, and also little kids singing ^^ Kioptaaa!!

After that I ate something (it ended after 4PM).

I know it's not much but that was all I could bare. After that we just stood in front of the house and my sponsor chatted with her grandchild.

Oh, I forgot to talk about the house we were in. It was magnificent. It was so beautiful. I didn't have much time to photograph it but in the next post I'll post pictures from the Oriflame day.

The ride back I learned more about my sponsor and we discussed schools and exams etc - I had a really nice talk with her. She is nice and smart and we get each other. Oh, and I ate the muffin and the sandwich in the bus and fortunately I didn't get motion sickness again. Closer to Viljandi, I listened to the music and stared at the clouds and listened to Helios. It felt really peaceful and like I wasn't driving anywhere. Like time had just stopped and I was lying on a green field under a tree.

I wish that time just stopped for a while. Everything has moved so fast and it seems to me that I can't even catch my breath. (I'm getting more poetic in every line I write - clearly I have to go to bed)

When I got home, I had dinner with my parents, chatted with Yuki a little, exercised and stayed on Twitter. I found a post where there was Music Banks performances and chicks clearly dominated. AWFUL! Okay, I'll admit there were some good ones too.

Like this one. I think the song is really catchy and something I could listen to.

One of the few boy bands there. I think it has some kind of...I wanted to say GD&TOP's feeling to it but I think it really doesn't. I don'r know what does it reminds me of. I think it has that American feeling to it. The video is weird though but the song itself isn't that bad ^^

I like this one too. It's a sweet song with out that über cute feeling to it. Something calmer after X-Cross. This was the first time I heard of her, although she was debuted in 2009.

This one reminds me of 4Minute but it pretty good too. Something to keep an eye on.

And this here will be a shocker. I have never been in love with them. I would categorize them with Teen Top because I think they debuted on the same time too (I'm just guessing) but in my eyes, after Teen Top's "Don't Spray Perfume (something like that)", this band is better. And this song is really catchy (maybe because of that remix). I think you all have heard of them (unless you are a novice among Korean pop), this is INFINITE!

I think that was all I wanted to say today but I might be forgetting something. Just excuse me this time. I'm really tired and my bed is waiting for me.

XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^

PS. TT, you were right - Kimet Marianne tastes great :)
