Blogger isn't working with me..or it has something to do with the internet here. Anyways, I made couple of videos about my dorm and they just refuse to upload.
I have started this post...oh I don't know, ten times and since I'm putting a video here to upload it won't be saved into drafts -.-
Anyways, my first official school week has ended and now it's finally weekend I get to sleep.
Dorm life is totally different! I think for the past week I have played cards every night with Estonians (we don't get along with Finnish people because of that language barrier) and laughed until we had stomach cramps and cried XDD I'm having fun, so to say XD
The second and third year ones are very welcoming with the newcomer such as me, Gerda, Kristi and Anti. They invite us to go along and come and play cards with us and so on.
The only bad thing is that I live in a different house then them. Okay, some ways I'm lucky but I break curfew every night because of that...
I honestly thought that I will be sitting at the dorm all day long XDD
My sleep is too good here. Every night I get to bed after one or so and it's so hard to get up at six. Luckily there are only two days where I have to do that.
Monday: 9.55 - 13.55
Tuesday: 12.15 (if I want lunch then a little earlier) - 13.55
Wednesday: 8.30 (for Finnish lessons), but the real deal 12.15-13.55 Thursday: 12.15 - 14.55
Friday: 8.00 - 13.00 the longest day I have
And then comes the weekend ^.^
I don't even get me started with the language. That's one of the other bad things about this whole thing. The first two days I just sat there and looked good because I didn't understand much they said. I know how the weekdays are but the thing I don't get is what happens then. It's really frustrating but Kersti noticed today that I'm keeping a positive mind and at least try but yeah that trying gave me an awful headache on the first day. My brain was working on hyper drive! XD
My customer service teacher is great. I talked to her and now she translates every slide after talking about it in Finnish. Of course there is a shorter summary for me but it's better that nothing and today I really learned some new things :D So, I'm having a good day.
For the first few days the weather was pretty cold but now it's like summer just begun. In the mornings the temperature is pretty low but when I walk home form school it's burning up! Awful!
It's crazy how much money I have spend. I really hate to go shopping here...okay not really hate but the prices are higher than in Estonia...
So, I haven’t totally forgotten my blog (AGAIN), I haven’t
just gotten any WIFI. Ever since Monday I have been travelling in Estonia and
now, finally, on Friday, I’m home ^.^
So, on Monday afternoon (somewhere around 12), I met up
with...well I was suppose to meet up with MAÜ and LO but MAÜ desided to come
almost an hour later, so me and LO made a small visit to the libarary, just sat
and flipped though some magazines and just caught up.
When MAÜ finally joined us, we went to Aida cafee and talked
for a while.
Me :)!
That's MAÜ in the left and LO in the right ^.^
I ordered a green salad with chiken (MAÜ had the same) and a
Lattee. It tasted good, so I was satified – money spent good ^.^
mmm...delicious ^.^
mouth-watering...
MAÜ finally gave us presents what were meant after
graduation, but she added something she bought from Barcelona. We both got a
lollipop, some candy and some chocolate covered raisins and a pair of earrings.
I got REALLY colorful ones,which I absolutely love, and LO got some modest
ones. MAÜ said that she choose them according to our personality XDD
My little pink box and in the background there is LO's (+ you can see LO's lunch XDD)
And the insides - there is a quote from "The Picture of Dorian Grey" , MAÜ knows me so well (for those who don't know, it's my favorite book ^.^)
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Later we went to my place where I half packed my bag and
half entertained the guests. LO constantly told that they should get a move on
but to me they weren’t a bother and MAÜ felt rather comfortable also but
somewhere around 4PM they left and me and my parent drove off to Tartu, our first
stop.
In Tartu there lives my greataunt’s daughter KK (mother’s
side). I haven’t seen her since my 9th grade graduation (I bought the dress in
Tartu). I didn’t knew much about her and her family, so I did a little
research.
She has a daughter and 2 sons (that much I knew XD). The
eldest is the the daughter and she is 23 and goes to school in Viljandi. She is
so close and still I haven’t seen her for years...maybe 10. The oldest son is
two years older that I am, 21, and restores furniture and the youngest is only
3,5 years old. The boys still live with her. KK herself is as old as my mom,
so it’s rather easy to remember, and she is a great woman - so cheerful and
smart and seems like she really cares ^.^ We talked about about our family
reunion. Last time I saw the whole family (my mom’s grandpa’s family) was when
I was about 9 or so. So, it has been about 10 years (again).
My grandpa had 5 brothers and a sister (the youngest of the
family) but only two of 7 siblings are alive (1 sister and 1 brother, but not my
grandpa) but there is this whole generation I’m unaware of. Of course, I know
my mother’s siblings, my aunt and my uncle + the eldest son’s only daughter LZ
+ the sister’s daughter KK + one of the brother’s son AR, and that’s about it.
As for other 6, I only know the name and MAYBE occupation. Also, I’m completely
unaware of my generation.
And why I want to know/see all of them?
Well, I want to recognize my relative when I rant into
her/him and also it’s nice to know who your family is. Of couse I won’t start
talking to them every single time but at least I’m in the neighbourhood, I can
drop by and maybe they can become useful one day...you’ll never know ^.^
Anyways, that night we went to my mother’s university
classmate (don’t know a better word for it XDD). We are rather close to her and
her family. She and her daughter LT (I need to come up with better nicknames, I
think there is LT already but let’s go with that XD) came to my graduation. And
brought me these really nice earrings and it was so good to see them and nice
of them to make the trip when they live pretty far ^.^
When we arrived they started to offer food but we
had kind of already eaten, KK made pancakes for us ^.^ but I didn’t get much of
a chance to eat anyways XD When I sat there and listen to the elders, LT came
to me and said that we are going out XD Just like that, no explanations or
other comments but as we drove to out destination, she told me that we were
going to meet up with her high school friends. She warned me that they will
talk about people that I wouln’t probably know, and they did, but they were all
so nice and they gave me funny summarizes of the people. That night I had a
milkshake with pepermint and coffee ilqour and it was delicious. We sat there
for about 4 hours and I had fun although LT thought that I will be bored to
tears but it would be better that listen to old people talk ^.^ LT is 23 years old and just graduated from
2 different schools at the same time. I really admire her. She is an art
student and a really talented artist but at the moment she is restoring a room
somewhere in Tartu ( I don’t remember the street where it was). Two of her
friends were really mesmerizing? XD Anyways, one of them was a....badass XDD She
sat next to me and really gave good summaries of people. The other one told
great stories. Maybe not the story itself wasn’t that good but the way she
told them, kind of funny XDD The two other that were there, didn’t say much but
they were exactly like LT described them – 2 blabbermouths and 2 silent ones,
and one of them had the same name as I do, Kristiina. Yeah, I had a fun night.
When we got back, my night took a turn – I had forgotten a
bag which held almost all of my make-up and a container for my lenses (luckily
I had put the solution into another place) and my tooth brush and the paste and
the zit cream (I got one on Wendsday night, so I kind of needed it) and my eye
cream...DISASTER! As for the lenses, luckily, LT had a container, so I could
get one from her and the makeup I got from my mom (eye liner, mascara) but I
needed to get at least an eyebrow pencil and an eye cream (I tend to have dark
circles under my eyes and thanks to the eye cream they have gotten better).
So, the next day me and my mom and my dad and LT’s mom (the
classmate) went to the stores in Tartu.
I got a really good eyebrow pencil, the other one just did
the job, and really smoothing eye cream, and do you really think I just bought
them? XDD From the same store, we got...how to say this...they are kind of
bandaids for the nose and the chin and the forehear to clear out blackheads and
other nasty stuff. I once got it in Viljandi but lately I hadn’t seen it, so I
had to bought it when I saw it.
I also finally used my gift certificates which I got from
the mayor of Viljandi for being a diligent student. They were both fot this
bookstore chain (there is a store in Viljandi but the selection wasn’t that
great).
When it comes to food, nature provides a wealth of delicious choices. But each one also supplies unique health benefits. From apples to yogurt, this comprehensive encyclopedia of power foods from top nutritionist David Grotto proves that what tastes good can also be good for you—and tells you why. Did you know...
• A handful of tart cherries before bed can help you sleep better • Hot peppers may fight skin cancer • Potatoes may reduce the risk of stroke • Grape juice may be as heart-healthy as red wine • Honey can help wounds heal faster
AND SO ON AND SO FORTH XD Basically, this book is full of food knowledge + there are couple of recipes. I really wanted something that is useful and reusable, if you know what I mean XD
The right one is:

I really wanted to buy mangas for that (I have Vampire Knight’s vol 1) but in Rahva
Raamat there wasn’t any of that. There was this other manga, which I don’t
remember the name, so, I got my vol 2 and 3 from Apollo ^.^ And also I got a book that translates from Estonian to Finnish and the other way around...
My mom bought some jarn and that’s about it. Not a big
shopping trip but still something.
After that we drove to see my grand-unkle’s daughter LZ. I
have seen her more often than KK because every time we drive to Jõhvi (that’s
where my mom is from) or Sõmeru (that’s where my grandmother’s brother and his
wife lives) we drive right past her summer home (now permanent residence). She
is a teacher just like my mom but a bit older than she is. We ate some
delicious cake and drank coffee – a nice and quiet afternoon.
Later we head of to my mother’s another university classmate
(there is one more later on XD) who has two sons. Like I found out, the younger
one was in the 8th grade and on September 1st starts 9th grade and other one is
1 or 2 years older than I am.
Seems like both of them have/had a thing for me. With the
older we talked one year until he said „you have beautiful eyes“. Well, it’s
threw me off guard and I said something...and let’s just say he doesn’t take
rejection easily and when I’m there, I hardly exist.
But the younger one....is taller than me now (I feel like a
shrimp) and has discovered girls. He served me hand and foot and when my mom
and her mom started talking about school (both teachers of course), he sat next
to me and told me how great and wonderful he is – how smart and popular and so
on and so forth. Yeah....boys...Well, other than that, the food was great and
my mom had a great time ^.^
Some time me and my dad washed the car a little and Yuki
called. Man, I already missed her – it was good to hear her rambling XDD No
offence, Yuki! I asked her to bring my Oriflame package, since I didn’t got the
chance, and my e-mail. I finally got a letter from the manager of the dorm I
will be moving in soon :)
After that we drove to Jõhvi and to my uncle’s home. We have
seen him more often this year than for the past 10 years...well, death usually
brings people together and since there is an aprtment to clean up, it gives us
a good reason to get together ^.^
He told me that when I want to get on a bus, I have to wave
my hand in oder to get the bus to stop...is that really true?
Anyways, we didn’t stay long because it was getting pretty
late (my mom took her time in the last visit).
We stayed in my grandpa’s old apartment – it was kind of
depressing to stay there at first but I have kind of gotten used to it and
besides, it’s not the same as it was when my grandpa died. A lot has been
thrown out and it’s much cleaner and different.
My dad hates that there is no TV, so he listens to radio a
lot. He also hears it at home too but not 24/7 like he does there and my mom
cleans all the time and looks though cabinets and stuff. What I do?
Nothing...well, I finally got „Blood Ties“ last book, so this time I read that.
It’s very thrilling I have to say and in
this part there is some gey action...and as I flipped through it, I saw that
Cyrus was alive again. Like WHAT THE HELL? That man just doesn’t die (not that
I want him to die, he is one of my favorites ^.^). At the end of the first book
Carrie killed him (or was it in the next one...details) and then his dad
brought him back to life than he was a human, then in oder to save him, he was
turned back to a vampire, than he died again and now his back to life, so it
seems. I have no idea whether as a vampire or a mortal but either way back in
this world
My mom found this cute picture...
Guess who is this?
This is my mom when she was about 4 or so. I really look like her ^.^ When I see her now I don't really see the resembles but my mom "comforted" me that I won't stay always the same...thanks mom!
The next morning we went to the stores, where I finally got
my tooth brush -.- little stores just don’t have a tooth brush, like what the
hell and it was torture anyways, that day we went to my mom’s last university
classmate. She picked us up near my grandpa’s apartment (now belongs to my mom,
aunt and uncle) and drove us to her summee cottage in Toila.
I saw that woman for the first time. Her husband later told
us that he saw me after I was born. Yeah, of course I membered him -.- Anyways,
that woman, MR (familiar initials -.-), had a...well for me, interesting job.
She is a development manager in TTÜ Virumaa college. She told us how she wrote
different poject, maybe not so needed. I’m really interested how projects and
proposal are written, a freak right XD? There we had delicious meat and fresh
peas from the chells...I’m not usually a fan of peas but I love to eat them
from the chells ^.^ Her husband is...I think I can say a druk driver like my
uncle. And as it turned out they are colleagues, what a coinky dink XDD
They have 3 sons – I didn’t see one of them. The older was
21 years old and in the college where his mother is working, the next one is 17
and starts learning TV-communications in September (he tried to study in a high
school but wasn’t for him) and the youngest is only 12 and, of course, goes to
school.
When we got back to the apartment, we met up with my uncle,
his wife and daughter. They helped us to clean up the apatment even more and
finally put the cupboard back in the bath
room and it was sure an hassle. I don’t know why but during that visit
my mother’s brother felt like an uncle, not just some stranger who happens to
share the same blood as I. We ate candy together, I helped him out –
communicated ^.^.
That night was one of the few where I slept good XD Yeah,
there is nothing like my own bed and room. And I missed my Jungshin (my teddy
bear of course XDD) but I didn’t got to sleep long – we had to drive to our
last stop before finally going home. The last destination was Sõmeru. It was
great to see my great aunt and uncle. When we arrived, she made reheated fish
for us and after lunch we sat on the stairs and caught up. Later on mom and my
great aunt and uncle went to his mother’s grave (to me great grandmother ^.^),
me and my dad stayed home. He wanted to wash the car and I wanted to get a
start on with my blog but I didn’t get to focus on it 100% since my aunt took
in a new dog, Suzy or Suzanna. She is an hyper active dog and I found out that
I don’t have much of a throwing hand XDD Everytime I tried to get back to
writing this, she sneaked out behind me and rubbed to ball against my back in
order to get my attention. My had got really tired but yeah, her energy was
contaigious XDD I wondered whether I was playing with her or she was playing
with me XDD
Suuuuuuuuuuuuzy ^.^ with her precious XD
And there is also this realllllly cute kitty-cat ^.^
Either way, I had fun. After dinner, we just had a little quiet
time and soon went to bed ^.^ And I saw three different dreams that night and in one of those dreams I told TT about another dream...confusing, I know XD Other than that, it is very relaxing to stay at Sõmeru. My aunt has this huge garden with like 100 different flowers and trees and there are strawberries and raspberries and other things you can grow...anyway, I got to pick strawberries and the sun was burning my back - it wasn't pretty XD
Somewhere around 2PM we packed up our stuff and head home.Of course we had a lunch break somewhere on the road. It was so good to come to my messy room, I really missed it ^.^
So, my lovelies, this has to be the longest post I have written XD And I seriously congratulate you when you have finished it! Sweet dreams ^.^
I know I promised to write yesterday but the day got ahead of me!
I woke up early but didn't get out of the bed right away (read fanfictions XD), then went to the store with my parents (I will miss that :/) and we wasted a "little" money XDD Yeah, but we did buy a blender, so no wonder XDD
So, somewhere around 3PM me and my mom went my mom's friend's house who gave us massages. It was kind of relaxing but also pinchy XDD Hopefully, we are going there this Saturday too.
And as soon as I got inside my room, Yuki called and I went to meet her. We had a nice time - ate dinner, watched Pirates of the Caribbean + ate popcorn and later had a little walk.
But now for the big news ^.^
I GOT ACCEPTED TO THE FINNISH SCHOOL!!!
But it wasn't that easy. At first I got wait-listed. And you can't even imagine how mad I was...
Anyways, I had 4 choices:
1) Accept the fact that I'm wait-listed and wait for an opening
2) Choose the media-assistant course (Yuki's course - PS. She got in right away)
3) Choose the compter techinician course (JL's couse and he also got in right away...no wonder I was bitter)
4) Decline
My first thought was to take choice number 4). I think I was afraid of another no...but I did tick the first one. And couple of weeks ago I got, first a text message then an e-mail from the Finnish school.
It was so sweet how caring they were. I'm the only Estonian in my course, so they were worried about me getting lonely ^.^ How cute is that! XD Anyways, I said I'll accept the challenge in Finnish, which HT helped me with.
And couple of days ago I got an huge envelope from that school. It had 3 page text in Estonian and then a lot of Finnish. Then there are these different certifications and timetables....crazy stuff XD
The bad news is that, although me and Yuki got both in that school, I have to go there over a month earlier. Good luck to me!
I hope I'll survive XDD
Something from this Monday ^.^
So, me and Yuki met on Monday. My mom bought me contact lenses for this and next month and went to the store, had a little drama but I have learned to let it go.
Later on we met up with Akira. We had milkshakes. Me and Yuki had also some fries. We just hang.out and Yuki talked about our childhood. Me and Yuki are friends since the 5th grade and she has an excellent memory, she talked how badass I was when we met and stuff XD Yeah...
We also walked around Viljandi and took couple of photos ^.^
It was fun, just being with friends :)
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^ PS. Got a package from China. Telling you guys about it on the next post.
Anyway, today is my final exam - Art History. I have to go to school to deliver a speech and I'M SUPER NERVOUS.
It's one and a half pages long and I'm afraid that I will start talking really fast, so it's more difficult to understand me, or I say something silly or I simply froze up.
I really hope that none of those happen....
+ I have no idea what they might ask. I thought about my favorite works and other things they might ask but I will never no!
I woke up 5.30AM, just to rewrite my speech and practice it and I could just calmly gather my things but now I have more time to be nervous.
The good news is that Yuki will be here today, so we can celebrate the final exam and stuff like that ^.^
So, wish me luck!
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^
PS. My teacher said that I have 5 guaranteed XD But still! I'm nervous as hell
So, starting off a brand new week, a school week with 8 Estonian lessons. Yay me! But about that later.
How did I spend my last days of freedom? So, as I told you before I was in Tallinn. Here some pictures, for you guys from the same day I went to see Sherlock Holmes.
Something for the fair ^.^
A view of Tallinn's Old Town + the greatest picture ever made XD
I told you there was a blizzard XD suppose to be me and the model of a cousin. Fortunately there is a much better picture of us ^.^
And then our sanctuary during the storm - McDonalds's!!!
And the best latte ever, especially on a cold day ^.^
And they made it look so good that I kind of felt bad about ruining the artwork and putting on the lid but it had to be done :/
At the movies ^.^
Looking at these pictures, we don't looks like we are related XD
So the next day we started out day a little later (almost 5 hours later XD) because the model needed her beauty sleep. We got on the bus where is saw the weirdest boys ever. They sat at the back of the bus and made sex noises until they got off of it. And one of those "hilarious" boys kept saying "I'm not the queer, they are." I was having a laugh -.- We went to the bookstore, where we spent an hour there (sorry cousin ^.^) and then off to Hesburger. Yeah, I was really on junk food diet in Tallinn but surprisingly didn't gain weight XDD Lucky me! ^.^
<- Mine delicious milkshake and chickenburger which I took for the first time. Usually I'm all about double cheeseburger XDD
And cousin's double cheesburger meal with fries and a Sprite ^.^ ->
Yeah, I'm not so photogenic as she is but I didn't tell you the biggest news - I lot my camera :'( I mean, it has to be somewhere around the house but where? I have no idea. I swear there is a black whole in my room somewhere, sucking my stuff in. Well, anyways, later we goofed at the bus stop and took a long bus drive back to do some cooking ^. ^ We made creamy pasta dish. Tasted pretty good ^.^
Thursday had another bus drive back home but before I got to see the needy boyfriend of the model. Yeah, had to woke up at 6AM, yay, and went by bus about an half an hour and there was a wonderful surprise waiting for us, at least for the model. And the bus was late and I got sick on the bus and some guy sat next to me who just couldn't stop coughing. Yeah, the bus ride was a joy. But my dad picked me up and walked me home. I was pretty exhausted, so I thought I should lay down for few minutes but I fell asleep XD Slept two hours before the doctor and somewhere around five went to LO's place, well actually, we met in Selver to get the ingredients for a pie and then headed off to her place. It was nice just to sit and talk and bake a cake which was delicious and I found out that LO tends to be very impatient XD And same goes to my Sunday night. On that day I was with MP. There we made soup but still sat and talked, I braided her hair and went shopping. Seems like nothing much but I think that days like this you can relax. Don't have to think about too much. And somewhere around that day I made an alien head XD
Aww, she is so cute, NOOT XD Anyways, on Saturday I was at MV's place with Yuki. Played Need For Speed with both of them and sucked at it XD Okay, I'm might be overreacting but I am better at the computer, used to it. And I pleyed with the cutest boy in a PS2, Dante.
And also got to play a new Monopoly Deal card game. The first 2 tries, I had to admit defeat but on the h´third try, I totally destroyed them XD And also the next day I played couple of board games - Alias Junior and Estonia Junior. Those games were too easy. On the first game Akria won and the next Yuki did, so yeah not my day ^.^
So yeah, that's how I ended up spending my vacation. Do I regret it? Hell no! Although my dad says that I should have actually rested at home, since I took long bus rides, I think that my winter break was well spent because I got to see all my friends, go to do what I want and didn't spend all the time in the computer (actually hardly any). I do think that I should have gone to the library at least one time but sadly I was too occupied.
The outfit of the week ^.^
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^
PS. I'm thinking about changing something after the 100th post ^.^
Tomorrow English exam, the day after that Art History test + book report, the day after that History test + ride to Tallinn, the day after that "Teeviit" and the next day? Not so sure yet but there will be something :D And who said that I lead a boring life? Just kidding, it's seems like school, school and school. And officially I'm on sedatives. YAY! Something to add to my pills list XD Okay-okay, I'm officially off the neuritis pills because I'm cured. HALLELUJAH! Yeah, I'm dripping with sarcasm here but not because I'm nad or something but lately I have been rather down. :/
So, I wrote a little something long time ago, so I thought I would post it already XD Last Friday: -Today, I’m totally ignoring Estonian class. But in the name of the school, I’m not just ditching the class. I’m just visiting the school’s psychiatrist. No, I’m not emotionally unstable (not yet anyways XD) but just in my school the senior year and the 9th grade takes a personality test + a career test. I’m really looking forward to the answers. For one, I would like to know what’s suits me the best and also I want to know if I have changes over the 3 years.
When I was writing this, I was waiting in the floor where are the some of the first grades, like the first and the second and MAN they are so energetic XD Comparing to the upper classes they look veruy dull although there might be laughter. Oh, I miss the days when recess was a time for just playing and not for finish homework and revising for a test that might change your totally outcome.
But I can see that not all the games have changed. Couple of girls are playing a game where you suppose to jump on the others toe and the other one can only jump away in the right time. And might I add, one of them is checking out what am I writing XDD Good luck to her ^.^-
So, I went to the psychiatrist and got a lot of things about me. Some where totally wrong. For example: the test said that there is no stubborness in me WHAT SO EVER. Like seriously? My mom said: "What kind of test is that? That's totally wrong. I'll correct it right away." XDD and the other thing was inner tension, which was also very low. -.- At the moment it's higher than the Empire State Building but maybe at the time of the test (September 30) I was rather calmer. The nice lady also made me doubt in my future plans. Not that she destroyed them or anything but just made me realize that I have more options. Like foreign universities. I have never thought that I could apply in one of those. I have heard that some of my classmates are and I have supported them all the way but not really thought that I could do the same. So, me and the psychiatrist made a plan to watch some of the universities published in "Teeviit"
And that brings me to that event. For all those non-Estonians:
"Teeviit" is an event where there are bunch of schools who advertise themselves and attract new students. You can ask questions about that school or about one major. So yeah, there are a lot of young people who can look around for options ^.^
But the day before I'll go to stay at my cousins house, my little sis. She has begging to see me and I also really want to see her too. So, I thought that would be a really good opportunity and it's all thanks to MAÜ. THANK YOU! ^.^
I figured out why me and Yuki get along so well. We umderstand each other completely and we don’t need to chat constantly. Like this Saturday morning (I stayed over last night), we basically both sat on the computer (I behind my laptop and she behind her home computer) and we hardly spoke a word to each other. But I wouldn’t say the atmosphere was awkward or something like that. It was rather relaxed. Except fot the fact that my ribs hurt XD I suspect that Yuki came kicking last night...just kidding. Maybe just the bed, which I was sleeping on, didn’t really suppost sleeping on my stomach like I’m used to at home. Actually I don’t really remember the last time I slept over. And neither does Yuki.
And speaking of Yuki, Friday night, when we were watching „Aristocats“ she kind of freak out when she saw my sleevless hands. Long story short she was absolutely sure that I have lost a lot of weight because my elbows are really bony. And I guess they might be and also my ribs might be sticking out (that would explain the rib ache also) but my tummy doesn’t seem to get the fact that I’m eating less. It’s just as fat as it always has been, at least to me. And if I think about I have started to eat less. Not intentionally of couse but it has just happened. I eat breakfast because I have to take vitamins and then I eat during 5 or 6 PM because I’m just starving and that kind of concludes my eating these days. I think the main reason is that my kitchen is a mess and I don’t really don’t want to go there. My dad is sick so he doesn’t do housework and my moms is busy and I just detest waching the dishes. Seriously! I would rather scrub a toilet. So yeah, if I don’t go to the kitchen then I can’t eat XD How simple is that. Surely, my mom says that I have to force myself but my tummy isn’t crying so what’s the point? And if I look at my hand while typing, I can see my vessels are sticking out and especially the one I can move. Yeah, there is an actual vessel I can move at will. It’s pretty grouse and after a while it makes an uncomfotable.
Speaking of my week. I went to school on Monday and rest of the week I sat home (well except Saturday, that day I sat at Yuki’s). Oh and on Wendsday and Friday I was a babysitter and made some money. I only babysit on kid and she really is a sweet girl but not really big on sharing. Yeah, I would say a little bit spoilt but so am I, so I can’t really judge. I’m also used to get what I want XD Most of the time I have played Sims 3. Love, love, love it ^.^ It is a little more complicated that Sims 2 was but that makes it a little more special. The grafics have change, it has become more challenging especially with the relationships but who cares. The sad thing is that the people get older sooner, or at least it seems to me.
I think I won’t be sharing pics and videos of my Simses but I would add a picture where the Sims has a creepy resemblance to an actual person, Akira’s aqquataince, and a little WTF!?-moment video.
Oh, the reason I could stay long at home like that without getiing into trouble is this. On Tuesday and Wendsday I was offically sick at home. Long story short, my migraines are back. Actually few years ago I got a medical certificate of migraine swings and long time I haven’t had problems with them but seniour year is stressful so yeah, they are back! XD And on Thursday and Friday the most of my class was in Russia, so I didn’t have any lessons what so ever. But next week is a full week so good luck to me! ^.^
Spent a lot of money on food and drink BUT it was all worth it.
Yuki came to town today and right after she step out of the bus we headed to Statoil to buy hot chocolate but we also took a hot dog because I knew Yuki would hardly eat anything that morning. She has a very bad beginning, let's just say. The hot chocolate that Yuki recommended was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S! I want to buy that again and again and again and you know what comes next - bankruptcy XD So, for one in a while it's okay ^.^
Then we bought some childhood treats like bubble gum, a lollipop, chips and "Mõnus maius" (This is a really nourishing and sweet bite with plenty of toffee and crunchy corn balls - took it from the production company XD). Let's just say our jaws hurt from chewing all that bubble gum but it was worth it ^.^
So, although the day got kind of expensive, I had a lot of fun ^.^ We laughed, talked and watched a movie. This time it was "Underworld:Evolution" - love Underworld movies, they both are so awesome and I can't wait for the third one and I'm really looking forward to the fourth one which comes out in January T.T
Am I too boring or talk too much but Yuki slept when she got a chance XD It was during the movie. And we also scared each other a bit, neither of them were actually intentional but maybe Yuki really wanted to scare me -suspicious- Anywayz XD When somebody rang the doorbell, Yuki slipped out of my room to bathroom and I wasn't aware of that, and when I finally got rid of the annoying guest, she creped out from the corner and I jumped. Nut with Yuki it was more hilarious XD Yuki went to the bathroom after the movie (AGAIN XD) and I also needed to go, so I hung out in my room but soon quietly walked out and when I reached to the door Yuki opened and shrieked out loud XD Man, it was hilarious (sorry Yuki XD).
So, I had a fun day ^.^ But now, homework for me!
Oh but my morning? Spend hours getting myself ready XD Usually I don't take long to get ready but let's just say I took my time. After shower I tended my face, took my time to do my make-up but the most time took my hair. I don't have a lot of hair but today I took a really good care of it. I added conditioner - I have two different: one for my roots and one to another hair - and also added heat protection+straightening spray, which is actually 2in1, but I didn't add hairspray which I kind of regret because now I'm wavy :/ but it could have gone worse but the straightening spray helped ^.^ Natsu recommends XD
So, it's Schwarzkopf's Got2b Straight On, which is protecting straightening spray. It's suppose to straighten, smooth and hold and protect up to 200 degrees. And I can honestly say that it does all those things because I'm not payed to day nice things XD I have used half of it and I don't regret although if you put too much on the same place hair gets tacky but other than that - 2 THUMBS UP!
Some time in the morning, I was thinking what to do with my bangs. I have grown them out and I'm not planning to cut again, so they are abnormally long but not long enough to push behind the ears. I would say, thank you Youtube! I found this Gyaru girl who shows how to do curl side bangs.
And no, I'm not planning on becoming a Gyaru girl myself. Although Yuki told me today that I'm turning into them just because I bought a BB Cream. Really, I'm not planning on follow Gyaru style and I have couple of reason:
1. I'm not cute enough - and that's one of the biggest reasons because when I see those girls they are like overly kawaii and stuff and I'm not one of those kinds (at least I think I'm not ^.^).
2. I don't have Gyaru style clothes - maybe I can find some in my wardrobe but most of the clothes that those girls wear are soft pink and overly girly and I have closet full of pants and sweatshirts XD
3. It's expensive - they wear fake eyelashes, animal lenses + if I want to follow that style I have to change my entire wardrobe. Get the picture!? XD And there is also hair extensions - to be totally honest I have though of hair extensions XD All my life I have wanted really long hair but my hair always get to a point where they don't go on, so I have though about those clip on extensions which I can take off whenever I want + I don't have to wash them + I don't have to pay to the hairdresser to get them tended or placed on ^.^ But I'm not so sure if I buy them.
So, I'll add a song here which has been stuck in my head all day. CURSE YOU, YUKI! Haha, I'm kidding. I love the song. It's ćalm, smoothing and beautiful. So, arigatou Yuki! ^.^
But, I can't add it because it has already been in my blog couple of posts back, so a much more different song.
I think there was a day where I listened to this song over and over again XD
I really wanted to blog today but I got caught up in those make-up tutorials and stuff, so yeah XD.
I have so much to say here, so I think I would definitely write something tomorrow because at 8AM I will be attending a math competition, so, after the 4 mantatory hours I get to come home, so I have plenty of time ^.^
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^.^
PS. I don't wanna go to that thing tomorrow T.T but I really have a urge to do a vlog...
So, I were in the library with MP and we were working on our computers. Different things though. I was helping her to write her self-introduction for Estonian class, so while she was typing stuff about herself, I thought I would write about my life which turned out to be not so boring as I thought XD So, I haven't blogged in a while. OMG, I'M TURNING INTO T!? Who, BTW, just relised that he doesn't blog a lot. T (on Twitter): "ahh i'm sucha lazy blogger, sorry everyone!"
My reaction: NO WAY!?!
So, what has Natsumi been up to these, hmm..., two weeks now? ^^
Well, I'll open my hundred sticky notes, (arrange them a little) and tell you all about my exciting life ^^
Well, firstly, I did met up with MS and Yuki but day before that, Saturday, I cleaned my entire room and I'm still so proud of myself when I was finally able to see the floor XD Okay, but with those two. With Yuki we had a rather quiet afternoon together. We just chilled out on the computer because she was in a lot of pain. She just got out of a boot camp or something like that.
But with MS there was a rather difficult story. Firstly, we settled that when I drove off from Yuki's, I'll give her a call, which I did and SHE DIDN'T PICK UP! And then again and finally I went off to the town myself - I had stuff to do - and gave up on her and yeah, I was pissed to but once I got to home again and saw her on MSN. Basically, she was having a tough time and, even though I was mad, we met up anyways and had a really nice talk. The best news is that I could make her feel better ^^.
September 12th
Everyone got sick during the weekend. We had another couple of people to do the overviews and one of them, LT, sniffed after every single sentence and of course Natsumi herself battles with a running nose every day.
Oh, after the Estonian lesson, I sent TT home. She was sick AGAIN. She has missed so many school days that I'm starting to worry but she is a very smart girl and I'm sure that she will catch up. I mean, we often fight about it. She is sure that she isn't that smart (& I'm sure that she will disagree with me by reading this too) but to me she is one of the smartest peoples I know.
September 13th
I didn't see TT at all :/ but I'm glad that she stayed home to rest but I did miss her. Especially in History class. I had to sit with AL and I'm really not a fan of him. Before we were forced to sit together, I thought of him as a fun guy but rather lonely but now I understand why. After sitting one class together, he announced me that I was a mean girl. AFTER ONE FREAKING LESSON which only lasted for 45 minutes. And why he thought that way? We had to pair up and check someone's essay. When the owner of the essay found out that we were grading it, he started to butter us up -.- and even tried to bribe us. I hate flatterers...well people who does everything (EXCEPT STUDY) to get good grades. So, yeah, I graded fairly and he got a four. CRY ME A RIVER! So yeah, AL decided that I was a meanie for putting a 4 on an essay which deserved only a four, even the writer himself admitted that he didn't make much of an effort.
During Physics (which I have 3 on that day) and in the brakes HR was nervous about the coming English test. Me and him go to a different English groups, I didn't have that dreadful test, so I tried to help him. I asked the words in Estonian and he was suppose to tell me them in English. Let's just say he didn't ace them, so after 3 or 4 words he yanked the papers. And guess what!? The test didn't happen XD
That night I started thinking about Yuki's birthday present. Yes, she had a birthday on Friday, party on Saturday, and I need to make her something. I bought her a sweater form China but it just arrived yesterday so yeah, I needed to make something special for her. I have a hard competition in there. She has always got beautiful handmade things from her friends when I barely made her a card (which sucked BTW). So yeah, I thought about origami. I found a site where they taught origami daisies but it was too hard to learn from the pictures, so I found a video.
So this is the first flower I made. Pretty horrible, isn't it?
Anyways, I practiced making them until I went to my stepsister's daughter's birthday party. She turned 1 and, Yuki said, it felt like she was born just yesterday. She was so cute and I was the only one to whom she said thanks to ^^ Let's just say, I'm good with kids. I used to babysit one regulary too but lately my help isn't needed. It's kind of sad, I kind of miss that little ball of sunshine :)
Oh, I have to say. When the sister put the little one to bed, she told me that she really loved my outfit and I have turned into a fashionista. At first it sounded rather ridiculous but when I got to think about it, maybe I am. But I would say that my fashion isn't something that you see on everyone on the streets. So yeah, I put together different outfits but not according to latest trends,
So, I think that's it for the day. I have to go to bed rather early. Tomorrow I will have another Oriflame gig and I have to be well-rested for it.
Have a good night/day everyone and I will continue (& maybe someday reach to the present). But for now...
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^
PS. Dreadful is my favorite word - not because of the meaning but the spelling is great.
Firstly the video I promised...videos, to be more accurate because it seems that the original one was too long, so I cut it in half.
And the second part
Yeah, I talk to much but I was there for the entire day, so bare with me XD.
Today I cleaned my whole room. I CAN SEE THE FLOOR!! XD (The little joys in life ^^) And this time I really worked hard. I cleaned out everything - from the floor, changed the bedsheets, cleaned out draws, washed the carpet, washed the floor (and fell on it XD) and later I have to vacuum too(just in case).
About my draws...I found out that I have a lot of pills in the first draw. Like there is really so much of them and I also found a present that I got from my aunt who lives in Sweden now. It was a...I think it's a notebook. It has totally white pages and all around it gives it a...kind of a royal feeling to it. When I got it my mom said that I should write something special in it...but it has reminded empty...
And I have a well working envelope system working XD I have put pictures and art history cards and bank card etc into envelopes and I have like 7 of those and one envelope contains more envelopes XDD
And I haven't told you this before but I collect shopping bags and as for today 10.09.2011 I have 56 different shopping bags ^^
What else? I have ordered all of my clothes and I was thinking about giving one of my cardigans to Yuki because I don't wear it at all and I thought that she could wear it at home at least but since she made such a huge fuss about me giving her a foundation tester then I'm thinking about turning my cardigan into a pillow. I have a lot of clothes but still I feel like I have nothing to wear XD I think it's every girl's problem.
In the night, I dealt with some feedback to Oriflame about yesterday and now I'm just skype'ing with Yuki, watching T a little and just staying online but to be honest I feel like curling up to a ball at the moment. Why? It feels like I was absent for one day and my school life came grumbling down (& and my confidence got a little hit too). It seems like next week will be hell:
1. I already have to finish a book.
2. I have history test on Wendsday
3. I have physics test on Tuesday
4. I have monologue on Monday and I can't prepare for it because I left my notebook to school, so I have no subjects.
5. There is a possibility that I have to submit a discussion for a book I read in the summer.
& I'm sure that I have more n+1 things to do...
But right now, I'll go to sleep and tomorrow I'll see Yuki and then MS ^^
Did you miss me? Did you miss me? Of course you did! XD
Anyways, heya, It's Natsumi and now she is an official 12th grader aka SENIOR!
I would say that this was my first WEEK at school but unfortunately it wasn't like that.
September 5th
Week begun with Natsumi making a public performance thanks to somebody. Sometimes I really hate KR, like on Monday, but sometimes she is pretty useful too (I'll tell you about that later). On Monday, I hated her.
When I woke up, I didn't remember anything on that little performance but LUCKILY I looked at my diary, and there stood that I had to do a report on foreign news. Yeah, in my history class there is a custom that according to the list two people do a little overview on news outside and inside Estonia. Since KR made a "friendly" suggestion that we should start this year in the bottom, then I had to a report.
I'm not exactly the last on the list but yeah...
I made a choice on changing my last name. When my mom married with dad, I got to made a choice - whether I wanted to stick with my name or change it. I voted for a change because I think it would be a little awkward when all of my family is V and I'm the only R. My grandpa (from my mother's side) still doesn't know that I changed my name. He wasn't really totally on board with my mom marrying in the first place, so we didn't want to add oil to the fire. But I like my new name (well not that new, I have been wearing for the past 8 years) and it has this German feeling to it ^^
I think there wasn't anything else remarkable on my Monday.
Well, if I would say according to my timetable
History - performance
Math - some theory + exercises
Math - more exercises
Estonian - I think it was the best Estonian lesson ever. We didn't have to do anything XD and teacher just talked for a change which is great in her lessons. The more she talks the less we have to make anything ^^
English - That's a lesson I want to do something because that lady can talk and talk and talk and talk and you get the picture. Don't get me wrong! She is a great teacher but her talk seems to wonder and she moves form one topic to another and we sometimes quite can't catch up. And in her lessons. 5 comes easily...at least for me. In that lesson, I might be teacher's pet.
There was this one time, when I was answering for home reading, when I didn't know anything. I talked a little about the contents but she cut me off because she knew the book ("Pride and Prejudiced") and then she asked for the words, which I didn't know exactly and I got a 5+ XD You know what she said:
"You just need to digest the words and I'm sure you would know them but you have just learned them, so, It's okay."
And I only got 5 lessons that day but I had to hang out in the school's library to wait for my mom, so I did the homework and a little required reading.
After that shopping. I got a new bad which I already love...simply adore XD
Do you like? ^^
And I got some other nesserary stuff for school and I can cross out some items from my huge list too in "Neverland".
Since I got off so early, I went to the library and did a little more research for my research XD (Weird sentence XD). ANYWAYS, a small picture of my workplace. A little messy but...yeah XD
I stayed there for 3 hours when my brain totally shut down. I clearly overdid it but okay, I got a little addition to my research.
September 6th
Another day at the big school house ^^
The best thing about it? IT'S ESTONIAN TEACHER FREEEEEE!!!
And I don't remember what else happened XD
The timetable:
Math - I think some more exercises XD
Physics practice (basically a lesson where we only do excercises but the class is split into half) - of course some excercises.
I forgot to tell you. In the first Physics lessons (which was in Friday) the teacher said something to the boys in my class: "You are grown men (obviously to the BOYS)." Can I laugh?! XD Okay maybe some of them can measure up but most of them....I mean please...
The good news is, or maybe bad for me, HR booked me for the entire yeas AGAIN. I have to sit beside him in Physics class. Last time, last year, he was really angry at me when I sat next to TT in one lesson XD. Anyways, moving on.
Physics practice - some more exercises
Physics - for the whole class. We couldn't get enough for two lessons XD
English - teacher talked to us again
History - wasn't my fave that day. Our team got beat by KR team and that wasn't sweet. She beat us by 4 points, by freaking 4 points. But what you can expect. We have been working together for two and now we work agaist, so yeah, the competition is tougher but we survive.
(That reminds me that, at the moment, Yuki is in military camp. I wounder how she is doing in there. I hope she is having the time of her life ^^)
Class teacher's lesson - basically it's not really a lesson but a meeting. We talk about class stuff there (coming events, decisions we have to make etc) and that lessons usually doesn't happen either.
At home I made a poster for that Geisha book I read during the summer. It was a home assignment in Literature class. It looked like this.
Well, I'm proud of it and Yuki seemed impresses when I showed it to her through webcam. But I have to add, the night I drew it, I was drinking with my mom XD.
Oh, and that night I wanted to find a great background for my iPOd and I found a really GREAT ONE!
HE IS SO HOT! So be jealous because he's mine XD
Oh, and that night I was reading mangas...all night I was reading mangas XD and the most memorable quote was:
A: Are you gay?
B: If necessary!
Classic!
September 7th
That mornig started the hard way - I just couldn't open my eyes. Oh, and that wasn't the worst part of it, TT got sick and I was without a deskmate.
When I got to school, I noticed that TT was missing because usually she is there before me, so I got worried and sent her a text message. She said that wasn't feeling well and stayed home - no wonder, she was kind of sick on Tuesday too but it got worse.
Timetable:
Physics - studied a little something new and then exercises of course but the teacher talked about one for 20 minutes (that half of the lesson in Estonia) XD so we didn't get much done
Before English, I read a little required reading and just chilled.
English - we talked about reported speech and a little something I noticed in the last lesson
English -
I have to excuse my horrible outlook, I look somehow scary too XD
Literature - Luckily I didn't have to present my poster but we talked about KR's all lesson. She choose a Jeremy Clarkson's "For Crying Out Loud!" but still we got a homework about our posters. Had to write a little story on the back.
Somewhere between the English classes, I started to write a letter to the Japanes guy and after each lessons, I tried to continue and wrote a little in the math class to
Math - Japanese letter + exercises
After that lesson, MP asked me to accompany her to the little buffet in our school. When I was standing in the line, something weird happen. Like totally weird.
MP was standing in the line while I was standing few inches away to not be on the others way (I didn't want to buy anything) when I felt that my butt got slapped. In school. By a 2nd grader. THERE ARE A LITTLE HENTAIS IN MY SCHOOL. When I looked back, one of them was pointing at the other, kind of like "he did it!". They could hardly reach for my butt so why they slapped it. I have no words to that incident XD
Well, MP bought lunch and I felt like an anorexic next to her. There she was a full plate in front of her and I had nothing. My side was empty - well there was an iPod but nothing edible wasn't around.
I usually don't eat lunch at school. I just bring along an apple or a sandwich form home and nothing more. My mom gives me lunch money but I just don't want to eat at school.
History - the worst lesson of the day and it was made hell by my "mature" classmate. Everybody got quiet and worked on a paper that history teacher gave us. It was rather difficult to and guess what JJ did.
1. He copied off the girl in front
2. He sprayed some weird aerosole.
3. AND THE WORST PART, he giggled like a little school girl ALL THE TIME
Yeah, the boys in my class are really grown man! Oh, how I tried to ignore it but when he is basically right next to me, how could I. I really felt like punching him, so he would get rid of that freaking grin. And he was like that THE WHOLE LESSON.
And now comes the part where I like KR. She saw that JJ was writing off of him and purposely wrote the wrong answers and then the teacher asked him. OH I GOT TO LAUGH!!!
His answers were so random that teacher frowned and asked somebody else. She is one of those teachers who would never undermine a student.
JJ was like: "Why did you write the wrong answers?"
KR: "To teach you a lesson! So next time, you would do your own work."
That's one of the things that really bothers me about JJ. He hasn't done anything (during those 3 years I have been in the same class as him) and copies of others job. He never studies for anything and cheats and does the minimum.
Actually his deskmate was giggling too but he didn't bother me that much because I know that RP pulls himself together when it's nessesary and I have seen him working hard and trying to study. He has asked for my help many times and I see he tries.
And that was it for that day. After I waited like a loner for my mom again - listening to the music with a blank stare.
That night I read a manga, talked to Yuki and had a walk with my mom. The last one is taking an interest in the yaoi world that's great. She wants to continue with that anime, I showed her in Aegviidu. But there is a catch - I have to write Estonian subtitles or translate everything while watching. And she really wanted to know what that manga was all about which I'm reading at the moment.
September 8th
Sick day.
When I woke up, I had a massive migraine. It was so terrible that I couldn't even open my eyes and I felt so terrible that I could puked. It was simply awful. Somehow, I got to my parents bedroom and told them that I got a huge migraine.
I ended up sleeping there and when I woke up (for the second time that day) I found a wet cloth on my forehead. The feeling was a lot better then but still mom decided to torture me. She wanted to take my temperature. I have hated it ever since I was a kid. I hated siting in a one place and holding a sick under my armpit. I could take in any drug just that I could be stuck with a thermometer. And guess what?! I didn't have temperature. Take that mom! I told you so!
Since mom told me not to use the computer that day, I read mangas for my iPod XD and watched TV.
At 6PM, I drove to my sponsor though. I know it's bad that I didn't go to school but still went there but I made a promise.
Well, there were couple of my classmates, total babes, like seriously.
A: "Oh my god, he looks so hot."
B: "He is even better. A total eye candy."
A: "He is more of your type. I would gladly take him."
B: "Oh my god I would totally go to a ball with him."
A: "Yeah, totally. And I would be like this and he would be like that."
AND SO ON! And what they were watching at?
September 9th
One of the scariest days of my life.
So, a small recap of my day and my legs are REALLY tired.
But unfortunately, the blog don't want to upload that video, so I'll try to put it on toworrow.
When I finally got home, I ate a little and finally answered my Interpal letters. I have waited too long with this. And I was on Twitter and I found a Super Junior live. As you know (or found out just now) Heechul went to the army and let's just say - Super Junior with out Heechul isn't the same. And guess who was the one who took over Heechul's act? See for youself!
I have noticed that Super Junior dances aren't that complicated but the fact that there is about 10 people dancing at the same time, gives it that power. I'm not saying that the dances are lame or anything but they aren't just...well like Shinee "Lucifer" ^^
And that reminds me that I found a super cute picture about Kyuhyun.
Simply adorable. I can't even see Ryeowook next to him ^^
I found another Super Junior video and when I watch it, I can't really help myself for smiling. It's just so silly...next to Mr. Simple of course. And I just have to mention this - while Kyuhyun is dancing there comes a cap in his bangs and that really bothers me XD
And now it's U-Kiss time. They have made their comeback and that's really great but I just can't help myself from criticizing.
1. They all are way to oily.
2. Kiseop has too much bangs and he still reminds me of Edward. Maybe because I kind if miss him...anyways.
3. Why do I feel like a traitor, when I think that AJ looks hot in this video?
But other that those 2.5 bad things, they're comeback is really awesome and I am proud of them. And did I forget to mention I really like "Neverland"? XD
And I really like watching "I Don't Know" lives? They are also so silly and those lives make me feel better, more cheerful ^^
Since, I go to school now and since I have so much to do, I won't wear something exciting every day, so I will choose an outfit of the week.
So, what do you think? I really liked it because it was ÜBER comfortable and that beige this I'm wearing is really soft ^^ I think I wore it on Tuesday.
So yeah, I'm really going to bed now...it's not very late but I'm tired from all that standing around.
