The promised sleep I didn't get this weekend because guess who discovered party-scene. Okay-okay during high school I went to a couple of parties but not like going to a nightclub for two straight days like I did this Friday & Saturday.
And I had fun! Got to dance, sing, hang out and drink a little on Friday. Well, something else did happen but I don't feel good about discussing it yet. I think it might be a little bit early, since I'm not so sure where is it going for me...short to say, it's too soon.
Last night I didn't get much sleep though. I wasn't exactly thinking of something but somehow I ended up waking up ~5.30AM. I tried to get back to sleep but it was rather useless because once I get up, it's hard for me to get back to sleep.
I think it would actually be a good thing if I had to go to 8AM Finnish lessons but I got a text message (+ an official note) that my Finnish teacher is sick and the lessons are cancelled, so I have to wait a little less than 6 hours for school AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO! I haven't got any homework yet. In a way, it's good of course but then again I should practice my Finnish more and translating different texts/questions/etc could help me. But, oh well, I can't assign myself homework, so I focus on other things.
I find it hard to explain my days here. I mean it's fun to be here but if I say that we went to the shops, had dinner and walked to school, it doesn't sound fun, huh?
There is something new in everyday and we have developed some inside jokes that only we get and we laugh about, kind of like with Yuki.
I wish that she would be here already. Don't get me wrong! I have great people surrounding me here but I feel like that I don't talk to Yuki as much as I want. In a way I try to stay away from the computer, so I don't think about home so much.
I had a 5 second homesickness on the August 20 when it was Estonian's Day of Restoration of Independence or taasiseseisvumispäev as Estonians like to call it. I think it was the first time in my 19 years when I have been abroad during that day. It was an important day for Estonia...
Anyways, on that day, I studied the 10 finger system on computer. Yeah, it was no fun. I think I type faster like I usually do and my fingers kept cramping, especially the pinkey.
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...
Hey!
I had a bigger post waiting for me but I decided to do a little post right now,
Guess where I am?
IN FINLAND. I'm on the train and I'm going to Seinäjoki to switch for a bus which leads me to my dorm.
I have survived so far XD
I got hardly any sleep last night. I had no idea where my phone was, so I didn't sleep properly (I'm sorry, If there are typos, my iPod doesn't correct my mistakes), so I have slept abou 3h max. For now I haven't felt that tired but the night is young (it's only 18.23 according to the clock on the train).
My luggage is extremely heavy and that has been the biggest problem.
My parents drove me to the harbour (we had a little trouble finding it since I haven't used Lindaline Express before) and helped me through check in. When I gave my mom a hug, she immidiently started to cry. Dad stayed strong for me XD Since it was an Express, it kind of reminded me a bus inside...and it kind of reminded me of Loveless, when Ritsuka went to the ferris wheel and Soubi followed him...ANYWAYS, I arrived to Helsinki 15 minutes later then I was suppose to...no biggie, since I had like 2,5h to my train. BTW, the man who sat across me strongly reminded me of Danny Jones from McFly. If I knew a little less, I would swear that it was his older brother :)
When I got off the ship, I was all alone (but not for long XD). I took out my map of Finland which had a little mapp of Helsinki attached to it out and started to walk towards the train station. I probably looked really patheti - my hair was all messy, it was burning hot, I stopped at every corner to check whether I was on the right steet and I was dragging a suitcase which was bigger than I was XDDD But, I'm great at navigating (I don't mean to brag XDD) and I arrived there without any trouble ^^
Okey, there was a small problem. Ine of the wheels on my suitcase came off XDD But I can still drag it along, si I'm good.
I kind of have a picture memory (I wouldn't say photographic memory), so I remembered how the trainstation looked like + the little VR icin which lead me to the ticket booth. With my English, I got my student ID card to get discounts + my train ticket ^^ And then came the great news - one of the Estonians who also a student in that school I'm going to be attending, sent me a text message that she was in the train station and asked which train I'm going to take. To sum up, we met up and now we are travel-buddies XDDD She is really easy to talk to but quite the opposite of me XDD Either way, she's great and I'm glad that I met her ^^
I have to say, the train tickets in Estonia are cheaper than in Finland and I like how roomy the trains are in Estonia, in here, I feels like I'm taking a bus ^^
Now, we have arrived to the present. Soon, I will be getting off this train and have another 1,5h of travelling with a bus and then home sweet home for the next 3 years ^^
Wish me luck!
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^
PS. I thought I will be more nervous XD
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 ^.^
Today I had a good day!
Rather slow but relaxing.
I met up with Marks today. I really missed her. We didn't do much, we never do much, but with her it doesn't bother me.
We met up in her apartment and we caught up while she arranged flowers. We talked about work, my study plans etc. She will take a year off and plans to work and then go to school. In a way, it might be a good plan if she manages to save up money then she would avoid loans.
Then we went to a photo shop to prepare her mother her present and then to a bookstore to get it wrapped. After we had a little ice cream and I was craving on hamburgers but yeah, didn't get it, we were too lazy to walk so far and the one closest doesn't taste that good...
My outfit of the day!
I totally forgot to post the dress to my shopping list but here it is. The bad thing about it is that it's a see-through but, fortunately, I have a long tank top which suits perfectly under there ^.^ like it's meant that way XD
The bag that I'm carrying was made by my great aunt and I love it ^.^
And these shoes I'm wearing...they are actually my mom's. I used to wear them when I was a little girl and, of course, they were too big for me XD I wasn't the kind of little girl, who wore her mother's dresses and applied make-up on her face but I did try to wear those shoes. They were so awesome for me, different. They are basically these really high platform shoes but they are rather comfortable.
I don't talk much about my childhood, do I?
Oh, I have couple more things to say XD
My TV is broken XD I have no idea what's wrong with it but when I try to turn it on, it just starts to make a very annoying noise and doesn't show anything. I have been TV-less for at least a week now and I miss it babbling in the background XDD
Tumblr is addictive -.- I just scroll and scroll there for hours XDD Okay, I have added couple of posts but other than that just scroll, scroll, reblog, like, like, scroll, scroll and so on and so forth XDD
And I will probably start watching the O.C with my mom. I'M SO EXCITED!!! and my mom seems to like the plan also. She said that she thinks she hasn't seen all of the episodes and she would really loved to. I already warned her that I would be crying at the end of the 3rd and 4th season XDD
Oh, on Tuesday, me and Yuki got together with Akira again but this time DK joined us. We decided to watch a scary movie called "The Woman in Black" I admit it! it was scary but apparently not scary enough for me. I was calm during the whole movie...okay-okey I was frightened once but that was because Akira screamed and boy that girl can scream XDD
It was cool! I love hanging out with my friends, even when there are people I hardly know around ^.^
Okay, my lovelies, I have written more in these two days than I have during the last 3 months XDD I kind of like it but it's hard to start and also, usually, when I start to write I:
a) forgot what I was suppose to write about
or
b) ran out of ideas
and besides, it's more interesting to read what others have been up to rather that write what I already know ^.^ but at least I'm better than a certain boy who cannot be named XD
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^
PS. I hadn't hear this song until today XDD I'm a really bad kpop fan, or should I say I have become a really bad kpop fan...but as for the song...I'm speechless XDD but I have to admit, it's haunting me now XD
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.
My March has been really out of the ordinary - there has been so many birthdays, including my own 19th, have visited my mother's home and enjoyed spring break.
So, the first of many birthdays was Akira's but the day before that I went to Jõhvi. It's a city in the north of Estonia and it was the city where my mom was raised (she was born ~20km away - Kohtla-Järve). We drove there straight from school but got there pretty late. We went to the graveyard because on the March 2nd my grandpa was born and we wanted to lit some candles for him. I just have to say - seems that the weather describes the person the most. It was so windy and cold - basically as soon as the candle was lit, it was blown out. It was getting annoying. Now I have to brag XDD My daddy is the most caring one of all ^.^ Like I said, it was terribly cold weather and my dad gave me he's huge jacket. It was really warm, not the most lightest thing to wear, though. We visited my uncle's house, although he wasn't there, and finally got in touch with my other cousin, the athletic one. She is quite the opposite of me but I still really liked talking to her. She is like the big sister I never had ^.^ After we went back to my grandpa's apartment which still feels kind of empty without him and do you know what I found out, he missed me a lot. He had this photo album full of pictures of me when I was little. Let's just say that my mom and grandpa didn't exactly get along. I know he loved her and was proud of her but he was the most stubborn man ever :) Anyways, mom and dad did a little clean up work and got a lot of stuff, I, on the other hand, collected momentums of my dear granny and grandpa.
The next morning we drove to Sõmeru (also in the north of Estonia but more to the west XD) where I got a job XD Actually, my great aunt (married to my granny's brother, mother side) needed me to add an advertisement for these amazing curtains she made. And it was really nice seeing her ^.^
After we hurried back in town because I had to get ready for Akira's birthday and also did a little make-up for Yuki.
That's what Yuki looked like. I would add a full look but I think that Yuki would kill me XDD
And my overall look ^.^ TT was overly impressed about it (EGO BOOST XD) and I guess it wasn't that bad XD Bitch Natsu!
The party itself? I have no comment. We went out bowling, ate a little and watched a scary movie which wasn't scary, Red Riding Hood and some other movie which was kind of grouse but I fell asleep XD or at least tried because there was someone in the same room who just couldn't control his voice and kept me up until 5:30AM. Nice huh? Not the best first impression. It was the first (and hopefully the last) time I'm going to see him. To sum up, the party was okay ^.^
So, the March 7th and 8th were two days when the teachers were on strike. To us, students, it kind of meant two extra days off XD What did I do? On the 7th I went shopping with Yuki. Something that you don't see everyday XDD Yeah, I buy things but usually online because the prices in Estonia are depressing. Anyways, I got new jeans, 3 tank tops, a thingy for my phone, fake eyelashes + glue, compact powder and maybe something else too XDD And on the 8th we celebrated the international woman's day ^.^ Dad bought me white roses and yellow ones for my mom. In the evening me and my mom just sat down, drank whine, ate cake and chatted.
Our little table ^.^ Don't ask why there are two spoons beside one piece XDD I guess it has something to do with the picture taking XDD
And on the next day, we got a magnificent surprise. The senior class made a little performance for all the females and then they asked form 12B and 12A girls to stay and all the boys came out with little flowers and gave them to all the girls. It was so sweet ^.^
On that Saturday I went to MS's birthday. I got her a ticket to Poets of the Fall and some other stuff and of course she was thrilled since POTF is her ultimate fave (since 2008 XD). We ate and drank a little. Played Alias which ended with a fight between the lover. Sad :( During the night they were so sweet together but yeah, lovers fight, never good. Anyways, whey the couple disappeared me and the other party guest started dancing randomly and chatted in between. If life gives you lemons, you have to make lemonade XDD Anyways, MS said that they made up and everything is okay now ^.^ Let's just say, out of all the guys MS has dated, MJ (not Michael Jackson XD) is the best for her and I always have been and always will be team MJ XDD.
Anyways, there are a lot of school days between and then we reach to the last weekend before my birthday which I will elaborate next time.
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^
PS. No matter how much I add American songs here, I'm still passionate about Asia ^.^
I should get a prize for being the worst blogger ever XD Okey, I'm exaggerating, but I have been slacking off for... 2 weeks and 4 day, shameful.
So, I'll pick where I left off - the class wedding.
To be completely honest, I'm not so impressed with the wedding. I think the bridal shower was sooo much funner than the actual wedding.
The wedding ceremony was hilarious, not the traditional one. The priest was just the right choice. Since I was the maid of honor I'm on every ceremonial picture :S It's awful, my every expression is on display XDD So, some of the pictures for it (the pictures aren't in chronological order)
The groom reading the vows. They were the only couple who had written their vows. The other bride was winging it and the groom was repeating the priest's words - that was the most hilarious part of the ceremony XDD. And do you see my face? I hce no idea what I was thinking XDDD
I know what's wrong with me here - the ring, his putting on her finger was weird orange plastic one but it did match with the ribbon around her waist ^.^
And the final words form the priestl. Yes, he is the one with the longest hair XDD
XDDD
And the kitchen staff :)
Of course the cake ^.^
With Marks on the left and with TT on the right :)
Yeah, I'm missing heels XDD
After came the eating part. We ate the salad and other delicious things that we made that morning. Oh, and I forgot to tell you guys, that on that Fiday (February 24th) was the Estonian Independence day ^.^ Got up early, went to the parade, wore an awful hat and held balloons.
Swiped the picture from Yuki's blog ^.^ - look like a nigga XD
That day, I felt like Estonian. And to be honest really proud but kind of teary. I don't know why though XDD But yeah, it was the first time I took part in that parade :)
Anyways, the wedding. The games that we played there were fun and but after those everyone went to their own corner all around the house and formed little groups. That bothered me the most and one of the reasons I think that bridal shower was better. There we partied more together had nice clean fun ^.^
On the last day of Feburay I had a mock exam in Estonian. OH DEAR! On the question part I did really good but on the essay...let's just say I hacve had better ones XDD But I PASSED THE EXAM XDDD To be honest, with Estonian exam I have always had very small expectation, so passing is a big victory for me ^.^
After 6 hours at the exam, I met up with MS and we went ice-skating and basically walked all around Viljandi. We made up, talked about love and just caught up. We don't see each other that often, so there is always a lot to talk about ^.^
That weekend was...fast, I think is the right word :D But I'm leaving it for another post XDD Sorry, guys ^.^
XOXO Natsumiiiii ^^
PS. I love that guy's voice who starts to sing at 0:48.
So, yeah, I have been watching Revenge and most of the people, including my mom, are in love with the guy named Daniel (played by Joshua Bowman).but I prefer Nolen, that guy in that video. He has more wits and I recently found out that he is gay or at least bi - short to say he slept with a guy. But he still he's cute. I mean look at that video ^.^
But more about my exciting week which gave me a "party girl" title. As you all know, I was involved in the class party - planned a bridal shower and then ended up in the kitchen staff of the the actual wedding party. To be completely honest, towards the finish line I got pretty tired of this all thing and wished it could be already over.
But let's start for the beginning. It all started on the 23rd. That school day was shortened because the day after was Estonia's birthday ^.^ So, I got home around 2PM XD and met up with Yuki, since on Friday it was the wedding and there was tons of stuff to do. I don't exactly remember what we did that day except for the French fries that Yuki made because I freaking out about the bridal shower that night. A little after 5PM I had to leave Yuki at the bus station because Marks (former MP) her boyfriend were picking me up, so that we could do some last minute shopping. And thank god he drove us there. The weather was AWFUL. It's was raining god know's what and the snow was melting and few steps and Marks complained that her boots were drenched but not mine XD I have some really good boots, maybe not the most attractive but good ones ;) (can be seen in Competition). So, when we FINALLY got to the party location, my classmates M-K's place, we put final touches on the plan and took care of the snacks and the guests arrived oh so soon but both of the brides were late XD
My outfit of the night
+ some more pictures.
Before the storm XD Look, how calm I seem to be XD That is a nervous smile, guys. And I had that on most of the time during that night XDD
Somewhere towards the end of the little house party. Me and the girls - MAÜ, me and LO in full glory. I hope that LO isn't going to hate me XD She has a clever smile here, I would say XDD
I have to say - this picture is special. I hardly smile like THAT on photos. I'm over looking the fact that my bangs look awful (or at least I'm trying to XD) - Me, LO and KK.
Somewhere, during the night, Marks asked if people were enjoying themselves and they all said that it was fun, well planned and on topic. The weight dropped off of my shoulders when I heard that and, I have to say, it was the first night in my life when I went to a club. And my first reaction? Well, the fist 15 minutes was slow. There weren't many people there but more towards to the end it lived up and I started to have fun. MP even said that when we (most of the bridal shower guests + one of the bride) went on the dance floor everyone started to dance XD And it was great just to let loose, even if it was just for a little while.
I got home somewhere around 1AM.
For the moment, I'll stop here and continue on the next post which will be soon, I PROMISE ^.^
So, today isn't a regular Tuesday but Shove Tuesday XD And I'm having a....don't know the right adjective to describe it.
In the morning I felt rather bad. I thought about staying but I have been absent too much + I needed to collect some money. I sound like dept collector XDD But actually, it's not that bad. I'm just one of the few who are planning the bridal shower for our class wedding and we need kind of entrance fee because the party is on Thursday.
Oh, I haven't talked to you about the class wedding. So, where I'm form it's tradition to choose a girl and a boy from the same class and marry them. Not officially of course...well, the priest himself is chosen among us, so yeah XD And since we have such a huge class we chose two grooms and two brides. Everyone plays a part in the wedding, some are just family members, we have a wedding singers and I happen to be the maid of honor for the more likable bride. The other one was so desperate that she had to be the bride and she asked EVERY SINGLE GUY in my class to be the groom. Come on, if no one wants you then give up and be somebody else but finally she guilt RP to agree. -.- Anyways, since I'm one of the brides maids I needed to plan a little get-together ^.^
And, Shove Tuesday is a pretty big deal in Estonia, so, today I had 5 lessons plus activities after. I'm trying to spend as much time with my class as possible, so yeah, I took part in those after school activities - tug-of-war XD Yeah, maybe not the best choice but I had fun EXCEPT for the fire in the muscles. We were third and there were 6 classes, so not that bad. It was kind of funny, I have to say. In the first tug all the guys in front of me (there were 4 girls and 4 boys in one team) fell on their butt XDD But, yeah, it was slippery as hell and towards the end I started to fall too because my legs were starting to shake. But third place, hell yeah XD!
So, when I finally got home. I fell dead on the bed XD And slept for a little over two hours. After that I went to pick up a package from Oriflame and got some new things.
One of those things were nail art kit, with what I created this (the black I owned before).
And I also tried out a little make-up but only the white eyeliner and the make-up brush was new. My mom liked the left eye better than the right but, like always, I like the other one XDD
And I got an invite to Akira's birthday party. The theme is cosplay and I'm thinking about being Katherine Pierce form Vampire Diaries. I'm pretty excited about that ^.^
I also thought about cutting my bangs again. I found a little inspiration browsing the net.
I love this bangs. I like that is not so short and if I don't like it. It could grow out faster and it's easier the put aside than the usual bangs. Plus, it looks GREAT! I hope it looks that good on me as well. I need to consult with the hairdresser. Oh, I'm not going to cut the ends because hairdressers little is my a lot and I really like the length but since I want to do Kathrine's cosplay I have to cut after Akira's birthday.
Okey, my lovelies. I should really go to bed now. Sweet dreams ^.^
So, guys, what do you think? Which one is the best...
this?
or this?
I kind of prefer the new one XD It's more attractive and has a little bit of me in it ^.^
But about the title and the new theme - masks. We use them to hide our true emotions to get by easier. Here I don't have to pretend. I can be here as mad as I want to be at my Estonian teacher or tell you about I love-love-love Jungshin without looking awkward XD
So, about other stuff. Social studies test was easy, especially when my brilliant class knew all the right answers before the test. I just had to memorize them XD And Math test was easy also. Nothing too hard. And on Friday new period started, our last. And Natsu got more responsible XD Anyways, I just started taking my homework more seriously, like with Biology. Usually the teacher gives us couple of pages to read and I have never even opened the book before the test XD Haha, I'm making progress.
And on Friday, guess who came over? Of course Yuki did - like every Friday - and we went to the bank walked all the way to the gas station called Premium (I always forget that name XD), got couple of burger and went back home where we had a little argument but we fortunately made up and went home as friends. It was a rather short visit because I was babysitting that night.
So, I did her hair. She said that since she is 5 years old, she should have 5 braids XD
Oh,I hurt my hip + knee skiing. Haha, everytime I decended on a hill I screamed: "I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" and me and MP skiing is more like laughing and listening to the ground if the cowboys are coming, if you know what I mean XDD.
On Saturday - Vindictus, Akira and Math. Of course I'm the most excited about the first one because the second one has relationship problems AGAIN and the last one...well, my brain got short circuited and my mom, who just happens to be a Math teacher, couldn't solve it either and to top it all off it's one of the final exam questions. You have no idea how assuring that is XDD. Anyways, Vindictus is pretty awesome. I have two characters at the moment. I have played two days (Saturday night and Saturday) and one of them is at level 10 and the other is at lever 15 if I'm not mistaken. I know it's bad XD.
So, next week will be quite different and I'm going to tell you about it when it arrives.
Good night, my darlings ^.^
So, without long and pointless intro, I'll cut to the chase XD
Last post I did on...Wendsday, so the first thing and the most important thing is that for THE first time in MY life I went to an opera or went to see it or....what ever XD Anyways, had a long day at school. Okay, maybe not that long but 6h before I got home to change and wash-up. But before, me and dad went to the store. I got too pick up some food for school and other snacks. I think, you all know that I don't eat in school but lately I have more and more. That's not the point XD
Anyways, I found out that sometimes I'm a regular woman XD When I needed to get ready, I needed more that 2 hours XDD Okay-okay, it's not that bad because I also ate, put my bag together and did other stuff. Basically two hours before the show I had to be in the bus stop so my private bus could pick me up XDD There I met up with MP - she lives also in the city center, so it was easier to meet there. She looks really-really great but not really for the winter weather. (I'll add pictures)
Of course we had to stop at the McDonald's before we went to the theater XD But I have to say that Hesburger's chickenburger is better than at McDonald's. Anyways, the opera itself...
...well, it was definitely different XD The biggest surprise was that the two male leads were Asians. Well, to my dear classmates they were Japanese -.- Actually, it was Chinese and Korean. They were brothers in that play and they were separated at a very young age. The younger one (Chinese) was kidnapped by a gypsy who sought revenge for her mother who was burned alive. She wanted to do the same and throw the infant into the fire but, I didn't quite understand whether he felt sorry for the little boy or threw her own child there by accident, anyways, she ended up raising him as her own. The two brothers met because they fell in love with the same girl (go figure!) and almost killed each other but the younger one froze but when the elder one stabbed him, the "mother" savored him. The two brothers met again when their loved one almost became a nun but the younger one saved her and they were about to marry when the older one captured the "mother" and the younger went to save her. They ended up in prison. The girl send her love out to him XD and eventually traded herself for the younger one's freedom and drank poison. Then there was a REALLY long scene when she died and then the older one found out that and sliced his brothers throat and of course AFTER that the gypsy told him that, okay sang to him, that it's your bro. AND if you are wondering which opera I'm talking about it's the Troubadour (Trubaduur in Estonian).
The first part (until recess) went really fast. It's was like: "Hour already? XD" (Oh, I wish that Estonian lessons would go by that feast XD) Oh, I forgot to mention. The theater we went to was Vanemuine and it's located in Tartu (about 78 km east where I live ^.^)
From the left MP, HP and me ^.^ I really love my outfit and I have to say that MP is the tallest girl in my class so HP isn't the shortest one. And I'm wearing heels, which is very UNCOMMON with me ^.^ But I didn't fall or trip, so they are my best high heels XDD I graduated with them too ^.^
Towards the end of the opera, I sta rted to fall asleep -blush- but not that it was boring XD Just that not enough sleep + sixs hours in school + a dark room = sleepy Natsu ^.^
On Friday, I had a lecture at school. It was about the beauty of Math and then some stuff about informatics. In my opinion the first presentation was nicer but the second man talked better XD I think that one or two pictures throughout the presentation is goo and not every slide has to have at least one. And after, I met up with Yuki. We went ic-skating without the skates XD Just dragged our feet along the ice and chatted. It is always nice to see her ^.^ And on Sunday I went to her place and the new week begun.
Lately I have had a lot of firsts - first time I went to the opera and the first time (in 10 years) I went skiiing XD Yeah, let's just say first opera was better because I fell 2 times on my butt with skis XDD Yeah, I like moved 5 inches *thump* then another 5 and a hill came. Slinding-sliding *thump* HAHAHA! So yeah, the teacher spend the next hour teaching me different techniques in skiing. Thank god, I only have to ski 4 times to get a 5 and then I don't ever have to get on them again XD In a way, I and TT are different. She loves skiing and dislikes ice-skating, I'm vice versa XD I don't remember how many times I cursed skiing but let's just say that we are kind of frenemies XDD And of course after school I had to prepare for up and coming Valentines day. In Estonia it's kind of considered friendship day, so I folded flowers and made my bestest friend a "painting"
In my opinion, it's not the best one but my mom said: "Don't give that to Yuki, rather give it to me!" and dad said that it was beautiful AND the Yuki herself agreed with dad ^.^ I'm glad :)
And what she gave me! Some REALLY cute stickers, then some delicious cookies and this...
I think it's the most original idea ever and it looks so awesome and next to my "painting" the best thing ever.
On Tuesday, I had another test in Music class, even harder one, and today it was Physics test and tomorrow Social studies and Friday Math...OH BOY! And to top that all off I felt so terrible today. I only went to school to do the Physics test and then I came home.
I have to say, I love the new camera with all the new gadgets and the sharpness and kind of like everything about it XDD But just wait couple of week, I will find a flaw XDD
I don't have a Tumblr account but I found someone else's and that chick is nuts!
http://thinspiration-for-those-who-seek.tumblr.com/ - the link is here if anyone is interested. Basically she admires bulimics and anorexics for their determination to be shinny. Like WHAT THE HELL! It's a disease and not a weight-loss-plan. And to top it all of she gives advice. Everyone asks her about their UGW (Ultimate Goal Wight) if their height is this and that and in her opinion, I, if I'm 175, should weight 48 kg. That is obviously too little. And the worse news is that little 13 year olds follow her (or what ever you do on Tumblr) but fortunately, she has decency to tell them that they are still growing children.
Surely, I want to be skinnier than I am but I wouldn't take ridiculous goal weights and starve myself. And especially when I'm in school. My brain just wouldn't function when I don't eat and if I will reach that UGW that she recommended none of my clothes would fit XDD
Okay, my darlings, I should go and rest now and hopefully I can go to school tomorrow
