not sick

anymore. Just to let you know. Summer is just so busy and so is work. No time to write.
Hope to see you all soon!

Sick sick sick

I can't stand being sick. I was feverish for like 5 days just past. Today I finally went to work for fear of losing my mind. It took me one day to figure out what is on the TV at what time during the day. Mostly nothing that is. And they even play the same songs on the music channels at the same times everyday. Unbearable. And reading was mostly too strenuous for me so I just ended up doing nothing. And I just can't stand doing nothing 5 days in a row. Well, we did have a housewarming party on saturday. I was just out of it most of the time. First I was hungry and then tired and then I ended up running around and that was certainly not a good idea. I was so dead on sunday I had to stay home on monday as well. Well, I lost my voice totally so it was all the same. And now after my first day back at work, I come home and have a headache. All this lying and sitting around has not been good for my back and neck and now I'm paying for that. I should really just take a pill for it but I've been popping painkillers for 5 days and I really am trying to stop. All I need is some exercise and I'd be fine, but I can't very well go to the gym as I still need to sneeze every ten minutes and would propably just end up sick and in a fever again.
I can't even believe I got sick. I never usually get sick. Except it seems at this time of year. Last year I was sick at this exact time as well. I must have some weird virus dormant in my body that wakes up from the sun and gets me every year now. Hate it. Although I do find viruses very interesting.
Enough complaints. Work is OK, but very busy. Jaakko is back, which is nice. Summer is here and I'm looking forwards to everything I have planned. Kayaking, Provinssirock, Midsummer at a cottage with friends, Pori Jazz, a friend's batchelorette party, their wedding, and possibly australia, which still needs so much planning and actual ticket buying. And I hope to go diving as well. Just that "little" problem with the wetsuit I never got and will have to go buy a new one. So lots planned. I hope to see all my friends and family a lot during the summer. So visit and we will try to make it as well.
later!

Working late

It was 10 minutes until the bus and then the project manager comes in and says we are starting a meeting and I'm needed. So here I am at 6 o'clock. The bus leaves in 10 minutes. I really don't have brain activity anymore so this won't make any sense.
I ran the 10 kilometers if anyone is still wondering. It was quite nice actually. And running with a friend is nice. I really did win myself there. I thought I'd never be able to run/jog more than 1 km and here I am planning to go run 15 km in a week or two.
It's unbelievably hot outside and I'm stuck at work when I should be out enjoying the sun and wearing just a bikini.
I think I'll now go to the bus stop 5 minutes early just because it's the last bus and if I miss it I'll be stuck here for the night. And I never took it so I am quite anxious about this.
Later!

Still alive

Has it really been 3 months since my last post. I seem to have been busy. Busy moving to our new flat, busy at work where I used to write these things and busy missing my love who has spent most of the time abroad (and me at home). We did have time for that lovely ski trip though. I'd like to concentrate once more on what I am planning, instead of the boring stuff I do day to day. Although I am getting along quite nicely alone too. My work friends are coming over tomorrow for a sort of housewarming party. Good reason to invite them over. Most of the people who didn't come to my graduation are coming so that's really great. Really it's going to be quite a party. Looking forwards to that. I just got some posters up on the walls and this place is starting to feel like home. Of course, Jaakko is not here, even though he is constantly talking to me over Skype. I like second opinions.
I decided to do something crazy. I enrolled in a 10 km run "Naisten Kymppi". So now I have started jogging. First just at the gym for long warm-ups but today I went for an actual 7 km run with friends. Very interesting. I actually jogged the whole way. Not fast or anything, but it's a start to a shining career. And the run is in a month so I need to get in shape for that. For those of you who don't know I have always said I hate running. Basicly because it is boring. But I do find it is a nice way to clear your thoughts. And hence it is not so boring anymore. I tried running 3 years ago when I bought my lovely Asics shoes from New York, but I didn't really hit it off with the running thing. But now I have a goal. This shall be interesting. And it's going to be real good for slimming my thighs (is that how you spell is, I don't know, looks weird).
Anyhow, now I should be going to sleep, but I think I feel to energized because of the run. Got some stretching to do though. At the same while I can read my book. Shall be getting to that now. I started reading the Magicians Guild I am hooked. And almost finished with it as well. :)
I hope someone is still checking my blog for updates...

Here we go again

Long time since my last post. Sorry 'bout that. It just seems like nothing ever happens to me worth writing about. I suppose that fact in itself might be writing about, but I haven't bothered. I just feel like I'm on the verge of great change all the time. I suppose it's coming. Soon we will have to move, I have to start getting used to living alone several weeks of the year with Jaakko on his business trips (in Korea now... South Korea), I think I will start my diving course today. If they take me. Of course I have to start it alone and not with my love since he is on his trips so much. Should make some new friends hopefully so that doesn't feel so bad.
I think I'm finally getting out of my "end of studies" social slump. I just didn't see anybody that much. Now I try to be in touch with my friends more. And relatives. I went to see my cousin Päivi and her son Jarkko on saturday. Cute little kid. He had so many toys I couldn't believe it. And most of them cars of course. It was nice to talk to Päivi as well. I think I shall be visiting her some other day soon. And my party is coming up. I hope lot's of people show up. I've invited like everybody whose name I remember. ;) People just haven't RSVPd that much. That is, mostly them who can't make it have answered.
I even figured out what to dress as. Should be fun. Of course this needs to be kept a secret until u see the pictures or come to the party. It will be sexy and over the top with way too much make-up. :) I'm loving it already. And I should be able to put most of it together from my own wardrobe. perfect. And it came to me in a dream. Or perhaps in the morning or very late at night. I can't tell the difference really.
Time for lunch. Have a nice week everyone!!!

New stuff

So the year started here nearby Helsinki as well as anywhere else. I've been quite busy at work, so I haven't really had time to post. Now I'm sort of finished and tomorrow is the big meeting where I find out what I'm gonna do next. Exciting.
We were looking at appartments one day and found the perfect place to live. Right in the middle of Helsinki close to everything. A two-room flat with a sauna. I'm not going to tell you how dreadfully expensive it would be. But the thing is this company has just refurbished this old headquaters of a company into appartments. And they are all rental appartments. All new you see. And we so want one. Most likely we won't live there for that long with all the talk about moving to the states and all, but now is the perfect time. Everyday we check our mail hoping for news. The buildings will be ready in March so there's still time until our move. That is if we get an appartment there. The place would be perfect for dance game parties with sauna and all the bars close by. Wish us luck!
Bars. We went out last weekend. Jaakko had just sent his thesis to his instructor and he felt like partying. Since I wasn't against it, we decided to go. We started drinking at our flat and played some PS2 (my graduation present from Jaakko). Sly Raccoon and then Singstar. We're getting pretty good at the singing. I hope our neighbors think so too. Then we were off. Just the two of us. Jaakko tried calling some friends, but it seemed they were just spending the night in. We went to one bar to dance and then to another one. One of Jaakko's friends called us there. It was OK I presume. But the thing is, not really that great. So while talking about a center appartment and how easy it will be to go to bars, at the same time Jaakko (yes, he really said so) and I are actually not into clubbing that much. Sad really. We had more fun competing with each other on the singing game at home than at the bar drinking.
Oh, yes. I did make a new year's resolution. To save money. I spend way too much. I think I might be able to set aside like 700 euro a month if I really tried. So I'm gonna try.
On another note, I am now an Esprit Club platinum member. Guess where I get all my clothes from? ;)
Back to work...

Ready for X-mas!

I don't know if I've written already.... should read my old posts. Well, I've gotten all my X-mas presents already. I only had to buy one yesterday for my friend. Otherwise I was done alerady on saturday. A really good feeling about how everyone is just going to love our presents. OK so we spent some money on them this year. Next year everyone is getting socks again. ;) But since I'm earning money now it only feels nice to spread it around a bit on X-mas.
My favorite gym instructor was back yesterday doing the class she used to do. Just this one week though. And I was thinking of not going. Luckily I went cause it was nice. I have begun to wonder though about going to that Healthy Back-class. I seem to always be the fittest looking one in the class. and It doesn't help much that I am always in the front row. See the thing is I want to be able to see in the mirror that I am doing all the movements right. And were I at the back that wouldn't be possible. And I do have back problems, but that just doesn't show anymore now that my posture is a bit better. With hard work that is. So the thing is, I have started to feel like the people around me feel like I am just showing off at the class. This lady in the sauna was like asking these other women whether the class is meant for those who have a healthy back or for those who don't. Me being there might have something to do with this. I know I am now again thinking like the world revolves around me, but this is how I feel.
Even at the gym regularly I am quite fit looking compared to other people. I always thought that only fit people go to the gym, but it seems like the only really fit people there are the instructors. Weird really.
So should I stop going to the class? This lady yesterday was looking at me mean. I think she might have wanted my spot. And she was just the type that really needs that class. U know, not really in touch with her body. Maybe I should just go to the pumps and aerobics cause I would better blend into the people there.
I'll have plenty of time to think about this over X-mas. Really excited. Only like three ans a half work days, one dentists appointment and a long bus trip and X-mas is here. :)
