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...
