JUST WHAT I NEED

Hey, I'm back from my midsummer's trip or well have been for a couple days and I'll post about that later on this week (PROMISE!). In the mean time you I just have to talk about this since it's a huuuuuuuuge deal for me.

As you are aware my family came back last week and I decided to pay a visit for them straight from my midsummer's trip as I couldn't imagine anything better than coming home to mom and some home cooked food (not that there was food really, it's okay mom) and just being around the family since I haven't lived with them since 2009. Granted my family is kind of all over the place, little brother outside the whole day coming in late, dad working overseas and so on. But at least there's my little sister mom and our dog so it's nice and peaceful.
I just decided to do this quick post as I stayed over Sunday and Monday night and hoping (fingers crossed haha) that my mom let's me stay over more often like this as it's a nice change up from Juho's and he's families home.

Oh and so I don't forget my mom is having a sale of her.....''interior stuff'' (sorry mom again) in Helsinki , cant remember the location...my god I'm horrible at this but I know my mom's selling at 10am-1pm on Sunday since I've promised to help her out there! Just check her blog it's on the left side here and if not i'll update about it during this week!




 

I can't get enough of her...seriously!

 

LOOKING FOR MYSELF

hey hooo. So today I've come to realize some thing's and I've had a very random day on my own here at home just thinking about stuff going on in my life right now. What I concluded from all this.....I want to be a more positive with what I have and stop worrying about stuff that I shouldn't let affect me and let loose, and what better time for this is SUMMER!
It's been a really gloomy last week with rain and what not, last week I met up with friends and my buddies I haven't seen for what seems like ages (all my friends studying and living overseas particularly), so that's where my week went and work. Oh, and of course on Friday we went with Niko and Juho to see A$AP Rocky at Circus and it was SICK!! 

I decided to make this post more summer heavy and oriented, basically pictures of me, what and where I have been during the sunnier days of this summer so far! and for everyone else I hope you guys can just reinforce on the positive in your lives and just make this summer just like you should make every summer never forgetful , take risk's, do dumb shit, have fun and best of all share that all with your loved ones! (p.s. my family is finally coming to Finland for the summer vacation this Tuesday, super stoked!)



As for this week it's midsummer on the weekend and as I said earlier, i'm heading off to Juho's cottage again with all my buddies on Thursday evening as Friday is a national holiday over here in Finland. I suppose i'll put my new found ''positiveness'' into full effect!



SUMMER WEEKEND'S AWAY

heeeelloooo!
Last weekend I spent my first weekend away from the city at Juho's cottage (mökki) in Orivesi near Tampere, and all I can say is, I really needed that! I love it, ever since I've been young I spent mostly all my summers at my own cottage and lately I haven't been going other than with friends couple times in the summer and  the occasional winter visit. I don't know why but I love being in the forest near a lake or sea where you get to grill your own food, warm the sauna with wood that you chop yourself, get water from the lake and just doing all the small chores that don't feel like chores at all. Of course being in my (eerhhhm) prime age we do unfortunately a lot of drinking there also but it's all part of the good times and memories (or whatever's left haha)

Other than being at the cottage Friday through Sunday, on Saturday we went to Tampere to meet up with a few friends and just hangout in general and enjoy the sunny day. We stopped for the necessary ice cream and just strolled through Hämeenkatu (main street in Tampere). I don't know what it is about Tampere but I really like it and I've been there only a few times! Anyways great weekend and can't wait to go back there in under two week's again with friends for Midsummer's (Juhannus).

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DAY'S SPENT HERE ARE NOT BAD

I want to begin off and say sorry I haven't posted anything for ages, I've been so tired after work and I went to town one day to spend the day and actually yesterday went golfing for the first time this year!
So that got me thinking that maybe I should show you all what it look's like where i'm working this summer!

Since I work at a golf course it is actually quite nice place to work. It is called Master golf in northern Espoo next to Bodom's lake. It features two golf 18 hole courses, one named Master and the other Forrest. Here's some quick pictures of the clubhouse, and the two course's themselves. There was a lot of player's around on this sunny day because of a tournament, the course hold's all kind's of tournaments almost every week. Oh, and I work as a course maintenance person (I think I have mentioned this), basically I take care of the course itself and all that it hold's and some other miscellaneous work.

GROWING OLD IS MANDATORY, GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL

hey everyone!

I've had a terrific week so far, Tuesday was my birthday and I want to thank everyone who congratulated me and I'm going to have to admit I haven't laughed that much for a while regarding some of the birthday wishes and how umm I guess original you'd say they were haha. My dad was here for a business trip so he surprised me and asked for a quick dinner and we just caught up and had a good talk, I don't get to talk to him a lot naturally since my family lives overseas and he travels a lot but when we do talk he has many good pointer's and life lessons that you just cant ignore!

As for yesterday I went out with all my buddies to Cuba, it's a great place and I recommend it to everyone my ageish. There I met and saw tons of other friends and people I haven't seen for age's so it was just the perfect way to spend my birthday with friend's and since I haven't gone out in a while.
Here's just some pictures of me hanging out after work with Juho and taking in the sun on the terrace and my outfit for Wednesday night.
I have a day off work today and tomorrow back to work then it's the weekend, so I'll get back to you hopefully by then! Have a good one.

MEN AT WORK!

Now for something more current, so this weekend was my first here with Juho and his family. I have some exams still left for school even though I don't have school anymore so i didnt do anything too wild and the first week of work really drained me (passing out at 11 on both Friday and Saturday night!). 
Me and Juho came up with a plan to go buy some shoe shelves from IKEA and build them up as we both have shoes lying around all over our rooms haha. The sun also decided to show up in the evening so we went out to work on this project. Other than that not much to add this weekend, just took it easy, worked out, studied and so on. It's my birthday Tuesday so I got something nice lined up for Wednesday after my exams hurr-ay!



Even Juho's dad was out working on the roof

MY DOMAIN

Hello, so as I mentioned before, this summer I'm back in Espoo living with my friend Juho and his family. However I have my own place in Porvoo where I study, a student apartment to be exact and I have a roomate who we share the apartment with if you will. It's split up so that when you walk in we have a shared entry way where is the bathroom/shower and a small closet and then we each have our own rooms and then a shared kitchen.
I made a point of trying to make my room as cozy as possible for me, as moving into a new city and not knowing anyone i could have my little retreat where i could be comfortable atleast (not a knock on Porvoo i'm enjoying it with or without the room!). So of course i had  to decorate the place nice as possible and I have lived previously on my own so i had a good set of furniture and other textiles to decorate it!

However keep in mind it is still a sutdent apartment and theres a certain amount i'm allowed to do to it (the shelves on the wall are not allowed haha) and it's not the greatest, but it's home and people told me especially girl's that it looks much better than their apartments!




I bought the table from IKEA right before i moved in

The cabinet on the left is also from IKEA since i couldnt fit all my clothes into the shared closet haha.

 

 

 Sorry for the fact that the picture's are so dim, i dont like big ceileing lamps and like to keep it abit darker as it's more cosy especially in the winter when these photos were taken. However i do love sunligh and when it shines in, dont get me wrong! I'm planning on switching up my room and the position of the furniture when i get back to Porvoo in August/September. I can't wait!
