LAST WEEK

Hello!
Last weekend I managed to go out tonight's in a row, first on Friday we went to Tiger to celebrate Juho's birthday, then Saturday I went out with my co-workers to Summer heat and of course there was bunch of other friends as well present. Sunday was maybe the greatest day in a while. We went over to our old maid's place, Pook and she cooked us a wonderful Thai lunch that I've missed so much and afterwards at Juho's place he was celebrating his birthday with his co-workers and they had a barbecue, so naturally I ate a lot on Sunday.

yes we are aware of the double chin haha

 

As for this week, my holiday started with the ending of my job today! I have now three weeks of vacation which will include, going back to Porvoo to take care of tutor duties, Weekend Festival and our trip to Ayia Napa. Cyprus! I can't wait. Oh, and as for this week I've just mainly worked and managed to get in couple rounds of golf, anyhow I think I will take this weekend easy and just charge up my batteries for the upcoming fun! (sorry for all the blabbing haha).

 



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!



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!

WHAT COVER'S ME

I was thinking (and strongly urged by a few) to put pictures of what i wear since I did mention I like my own style. Im going to have to apologize for the amount of selfie's haha. So these photos are from last summer all the way till now and maybe will give you some insight of what i like to wear.

Looking through these photos I noticed a couple thing's, I really love sleeveless shirts and wearing something over them (especially during the summer). I recently got back into sweaters and I love wearing hoodie's to school and so on. Yes im style conscious but I still dont mind wearing hoodies and thinking ''damn I look good'' haha, oh and one day i mightfeel like wearing something preppy and then next something more ''urbanish'', so I don't like defying my style as something specific!
Last but not least, I am a shoe fanatic! I don't have alot of shoes (according to my fellow shoe addicts sister and older brother), the picture with my converse is from last year and yes I have even more pairs.
Sorry for some of the awkward poses haha, and you can find majority of these photos and more in my instagram @alberttoo.

 

 

On another note, I just started work this monday as a course maintenance guy I suppose it's called (kentänhoitaja in Finnish) at Master Golf in Espoo. All my work day's start at 6 in the morning, but guess what I already got used to it and enjoy it so far! I get to be out in the sun the whole day and do some manly work while driving around buggies and golf carts, it's great so far haha...but I'll try to work on pictures and so on , so I dont have to resort to old photos! 

so later people!

SCHOOL'S OUT, SUMMER IS HERE!

I'm officially done with my first semester of school! I maybe took a little head start on summer on Thursday already as my friend Juuso asked me to come to the USA-Russia hockey game in Helsinki. We had some awesome seats right on ice level, I never imagined I'd get a chance like that and there I was looking eye to eye some of the world's best!

Anyways, yesterday I officially moved back to Espoo to Juho's crib for the summer and Monday I'm starting my work at Master golf (6am!?). As for Friday we went out to party with some friends.

I'd like to post more pictures of what I wear (sorry for the selfies, need to get a cameraman haha) and stuff like that since I at least like my own style and especially summer gear! The shorts I'm wearing I bought already beginning of the year from Zara and I love wearing my ''sailor shoes'' almost everyday in the summer.

 

 

POLSKA!

As I mentioned I went to Poland with Juho to see my family for mother's day. My family has lived there four years now and I've gone every spring there to see them. I used this ''vacation'' as a time to get away from school since I'm back in the middle of finals and so on (school ends tomorrow, yay!). On our trip we did some touristy thing's, went shopping, and partied of course a bit. Juho has never been there so he really enjoyed it and I always enjoy seeing the my family.
Anyways I'm off to study and summer vacation officially starts tomorrow, later peep's!
