The world stops turning for a day

The King of Pop, Michael Jackson has died.

This is an end of an era. He was and will be the artis of a lifetime, atleast for me. Let us remember him, not for his scandals, but for his genius music, his controversial and clever coreographies and the fact that he was just plain glorius.

Since the Jackson 5 times, he has altered the field of music, influenced many artists , if not even all today. Thank you Michael for making our lives richer, making us aware of problems in the world before all others. Your legacy will live on for centuries, Rest in Peace "Maikkeli". You will be greatly missed.

Vacation

I've been in the eastern Finland for about two weeks now. I left my plastic covered home and came to stay here for my month long summer holiday. I've had my ups and downs here, but mainly it has been good.
I've stayed with my dad at our summer house, and now I'm staying with my mom. I'ts nice to see family but this 4 weeks in a row is proving to be a bit too much at times...;)


I've been thinking about the renovation, and still have to draw(yes I'll do it myself..omg) the blueprints of my kitchen renovation plans for the contractors. Hopefully that will be enough for them...I don't actually even understand why THEY need them, 'cause they have nothing to do with the kitchen part of the renovation. Weird. But they wan't them so I'll draw the blueprints for them.

This saturday I'm leaving to Stockholm with S, and last weekend we had a dog show in Seinäjoki...I drove 1400km that weekend, and I was exchausted after that. We had fun but it was really tirening. Stockholm should be fun! I'm just hoping that I won't spend too much money (as if...) like I usually do.

And 'cause I'm going to Helsinki this weekend, I'm going to visit my flat, and see what's going on there. I suppose atleast dust dust and more dust. But I wan't to take few pics of it's progress. 2,5 months to go, and after that we have to do the kitchen, so it will be near 3 months before I get to go back home. But I'm sure it's going to be worth it.Now I'll just try to relax, enjoy my summer holiday and hope for better weather!

Summer love

It's here! We've had a couple of days of pure heat in Helsinki. It was almost 30 degrees Celsius on the weekend. Perfect weather to gather up friends and go lounging by the seaside for the whole day.
Never mind the burned skin that's still itching! I'm about to leave Helsinki this weekend for over a month, so it was great to be able to enjoy the Helsinki summer a bit. I've been really feeling the summer this year. Previous summers it has felt like they just go by, and I haven't even noticed it but now I'm really getting a hang of it.

I've been packing my things this week. It's weird to try to think what I would like to wear for example in the beginning of September. It's going to be autumn then already! I feel like packing only summery stuff, so it's difficult to get my head around to think about warmer clothes. So far I've managed to pack one full BIG suitcase and a biggish bag of clothes and no end in site! I decided to pack everything that I feel like packing 'cause It'll be a agony to realize that I haven't packed something I would like to wear! So loads of clothes it is!
Three days to go, then it's bye bye. I'll be having an active summer so I think I won't get that bored...hopefully. I'll miss the opportunity just to call to a friend and do something with a short notice, but in a way it feels really nice to spend my summer holiday in my hometown. Now I'll just have to make that one big push and get everything ready before Sunday, so I'll have a nice new bathroom and kitchen when I come back home!
