Yellow

Kotka + my new favorite cardigan + fall colors = simply love. 
Wish I could go back.

Instead I'm surrounded by my Finnish books and notes, and staring the white wall in front of me.

Happy Hunger Games!

One of my dear dear friend had the most awesome theme for his birthday!
I love theme parties and this is totally the way to do it. Big and flashy!
The Capitol from Hunger Games, so no further adieu here's the photo puke:

About happiness - Ollin Onni

It would be a huge generalization to say that I think most of the people know the feeling I’m about to start with. I could rather say that many people like me, people who are easily hurt and fragile, get easily stressed out and fervently miss people know what I’m talking about, when the whole world seems so heavy that all the colors seem grey. 

I know I’m using an enormous cliché. But it just describes very well how I sometimes feel like. For me it just means the inability to see beautiful and wonderful things around me. And especially for me, those things in many times depend on my eyesight and colors I see. Something very beautiful in its color makes me happy and vice versa. 

Because I have been past this autumn sometimes unable to see the beautiful colors around me, it was a wonderful feeling to go Kotka and see my best friend. All the colors around me suddenly came back and seemed so generous, even though I knew that the autumn colors in Turku were much brighter and richer. I even saw light blue, which I think is the easiest to miss as grey. And I was really happy to see again! 
We visited a lovely place called Ollin Onni! It has been a long long time since I have felt so surrounded my history and stories. It was almost as I could have heard all the lovely tales all those items had to tell us.

Lyhyesti suomeksi tällä kertaa:
Kotkassa vierailu sai mut pitkästä aikaan näkemään iloisia värejä, vaalea sininen yhtenä niistä. 

Ollin Onni upotti tarinoihin, joita kuvittelin esineille siellä. Pitkästä aikaan aikaan näin.

Little something

I think that the most important thing in this planet are us, people, and the choices we make. I think we are the problem and the solution to many things, and in order to influence us we have to gain more understanding of who we are, and try and influence on each other the best possible way.

By these two things I'm aiming at my ambitions as humanist. I really hope and someday I could influence and/or understand people little bit more than I do now. I wish that psychology and other human sciences could someday reach the level of natural sciences in explaining what we are and why. And at the same time I'm intrigued by the fact that we maybe never will understand ourselves as we do understand others. Little part of me wishes it would stay that way.

We know why rains starts, or the winter comes, or even more cliche, we know that the earth is not flat. We think we know how people around us are alike. Some are funny and some are shy, some are social butterflies, some are throughoutly evil and others have good heart. We think we know everything about what is happening around us, or think that we can someday know.  But what we in so many cases do not understand, or what is the most harderst to understand is who we ourselves are. It is easier to describe your best friend than say what kind of person I myself am.

I have always been hugely interested in people. I think they are the most facinating thing this world has to offer. They all have their past, their future, their present. Their ideas, emotions, opinions are all different and yet somehow most of them are right, in their own little universe. There is no right way to see the world, I guess. I wish that I could someday be part of someone's live through helping them as psychologist or influencing on their view of world by writing/photographing/saying something that made them feel something or think in new ways.Only time will so me will I ever do that.

Today I got selected as the editor of the school magazine, which for the first time in my time in that school, has as big group as it has now. Being selected made me think about Gilmore Girls' Rory and how I admired her in the series. I know that being the editor of our school's paper is nothing like being editor on American private school's paper or colleges paper, but I'm still proud to have this opportunity. And I'm really excited about all of this and that was what triggered me to write little bit more about what I have stuck in my head. I think that this magazine will be really cool, all the ideas in people minds which got out in our meeting, were amazing.

I'm really sorry about all the grammar and typing mistakes, I'm writing this in a dark bus on my way to Kotka and five star treatment with my best girl Kerttuli!

Tribal


 photo Pictures2_zps4d5e145a.jpg

I think I might have a curse. Or curses.
First of them is that I always take my camera with me where ever I go and then forgot to use it.
So this is all the publishable material I have from (even tho its not even from there) my classmates awesome tribal party.
And yes, the mirror was dirty, thats not my wonderful picture editing.

Palladium - ready for the fall

"Palladium- is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Pd and an atomic number of 46. It is a rare and lustrous silvery-white metal discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston. He named it after the asteroid Pallas, which was itself named after the epithet of the Greek goddess Athena, acquired by her when she slew Pallas."

And Palladiums are also my new fall shoes!
They chafe my heels, but I love them. Simply cute and just like me and what I needed after my old Lindex shoes started leak the fall inside them...

B-A-C-K

With no further intros, I'm writing again!
I know that the page, as it is now, is hipster(ish), and imprefect, but so am I.
I will of course change more things around when I feel inspired.

The topic of inspiration brings me to the next thing. I have some new guidelines/rules for myself and this blog and they go as follows:

1. I will not write when I don't feel like it.
2. I will not write if I don't have anything to write about/inspiration
3. I will write in English or in Finnish, depending how I feel like 
4. I will try to take better pictures, and sometimes post without them
5. I will write about random things, whether someone likes them or not :)
6. I will not write when I don't feel like it. 
7. I will write for myself.
