It’s been more than 10 years since I started school. It’s been almost 4 years since I started blogging. It’s been three years since I first candidated for the youth council, with no intention or idea of what I was going to do just a few years later. Today, it’s been 17 years since I […]

Proud
We were in the Vatican the other day, and we’ve been in Italy for almost a week now. There are a lot of old, beautiful churches in Europe, especially in the Southern parts. And now I’ve been to lots and lots of churches in my life, as a tourist, singing in a choir and just […]
Just tryna make it back home by Monday
It might be worth it, everything. That’s what I thought while driving to the bus station this morning after waking up my family. Even Elina was staying over, and since I’m the only one working, I left while they were still sleeping. The beautiful thing is that each and every one of the whispered a […]
Did I build a ship to wreck
When I was little, I was always thought about who those thin-haired, middle-aged, suit-and-tie business people with their small black portfolios, were. Now I know. I’m one of them, except for the thin hair, the fact that my passport says I’m 16, the tie-lessness and that the portfolio is a Fjällräven backpack. Yup, I’m traveling […]
In theory it’s okay
FSS and family-weekend behind. FSS new board had their first meeting in Helsinki, so I was stuck there from Friday to Sunday, going home to Porvoo to sleep, and on Saturday to celebrate the marriage of my cousin and his wife, and the baptizing of their youngest child. It was such a nice day! I […]
When you take that jump
Sometimes, the mailman delivers awesome things. 15 €, Ebay. Something I can not recommend: Working 23 hours without eating. And no, I don’t have an eating disorder, I’m just very stupid. I ate an ice cream and some youghurt at Emil’s place last night 11 p.m.-ish. And then I came home around midnight. And went to […]
Look at this photograph
ASDFGHjklkd. I’m going to miss this life so much whenever I grow up. I’m listeing to Photograph by Daughtry and I could be crying so much just because I know that this will be over one day. I mean, it all comes with some damn hard work, but I’m living the dream life right now! […]
Yeah we do what we do
Woke up too late. Ran to the bus. Caught the 7.45-one. Answered e-mails and put my make-up on in the bus. 8.45, arrival in Helsinki. Bought a take-away hot chocolate form PicNic. Headed to work. Found out that the photographers were all either sick or away or super busy. Started calling around to fix a […]
A little piece of steel
This morning, in the breakfast buffet, an older woman stepped in front of me in the line to the coffee machine. Now, I usually confront people that do this, but I had just woken up and sadly, I don’t speak any Russian, so I didn’t bother. Anyway, back at my table, I started waking up […]
Let’s toast to being alive, and for reasons to smile
Perfect Valborg and 1st of May! I’m at Emil’s place, and we just came back from a walk around town. Some Porvoo-friends showed up and we had some wine and some funnel cake. Great cathing up! I got all the gossip I’ve missed out on. Then we visited an outdoor party-place, but realised that there […]
