Nousee hinnat, laskee laatu, kiitää vuodet niin
Viime vuonna kesän jälkeen tuli syksy ja hetken aikaa käväisi talvikin. Sitten tuli taas kesä ja syksy ja talvi, joka muistutti lähinnä syksyä, ja niiden jälkeen uusi kesä. Nyt on syksy, mutta muutaman viikon kuluttua koittaa kesä. Kesän jälkeen tulee talvi ( Read more... ) -
It's a beautiful day
San Francisco, what a city! It's a pity having to leave so soon. Four days is not nearly enough to see and experience this place, but I suppose I can always come back.
Less than two weeks left of my trip now, and I can't decide if I'm more happy or sad about it. I'm really looking forward to getting back home and seeing my friends, but at the same ( Read more... ) -

Cider. It's so good for you.
Especially in good company. Which there is aplenty tonight. O, happy day! -
Ni hao
Just a quick note from H.K. to let you know that I LOVE THIS CITY!! OMG! There'd be so much to tell you, but I only have a few minutes on the computer and there's already someone waiting to get here, so. Besides, I don't really have the patience to type much on this keyboard, as the keys are marked with Chinese characters only, and I can't find all ( Read more... ) -
Down from the door where it began
Sixteen more hours and I'm off! I don't feel nervous anymore, just anxious to be on my way. And excited!
Less than twenty-six hours to Hong Kong, and a mere week to Auckland. And whither then? I cannot say.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can. -
What can you see on the horizon?
I've packed away most of my things, and my flat looks hopelessly desolate. I'm torn between wanting to go right now and staying home, where everything is familiar and safe. I hate waiting. I'm not good at it. I'm afraid that if I wait for much longer I'll lose my nerve completely. I think it matters little how many miles or how many days, weeks and ( Read more... ) -
I'm driving only three wheels these days, but my dear, how about you?
Guess who forgot to call her doctor to get her test results.
Well done, you!
Most likely it's nothing too serious, or else I'm sure they would have called me themselves and told me to check myself into a hospital... But how could I forget to call? Damn.
In spite of my faulty brain, I somehow managed to find a decent lodger to come live in my flat ( Read more... ) -
Seein' things that I may never see again
Guess what? I asked that redhead in my Swedish class out today! We're going out for a cup of coffee/tea on Friday after she gets off from work, and I feel really good about myself for finally managing this much. After all, it only took me three months.
She's sooooo pretty! *sigh*

It's nearly Christmas again, and this time next month I'll be in ( Read more... ) -
En valtaa enkä kultaakaan
Happy Thanksgiving!
We don't celebrate it here, but I have a lot of things to be thankful for and hope that you do too, so happy Thanksgiving, hyvää kiitospäivää!! -
Oh, happy day
More snow came today, and I went from 29 to 6 in a heartbeat!
One of my all time favourite things to do is to go out when it's snowing and simply stand there amidst the whirl of feathery snowflakes. It's like being inside a gargantuan glass snow ball.
I've also been in a sandstorm. An interesting experience, I must say, albeit a non-recommendable one ( Read more... )
