My first love...



Helsinki Railway station



Havis Amanda



Helsinki.

It was love at a first sight. Hungry, desperately love, like teenage lust usually is. Too many feelings to share and Helsinki did that to me and it still does. It’s home and lover in the same time. It’s fullmoon in the dark sky, when i walk to the railway station at middle of the night. It’s autumn rains, inside of the bus I can see how the lights are reflecting on puddles.

I love many places in Helsinki, many bars, many coffees, but i didn’t have enough time to go them all this week so you’re going to get - visiting tour guide - only for few.

She had amber eyes..

I had fun with my old pictures yesterday. Photoshop is nice toy. In this picture, I mixed two pics, one from my final work at my art school and other one just some leaves. Today going to Helsinki to meet my other family and to eat the second Easter dinner.

I miss taking photos and actually doing some art stuff, nowadays I just breath art and watch how my other half draws potraits of me. I need see more art galleries, need to explore every place with new artist and enjoy. Enjoy. It's the main thing.

Tomorrow going to see my beloved city; Helsinki. Going to my favorites bars and cafes. Seeing the city and feeling something really strong. Helsinki is mine.

Glimpses of London

Morning's first tube. Sky is still dark and the moon is like New Yorks cheese cake; full and creamy. Outside, sun is starting to shoot it's first shines to this amazing city. This mornings is London's morning, it's not like in Finland. It's warm, but the birds aren't singing 4am. nor the lights are bright enough.

These are glimpes from London.

Writing place: Piccadilly line
Time: 4.35am.
Mood: Excited

Heathrow here I come!

Tomorrow I will be going to Finland! I have one week off from work and this girl is going to see her friends and family! So excited about it! Today I finished work really early around 4pm. went to buy some gifts for my family and friends. Now just packing and tomorrow going to leave like 5am to Heathrow and hopefully it’s working. Haha I have still traumas about last xmas, when my flight was canceled and I tried get home desperately! Luckily I got flight for a xmas eve, it was expensive, but it didn’t matter when the only thing in my head was that I need to get home on xmas. I didn’t want to spend my xmas with my Aussie roommates who ate seafood on xmas and got wasted.

Week before xmas in London was weird, it literally snowed like hell in here. The only week when we had snow in here and it was just that week when my flight was, but I should complain because so many else’s flight was canceled as well. Actually one friend family had canceled flight as well and they said that I can spend xmas with them, but then I saw them in Finavia, they got flight on the same day as me!

Okay, but right now London is a summerland and going to freeze in North tomorrow.

Good night London xx

London is a wonderland

Someone says that London is a wonderland. Everything is possible here they say. City is full of opportunities. Lights are brighter, skyscrapers are higher and women are thinner in here. Some parts are true, but there’s so much more to tell. How the sun shines first time after rainy winter or how I felt when that gas meter guy entered the room while I was still sleeping.

 I could tell how I got in a bar being a VIP or how I met quite well-known artist, but the fact is that those moments weren’t highlights of my life, they were just a moments, maybe good, maybe okay, maybe bad.

People work hard in this city and seeing Big Ben the fiftieth time is not glamour. It’s a life. And like everybody else’s life, the small moments are those which counts most of happiness.

And I’m going to tell u about those moments.

This morning, sun was shining to my eyes, while I was drinking my fresh mint tea at our favorite café. All the waitresses know us and they laugh when we order the same things everytime. I promised to have a breakfast with my ex roommate and her boyfriend. They were planning moving back to Sydney on this autumn. They said that they missed their families and the lifestyle. London is too serious for Australian people. I have lived with many Aussies and they all have had this laid back attitude! I know it’s a cliché!
