helloooo

So, everything possible has happened during the last days. I have been working for my thesis, the toilet broke, I ironed a hole to my work shirt(we can wear the new uniform starting next week Monday, and the hole can be covered with a cardigan, so no one can see it), the flat iron fell to the floor as I was ironing (10cm from my feet), it hailed as I went from the busstation to home, so I was totally soaked after I got home (its about 100m from the busstation to my house) and well... that was already enough negative things, right? :D

Otherwise the only thing that I am rooting for is the Finnish ice-hockey team. Their performance has not been the strongest during the IHWC but hey, I hope we are able to win USA in order to get to top 4! I seem to be the only one here (except my other finnish friend) who even knows that the ice hockey championships are happening right now. But who cares, my neighbours might think I am being beaten up or that someone has broken into my house since I get quite loud as watching the ice hockey games where Finland is playing. You middle-europeans, you just don't get how important ice hockey is to us Finns ;)

I got my lovely cellphone back two days ago. It was sent to be fixed since it turns off by itself. The guy said that they just downloaded the software new. Problems: my cell speaks only german, english and turkish. And since I have a cell which has a keyboard (the finnish one), my Y and Z have changed places, the Å has changed to Ü and all the special characters have changed places.... It might take a while that I learn where everything is, but if my cell turns off even once more, Im heading to the shop and buying myself a new cellphone.

To end my really mixed and "all-round" post, here a really cool video from Swedish House Mafia "Greyhound"

Saturday night

So, its Saturday evening again.... and what am I doing?? I'm learning and studying. Can't believe it myself either but hey, sometimes it has to be so. Only 6 weeks time till I need to give my master thesis for checking, and I have enough to do for another course at the uni. 

But hey, today it rained and it was so depressing. Yesterday was +30 degrees, we bought even ice-cream in Salzburg but that didnt help at all! At the balcony was SOOOO warm, we ate tortillas and watched how Finland lost against Canada in the IHWC (Ice Hockey Wold Championships). So this time, GOOOOO CANADA! 

I'll continue writing and working. Hope your Saturday evening is more interesting than mine  ;)

Fruit-ads, where??

Actually I wanted to post about this thing already yesterday but then I forgot it. Just came home from the grocerystore and as I was walking home it came into my mind again. 

Here in Salzburg, there is quite a lot of ads next to the roads so it is possible to see many different advertisements. A good example is on the other side of the street from my house, where they are building a new swimmingpool/swimmingarea, where people can go and relax but still stay in the city. Anyways, since they have to cover the buildingsite a bit, there are these huge ads. The thing is, and not only there but all around the city, that the ads are either about some cars, insurance company or my favourite, sweet snacks. I love chocolate, don't get me wrong but I find that everyone should look what they are eating that they also eat veggies and fruits. I started to think how many people want to get that chocoholate on the ad, and just run through the veggie and fruit section? There are no interesting ads to be seen in TV or on the streets where bananas, oranges, apples, cucumber or salads or what ever are presented so that when you see the ad, you want to buy them. Is it in our society self-explaining that everyone knows how healthy fruits are and that no ads are needed? On the otherside it can be read how people in different countries are getting more and more overweight. The funny thing which I saw in a document was that in the developed countries the amount of calories is really high but the caloriecontent really low. When a 3rd world country or less developed countries were looked at, the calorie amount was on a healthy level, even a little bit too low but then the caloriecontent (meaning vitamins, minerals, proteins etc) was very high.


I hope the reason for almost no ads about fruits and veggies is not only due to the profit-seeking companies producing these industrially sweetened "goods". For me the veggies and the fruits speak for themselves with their colours, different tastes and healthiness. Hopefully it is also the same with you guys!





 The ad's above are not anyways directed against the companies presented in the ads and the writer has no personal dislike against the companies!!

Good night!

Still working on a Sunday evening for my thesis... Started first later during the evening, so that's why I'm still working :) But anyways, added some new songs to my playlist in Spotify and I really like the one from Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars called "Mirror".

Nothing interesting to report about the weekend really. I've packed some of my stuff into a cardboard box which I am sending back to Finland. It's mostly just stuff which I wish to sell at the fleamarket. I have to say that when you are not planning to move anywhere or you are not in a situation where you just need to get rid of clothes, you don't realize how much stuff you have in you closet. RIGHT? :)

Anyways, underneath the song. Wish everyone a good night and a great start for the week. I have lectures tomorrow at 8.15am! And I'm gonna wear my new shoes, I'll post them tomorrow. 

 

Friday 4 May 2012

Good morning!

People, it's Friday again!! The weekend is almost here, just the last day of sitting in the classroom or working at the desk or what ever your workstation is! Then comes the weekend, which gives a nice break from the week and everyone can (hopefully) reload their batteries.

As I posted yesterday about my new top and necklace, the latter one comes into use already today. I don't really post that many pics of myself (I find those "stretch-your-arm-and-try-to-keep-the-camera-so-that-you-cant-see-it-in-the-picture" pictures really funny) since my flat is so small anyways that no matter where I stand there is some distraction behind me or you can't see me from head to toe, I've kept those pictures to minimum. Anyways, I managed to take one picture this morning from myself with my new necklace.


Since my lovely Nokia cell was quite cheap and it keeps turning off by itself(going to take it to the shop today or next week), the quality of the picture is not that good.

But anyways, enjoy the weekend. I'm gonna go work tomorrow and on Sunday its all about writing again. Have one chapter to finish and then I can concentrate on my practical part. In two months it is all over, can't believe that this feeling would ever reach me!

Shopping, again...

 So last week Friday I lost my control a bit at DM and ended up buying quite a lot of make-ups...

Here's what I bought:


I'm determined to learn how to make the perfect smokey eye :) And I'm also learning to use some lipstick, I love really dark red so that was a great choice. And those Balea-masks were so cheap (about 50snts) so even though they don't help, I don't mind.

Today I went to H&M to look for a dress for one of my best friends without result. The workers there were not even aware that they had such a dress, in other country that is. But after scouting the shop I found something for myself (of course, who would have expected that? :D)

Here's what I found:


Both of these were so cheap that I just couldnt left them at the store, end price: 15€ :)

I have my japanese mid-term tomorrow, its time to fight my flu and learn a bit.
