a day with friends

i didn't have anything special planned for this week's post, so here's another boring post about my life.

yesterday my friends came over. my parents were away and my brother was in his room 'cause he was sick. there were two of my girl friends and my two guy friends. also, one of the girls had her boyfriend with her, and this was the first time i met him. i thought he was really cool. they all came around twelve or one o'clock. we played a board game and watched a movie called v for vendetta. i've watched it once before and i really like it. then we just chatted and did nothing. one of the girls and her boyfriend left earlier than the others, and when everybody was gone, it was evening and my parents had come home. unfortunately, i didn't take any pictures...

sorry, this was boring and really short, but i'll try to have something more interesting for next week. ☮

dance

so here in finland we have a dance in college. i guess in america it would be called prom but it's not quite the same thing. first of all, only the second graders of college get to dance and if they don't want to, they don't have to. they practice dancing a lot at school and get dresses and suits and get their hair and makeup done. then on the big day, their families and friends, along with other students, can come watch them dance. it's not a party with drinks and disco music. they have a choreography including waltz and tango. anyway, i was there this friday because i had to take pictures for the newspaper. so i got to see my friends dance, which was nice! here are some pictures i took.

i love that pink dress. and yes i suck at editing...

that light pink dress was also very pretty ♥

this light blue dress was absolutely gorgeous. unfortunately, i can't use a camera properly and can't edit, so in this picture it looks different from what it actually looked like.

alright, that's all. hope you enjoyed the pictures. i desperately tried to edit them not to be as yellow as they were originally... and i failed horribly. which dress in these pictures is your favourite? i hope you have a lovely valentine's day whether you're single or taken! ☮

me over the years

in this week's post i'll show you what i've looked like over the years and how i've changed from baby to who i am today.

i was pretty normal and a satisfied baby. i smiled for the first time when i was one month old and laughed when i was about three months old. when i was born, i was 47 cm tall and my weight was 3560 g.

at 1,5-2 years old i ate a lot and fast.

i took my first steps when i was a little over one year old. apparently i clapped my hands in the process. my first word was "kaakuu" which meant swing or rock. other first words were "oho" (oops) and "kukkuu" (peekaboo.) i had a lot of otitis and had to have my adenoids operated.

in kindergarten i was an angel. i was calm and righteous. i already loved drawing at this age. i was social and talked a lot. i asked a lot about many things and i was interested in the world around me and wanted to understand it better. i sometimes even sat down and just thought about things, so i was already quite the same that i am now in that matter.

i remember not always being so righteous and i used to bully some kids when i was in kindergarten and in elementary school. i think i was influenced by some of my friends. i had especially two friends that i bullied someone with. i regret it deeply now. in elementary school i realised it wasn't okay to bully anyone and i remember one specific situation when i realised the people i was bullying didn't think it was fun. i thought it was a game and i was just playing. i thought they knew that and were just playing along. when i recently discussed this with my mum, she was surprised. she didn't know i had ever bullied anyone. 

i used to smile all the time when i was little. my aunt asked me how my cheeks were not hurting since i smiled widely so much.

in earlier grades at school, i talked a lot which disturbed the lesson and my classmates, and the teachers sometimes had to tell me to be quiet. otherwise, i was good at school, except for forgetting to do my homework sometimes.

i've always been kind of boyish. i don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that many of my friends were boys. from first grade to fourth grade i was the only girl in my class. in this little village i live in, the kids my age are all boys, so i grew up playing mostly with boys. i didn't want to be a princess, i wanted to be a troll or a prince.

i loved birthdays. i liked when my relatives and friends all came to visit and i got a lot of attention. and of course i was excited to get presents. it was fun to see all my relatives together in my home, because my dad's family is large and they live all over the country, so some of them don't see each other that much.

dem teeth tho.

fourth grade.

sixth grade. after fourth grade this village's school had to shut down and we had to switch to another school which was nearby. at this age i was shy and it was hard for me to make new friends. eventually though, i got a few friends and the two years in the new school were fine.

and that's all old photos i could find that i'm not so embarrassed to post. i hope you have a great day. ☮

top 5 youtubers

youtubers are some of my hundreds of obsessions. i've made a list of my five favourite youtubers. there are many more that i love that aren't on this list. this is only my opinion and not an actual competition of which youtubers are the best.

troye sivan

troye is an australian 19-year-old guy, who loves singing. he has quite recently released his own album named trxye. he is also an actor and has played the main role in the movie spud. he makes vlogs, funny videos, challenges, q&a's and of course, singing videos. personally, i love him a lot and he's one of my absolute favourites. i think he was the first youtuber i subscribed to.

jenna marbles

jenna "marbles" mourey is an american woman. she's 28 years old and makes funny videos. she swears quite a lot in her videos. sometimes she rants about things that annoy her or just tells about her life, but mostly it's sarcastic funny videos and "tutorials". she is also one of my absolute faves and i love her straightforward personality. she has two lovely dogs, kermit and marbles.

danisnotonfire

dan howell is a 23-year-old brittish guy who makes funny videos. he often tells embarrassing and awkward stories of his own life. watching his videos is fun and brings a good mood.

amazingphil

phil lester is a brittish guy who is 28 years old. dan is his best friend which is why they live together. he makes very similar videos to dan and they make a lot of videos together, too. phil is a very sweet and happy person. he sometimes makes awkward or even dumb comments which makes me laugh.

superwoman

lilly singh is a 26-year-old woman who lives in canada. her parents are indian and she sometimes makes fun of them by imitating them on video. however, she loves her family and they love her, so it's all just for fun. she makes funny videos as well as vlogs and is very sweet and loving. she is also one of my favourite youtubers.

comment down below and tell me who your favourite youtubers are, and i'll check them out. thank you for reading and have a lovely day! or week. or whatever. bye! ☮

"people tell you your whole life 'you need to have a plan, if you don't have a plan you'll never accomplish your goals.' but what if your goals are vague? like mine. to be happy. to laugh. everyday. to experience life. to find love. and loss. to just feel what it feels like to be a human being. to feel alive. where do you go with goals like that? people associate being lost as something bad. fear is bad. confusion is bad. failure is bad. but it's not. it's life. because the way i see it, no one ever knows what they're doing. ever. and if someone tells you they do... they're lying."
