Eating a lot, drinking, spending time with my family.
God, it's so cold! Yesterday was -3 degrees! I was freezing and didn't want to go out. However, my mother told me we shouldhave gone to the cemetery to visit my grandparents.. That's our tradition to go there on Christmas Eve. When they lived, we used to visit them at their homes. It's the first time we celebrate Christmas without my grandfather (my maternal grandfather) who died in April.. I saw him last one year ago.
Remember when I studied in Finland? Foreign students could have Finnish family (local people), who would take care of them and spend some time together. I also had such family. They called me this year. Oh, it was so wonderful to hear them! It's been already 3 years since I saw them last time. It's time to meet them again! Maybe next year!
On Saturday I will fly to Ireland where I will spend New Year's Eve. I love travelling! I will meet some friends there. I have never been to Ireland, so it's even more exciting to go there!
Have a happy time, wherever you are.

Tomorrow I'm taking three planes - the first to get to Europe, the second to get to Poland as we still don't have direct flights to China, and the third to get to my hometown. It's going to be a long trip; totally about 20 hours. I'm already packed and again I have many gifts for my family. This time I had some bad experience to get them. In one of the shops Chinese man told me very high price - and when I asked him to lower it a little he said that I was a foreigner, which implicated that it didn't matter for me what the price was. Grrr... "you like it, you take it, you don't like it, you don't take it". I left that place without buying anything. What a jerk! On that day China didn't seem very nice country. It was raining, I felt tired, sad and hungry. And even meeting with Jack and Harry didn't cheer me up. On the next day I went to supermarket and bought gifts - without bargaining, without any staring just because I was a foreigner, pleasant, nice and quick. And I'm ready. The weather is nice, sunny and not very cold. I can't count on similar weather in Poland. Anyway, I'll survive! My schol had a Christmas party on Wednesday. Very early, but because of it, I could attend it. I wore the suit and felt very well, handsome and appreciated. Take a look at the photos with some beautiful girls. December 11 end of the world"
It's the end of the world The end of the world It's a prison for dreams and for hopes And still we believe there is God It's the end of the world The end of the world We're dead but pretend we're alive Full of ignorance, fools in disguise" [Blackfield, End Of The World, Blackfield II] Hitlist #353 December 10th, 2007
December 10 cold handsCold hands, cold feet. Missed calls, unread messages. 1000 thoughts in my head, 1000 mosquitoes biting painfully. Wet eyes, shaking voice. Swedish music, fireworks in the sky. Winter, winter, winter. Time to go home. Overtime is overtime.. overtime is over.. time is over.. over is over. December 04 lazy and niceLife has been lazy and nice recently. Of course busy as always but after some time you can get used to that. Stabilization.
I met Kevin last Saturday. I worked on that day but according to my schedule I had 3-hour-break between the classes (obviously somebody thinks I like to waste my time just like that!). I didn't want to stay in the office so I called Kevin. We went for coffee and then for a long walk. We climbed a hill nearby. The air was so great, I felt so comfortable and relaxed. I love autumn! The best time of year, truly!
Soon I'm going to Poland, and I will "enjoy" winter. Grr.. the worst time of year - simply because it comes after the best one. However I'm wearing gloves even in autumn... The mornings are a bit chilly!
Keep yourself warm - that's what's important for my health and personal convenience. December 03 radiohead's jigsawWarning! This video is addictive. Please be careful. That's #1 this week. Radiohead.
