“You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,

And unafraid of toil”

–The Sorting Hat, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

16 haavetta vuodelle 2016

1. Muuttaa isompaan asuntoon

2. Saada aurinkoinen kesä

3. Saada työ, josta nautin

4. Opetella uusi kieli

Islanti on nyt ollut minulle se kieli, jonka haluaisin oppia ja 

minulla olisi kaikki materiaalikin siihen. Jostain vain

olisi löydettävä motivaatio.

5. Nähdä kettu/kettuja

En tiedä, jostain syystä tämä on nyt yksi haaveistani. Haluaisin

kuvata kettuja luonnossa.

6. Matkustaa yhdessä

Sen lisäksi, että kesällä käymme taas Romaniassa häävieraina, haluaisimme

päästä käymään muuallakin siinä samalla. Vallu haluaa Kreikkaan ja minua

kiehtoo enemmän Italia.

7. Saada säästettyä PS4:een

8. Toteuttaa road trip

9. Lukea kaikki kirjat, joita olen säästellyt

Olen ostellut paljon kirjoja, joita olen himoinnut ja nyt pitäisi alkaa

lukea niitä. Mutta viihdyn enemmän vanhempien pihalla, aurinkotuolissa, omenapuun alla

kirjojeni kanssa.

10. Olla hyvässä kunnossa

Niin henkisesti, kuin fyysisestikin. Tänä vuonna aion onnistua.

11. Olla suositumpi bloggaaja

Olisi ihanaa taas kuvata ihmisiä eri teemoilla ja saada huomiota niillä kuvilla, mutta

ensin olisi löydettävä inspiraatio ja motivaatio. Helsinkiin muuton jälkeen se on ollut

kadoksissa bloginkin suhteen.

12. Tutustua uusiin ihmisiin

13. Elää stressitön loppuvuosi

14. Kuvata siskon kihlakuvat onnistuneesti

15. Istua kesäyönä laiturilla katsomassa usvaa veden päällä

16. Luoda cosplay-asu ja mennä coniin

Tällä hetkellä suunnitelmissa on Beth (Until Dawn), Max (Life is Strange)

ja olisi kiva olla myös joku ihana Disney prinsessa

expecto glowingium

parhaat asiat viime viikon aikana

Sain vihdoin ostettua Harry Potter-kuvakirjan ja se maksoi vain 14,60e

Vietin eilen yksin hemmotteluiltaa

Pelattiin Until Dawn ja Everybody's at the Rapture Jennan kanssa ja nyt pelataan Firewatch

Käytiin eilen äitin kanssa kiertelemässä kauppoja

Vietettiin ihana lauantai UMK:n parissa Jussin ja Vallun kanssa

Löysin kirpparilta eurolla The Duff - elokuvan

Puuterilumi

Löysin söpöt pääsiäiskortit kirjekavereille

Sovittiin Miran kanssa, että menen hänen luokse tällä viikolla pelaamaan Heavy Rain:ia. 

Sain inspiraation synttärilahjaan (mutta kenen?)

Herbina Energy Boost - pakkaus ja tuoksu

Mun geeky urheilutoppi odottaa kotona Helsingissä

WITCHES AND WIZARDS

Anteeksi kamalasti tästä pitkästä hiljaisuudesta. Tarkoitus oli kirjoittaa, ja kirjoitinkin luonnoksen, heti uuden vuoden jälkeen, mutta sitten sekin vain jäi lojumaan luonnoksiin. Nyt viikot ovat menneet vauhdilla ja tänä iltana matkustetaan yöbussilla Bucarestiin ja sieltä aamu lento Saksan kautta Helsinkiin. Toivottavasti nyt käy parempi nakki, kuin viimeksi Islannista tultaessa. Eilen kävin ottamassa tatuoinnin pitkästä aikaa ja olen hyvin tyytyväinen ja onnellinen siitä, kaikesta kivusta ja punoituksesta huolimatta.

Tatuoinnin teki Gabriel Q-Bo INK -liikkeestä täällä Iasissa. Niin, kuin kuvista huomaa, tatuointi liittyy vahvasti Harry Potteriin ja olen pitkään halunnut saada kristallipallo tatuointia ja nyt sain siihen netistä inspiraation. Ostin ja liityin nyt Fitgirls -jengiin ja aloitan kotiin päästyä #28DayJumpstart:in ja siitä aion jatkaa eteenpäin. Olen hyvin vaikuttunut tästä yhteisöstä ja heidän tavastaan kannustaa. Olen saanut jo uusia ystäviä tätä kautta, koska suurinosa mukana olevista kannustaa toisiaan jaksamaan ja auttaa huonoinakin päivinä. Toisin sanoen, et joudu olemaan yksin tässä. Sain mun rakkaan indie muusanikin innostumaan ja aloitamme tämän yhdessä heti, kun pääsen Helsinkiin :--)

ps. Osa teistä taisi myös huomata, että uuden vuoden kunniaksi myös ulkoasu sai muutoksia hieman minimalistisempaan malliin. Toivottavasti pidätte **

oh my november.

Willie Stratton - November

Jyväskylä road trip tyttöjen kanssa, autossa laulaen, pimeässä tähtien ihailu, tunnelmallisia yläkaupungin baareja, perhosia vatsassa, kuudelta aamulla kotona.

Halloween meikkiä, kynttilöitä, luurankoja ja velhoja, vampyyrejä ja zombeja.

Marraskuu.

Swish and flick.

This rainy day I'm gonna use for watching Harry Potter movies and drink a lot of tea. I already continued my HP book. I'm feeling a little sick so I wanna keep myself warm so I can go back to school on tomorrow (like I really want..).

Welcome to the Hogwarts!

I know, right? Harry Potter and mostly Hogwarts are the best thing and it doesn't look age? Some of you (like me) are grown with Harry Potter books and movies, some have found all those great adventures little bit later but it's ok.

The biggest question is, would you like to be student in Hogwarts?
Yes, you heard me right. There is chance for that now and I'm now telling more about it.

I accidentally found this the amazing website called Hogwarts Is Here aka HIH.
At first you can ask for your accept letter and it is really a letter to you from Albus Dumbledore but it's web version. But don't worry, we live in modern world and that's still pretty great. You've waited for that letter since you were kid, right?
You make your account, choose your house and open your vault where you get wizard money. THEN you can start your courses, that's right. It's like normal web school thing but you do Hogwarts studies like Charms, Astronomy, Defense Against the Dark Arts etc.
You have essays, tests etc in your courses and you get grade after every essay which come in every lessons. It's amazing, right?

You can also meet new people in your dorm room, the great hall and your house's own dorm room. You can find chocolate frog cards and buy books and read them (that's my favorite part).

Today I spent about two hours researching about my favorite constellation and it's mythology and I was so surprised how much I did learn about it. This reminds me a lot of my high school courses but these studies are more interesting and motivating. You can also keep touch to your Hogwarts teachers and like I did, I donated to this site because I see so much potential in this and I'm so happy that some fans are so talented and made this. I've waited for this a long while.

A month of shopping

Now, let's have a hot cup of tea (or mocha, your choice) and think about this past month. I landed back to Finland on Sunday and spent two holiday days in Helsinki with my friend and I also met my sister for a long while.
Now I'm at home and I sorta feel like having post-travel-depression. I've spent whole month around people all the time and now suddenly I sit alone in the dark room. That's the first problem I must pass, I used to love spending a lot of time alone and suddenly it's a massive problem.
Also I feel blank right now; what now? what's next? This was the big trip I waited? What now? In shower today I got feeling that the trip never happened and it's still coming.
No Elisa, it's over.

Okay, now something happier.
I opened my suitcase and put everything I've bought for myself to one pile and took a picture of it. First I thought that I make post about those here, but maybe I just show some of them and tell something of those things.

Skittles
I fell for Skittles in UK, I bought first a small bag of Crazy Sour Skittles and then immediately I was sold.

Harry Potter stuff
I bought a lot of Harry Potter stuff for Mira so I needed something for myself too. I found this top from Camden Town and Hogwarts top came to Primark after couple weeks.

Treats
In UK we ate a lot of Tesco's 'meal deals' which included sandwiches or pasta salad, small bag of chips and a drink. I tried these cool looking chips and in some weird way I liked them a lot. Lilac bag is pickled onion and yellow bag is roast beef.
Cadbury is chocolate factory in Birmingham so I want to try their chocolate (because no chocolate has won Fazer). And M&S had these cute Where's Wally - chocolates.

Television shows
I have now all Sherlock seasons on my shelf and I decided before this trip that I try to find Vicious DVD. Merlin was spontaneous need. I love Merlin and especially the first season is so gold. Of course there was so many other shows too like Miranda, Doctor Who, Adventure Time, Supernatural and even Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Jewels
I didin't buy a lot of jewels like I usually do. I bought from Claire's earrings for me and for my friend. I bought her doughnut earrings and for myself these skulls. In airport I went to Accessories store and found immediately this cute anklet. Oh summer, I wait for you!

Doctor Who
Also as a big Doctor Who fan I bought some gems. I bought sonic screwdriver key chain for my old work friend. For myself I found perfect Doctor Who poster (from episode where Vincent Van Gogh painted this and because I admire Van Gogh's paintings and this was so like his real style) in sale there was Dalek key chain and then my first Doctor Who item, the magazine.

Tea lover
My school gal wanted this Twinings 'mango & strawberry' tea and when I found it I had to buy same for myself too and next to it was this other delicious name 'cherry & cinnamon'. I bet those both are amazeballs.

Also I bought Adventure Time cup. I had hard decision of what kind of mug I buy. Long while I was so sure about Princess Bubblegum but then I decided to take this where are also Princess Bubblegum but also Jake, Finn and Lady Rainicorn.
Also you can see that my fab Adventure Time dress arrived. It's so globbing amazing.

Weekend escape to LDN

Our Thursday was a deep bottom shit here and we needed a quick getaway to somewhere else and luckily our London trip was on Friday. We packed everything we needed for a weekend and took early train to London Easton and from there we went to Leyton. Our hotel was so dreamy comparing to place we're currently staying. We had a real breakfast, working tv, bathtub, friendly workers and clean and neutral rooms. Not like this room our hostel workers decided to move us now, even when the deal was that we can move back to our old room again. This room is like kitch bordel. Our walls are hot pink with glitter and some seashell print and electric blue. Our shower is in the corner. Why?
Anyway, we left our luggages in our perfect room and left to city. First we went to King's Cross stationand Harry Potter side. People lined to take picture with carriage. I was happy to get picture only of that carriage. Then we visited Harry Potter store which was quite small but cute.
After King's Cross station we went to Camden Town.
I loved those houses and I loved 50's restaurant we went today.
We spent our evenings while drinking wine and watching Family Guy and some oldie goldie movies like Hulk (Edward Norton<3), Coyote Ugly and The Sweetest Thing.

On Saturday we got little lost when we went to meet my penpal who took us to London's hipster side like this one cool record store and vintage second hand store.
We went to Chinatown to eat and then we wanted to see these basic landmarks as Big Ben and London Tower.
I found out story of the royal dishes. I love the print of those dishes and colors.

Yesterday we went first to Oxford Street but couldnt find anything there. We carried our things around and it was really uncomfortable. I almost got stuck to every ticket gates. We bought ice creams and took train to Baker Street. First I thought that I dont have energy to there but then again, this is the change.

We went again to Camden Town and ate a really good dinner in 50's style restaurant. Then we ran to Easton's station and fought with over full train but at last we arrived to Birmingham.

Today we spent whole day in Liverpool with our teacher and Prague students.
