dreaming and cleaning

hey again,
weekend is now left behind. I came back to the city on saturday, met an old friend and we went out in the night. Turku is a nice place to go out in the summer, too bad it's almost over. And the best looking people you also find in Turku :) Lot of tourists this time of the year, it gives some colour and different cultures on the streets.
Sunday was my sister's daughters birthday, great party, good food! Time goes so fast, she already turned 6 and I think it was yesterday when she was born. We'll see after I come back from my trip, she's going to be a big girl! After the party we stayed at the house with my brother for some time and played with barbies.. of course with the birthday girl, not just me and my brother alone, don't worry :)
I've realized that I haven't really done anything for almost 6 months, so today I started to do some cleaning. Stop being lazy... Because after all these days are just waiting for the time that I can leave again. Someone told me I'm very fortunate to choose for my own life and go to Africa, that many people can't do that even if they want. I don't think it's about being fortunate, maybe I have some lucky stars around me, but it's just about choosing your own way. I need to know that one day I can say that I have lived my life the way that has made me happy and for that goal I can only listen to my own heart, hoping that it will show me the right way.

City life, I went to look for some sales, but too much people, so I guess I just go back home and relax. Tomorrow is a new day, cleaning day.. ( yes some of you might know.. cleaning action!!!! I guess I'm still a bit addicted, but there's no painting around :)

Preparing for Malawi

Well, time is running and my "to do list" is still quite long. The good news is that my flights to Malawi have been confirmed and I will be flying out on the 4th of February. So there is less than 3 weeks to go which at times brings a slight "panic related feelings" but calms down fast after realizing that 3 weeks is plenty of time to get everything sorted out. Autumn time passed fast with all the training we had to do with VSO. It seemed a lot in the beginning and I was wondering how am I going to survive all those studies both in England and online. If you come with an academic background it must be not that bad at all. But if you come with less studying background like I did it really seems like a whole lot of work to do, with lots of paper work, lots of big issues packed with big words! But now when I look back at it all it's been amazing times, have learned so much, enjoyed the conversations with other volunteers and had so much fun too! And I am happy that...

east side

My friend Kalle was reading my writings and he was very sad that I forgot to mention his name and that now I'm actually in Joensuu, so for all of you to know he is a good friend ( and for the ladies, single!! i get u a pic later..) so if you ever plan to visit Joensuu ( for some strange reason I don't understand because there is nothing here... except Ilosaarirock and lot of snow!!!) you can always depend on Kalle. Today I'm going to visit a very special place and some very special people. they were a great help when I really needed it some years ago. And for that I thank them because I am able to walk on my own feet again! Saatiin vaparit JokiPojat - Fops Mestis peliin, mutta kiinnostaako se jääkiekko niin paljon?? NO EI! Ihmiset on niin erilaisia taas täällä ja johtuneeko liian pitkään kaupungissa (tai turussa..) olosta et kesti taas hetken tottua että tuntemattomatkin voi hymyillä toisilleen! :)

Kun naapurin tyttö heräsi kuolleista

Elettiin vuotta 2015. Minulla oli jo muutama vuosi takana Malawissa ja asuimme mukavalla alueella melkein kaupungin keskustassa. Kaikki tunsivat minut, mutta itse harvemmin tiesin ihmisiä muuten kuin kasvoilta. Naapurustossa asui myös mukava nuori tyttö, ihan tavallista nuorisoa niin kuin muutkin alueella asuvat. Nyt kun ajattelen, niin siellä asui nuoria itse asiassa todella paljon. Malawissa 0-24 vuotiaat kattavatkin yli 65% koko maan väestöstä. Kaikki tapahtui pari taloa tästä meidän vanhasta talosta eteenpäin Eräänä päivänä tuli suru-uutinen, että tämä tyttö oli menehtynyt malariaan. Olin kuullut oudoista malariakuolemista, mutta se ei ollut koskaan tapahtunut näin lähellä meitä. Sanottiin, että hän oli ollut ihan hyvävointinen, mutta salakavala malaria olikin ehtinyt aivoihin asti ja hän menehtyi äkillisesti sairaalassa. Se, miksi tämä tapaus jäi erityisesti mieleeni, oli se, että käytin sitä usein esimerkkinä kertoessani ihmisille malarian vaarallisuudesta. Malaria on k...
