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 :)

back in the normal life

Last week there was a day that i decided to look for work, seriously I had enough of this "doing nothing, hanging around" -period, so I logged in to employment offices web site and started to look what they could offer me. I found a place where they needed cleaners, today I went to job interview in this small cleaning firm and I GOT THE PLACE! So congratulate me for my new work and by the way a whole new area for me, cleaning, but it shouldn't be so hard and I'm so glad I got something to do, it was really getting boring. So you might be wondering what's up with Africa? You know sometimes you plan something and things just don't work out the way you planned and this is very true when it comes to Africa. Well, this is what happened to me, but there is always plan B C D etc. so no problem, I will find the way to go back there, because I know that it's something that I really want. My thoughts are there everyday more and more, driving my friends crazy talking...

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...

good morning and welcome

so I've finally decided to open my own blog, I try my best to keep it updated. This time I'm still in Finland, but soon I will start a new journey. The summer has been great, I'm glad I came home to spend it with my friends and family. I went away for one month, but that time was really good for me, I took a deep look inside myself and got many answers, learned a lot about myself. Now I feel the cold wind blowing so I think it's time to move away from the winter and find some sun :) but it still takes some time, hopefully i can go on september.
