Yes, I'm still alive

I will try again, my attemps to write blog regularly seem to fail over and over again. Is it laziness? Lack of interest? Maybe I've been just tired? I would love to say that "oh, you know, I've been so busy with this and that, my life is too hectic, no time for blogging!" Yeah, right.. like my life would ever be too hectic for few words. So the result I made: Pure laziness. I think that suits me the best. You can do thousand things, but to write a few words to your blog, you can always leave it for later. So forgive me and again, I will try my best, but don't expect too much from this. Appreciate you reading this, because those e-mails you're going to wait even more longer! :)

So what's up today? Surprised I may sound a little apathetic? Come to Finland for few days now and I am pretty sure you will not sound so happy either. It's normal, the winter comes, the darkness comes, the struggle begins.. But hey, even Bob Marley once said: The struggle is not over, until the battle is won! So there will be sunshine after all, after many more months, but it's there! Just got to stay strong. And remember to take the vitamins.

Saturday I'm off to Copenhagen and from there to Malmö. Feeling really excited about this trip! Going to meet some old friends back from the time in Denmark and Africa. It brings a lot of good memories back to my mind, even in the middle of all this darkness and cold, puts a little smile on my face, just thoughts about those times. If you have a little time to spare, see this video I found today.. I really like the song playing on the background and it was great to see some familiar faces, so everyone from Humana times, keep your eyes open!

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...

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...
