New Year's on a beach!

Happy New Year's!

My best wishes from Patong Beach, Phuket, Thailand ;)

Going towards Thailand

We're sitting at the airport in Arlanda, Sweden. Our boat trip over went well and we arrived at the airport a little while ago and unfortunately on the check-in screen there was a message travelling people hate. Our flight is delayed with one hour. Argh. Can't wait anymore! :D Well, almost 50 % of the air travels I've taken have been delayed and once cancelled, so that's something you have to count on I guess. The trains in Finland are usually late almost anytime at year so I don't get it why people get so jumpy when a plane is a little bit late. Well it's not fun, that's why I guess.

Okay, so now I will go an exchange some money to thai baht and then it'll feel more like we're really going. Have a nice New Year's if I'm not blogging anything before that!

Taking off to a paradise

Nu är mitt pick och pack färdigpackat. Alla nödvändigheter framplockade och resefebern börjar komma fram så småningom. Ikväll tar jag och Rina kvällsbåten över till Sverige och imorgon flyger vi iväg till varma Thailand. På fredag-lördag natten är vi framme i Phuket och vårt äventyr kan börja. Ska bli superkul och skönt! Spöket och Liket goes Thailand var det visst ;)

// I've packed everything and I'm getting a little bit edgy already for the trip. Will be so awesome! Tonight we're taking the evening boat to Sweden and then we're flying to Thailand tomorrow. And our thai adventure can begin! The Ghost and the Corpse goes Thailand! //

She's dreaming of a paradise...

The Holidays

Sorry sorry sorry for not blogging. I've been just enjoying my free time and everything the Christmas holidays brings aka. food, gifts, chocolate (tooooo much of it), family, friends and party on the 25th. Christmas was very fun at moms and then Christmas Day in Hanko was amazing. We had a surprise party for Jennifer for her birthday and she didn't have a clue. How good liars we have been for such a long time ;) Well we had the party at her place and all the girls were there and then we went off to Grönan and then the most of us continued to Origo later on. We had the worst storm this decade it's said in Finland and it really felt so in Hanko. I walked home in the storm, whoa, crazy chic.

On Monday I was hanging out with Jeffi and then Janni rest of the day. We watched movies and so on and then yesterday I was chilling with Ida, before going to mums again. Today I came back to Turku and took a long long long bath with face masks, foot spa, hair mask and body scrub. So nice and relaxing! Now I really should pack since we're leaving tomorrow evening with the boat over to Sweden. I just took down my bikinis from the attic, but that's how far I've gotten. So here's some pictures of my gifts and stuff.

Some of the products I used today and oh they made me feel good! Body scrub from The Body Shop, summer glow body lotion from Dove and a mud mask from TePoemä (+ chocolate hearts from Marabou).

Some of my Christmas gifts I got from my sisters. (The rest of them are still at mums). Bodysplash and face masks, H&M, Prada Candy hand cream, GOSH liquid eyebrow pen and a giftcard to Zara.

Packing, packing... Going slooow, but imagine, in a couple of days I can use summer clothes again!

Oh, what a day!

• Känslan på morgonen när man fattar att man är i öppningsskiftet och man inte har nyckel till restaurangen.
• Känslan då man väckt upp en kollega 8 på morgonen och fått nyckeln och sen dessutom lyckas låsa ut sig...
• Känlan då man måste be Hansa vakterna att öppna dörren åt en.
• Känslan då man fattar att man ännu hade 8 timmar jobb kvar.
• Känslan då man kommer på att man glömt att skriva och lämna in en inlämningsuppgift som skulle vara inne dagen före och hamnar då göra den istället efter en långarbetsdag, joy.
• Känslan när en överdrivet energisk unge kommer till restaurangen 8 på kvällen och vill visa en sin ballong :@
• Känslan när man fattar att man knappast får snö till julen = julfiilisen went down the drain, även om den aldrig egentligen hann komma.

Että sellainen päivä tänään.

At work on Wednesday. Haha.

HAHA! Vem kommer på att skriva en sån rubrik som låter så two-minded som den bara kan? It's saying like: Santas bells got tickled. IN A NEWS PAPER! :D

We had a snowman waiting for us in the fridge when we got to work. Hihi.

KÄNNISSÄ-OLET-ÄÄLIÖ.FI. Siistiä? Noloa?/ Translared to English: While-drunk-you're-an-asshole.fi. Cool? Embarrassing? You can find these a little bit everywhere now and I think they're kind of funny.

Thursday

Hej hej! Jag har varit lite busy och också glömt att jag har en blogg. Whaddap liksom? Har väl inte gjort så mycket speciellt egentligen. Idag har jag tvättat mina kläder så jag slipper vända ut-och-in på mina trosor och städat lite. Imellan varven hann jag på kaffe med en kompis och så skvallra vi massor vilket alltid är lika kul. Jag har dessutom börjat kolla på Friends igen så har haft lite maraton här samtidigt som jag hållit på. Mycket underhållande! Imorgon kommer jag vara stuck på jobb hela dagen, men det kommer väl vara helt kul i alla fall. Låter mycket sad, men har inget annat för mig, eftersom det flesta har flygit hem till sina bon på andra orter och så lite jobb gör väl inget. Betyder mera pengar i Thailand! Nu ska jag avrunda och försöka sova så jag orkar vakna och jobba imorgon. Godnatt alla!

// Been kind of busy washing clothes and cleaning and chilling today. Tomorrow I'm as I said earlier stuck at work the whole day and then it's already Christmas. How time flies by! Now I'm gonna try to sleep! Bye bye! //

I just came to say hello

Hey! Today I've been to work for six hours and it was fun. It's always fun to work when you don't do it too often. Then I'm so pissed I can't leave with the nine train on Friday for my mums so I agreed on taking another shift at work so I'm working a double shift, so this means 12½ hours of work on Friday. I'm gonna die. Well it's worth the money I guess! I haven't done anything special these days, mostly chillin' and planning what I should bring with me to Thailand. Just ten days and I'm lying on a beach and can walk around with summer clothes. Joy! Oh, and I tried the Facebook video chat yesterday with Janni for the first time! It worked well for us at least. Just wanted to tell ya. Tomorrow I'm having a boring/necessary laundry and cleaning day and maybe go out for a coffee with one old acquaintance. Now I need to make some food (tex mex salad, yum!) and try on some dresses. Bai bai!

Finalmente!

I got my schoolstuff done! Finally!! (Okay, I have just one tiny evaluation thing left). Today I've really done nothing. Just been chillin and I don't feel bad at all for once. I have to start planning what to take with me to Thailand and clean this place up before I leave on Saturday morning sometime.

I'm pretty pissed I have an insomnia thing going on now. For weeks I haven't gone to bed before 2 AM and then waking up really late or waking up like 7 AM to go to school supertired. I've been having too many late nights and late mornings I guess. But tomorrow I've promised myself to wake up in time since I have stuff I need to do and then Fia is in Turku so I will spend time with her. Haven't seen her since August/September sometime and this is the second time in like 9 months! It will be so awesome!

Now I want to try to sleep. So good night, see you tomorrow! (Maybe even with an outfit picture or pictures from the last couple of weeks if I have time).

xoxo,

Jazmine

About the weekend

Hey! Då var ytterligare en helg förbi. Så lördagen, vi var på middag till Blanko, beställde flaskor med vin, drack oss glada och fortsatte till Amarillo. Inträdet var överdrivet dyrt, men kompenserade det med att dricka semi-billiga tequila istället. Vi dansade lite också på the dancefloor omringade av kötthunters om jag minns rätt. Efter ett x antal tequila så fortsatte jag min väg till apbaren då jag hade andra vänner som väntade på mig där och resten for till en annan bar. Synd så, men så kan det gå ibland. Vi hade kul tillsammans ett tag i alla fall! Väl där dansade jag en del, yrade omkring och tappade bort folk, säkert också sagt och gjort en del dumma saker och gått hemåt ganska tidigt. Nästa morgon vaknar jag av huvudvärk from hell som lyckligtvis nog försvann senare på dagen. Söndagen gick långt ut på krabbishäng med film, en skoluppgift som jag var tvungen att skriva, hesemat, mera krabbishäng med ytterligare en film och hotellbokning (jeee!). Vi bokade ett hotell mitt i smeten i Patong Beach så vårt festliga nyår är i alla fall säkrat. Ska nog bli så kul! Bara 10 dagar kvar tills resan börjar! Sedan gick jag hem mitt i natten typ tvåtiden i regnet, med ett leende på läpparna och kom fram till många smarta saker i detta trötta tillstånd på gatorna i ett folktomt Åbo.

Idag var det meningen att jag skulle gå till skolan till 10, men ack och ve, så hade jag stängt av alarmet och somnat om. (Ni hör säkert hur mycket jag gråter över detta?). Så jag ligger ännu i sängen och myser så som man skall göra på jullov helt enkelt. För att mitt jullov skall helt och fullt kunna börja måste jag ännu skriva en fransk lingvistik uppsats typ, en rapport på en kurs och eventuellt ha ett gruppmöte om jag hinner mellan varven. Sen är jag helt fri från skolan ända tills 16e januari. Awesomeness!

Nu ska jag försöka få något gjort så vi får höras senare!

// My last weekend in Turku for a while consisted of a dinner at Blanko with friends, wine, Amarillo and a x amount of tequila shots, dancing and being ridiculously drunk. Having a headache from hell on Sunday, watching movies, chilling and eating Hesburger food (Finnish version of McDonald's). We booked a hotel yesterday in the center of everything in Patong Beach so our New Year's stay is covered now. Then we'll see what we'll do. Just 10 days and our journey will begin!! After all that I walked home from my friend about 2 AM, in the rain, with a smile on my lips and had some realizations, there on the empty streets of Turku in the middle of the night. How wonderful! Now I'm going to do my last papers and then the Christmas holiday can officially begin! I will be free from school until the 16th of January. I call this awesomeness! Now, bye bye! //

No snow here this Christmas! Just rain and a grey sky.

Last weekend in Turku

Hey you! Yesterday I was working my ass off at the sushi bar. Okay, just kidding. It was a piece of cake day, not that much to do all the time so easy money. After that I went over to Rinas place and we talked, ate lots of sushi, watched Pochahontas, booked a hotel in Patong Beach (today we got to know it was fully booked already so we need to keep searching) and then I went home two something. And by the way, while we're talking about the trip. Rina has a friend who is in Thailand the same time as we and then I have one of my friends and her boyfriend there exactly the same dates. What's the odds everybody loves Thailand? Today I was supposed to wake up semi-early and do some school papers, but oh well, sleeping to noon was far more tempting. So I haven't still done anything. I should do this one paper thing it's just about one page so not much at all, but starting to write is so hard, and then I need to go to a store and buy some stuff so I can clean! I have no washing powder nor dish-washing liquid or whatever it is called so it's a bit hard to do anything in here.

Later tonight we're going a bunch of girls to celebrate Åsas birthday, which officially is next week, and party! It's my last weekend in Turku until I get back in January so I think I can be all out today so everybody have already forgotten when I get back home ;D haha. I just realized I called Turku my home! Well, it has been for over a year now so it's about time I guess. And by the way, my mum is turning 43 today so congratulations to the world's best mum! ♥

Now I really need to get some stuff done and start preparing for tonight! Have a great day and evening!

The difference between you and me

The difference between being in love and liking somebody is that when you're in love you can get your heart broken, the wounds take longer to heal and it's harder to forget. But when you just like somebody you can't get hurt, because you have your safety-wall up and you can move on almost like nothing happened. I think I'll stick with the liking part, seems safer.

I'm not going to let myself fall off a cliff for someone.

Yesterday turned into today

Hello hello! Igår blev det lite utgång i alla fall med några klasskompisar. Först for vi till B och där var det lite tråkigt så vidare ti Monkey, var det var mycket folk och helt fiilis och sen när det börja stänga for vi vidare till MK. Så en helkväll med olika platser så det hann aldrig bli tråkigt! Jättekul var det i alla fall :) Idag lovade jag i mycket trött tillstånd att gå på jobb so here I am, snart på väg och jobba lite extra slantar till mig så min tillvaro i januari inte är allt för fattig. Though får jag dessa pengar samma dag vi åker till Thailand så har på känn att de kommer gå åt där. Jag kan inte fatta att jag ska på en två veckor lång semester! Har aldrig vart det, bara en vecka. Hur ska jag orka bara chilla, ligga på stranden och eventuellt äventyra något liksom? Jag fattade idag att detta är min sista ordentliga lediga helg i Åbo tills jag kommer tillbaka från resan i mitten av januari. Shit liksom! Måste ju hinna se alla nu innan jag åker och jobba lite förstås. Nästa helg är det ju jul så då åker jag hem till mamma var jag inte vart på år och dar och helgen efter det är det redan dags att åka! Gud, så spännande. Har heller aldrig varit på en resa med en kompis, har alltid varit ensam, haft kompisar på plats eller sen med exet då hundra år sen så det ska bli interesting att se hur vi kommer överens! Ska nog gå bra :)

Nej nu måste jag nog packa ihop min handväska, ta arbetskläderna och sticka på jobb. Sen blir det mys hos ovannämnda kompis I assume. Ha en bra fredagskväll alla!

Sometimes life is hard

Every end is a new beginning

I believe in giving everybody a chance. No matter what I've heard about them or what they may seem like. I give them a chance to be themselves, so I can be myself with them in return. Everybody are worth a second chance, what the hell, even a third one. That's the charm of living in a city where not many people know you or at least knows who you were before. I'm not saying I'm a totally different person as before, but people change and I think people are allowed to change. You can make a new beginning for yourself and shape yourself into the person you want to be without anybody judging you. Well, mainly I wanna say that just be yourself, be anybody you want to be and don't care what others think of you! Be the master of your own life ;)

It's over now!

All my exams are over now and I'm so happy! I just have two papers to do until Monday, one in French linguistics and another is a part to a group thing. Piece of cake! I had a grammar test today and I think it went fairly well, but then again you never know. Anyhow I will probably take it again in the end of January. Then I had another test on the internet so I could be at home and do it. It was in organization and management and it was just a paper basically where we had to explain some things so not that hard, just took some time. I'm in Christmas holiday mode already! Wuhuuu. No more school before January, plus I'm having an extra week off because of the Thailand trip so a total of one months holiday. How awesome isn't that?

I don't know yet if I'm going out or not today. Would be fun to celebrate a bit that everything is over now after a bit of a stressfull fall. Well now I'm gonna do something at least and clean a bit I guess. Have a great evening!

xoxo,
Jazmine

I had mighty fun when I did my test today when this suggestion showed up :D

The feeling when you let your heart decide

The feeling when you let your heart decide for you instead of your brain. It's like a drug: feels good at the moment, but you regret it later and wonder why you got carried away for a moment of pleasure and happiness instead of thinking longterm.

Why did I take the risk?

I'm going to THAILAND

Me and my friend Rina booked a two week holiday to Thailand today! Leaving on 30.12 and celebrating New Year's on a beach will do just fine after all these exams and school. I'm so excited and this will be so much fun!

Lucia

I just realized I haven't blogged too much these last couple of days. Haven't had time and won't have this week either. We have all the final exams this week and I'm supposed to study, study and study some more. So what's happened since last time? Well not much. Been partying, possibly screwed up one thing, wondering why some friends are like they are and planning a trip to Thailand. And today it's Lucia and it's raining. Good combination!

Well now I gotta go to school so bye bye!

Start saying "I will"

Point is; take every chance you have, say what you feel and think, do as you want and don't hesitate if it feels right.

Cosy and warm in this stormy weather

Today there has been a horrible snowstorm, but it's better now, grey, dark and wet though. So the weather craved for a warm and cosy outfit. Not at all a really good one, just all cosy stuff combined together! Haha. Sometimes that way!

Headband, shirt & dress; H&M.
Leggings; Gina Tricot.
Rubber boots; Seppälä.
Knee-high socks; Primark.
Winter jacket: JC.
