Lunch @ Fazer Stockmann

Yesterday, Ritua from Mikkeli visited me. This is the 2nd time in this year she came to my place. I was very happy to see her again. She is like my mother in Finland.

I met her in the city centre. We shopped around and then went to Stockmann to have lunch.


The cakes are amazing, but we didn’t order it.


We ordered mixed salad and soft drink. The salad is a bit expensive, more than 14 € for 2 dishes. But it’s a good chance for me to eat vegetables, because at home I don’t really eat it. I don’t like raw vegetables.



The place is cozy. I like the surroundings.

Sunny Thursday

Spring comes

The best time of Finland has arrived!

Beautiful Sai Gon

Around this time I was in Sai Gon to visit my family.

Sai Gon was so hot. I lived there for decades but rarely take a look closer at it.

Then I went to visit to my grandparents who live in the country side, a province named Long Son. Those pictures below are combined of the two cities.

Nhà thờ Đức Bà (Saint Mary's Cathedral), Sai Gon center.

Models at Vogue Republic of Banana. You know. BANANA

I'm in the left hand side with my close friend!

My dream wedding dress

Today when I am surfing, I see this picture of Grace Kelly. She is so beautiful. That's obvious, there is nothing to say.

But you know what? She makes me want to get married.... in order to wear that dress. I knows it's silly like you vote someone because he is handsome!

Sometimes I am just in that funky silly :))

But the dress is so vintage. I can't help it!

Orchid flowers

Yesterday my boss gave me the orchid plant. In that little green stands out the beautiful colour, which mixes between the violet and pink.

I like it very much. The color of romance!

Saturday in Vallila

I like with because

It is lovely. With the string it becomes a bag, or it can be converted into a purse if I leave the string out (like the picture above), and

It is so cheap


I bought them in Vallila, a second hand shop in Helsinki.

Where people buy and sell their unwanted stuffs.

You can make a bargin. That's what I learned from my friend.

You can find some unique things.

Some people wear really fashionable. It's not what you wear but how you wear!

They sell mostly clothes to make room for the new ones in the next season.

Spring comes. Do you know I have been waiting for you for a long time?

Today I can walk in normal street (before I'm used to walk in snow)

Happy weekend!

Weekend with Kumi

Last weekend I was with Kumi, the dog my boss asked me to take care of while they were in Germany.

So I went to their place and stayed during the weekend. I enjoyed the time being there. The place was quite, I thought it might be boring but it wasn’t .

I am quite busy, busy with the tasks that mainly assigned by me :) I make the websites for my boss, and it's not my field of study. I am not a web designer.

I was busy with cooking, taking care of Kumi, feeding her, taking her outside for walk, etc. When I had a free time, I took the picture of the little things in the house, Kumi’ pictures, and outside surroundings…

This is Kumi. Sleeping all the time!

Why are you always taking picture of me, sis?

After taking a lot of picture of little Kumi, I went outside to take the pictures of trees, plants, mainly branches, flowers, neighbour houses, etc.

And do you think this is a dog behaviour??? Sigh.

Veronika decides to die

“Even if you have only got two days to live, I don’t think you should leave this life without knowing how far you can go.”

The story tells about a young girl who commits suicide. She is rescued and wakes up in Villete, a mental hospital in Slovenia.

In Villete, people are safe; they are free to express their feelings. They don’t have to care about their job, their family. They don’t have to earn a living or be responsible for anything like that. Moreover, they can do anything such as love, sex and hatred… without being afraid of any judgement.

The doctor says Veronika just can live about a week. In that short time, she finds that she wants to do so many things, things that she has never done before. Since there is nothing to lose, Veronika acts, says whatever she wants and be a person she wants to be!

The young and beautiful girl who is going to die soon makes many people rethink about their lives, their unfulfilled wishes. They all have their dreams, the dreams that are usually banned with regulations and rules that make them never reach it.

It seems that when people are drawn nearly to death, they have more awareness of life, recognize what they really want to do and appreciate those times left to live intensively.

The short story but great in value and meaning. Writing style is simple but profound makes it naturally go to my heart. Through it, the author wants to share one main message to those who is in the corner of her life: “dare to be different!”

A little gift

Yesterday I received a gift from my boss. I called it a surprising gift because I haven’t expected that.

I helped her to take care of her dog when she was in business trip.

Her name is Kumi. It means rubber in English

And the gift is...

It is a clock. She knows I love baking, so she bought the clock with the shape of a girl with muffin. She says it’s my style.

I even love the bag with the small red bug

Hah, the clock is so cute; I hang it on my wall.

I love the design from this company, so lovable!

She gave me the ride to Helsinki

The sky was clear, sunshine. Then I suddenly saw this

Fog in Ruoholahti

Spring comes to Finland. But is it really coming?

There is sunshine, and my hope is high!
