Virisevad vanad naised on elu kõige tüütumad nähtused.
Kui kortsud juba niikuinii peavad tulema, siis tulgu nad rohkest naerust ja mitte igavesest virisemisest.

Muumid
Eile oli viimane tööpäev Okaidis. Nii kahju... Viimase päeva tunnet ei olnud. Tuleb külla minna ja kooki viia.
Vennal oli aktus, 9.klassi lõpuaktus. Ja lõpetaski edukalt ära. Loodame, et gümnaasiumi lõpuaktus tuleb ka pea ja ülikooli oma.
Ühe venna kaudu saame kõik ka tädiks sügisel.
Jaanipäevaks plaane ei olnud, kuid kuna oli vaba hetk Hiiumaal käia, siis otsustasin sinna ka pikemaks peatuma jääda. Isa tegi ekskursiooni Tahkuna poolsaarel ning tutvustas Punaarmee sõjarajatisi.
Lisaks sellele sain Hiiumaalt ka Öökulli.
Täna käime tädil jt. külas. Pean arbuusi muretsema ja selle Niitväljale kaasa võtma, hiljem lähme Piritale.

My cake!
Well, it is a very cute cake! What a nice surprise for my birthday (I received many other very special gifts as well, so I hope they will not be upset as I just happen to have a picture of the cake).
Thank you all so much and next year: lets hope for nice weather and will be great!

Feeling the pressure
I saw a doctor this week and she said: "And now, tell me the truth - who is Georgian in your family?"
Got back from Hiiumaa on a ferry "Muhumaa". Was sitting on the floor - they really have too little sitting space. I didn't mind sitting on the floor, but there can be a lot of people who probably wouldn't like it.
And I have an exam tomorrow in Public finance.
And from now on - three days at work. Fun-Fun.
And everything is still open .. what to do and where to be in summer..

Shopping
Kingad - 35 krooni (Uuskasutuskeskus)Lisaks sain roosa jaki, püksid suveks ja pluusi.
Ning eile ostsin kuhja La Senza pesu.
Süümepiinad, aga tuli teha teatavaid kulutusi. Selleks kuuks on loodetavasti kulutused lõppenud. Ootame järgmist palgapäeva.
Kaks eksamit veel teha, 11 päeva tööl käia, Hiiumaad külastada, järgmine kuu Ralph Lauren Romance muretseda ja meigiasju. Ning siis peaks rahu majas olema. Suveks vähemalt. Tühjendan kappe ka veel ikka, viis kotti olen asju Humanasse viinud, järgmisena teatud asjad Uuskasutusse. Nädal tagasi saabusin Rootsist. Vennale vaja triiksärk muretseda. Suvi, tule juba. Ja ilusat emadepäeva järgset päeva.

Time to snore
Good morning and good evening (that depends on how long of a Saturday night you had),
I am weak so I decided not write my thesis this semester.
I started to work. The first week - 7 days in a row. Five of them 12 hours a day.
I am waiting for the volcano to stop. My flight is on Friday. I hope for the best.
And I have a person on Skype, snoring currently. He was angry with me because I didn't wish him happy birthday what overall was very silly of me, because I was thinking of his birthday the whole day and I found him another gift etc., but I didn't let the person himself know that I do care. But we will cope with it, hopefully. I sent him a surprise package by post on Thursday, but it is a bit tricky with the planes right now, so I have no idea where it is stuck right now, but it would be nice if he could get it soon. Typical - I keep forgetting about someone having a birthday, but when I don't forget, then I don't wish him happy birthday.
And I saw D. and J. this week, finally. Haven't seen them for almost a year (the fact that I was real ashamed of). It was so nice to see and talk to them, just amazing. No promises though when we will see the next time. It is not nice to disappoint people.
And I went shopping today - just a little and second hands. Spent a bit too much, but have to manage with it. Feels good to own some new things at least, but have to get rid of the old ones. Gonna start selling them cheap soon.
Good night and be happy!

I love you, Karma
It is undiscrabable how I feel, but what I can say is that.. well, nothing to say, just amazing
O. is coming to the Baltic states, in the end of March! He bought the tickets few days ago, so it is amazing! It has been quite some time already, 4 weeks now..So I am pretty pleased about that... after that, in April no worries, I booked the tickets some time ago already in February.
Yesterday, I got an e-mail that we will receive extra money for Erasmus. Just on time, because I have to pay for one course by next Tuesday! Otherwise I would have never managed that without quitting everything else.. but now: I can still go to gym in May and April!!! And I can do other things that I would like to do - to go to see my father and brother, to be able to spend at least some money in Riga etc. Maybe I can even buy one piece of clothing from a second hand..!!
And today.. even more amazing.. I got a job!
Had a phone interview on Wednesday evening, I was shocked because I had to talk in Russian as well.. and today was the face-to-face interview (2 interviewers) .. Tough questions (at least for me) and I was nervous and all over the place.. but in the evening I got the answer.. I got a job!!! And I liked those people so I believe the whole team is going to be nice. Such a happy puppy right now.
What next? Internship for Mr. X and more eating control. But it is going well with the training, managing to do it 5 times a week, this is a third week already, so I don't see myself not doing that for the next few months as well.. And I should write my thesis before starting to work as well, would be really smart.
- fix my weight and getting fit /takes some months, but going well so far// start with spinning as well
- help with an internship
- fix the thesis
P.S. and I should visit some people.. will fix that as well
P.S. 2 I have stopped smoking and haven't had a drink for a long time as well.. so next time when I have one, I will probably get dizzy very easily
Going well...
Hope it is going well for you too! If anybody needs help with CV-s, then I can maybe give some tips..

Making soup...
Usually I am not allowed to cook, but as the Mother is ill, I can try for the first time.
I am celebrating with a cider, the first alcoholic drink for a month.
And I counter how many calories does one Talleggi "viiner" have and it is 52 kcal:)

The Dreams of a 23-years-old
I thought it might be an interesting thing to read about in 20 years, so I will write some of the things I would like to do in my life. Some of the things are very materialistic.
As always I am dreaming about traveling. Not just dreaming, but reading about things like Work&Travel (that is not going to be affordable right now) and thinking a bit about my next Erasmus, but honestly I have no idea yet what to do after graduation and whether I will really graduate in June. But lets come back to traveling... it would be so nice to go traveling in June after ending with the thesis. To go to East would be the most perfect and most realistic. But at some point it would be very nice to go to South-America for a month and also to go to North-America for at least a month, to take pictures in New York... and to Africa at some point, but I will wait with that for a little I think. And just to relax - to go to Philippines, Hawaii...
I consider traveling to be my short-term goal. And how to do that - figure out a way how to get money or to volunteer or through school, work abroad, cheap traveling, backpack... There are ways even without a lot of money, but the perfect thing would be to find a well-paid job, but with an opportunity to take a vacation. It is not a problem to work very tensely for the rest of the year if you can have a nice vacation traveling around in the world.
What I have also understood, is that my education, my major, is useless. You can argue that nothing is useless, but in a sense what kind of job I can get.. it is useless. And of course, nothing is useless if you are a specialist on your field, but on a undergraduate level right now.. I have to start learning law, soon. This year even and my goal - postgraduate of International Law by 2013, by the age of 27. But right now, I am opened to everything. By the end of this year we will know much more what will happen to me.
And at some point I would love to have a wine cellar and a library in my house:) I have had the plans of my house in the head for a long time, we will see. Someday. A long-term goal, certainly not within 5 years.
I want to learn how to cook, to get fit and obtain a certificate for teaching BodyPump, to travel, to have a nice home, to take photos, to draw and to be happy. In the summer to travel around, lay on the beach on an island. And at some point - to spend my Christmas in a cabin in the mountains, sitting next to a fireplace, drinking cocoa, decorating the Christmas tree and patting my dog. Overall - to be happy without making others unhappy and to be honest with myself and everybody else. Haha - and to buy a lot of pretty underwear, shoes, dresses - but not too much - it would be nice to stay in touch with the reality.
Right now - moving out, traveling, and figuring out what to do within my next year (and to get fit!).
1. Traveling - East, North-America (The States), Philippines, Hawaii, South-America, Africa, Australia.
2. Education - Postgraduate degree. International Law.
3. Home, sweet home.
The problem right now is to come up with the plan how to achieve those things:)
Updeit!
Today came the first person to see the house. The good thing about this is that we have to keep the house clean now all the time. I really do hope for the best, as there is an average one year waiting time for the buyer in the market right now for a house with this profile. But I decided to have an open house on Saturday and hopefully will get some new ideas as well how to get the house sold as quickly.
Well, I have my routine on a schedule, but I haven't been good enough yet to stick to it - but! I will do my best soon. Step by step, trying to get better day by day. One thing I have learnt in life that you cannot change everything overnight. So I will take my time and try to do the best - time to stop the depression starting and pull myself together.
And the main thing - I have been having dreams - what is probably a daily thing, but I see my dreams, wake up for a little, but then fall asleep again and when I woke up for the second time, I do not remember what I saw. But I do remember tonight. I was skydiving, with somebody, but with whom, I do not remember. I landed, but did not feel anything - no emotions about the jump... I landed and at some point joined the princess, we walked under a bridge and then met up with two of his (American) friends/relatives in a travel car, one was standing on one side of the car, other on the other. No recognition though on what were we talking about and then I woke up. The reason why it was weird is that the skydiving was included and the emotionless.
The job search is frustrating. The most frustrating aspect is the lack of money of course, but it would be nice to have an enjoyable job. But I am getting ambitious, I haven't felt that for some time. It must be whether a very interesting job or a good salary. I do not feel like taking a boring and low-paid job.

- stop straightening your hair, because your curls are cute
- a benji jump!
- a parachute jump and a party afterwards
- show us some normal guy
- go camping with a tent

Snow and more snow
Yesterday was the first day when I left home to see my groundmother. The sidewalks itself are 2 and a half metre wide, but as there is a lot of snow, the path is about 50 cm wide and on one side there is a pile of snow, sometimes even 2 metres high. It is impossible to walk around with a child carrige or in a wheelchair.
People in here must be thinking I am crazy, as I walk around with a smile on my face. I am in a stage where I notice all the details and I am comparing everything with Lisbon.
And one good thing I noticed about Tallinn, is how the bus drivers drive - in Lisbon you always had to hold on tight, they were a sort of race car drivers. The bus drivers in here seem to be more relaxed in that sense, so thank you for that. But at the same time, the transportation tickets system is messed up. If you don't have an ID card, then I do not know how you can survive in here if you are in Tallinn for a long-term stay. Even if I am an Estonian citizen, but the ID card was stolen, it was rather complicated to find out what I have to do.
I had one bad experience today as well. I went to apply for new driver's license, as the old ones where stolen in Portugal. So she charged me with 25 EUR, even though if you have stolen drivers license, the price is 7 EUR. My fault was not knowing that at a time, as I found it out after I had already paid, but as much I have studied public administration, I also know that her job was to inform me. I told her, that the license was stolen, but she didn't say or asked about anything. But luckily I can still get my money back, even though it is going to be a waste of my and their time.
But yes, in the end when I was getting back home, I got the lion, so it seems to be a good year. Even though I have to find a job, graduate, my things were stolen on the 7th day of this year, I had a long journey home etc. At least it wont be a boring year as it is full of changes.
And even if I am going to have a bad year, I wish you all the best!
Do it, baby
P.S. To tape your hair... is not a very smart thing to do
Welcome to Estonia
Something weird is going on, but it is probably because I have my first days in here. Everybody seem to be very polite, the most extreme incident was today on a bus. It is not even politeness. So this is what happened: I was on a bus, standing next to the door to get out in the next stop, and then a man, in 40s, says "girl" in Russian and gives me a stuffed lion. He had it in his plastic bag, it still had a sticker on from the store.. I was confuesed, but took it. Smiled, said thank you and went out. When I was out of the bus, waved, and called my mother (well, first I tried to call B., but she was busy) and told what had happened and how I should react - I was a bit suspicious as well, as this - at least for me - is not a regular thing, that happens every day. And now I have the lion on my bed. Thank you, stranger.
