♣ So I say a little prayer Hope my dreams will take me there Where the skies are blue To see you once again my love

Dea-oíche chairde!

I´m at work at the moment, the second time around. I opened at 10.30am, because they came from the daycare center around 11am for some ice cream. They had been at the sports´ center before and finished with ice cream. Nice!

Then I waited until noon when Agnes came to start her working hours and cycled home again. There I watered this, hmm, concrete slab that broidi has built for his log saw. It was so exhausting, I took atleast 8 jugs of water *phew* and I also took som wood in. 

When the clock showed 14.50pm I started to get ready to cycle down here again. I came here a bit too late, but no one´s complained so ;)

Around 3.30pm or so, a whole load of ice cream boxes came. It was a lot, I tell you, the ice cream stand was more or less full! I had no idea in what end to star, how to organize it, so I had to ask mami for help ;) Not everything fitted here so we moved some boxes in the supermarket and we might also take some boxes home and put them in nana´s fridge in her house...

Today it was announced which bands/artists will perform at this Summer´s Allsång på Skansen. Loreen is one of them *surprise surprise* Did you know that Månseli more or less discovered her? *hihi* He signed her to his record label Mohito Music (not sure about the spelling on Mohito) but now Warner Music has taken over - probably much thanks to her ESC win.

It´s lovely Summer weather here at the moment. And since it´s soon, very soon, one week *OMG* ONE WEEK until it´s Dublin Baby❤ for me and my 2 mates Angie and Ammi; let´s focus on the weather forecast for Dublin, shall we?

Everyone knows how unpredictable the Irish weather can be, so I wouldn´t trust these to a hundred percent but yr.no are promising warm, beaming sunshine for Friday 22nd June *yes please* We´ve been waiting for this since 20th October, at the time it seemed like an eternity and now, here we are, close to one week to go! Awesome!

Well, in reality, I´ve been waiting for this for 12 years, ever since the ad for Coast to Coast started showing on Swedish TV.

The rest is history ❤

TheWeatherNetwork are promising thunder-showers on Tuesday 26th June, the day of our departure *sob* when we say 'Slán mo ghrá' to our beloved darlin Dubs. It can gladly be as many thunder-showers as they like - as long as it doesn´t cause trouble for us and our departing flight ;)

That´s all for tonight. 

Slán!

♣ We´re together in all our masses All for one and one for all

Watching footie at the moment. Ireland is playing against Croatia and sadly Croatia is in the lead with 2 - 1. I´m cheering for the Boys in Green.

So why all these photos of Nico then? Weeeell, he has a background in the footie bussiness, right? There you have it! :) Plus, he will be hosting a TV show that will be looking for a new supertalent for Celtic :)

Still, I´m happy that Nico skipped the footie carriere and decided to become a musician instead ;) Or what do you think Byrne girls?
*hihi*

10 days to go!

Update: Oh no, it´s 2-1 to Croation now =(

♣ Boa sorte! Vamos!

Watching football at the moment, premiere-time for me. Germany vs Portugal. No question which I´m cheering for, right? ;)

✘ It should've been us, It could've been you It will belong, with a perfect view

Hello peeps!

I´m sitting at home in front of the TV, watching a movie. It´s called My Fake Fiance. Melissa Joan Hart and Joseph Lawrence play the lead roles. It´s a sweet movie, bit predictable :P

Today I´m working from 3 to 9pm. Tomorrow I´ll work 12-9pm. I wonder how that´ll go, since I seem to have got a flue. I just want it to be over-with, as I do not want to become ill while being in Dublin, would be horrible!

Talk to you soon.

With Love

♣ We've only just begun Hypnotised by drums Until forever comes

Hi there!

So sorry for not blogging in a while. I´ve been partly busy as a bee with work and then the iNet doesn´t seem to work properly on my laptop. Right now, I´m using mam´s, as I´ve taken care of some things for the Ireland trip. It´s two weeks left today, two weeks! OMG! Still so surreal!

You all know the main reason with this trip is Westlife´s Farewell concert. Also the fact that we´re going to Dublin & Ireland is just so... Still can´t find words to describe it! I think I´m more excited about going to Ireland this time around, than the first time I went back in 2008. Don´t get me wrong, I was insanely excited then as well but it still feels better this time around.

Anyways, on 24 June we´re going on a tour to the West Coast and visit places like Galway, The Burren and... OMG!!!... Cliffs of Moher! Can you tell how excited and over-the-moon excited I am over this! Probably not. It´s going to be so awesome!

Galway

Today I booked another tour for us, from the same company that arrange the Cliffs of Moher-tour. This tour is Dublin-based and it´s called Traditional Irish Storytelling. It´s going to be so awesome! Click to >>read more<<

Today I found out more about the opening acts on Croke Park. On the day of our concert, 22 June, the opening acts will be Lawson and Jedward. But no The Wanted who I was so ecxited to see. They´ll be the opening act the night after. So typical!

Lawson

Jedward

The Wanted

Nevertheless, I´m not coming for the opening acts ;) even if I were looking forward to seeing The Wanted.

Now I have to get ready and go to work! 

Talk to you soon!

With Love

Hi peeps!

I realize I haven´t updated since the Grande Finale of Eurovision Song Contest this Saturday ;-) We all know how that ended, right? Stockholm 2013 here I come!

Seriously, I´m so, so happy that Loreen won, I love her! She had the best song in the whole contest and... Euphoria is one of the best songs ever in the ESC history, when speaking of the winners. I personally think that the way she´d built up the performance in the finale, more or less gave her the victory. Eye contact with the camera, the small smiles from time to time... Everything.



I already posted my favourites and here are 3 I´ve fallen completly for.

Ott Lepland: Kuula (Estonia)

Pastora Soler: Quédate Conmigo (Spain)

Roman Lob: Standing Still (Germany)

Another song I really like is the Norwegian entry: Toji - Stay
I seriously can´t belive they finished last. It also annoys me that everyone (= Swedes) are comparing Toji to Eric Saade. Seriously, so what if there is resemblance between the two!
Besides, Toji seemes to be so much more humble and more kind than Saade, who seems to be such a self-conceited jackass most of the time - even if he is eye-candy, make great songs and is an awesome performer. Again, self-conceited even on stage but... Ah well.

This made my night =)

Goodnight my lovelies! ❤

→ I know some things are being left behind I cannot explain why it happens all the time Some of it's broken and some of it's wrong

Hi there folks!

I´m at work again today. Since the weather is shite (dark skies, cold, occasional rain) I haven´t had many customers and I doubt there will be coming much more tonight. 

The folks at home talked about going somewhere to eat tonight, but before 8pm when I´m closing. Talk about irritation moment! I won´t write anything more (even if I could and wanted to) since I know that some readers of this blog are from Töjby so...

Luckily I have my laptop and a magazine and I also have two letters to write, so I should be okay.

✘ I think I might´ve inhaled you I could feel you behind my eyes You gotten into my bloodstream I could feel you floating in me

Hiya folks!

I´m at work at the moment, my laptop got to came with me today : ) 

Since Finland is playing the semi final against Russia today (starts in about 5 minutes) I wanted to keep up. I was thinking at first to find some radio streaming online, but that didn´t quite work. I´ll be following a live rapport from HBL instead.

Keep your fingers crossed for my Lions! ; )

Yesterday I went to Näsby to take the photos for the new passport. 15 € was the prize. Yikes! Renewing the passport was something on 50 €.

At the same time I took the passport photos, I ordered an objective for my Nikon D3100. 70-300mm and the prize is around 199 €. When I´ll go to pick it up (it had to be ordered from somewhere else) I´ll buy a backpack/ shoulder bag for the D-SLR. 

The objective looks something like this:

Ihanaa Leijonat Ihanaa !

✘ This broken heart can still heal with a touch of your grace

Heya peeps!

After work tonight, I was so tired and so hot! It wasn´t that hot outside, so I started to think I´d got a fever or something... I already felt it yesterday when I was walking around Vaasa city with Sus.

Me and broidi have been to auntie B´s, broidi needed a hair cut.

Here´s the playlist I made on Spotify. It´s the setlist to the Fairwell Tour - for those of you who haven´t realized it ; ) Us against the world isn´t on the setlist (scandalous in my opinion) but I added it, because I love it so much + in my opinion it deserves to be on the setlist.

The entrance exam yesterday went ... Well, I´m pleased with it. The exam itself wasn´t that difficult, it was the interview that was a bit more tricky... When I went home afterwards, I thought of a ton of things I could´ve added - as usual!

Later, I met Ammi out on the town and we went to buy the train tickets for 21 June. Then we went looking for tops to make the print on, which wasn´t the easiest thing but in the end we found some really nice-looking black tops of the longer model. It will be awesome! Now I just have to run the changes I made in the print through Ammi and Angie + we have to decide what font we want.

Oh, and I have to tell you something about the whole situation with Findus... In the end, it wasn´t as bad as I first thought. Sure, he´s getting older by the minute and he´s not exactly a kitten anymore, but he´s eating like usual and "talking" with us (sounds like a duck when he talks, so cute). So thankfully, we don´t have to say goodbye to him yet.

♣ Wake up, it´s time little girl, wake up All the best of what we´ve done is yet to come

Hellou there!

At the moment, I´m in the flat in Vaasa. I came here earlier tonight, as I have an entrance exam tomorrow at 9 a.m. Wish me luck & Cross yer fingers!

Today I went to the hair dresser´s. I brought the print out of the hair cut and colour >> click here for photo << I wanted. Mam was horrified over the colour, she thought it looked like a colour typical for Finnish mid-aged women *Wow, thanks a lot mam!* but I don´t think so. The hair colour of those women are usually more orange than red. 

Nevertheless, I love how it turned out!

 

Yes, I admit, I wanted a red hair colour since I´m going to Ireland and the Irish are all red-heads, right? ; ) Noo, I think that´s just another prejudice. Just like all Finns are sitting in the sauna 24/7 or fighting with knives. Prejudice.

I have another appoitment for 19 June. Then we´ll put more colour in and maybe trim the hair cut, if needed.

I´ll have two days off work in a row now. Today mam told me that I didn´t have to open the ice cream stand because of the horrible weather >> horrible storm and ice cold weather. And tomorrow, since I have the entrance exam, she told me that I could have the day off. Agnes will work instead, so she doesn´t forget everything until the Summer begins : )

So, after the entrance exam tomorrow, I´ll meet with Ammi in the city and we´ll go looking for shirts for the Dubs-print. I´m thinking about maybe going to the cinema as well, I don´t know... We´ll see.

Have I told you how much I love my Nikon Coolpix S9100? It´s awesome! All the photos in this entry is taken with that camera. Even the next two ones I took of the rose we gave mam for Mother´s Day.

♣ The boys in green will put on their best show Let’s show our colours, colours, green, green, green

So here we goes...

Feel like i'm going to a party but not drinking!

Let's try have the Time of our lives folks. 

We all, including you, deserve it

~ Nico on Twitter 10 May 2012

Words cannot describe how much I adore this man. Seriously, he´s awesome! Not only is he drop dead gorgeous, he´s kickass awesome! Everything about him is perfect, not to mention, he has the most amazing family ever! 

I still can´t believe I will be seeing him live in 38, 38 days! OMG!

Speaking of the best from Ireland. Check out the official song for the Irish team in the Euro 2012 (football). I love it, I miss one person in it though (*hint* HERE *hint*)

♣ Máthair Lá Shona!

Let´s start this entry with celebrating Mami on Mother´s Day!

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn 

Hundreds of bees in the purple clover 

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn 

But only one mother the wide world over

Now to a much more tragic piece of news...

When I got home from work tonight, mami told me something very disturbing. Findus hadn´t been seen all day and even if mami and broidi had been outside, working with various chores, he had been no where to be find. Therefor, mami started to pain up horror stories... I didn´t want to believe them of course!

Later in the evening, mami and broidi went outside to look for Findus. I followed a bit later, with Tara as a searching-buddy, but Findus was no where to be found... Me and mami both started to feel despair and it didn´t help that brodi later found him inside, laying in the corner of the laundry room, behind the water heater... We called on him and poked him with a hockey stick - no reaction. So we immediatly feared that he´d gone to that quiet place to... die. But then when brodi poked him with the stick, Findus awoke and got irritated and when mami told him to come out, Findus "talked" - sounded like 'no'.


At that moment, when I realized that he hadn´t moved for 24 hours, it hit me that things aren´t looking good for my buddy...

Ever since the night he got into a fight with the white cat wreck, he hasn´t been 100 % healthy. The first days after the quarrell it wasn´t looking good at all, and already then I started to fear the coming events - but his health improved.

Also, he´s over 17 years old, so he isn´t a kid anymore... He´s seen the best days of his existance but... I don´t want to say goodbye to him. He´s been a part of my life since I was 7 years old and graduated from second grade. That´s more than half my life...

My heart breaks when I have to think about saying goodbye. I´m seriously crying right now...

❤ I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are The days we had, the songs we sang together

OMG! Look at this setlist! Look at the medley! 3 of my alltime favourite 'Lifers medley songs are in it! OMG!

And they're opening with What about now, closing with Flying without Wings...
I´m missing Us against the World, though... In my opinion, it should be on there.


Dear Lord, how am I supposed to live through this concert...

→ Tonight We are young So let´s set the world on fire We can burn brighter than the sun (TVD Talk | The Departed 3x22)

Hiya!

Before I start with my obsessive, close to compulsory TVD talk, let me complain about the weather for a moment. It´s shite! It´s been raining basically all day, so it was boring as hell to sit in the ice cream stand. I had two customers. Two! And lucky for me, this shitty weather will continue until Saturday. Awesome, just awesome! Not!

At least I can be happy about Finland´s win over France in tonight´s hockey game *woop woop*
7-1 in favour for Finland. Bravo les Lions!



Now, expect some serious TVD talk!





Gaah! It´s going to be a nervwracking eisode... It feels a bit, almost, like I´m afraid to watch it. It´s gonna be over soon, peeps!

I´ve heard rumours that one of the characters of Mystic Falls, won´t make it for season 4. I don´t know why, but I have a feeling that... there might be a risk that the character is Matt, Tyler or Caroline. Please please please don´t let it be Matt...! Nor Caroline, but especially Matt, pretty pretty please!




Also, there´s the mayor moment we´re all waiting for... Who will Elena choose; Stefan or Damon? Y´all know I´m rooting for Delena but I don´t have my hopes set too high, because... Well, those awesome Delena moments have a tendency to always be... cock blocked.

Now following, hints & spoilers:

The moment Elena chooses....

And finally, the icing on the cake ;-)

You´re welcome ;D

♣ But last night We fell apart And broke to pieces

Sleepstar * I Was Wrong





Heya peeps!


We have horrible weather here at the moment, horrible! It´s cold and raining. So you can imagine how my day at work was. Boring! I barely had any clients. However, I got to meet two of the rugrats I was taking care of last year while working at the daycare :) It was nice, as I hadn´t seen them since last Summer.

A moment ago, I did some online shopping. It came to cost a bit, but I think it was worth it. Since I don´t have this blog connected to my Facebook, I can show you what I bought. One of the items I bought, is a birthday gift for mami, and I wouldn´t want anyone to spill the beans to her about it now, would I! ;-)

This is the present for mami, I also bought one for myself of course :)
Also in this colour,  turquoise

I´ve been looking at this bag for a while, thinking back and forth if I should buy it.
Finally, I went for it! It looks so cool!

Both these items are from Canvas Warriors. The best thing with this, is that 15% of the sales of the moonbag and the bracelets, go directly to the IS Foundation. Such a lovely gesture and you all know that I support both the foundation and I love & adore the man behind it - Ian Somerhalder =)

The other items I clicked home, are all from the official shop of the IS Foundation.

It´s in Swedish, I know, but it´s just so... kickass awesome!

Btw, when Robin (the host) started mentioning Erik Segerstedt, Ola, Danny, Eric Saade and Darin I immediatly thought he´d say, 'These are some of the artists who´re coming to Allsång på Skansen this Summer' but that wasn't the case ;)

♣ Life that you lead turned on its head Suddenly someone means more than you felt for

Hey there!




It´s been quiet here on the blog front. I´ve been busy with work (the premiere day on 1 May was a success) and when I´m coming home it´s around 9pm and then I´m already pretty tired - depending on what kind of day it´s been at work.

Today was slooow. I blame the shitty weather.






I watched the latest The Vampire Diaries episode this morning =) It was... a lot of things happened and the ending... Talk about cliffhanger! I´m kind of worried about the season finale next week... I don´t want Damon to leave Mystic Falls in favour for Stelena, Stelena is boring. B-o-r-i-n-g! I´m sorry, I love Stefan  - especially season 3-Stefan - but like I said... Stelena is boring.

Tomorrow I´ll be working from 1pm to 7pm, longer than in the weeks when the stand is open between 4pm and 8pm. The weather forecast doesn´t look good so I´m guessing it will be a looong day. Luckily I have my iPod loaded with music and it´s connected to speakers + I have a book to read.


I´ll talk to you soon! Goodnight!

With Love
