Exactly one year ago, on this very day, I landed in the middle of Christmas, literally. I had just spent eight amazing and life-changing weeks in Africa. At the time I was really feeling homesick and I can't describe the great feeling being back home (and skipping all the dreadful Christmas hassle). When we we're in Africa with my friend Mikael (who is by the way spending his Christmas far away somewhere in Australia - merry Christmas to you!), we agreed that it's always fantastic to travel, but it's vital to have a home where to come back. It was the very same feeling I had on the 22.12.2008. Self-portrait taken at the top of Ngong Hill, nearby Nairobi.

thursday is not my favourite day anymore
For weeks, Thursday used to be the day when all brightened up; I'd see friends while riding my bmx and even take some (or lots of) alcohol in the evening. This Thursday was not one of those. Our indoor estate was under construction and thus closed. No friends from Turku or any other antistressors. In addition, it's dark as hell and cold as fuck so I had no other chance than to bore at home, just like this frog boy.

I just had definitely one of the most bestest weekends in my whole life. It included: drinking, Turku, sweet friends, drinking, Tapio, drunken games (such as "you-be-a-professional-supermodel-and-im-the-professional-photographer" or the 2€-souvenir-game), laughing, crying, laughing my ass off, talking, drinking, dancing, hugging, kissing, nudity, car stunts, a premiere, monkey, monkeys, drinking, reserving hotel rooms and having the best time of my life.

For the first time in few months we actually got a glimpse of real sunshine in Finland today. Of that glimpse, I got a smaller five-minute-glimpse whilst pedaling to work. Even though it lasted just awhile, it couldn't make me more happy. It gave me hope - hope of the upcoming spring/summer days. They are coming. Slowly maybe, but still coming!

pass me the energy drink
Partying has always been a stress-eraser for me. It's a great way to clear your mind. I haven't been doing that for ages now. I've also noticed how I've become more snappy now. Maybe my body has noticed it too, because I have slept for the past nights very little by accident, as one night stayed awake is similar to 1‰ alcohol in blood...
