Mikä kesä?

Onkos tämä nyt se kesä, josta huhutaan? Lämpömittari näyttää viittätoista astetta, mikä sinänsä on ihan jees koska vihaan sellaista tuskanhikistä hellesäätä, mutta lähtisi edes toi sade pois? Vielä en ole saavuttanut sitä maagista lomafiilistä, vaikka yritys on kova. Eilen piti mennä pyöräilemään, mutta pyörän kumit on tyhjemmät kuin mun pankkitilini. Tänään meinasin lähteä juoksulenkille, mutta kiesus tuota sadetta. Töitäkään en onnistunut nappaamaan, joten oon lähinnä lahnannut kotona... Yritin hakea fiilistä myös vierailemalla parin koulukaverin kanssa Tallinnassa ja Suomelinnassa, mutta tarvitseeko edes mainita, että kummallakin reissulla satoi kaatamalla (Suomenlinnassa aurinko kömpi esiin heti kun olimme matkalla paluulautalle, voi ihanuutta). Mutta vielä on kesää jäljellä, ja toivottavasti tulee kauniimpia päiviä.

Mulla on jo aika viisumia ja rokotuksia varten, ja Kiinan-matka alkaa tuntua yhä todellisemmalta. En kyllä vieläkään ole mitään lippuja ostanut, koska koko juttu on vähän hämärä. En siis tiedä minne oikeastaan olen menossa, kenen kanssa, kuka ostaa lentoliput.... Kuulin kuitenkin, että Shanghain kaupunki maksaa mun kaupungin sisäisen liikkumisen ja ruokailut, eli pääsen ihan veloituksetta syömään niin paljon friteetattua rottaa kuin napa vetää. Nam!

Aah kyllä houkuttelee kävelykierros tuossa säässä <3

Tämä oli oikeastaan mun ensimmäinen kertani tuolla keskiaikapuolella, yleensä pyörin Viru-kadulla, yövyn Viru-hotellissa ja käyn shoppailemassa ainoastaan Viru-keskuksessa, kunnon Suomi-turistin tavoin

Eksoottista neuvostoperintöä

Mitä parhain piilo Viroon sijoittuvassa Assassins creedissa

Nauroin tälle ihan liian pitkään, mutta mulla tunnetusti on surkea huumori

Kattokassis-kattoja

Aah ja tätä jumalaista suklaata oli pakko saada. Miksi oi miksi sitä myydään kaikkialla, PAITSI Suomessa

Tallinnan ruokapaikoista mahtavin on ehdottomasti tämä, Oishii sushi. Tajuttoman halpa sushimesta, jossa annokset maksaa 1-2€ per lautanen (lautasella 2-3 palaa). Keittokin oli vain 1,5€ ja varsin maukasta. Jos siis sinnpäin olette menossa ja japsiruoka iskee, niin suosittelen ehdottomasti!

Ja koska me käväistiin siellä koeviikon aikaan, niin kaikilla oli tylsästi koulukirjat mukana ja laivamatkat sujuivat mukavasti opiskellen :I

Nämä siis nappasin paluumatkalla, muuten sainkin kärvistellä kananlihalla, koska muureilla kävikin melko navakka tuuli, ja siihen yhdistui vielä se ihanainen sade. Emme kuitenkaan halunneet heittää aurinkoista kesäkeliä täysin hukkaan, joten jäimme sitten vielä Helsinkiin loppupäiväksi lorvimaan.

Huoooh, siinäpä on tiivistelmät ja reissukuvat parilta viikolta. Mutta nyt mulla on Kaksin karkuteillä DVD:llä, jospa sillä saisin aikani kulumaan. Ainiin, Conchita tulee piipahtamaan Suomessa yksillä festareilla. Ovat kotikaupungissani, joten olen sinne ehdottomasti menossa. Kaija Kookin siellä taitaa olla, äiti tahtoisi häntä kuuntelemaan, lupasi maksaa mun lippuni siinä samassa. En ole sitten yhtään festari-ihmisiä, mutta kai sitä tän kerran voi uhrautua.

 Previous photos are from my short stay in Estonia & Suomenlinna. So far the weather has been super windy, rainy and cold. If you're lucky it might get up to 15 degrees. Gotta love the Finnish summer, no? Besides these trips I haven't done anything special really. I've got my papers filled and will get visa in 2 weeks. I also heard that all my meals and transportation within China will be payed by the city of Shanghai, which is obviously great! Now all I need to buy is the plain ticket. Takeoff in 4 weeks, I'm so excited!

Review: Beuberry Poppy green & Barbie Puffy 3 tone blue

This review is something I wanted to do a loooong time ago. Since there aren't that many circle lens reviews on green eyes (or light eyes in general), I thought this might help someone. I am not getting paid for doing this and lenses are bought with 100% my own money so this was made of my own accord. I must apologize for bad pictures, taking photos with flash was difficult and also for some reason my focusing didn't turn out that well. First of all, here is a photo of my natural green eye color.

1st: G&G Shinny Aqua blue (= Barbie Puffy 3 tone blue)

Diameter: 16.5mm

Base curve: 8.6

Water content: 38%

Replacement period: 12 months

Color & design:

Perfect! I wanted to get blue lenses but it's hard to find ones that would match with my green eyes. These instead blend really well to one's natural eye color and they also look very natural. I usually prefer lenses with tiny black rim, but in my opinion these are just fine without. Color is nice and bright, it pops out but not too much to make my eyes look overly fake.

one lens in

Enlargement:

They are claimed to be 16mm lenses with 17mm effect. My eyes sure do look a bit larger, but I'd probably say the're more like 15mm or so. Without black rim they do not enlarge as much as I wish but if you're looking for natural eyes rather than fake&gay, these are the lenses to go.

outdoor/window

Comfort:
When I first put them on it felt like my lower lids were on fire. It still takes my eyes some time to get used to them, but after that they feel like nothing. When I went to ESC, I had to wear these 17 hours continuously (I don't recommend doing so) and didn't feel fuzzy at all. So if I know there won't be a chance to take my lenses off for a while, these are my trusted friends.

indoor

Overall:
Great lenses, after my eyes get used to them. They look very natural and their vivid color blends well to your own eye color.

2nd pair: Beuberry Poppy Green

Diameter: 16mm

Base curve: 8.6

Water content: 55%

Replacement period: 12 months

Color & design:

Finding a perfect match for my eye color is difficult, but I think this is quite close! Even though the green is colder than mine, they blend really well. Unfortunately these lenses are quite dark (especially in indoor light) and I'm not sure how well this great design would show off on darker eyes. But I am very pleased. Black rim makes my eyes look extremely huge and in my opinion the color still looks somewhat natural.

Enlargement:

Size is told to be 16mm and that's pretty much how they appear to be. The effect given by these lenses is amazing! just enough to make people look twice ^^ What else can I say? I love them.

indoor

Comfort:

I've had some bad experience with circle lenses before and after that these felt like angels' whispers on my eyeballs. Due to their high water content (55%) I can recommend them for dry-eyed people as well. One day I forgot to put lens solution to their case, but some liquid revived them overnight and they are as good as new! I've also been wearing them up to +12 hours continuously (recommendation is 6-8h) and I still haven't got cancer. Ofc because they are so.. watery, they are a bit thicker than average lenses, so I can clearly feel them when blinking. Also they aren't the ideal ones to wear during the wintertime (at least if it's -25c like here) because they are so huge and it felt like my eyes were freezing D:

outdoor/window

Overall:
I think these lenses are great if used in accordance with the instructions. They look natural, yet dolly and the color pops out at least on light eyes. So far my favorite lenses, 5/5 would recommend.

My first ever review, how bad is it? Not something that I would normally post but I wish you enjoyed anyways.

#JoinUs! ESC 2014 3/3

 Olen palannut Tanskan-matkaltani ja reissu odotti kyllä odotukseni täysin. Kööpenhaminassa olen ollut ennenkin, mutta vain kauttakulkumatkalla kun lähdimme seikkailemaan autolla Tanskan maaseudulle. Mutta tosiaan, tällä kertaa retki suuntautui maailman suurimpaan musiikkikilpailuun, eli Euroviisuihin, jollei joku sitä nyt ole vielä onnistunut huomaamaan. Isä päätti palkita hyvän koulumenestykseni matkalla, koska en tosiaan aiemmin olekaan päässyt katsomaan viisuja ihan paikan päälle. Mahtavinta oli nähdä kaikki se, joka telkkarissa jää piiloon. Kaikki esivalmistelut, yleisön viihdytykset, lavalla esitystenkin aikaan juoksevat ninjalaumat ja mahtava meininki! Monet laulut kuulostivat livenä tuhannesti paremmilta, etenkin Venäjän tytöt kuulostivat yllättävän hyviltä. Tässä siis matkan kuvasatoa, koitin ottaa sellaisia "behind the scenes" -kuvia viisuhumusta, koska itse Euroviisut ja esiintyjät voi kurkata Areenasta mikäli niitä haluaa katsella. Kaikki kuvatekstit ovat tuollaista junttienglantia, koska postaus näyttää siten omaan silmääni siistimältä kuin kaksi allekkaista tarinanpätkää.

I'm back from Denmark. Dad wanted to reward my good grades and so we took a flight to Copenhagen. I've been there earlier but that time we only visited the countryside. This time my destination was worlds greatest music contest! It was so awesome to see everything behind the cameras e.g. all the preparations, black ninjas all over the stage even during performances, karaoke for audience before the actual show and amazing spirit! Many songs were better in real life, Russia's song for example was actually kinda good. So here are some of the photos I took. Mostly "behind the scenes" stuff because if you want to see Eurovision itself you could just watch it online.

"Fan mile" filled with banners, little food stands and stuff

For some reason this is one of my favorite photos from the trip

Tom of Finland spotted!

Malmö?

#happywall

Denmark - Where even power outlets are smiling

It was SO CLOUDY nearly all the time so I was extremely happy to see a glimpse of blue

Visited Kastrup. Warning, boring "pretty" photos ahead!

Embassy of Finland

That grass kinda reminds me of Teletubby land

B&W halls

I've been in Copenhagen earlier, but never  bothered visiting The Little Mermaid statue

Well at least I wasn't alone

Fancy-pancy socks

Tivoli

Eurovision village

Where can I get these, please

MEP-elections were coming, as you can tell

They were showing semi-finals (& the grand final as well) on screen

Only in Denmark

 If you think I'm always wearing fancy outfits, you are terribly wrong. On Friday I was wearing brown maxi-skirt with brown coat and rocking horse shoes, so exciting! Nevertheless, some people still asked if they could take a photo with me D: Saturday was loli-day feat my romper. Random Irish guy told me that if I ever participated in ESC I would make it to the final no matter what I sang because my legs are so awesome. I totally agree.

Random fishy face

I bought myself a Pascal from Disney store ♥

Hot dogs or hot legs?

SOON

There were DOZENS of karaoke-stands, filled with Eurovision hits of course.

There were bars, sandwiches, live music and stuff behind the entrance gates

It was HUGE

People were already shouting for Conchita before we were even inside (dat face in the corner tho)

I got beer spilled (or poured) on me at least seven times, but thanks to it I met so many amazing people there! These lovely girls were from Austria (obv) and I also chatted up with some nice Frenchmen, Brits and extremely good-looking Norwegians. Unfortunately, I didn't ask anyone's name. Sigh u_u

Mm yeah wipe it

One of the staff members had a birthday and we sang to him ^^

Some people in the crowd had confetti cannons for the hosts' entrance thingy

WHAT TEAM

Second row, bitches! In front of me were only these ~160 cm Spaniards so no one was blocking my view. I had ticket for floor one, but no idea where it was. Nobody was checking tickets anyway so I just joined the Fan zone

Work in progress... 

Azerbaijan, Norway, Armenia, Poland, Austria, Sweden, Russia (look how tiny they are!)

I wasn't able to hear anything what the hosts were saying but luckily there were "subtitles" lel

Yay Nordic nails

I don't know whether this was shown on TV, but the audience was waving rainbow flags & hooting during the WHOLE Russian perform. I felt so sorry for the twins it almost made me cry. People need to understand that Putin's opinion =/= Russians' opinion. These sweet girls have done nothing bad to anyone and oh my gosh I'm so angry but hopefully you get my point.

Tolmachevy Sisters. They were so cute! ♥

Conchita

My flaggy flag

First I was little worried...

I am more than pleased by the results, at least the top three. I'm so glad the jury enjoyed Conchita as well. Netherlands did way better than I thought it would and our placement wasn't bad either!

B&W halls exploded while Conchita's reprise 

Random selca after the show. AND IT WAS SO AWESOME! I still need to watch it online and try to spot myself.

Home sweet home, back to gray and depressing Finland.

In addition to the Swedish flag I was wearing, I managed to find Icelandic & Austrian flags.

Italy's Emma

Olisin halunnut jäädä pidemmäksikin aikaa toki, mutta koeviikko kutsui. Tänään korkkasin sen kiinalla, jonka suoritin vartissa. Liian helpot kokeet on aina karmivia! Sunnuntaina on Hanami Roihuvuoressa, ja tällä hetkellä opiskelun lomassa yritän saada asuni sinne valmiiksi. Tarkoitus olisi mennä shironuri-loleissa, saas nähä miten käy. Peruukki ei vielä ole tullut ja sen puolesta pelottaa. Koitan saada sieltäkin jotain materiaalia räpsittyä. Toivottavasti keli vähän paranisi viikonloppuun mennessä! ^^

Of course I would've liked to stay there a little bit longer, but school was calling. Today I had Chinese test and somehow I managed to finish it in 15 minutes (we had two hours). On Sunday I will go to Hanami and currently I'm trying to finish my shironuri-lolita outfit. Wig still on its way but I've got my fingers crossed! I just hope the weather will get better by weekend ^^
