Touch

Hey hey!! ^_^ Oh how fun was yesterday! Now I've heard enough of the beginning of Star wars soundtrack because my roommate's boyfriend who's also my friend was singing it so much yesterday ;) Hilarious. Then we also went to SRO to watch a premiere of a "musical" (I'm not sure is it a musical or just a play where they sing a lot...) called Mitkä juhlat näistä tuleekaan. It's a play created by SRO's Missio Musalinja and a few other people. It was so good, they are so talented! I went there with four of my friends and there we met three other friends. And after that we continued to a housewarming party that two of our friends had. There were at least 18 of us... All of us are friends, some better than others, but we are friends and when we are together we have so much fun. :) There's no replacement for those people everyone of them is important and so dear. We ate a lot, laughed, sang, talked and just had fun and made so much noise that it sure distracted other tenants of that building.

 

 

But now I gladly welcome March and wish for spring to come! There are so many birthdays in March... How can I remember all of them. So difficult. There's also my B-day ;)

 

 

Last time when I was writing a post I asked my friend what could I write because I had no ideas. She gave me an idea to write about touch between people. So now it's my subject and I'm gonna write what I know and how I think about it. 

 

Dengeki Daisy (I love this manga!!!)

 

Well to start with, touch doesn't only mean being intimate with someone it's also for example hugs, patting someone to head or shoulder or just being next to other. There are many kinds of ways to touch other people and to be touched. "One of the great things in life is to get your hair brushed. - Letters to Juliet" I don't remember did it go exactly like that but it's so true. It's also touching and really feels great. Touch is a very powerful way to show your emotions and also very important. There are situations when you just need to be touched, for example being hugged. You know, those days and moments when you feel absolutely miserable and nothing seems to help but when someone hugs you tight you start feeling better. And being touched also when nothing is wrong is important. It tells you things without words. It might tell you 'you are accepted, you are dear to me, I missed you, I'm glad it's you and nobody else, hi there beautiful, don't care about others I'm here for you, I'm sorry, I want you' and many other things. Every touch you give to some other and every touch you get means something. However sometimes they are just used as a courtesy. For example when you meet a relative or an acquaintance. But there's a huge difference when you hug someone who's important to you and when you hug a person you know from surface. Next time you hug someone pay attention to how you hug that person. Is it a warm tight hug, a quick squeezing hug, a loose light hug, a hug when you barely touch the other or what kind of hug.

 

 

For us Finns touching others seems to be very difficult. Not many of us is used to it and it's a shame. For example I can't remember being hugged almost ever at home. Just lately a few times mum has hugged me but it's so weird that I don't know how to react to it. I'm not used to it. I learned to hug my friends at the secondary school... I was probably something like 15 years old. But just as my friend said "maybe because we aren't touched often enough so many young people have so great need to get a boy/girlfriend". We don't get the touch we need from anywhere else than from our partner. And it shouldn't be so. I think (and also my friend who I talked with) that people don't always realize that a partner is not always what you really want and need. It's just your feelings are mixed and you think you need a bf/gf but really you just miss being close to someone and being touched. And for that many might think that they need a partner but a relationship shouldn't be based on that. I feel it's not right then.

 

 

I think it's so wonderful when you get a hug from someone. Especially when someone surprises you and hugs you when you least expect it. People should do that more often. ;)

That's all for today

Hey! Could someone please get me away from here and take me somewhere where it's warm and sunny!? ^^' Really, it's like you could take a grayscale picture without doing anything to it. Horrible. I have to move somewhere else. That's a plan to make happen.

 

But to the good things: I love Latin music and there's a lot of it in Spotify. Heh, it has so nice flow in it and the rhythm... It's the best dance music there is! Oh, there's another wonderful thing! I got invited to my friend's wedding which is being held in July!! Weeeeeeeee, I'm so happy. ^_^ She will be the most beautiful bride ever! She's so cute and her hair is amazing... So light and long. I really adore it. We were roommates a year ago, I couldn't ask for a better roommate. :)

 

Now I've been reading Until death do us part. I'm so hooked on to it and it's always so hard to stop reading but unfortunately I have to sleep sometimes. I've read only about 40 chapters but so far it's one of the best action mangas I've ever read. There's a blind man, samurai, who starts protecting this one little girl who's being chased. I think the story happens in today's Japan with all of it's technology and stuff like that but the leading character Mamoru Hijikata still uses a sword as his weapon. Well it's no ordinary sword. But it's so cool! -^_^- Well for me the best characters are Mamoru, I like his way of being so rude and careless and I love his hair..., detective Genda, I think he really likes he's job, he is very enthusiastic about it and is also really good cop... and is so handsome o.o'', Igawa, he's very nice and smart and has so cool hair, and also person with nickname India, he's a side character and hasn't shown so much but I think he's very smart too and doesn't give up. Btw is it normal to get attached to some characters? Because it's horrible when a nice character dies and that happens so often. I've really cried a few times when some character dies... I'm a bit scared that I have this soft side inside of me. o.o Hehheh. (pics below are from google)

I checked that my writing is somehow readable and I noticed that I must have a thing for hair... Well, after giving it a thought, it's true. ^^' When I meet someone for the first time I always "check" first their shoes, mouth, nose, hair and hands... Am I weird?

Couldn't be more right ;') lol

 

 

Beautiful

Hi again! ^_^ For the first, check out this song: Start of time by Gabrielle Ablin. It's very wonderful and somehow sounds very sad but also happy and hopeful at the same time. It's a beautiful peace of art.

 

I cut my hair a bit yesterday. Now I have bangs and my hair doesn't even reach my shoulders... I really like it ^_^ It looks cute, thehee.

 

There's something I really wish for. I really wish that people could be told 'you are beautiful', more than a few times a year. Not cute or lovely, beautiful. It's important that everyone could feel that they are fine just as they are. And feeling beautiful/handsome is something I hope everyone could experience. It's not just between partners or friends that you "should" compliment each others sometimes, it's also from a parent to a child. How can a child think she/he is beautiful if no-one tells her/him. I think it's something you have to hear. You are beautiful. Yeah, that's how I think.

 

 

Tomboy speaking...

A few days ago for the first time I saw the music video for the song Chandelier by Sia. First I thought that it was so weird and I didn't get it at all. But when I really listened to the words and saw the video through them I found it very interesting and somehow touching. I have my own thoughts about how the video is to be interpreted (of course) and I'm not gonna write them here because it would take so much time... ^^' Yes I'm lazy. But, put it shortly, I found that video and the song very sad and depressed. For me it was like a statement of how you should be and how you are seen but not how you really are and how people don't seem to understand that. I really like that song, it's very nice. And I absolutely love the hair that girl in the video has! ^_^ Heh. Here's a link to the official music video.

I also read today one manga called Break hands ~ Seiseki wo Tsugu Mono. It was good, not the best ones I've read but good. It was too short... Only 13 chapters so I easily read it in a few hours. I think that usually people pay most interest to the leading and other very significant characters and I'm not saying I wouldn't do that either but this time I liked the character Mitchell Gaiden most. She is one of the characters that show in the manga quite often but I think she is still a side-character. I think her personality is very interesting and nice and she is also very strong in mind. I don't like weak female characters... Those who have to be rescued all the time. ;) Hi everyone, tomboy speaking here.

 

Hahah... I think last night I was very close to go bury myself to our backyard... These embarrassing moments of my life. And this morning I decided that when I next time have a "great idea" in the middle of the night I certainly won't do it. I could have even a bit less embarrassing moments to remember in the future.... It would be nice. ;'D

 

 

Break hands. (pic from google) Mitchell Gaiden is the one in the right sub corner. (is it sub?? I'm not sure...) Well the one with the light hair! ;)

 

 

anime&music

Hi again! I thought that I could start telling about some bands/artist/songs I'm listening to and anime and manga I'm watching. Just some thoughts about them and stuff like that... I will also tell if it's worth checking! ;) Of course it's only my opinion.. But still.

 

Well as I told a few posts ago I've started to listen One OK Rock. It's a Japanese band and plays mostly rock music. I really love it!! And there's something in Japanese rock music that differs a lot from for example American rock music. I don't exactly know what it is but it's what makes Japanese rock music much better than "normal" (western) rock music. That's how I think. :)

 

 

This pic is from google! ;) One OK Rock

 

Yeah, and here's one anime I've been watching lately. It's one of the newest founds I've made. Log Horizon. I've only watched 14 episodes but it's already one of my favorites. It's basic idea is quite similar to Sword art online (I watched the first season about a year ago with my friends, loved it), many people who play MMORPG games get trapped into the game world and it becomes their new reality. I personally like that idea, maybe it's because I really love the idea of totally different world next to ours. Both SAO and Log Horizon are great, I would put them into fantasy/adventure/scifi/action/comedy genres. Hmm.. If you like MMORPG games and some of those genres I mentioned you should check out both of those animes. They are definitely worth watching! :)

News and updates

Hey! Just as an information, I didn't get sick ;) More than thankful for that. I've been sewing one new dress for a few days now. I'm very slow but I don't wanna rush and make mistakes and I also want to do other things than just sit and sew. I also want to start playing some MMORPG game, just don't know what... My friend suggested Maplestory so I guess I could try that. I'm also a bit interested in Age of Wulin and Tales of Xillia2 but because I have no experience of those I can't say are they good or not. Maybe I just need to try :)

News! I have a job interview next Sunday!!! o.o I could be more freaked out than I am... It's probably good. And next Friday I'm gonna meet one person who is the other "leader" of that course I've applied to. It's about that voluntary work in Japan or somewhere.. I'm really looking forward to it! ^_^ I hope I could get there and get that process starting because I would need a visa and there's so many things I should do before departure. So exiting! Oh! And this is also a news... I was smart enough to turn my phone's language into Chinese... And now I'm unable to get it back in Finnish or even English. I've really tried everything. But I'm gonna meet a computer genius next Tuesday so hopefully he is able to fix my phone... Hopefully. Chinese is already a bit too hard for me. Sometimes I wonder how I'm able to be this dumb. ;') I might have thought 'oh crap' a few seconds after I did what I did. Now I've probably deleted a few files from my phone and done some other changes I don't know about but my phone is still working!! ^^' That's all for today.

 

This is how the settings -part in my phone looks like... Well a part of it.

Escape...

Hey :) Today I came to my parents' home for at least a week, I have a vacation! And I also wanted to escape from my apartment because there's this one very infectious virus on my roommate's working place and I've been very paranoid since last Monday. Really can't take it anymore. And I really don't want to get that damned virus... I had it once two years ago and it was something horrible. (Warning... next thing I'm about to write might be a bit disgusting for some people... ^^' I'm still writing it, sorry!) So when I had that virus I literally spent about 18 hours in the bathroom just to vomit out everything I possibly had in my body. Yea, it wasn't nice. And after that I didn't eat or drink anything for the next 48 hours and just laid in my bed. So I think it's pretty obvious why I definitely don't want to experience that again and also why I'm so paranoiac. Next 24 hours will tell if I get sick or not... o.o I've washed my hands so many times that they're getting really dry.

 

But now I have a plan to make at least one dress ^^ It's gonna be light red, not pink, I don't like pink. So I don't have time to get sick! ;')

 

Oh! And Happy Valentine's day ^_^ (even it's not yet but in a few days.)
