Karoliina's latest news

Hey there!

These past few days have been a bit busy which is a good thing in my opinion. Also Meripäivät started on Thursday in Kotka, one of the biggest events here. As always it is the same every year, lots of drunk people and trash all over the place. I don't think I will ever get used to the fact that people intentionally want to get drunk. In Greece it isn't cool as it is here.
Anyway people have the right to do whatever they want, I am not here to judge anybody.
Also today we celebrated my grandparent's 60th anniversary. I can't imagine what it's like being with somebody for 60 years! They are happy to be together which is the main point  :)

Here are some pictures of these past few days.

Nam!

I have to start eating healthier now. These past few months I have been eating and eating all the time. It's about time to make a change.

Goodnight everybody

Exciting news!

Hola amigos!


As my title says it is obvious that I have exciting news! I finally booked my ticket to Barcelona this morning! I am leaving in two months which seems like a long time, but at least I have enough time to get ready :P
I also bought a new suitcase hihi. It just feels unreal. I have been waiting so long for this and I can't believe that in two months I am really going to be there. I am happy and terrified the same time. This is something totally new for me and I don't know how to deal with all this. When I moved to Finland I had family here and I knew the language which was really helpfull. Now I don't know anybody there and I don't speak the language very well so it is going to be a bit challenging. I am so ready for new adventures though and I want to get to know the Spanish culture and language of course.

What a great day! Also at work we had this new emploee and guess what! Hes was half Greek as well...haha. I had no idea and when I told him that I am from Greece he started talking in Greek and I was like...what is going on! I got so excited ( maybe too excited ) that I probably scared the hell out of him. Hups...
It was nice to speak in Greek again. Being surrounded by Finnish people all the time I have forgotten what it's like to talk in Greek with other people. 

That was it for today! :) Here is a song to celebrate the big day :P

Random stuff...

Hello!

It feels stupid when I don't have anything to say...Oh well, in nine days I will start driving lessons which terrifies me in a way. I have these weird dreams that I have to drive somewhere and then I crash or I can't stop the car. I don't want to get killed or kill somebody :P
If I ever get my driving license I will be more than happy! :)

Here are some random pictures again...
I just love taking pictures of clouds lately! It might sound a bit weird, but there is something fascinating about them :P

I guess that was it for today! I must thank you for your comments! I never thought I would have so many pageviews hehe :)

Problems and more problems

Hey there!

I have been fighting the whole day to put a new picture on my blog, but for some strange reason I can't make it look they way I want. It is either too big or too small and I can't put it in the middle...so annoying. Pretty much this has been one of my biggest problems today... yeah I know it's a bit pathetic.

Anyway  at least work has been going great and I don't make as many mistakes as I used to, plus I helped this new emploee the other day which means that I have actually learned something all this time yey! I am not as useless as I thought hehe :)
I am glad that the people I have been working with have been kind and nice. It's a pitty that I have heard people saying that they haven't been happy with their working environment. Either they have had problems with other emploees or something else. It's sad that people choose to treat other people like shit. After all it is a choice how to treat others. When I was little I always thought that grown ups have never problems with other people because...well they are just grown ups and they know how to communicate and solve problems. It is nothing like that after all! There is still bullying even between grown ups, but people don't want to talk about it because it is thought as something that happens between children or teenagers. It just doesn't make sense why anybody would like to be the "mean" guy of the whole case by treating others badly. Is it a matter of power? Who knows...
Problems never end no matter how old you are after all. I am one of the lucky ones, but I wish I could do something for other people who have these kind of problems at work or at school.

Anyway...maybe I have been thinking too much again.

Going back to my first problem...does anybody know how I can put the title of my blog look like this? Also I have been trying to crop this photo to the right size but when I upload it on here it just looks smaller than it is....super annoying. Also I tried to upload this picture but it also didn't work out very well...

I am just having some technical problems....hoping to solve them soon.

Goodnight everybody!

Manhattan's cheesecake

Hey!

What's up dudes? Hehe...I finally made the blueberry cheesecake I was talking about and it was soooo good! I have no idea where the name comes from, but I had to try it. I must say that making this cheesecake was what I would call " a pain in the ass" because there were so many different layers, but the result was yummy!

Here is what you are going to need:

Step 1: The base

• 10 spoons of butter
• 300 gr digestive biscuits
  
  

Step 2 : The filling

• 100gr sugar
• 400 gr cream cheese
• 2 eggs
• a teaspoon of vanilla

Step 3:  Second layer

• 4,5 dl creme fraiche
• 40 gr sugar
• a teaspoon of vanilla

Step 4 : Third layer

• 4 spoons of water
• 50 gr sugar
• 250 gr blueberries
• a teaspoon of cornstarch 

I tried to make this look a bit more simple, but maybe I got too excited again! A tip for the last layer...put the blueberry sauce before you serve your cheesecake :)

 Enjoy!

Blueberries and Books

Hello!

I don't have anything exciting to share with you to be honest. Lately I have been obsessed with this book that I haven't been able to focus on anything else. I just love books that make you want to read more and more. They might not be good for your eyebags ( yeah I was reading till two o'clock in the morning again), but who cares!

In case you thought that I haven't been doing anything else besides reading...I went to pick up some blueberries yesterday wohoo! My intention was to make a blueberry cheesecake today, but it started raining and I didn't feel like cycling in the rain so my plans changed and I am going to make it tomorrow yey! :)

 I just started reading this book and I love it! The name of the book in English is The Return. I haven't read that much, but the plot is mostly about the Spanish civil war. When I have read the whole thing I will write about it more specifically.

That was about it of my interesting life so far!  

¡Adiós amigos!

Roadtrip to IKEA

Hey!

Wanted some action and we got some action! Today we went to Ikea with Nette wohooo! You can't call it a roadtrip, but it was fun to do something different for a change. Nette had never been to Ikea before so I had to take her there ( okay she was the driver ). It's not the most amazing place ever but it is definately dangerous for your wallet. Let me give you a piece of advice...don't go to Ikea unless you have enough money with you! I tried to keep myself from buying too many things...I ended up buying two towels which is something that I need at the moment :)

So here are some pictures from our little trip :)

 Pose!

 As always I had meatballs and fries...yummy!

This was a good day! Now I am going to grab a book and read something :)
Ciao!
