Perjantai illan ilot - So happy it's Friday

I'm feeling very tired but happy. I managed to do one assignment on time today. Yippee! Now we are making brownies and drinking sider. Nam!

This is how our little family looks like. Kisu and Pörri are on the photos.
Piki does not like to be photographed that much. She is having her 8th birthday on 29th of this month. I guess it's going to be party time!







Jiihaa! Kvantitatiivisten menetelmien kolmas tehtävä tehty. Hirveässä hädässä vikana päivänä työpäivän päätteeksi, mutta tehty kuitenkin. Olen superväsynyt ja kurkkukin tuntui taas vaihteeksi kipeältä, kun odottelin 30 minuuttia bussia jääviimassa. Eipä nyt kuitenkaan ruikuteta enempää. Brownie valmistui juuri ja taitaa olla herkuttelun aika.

Unelmien apinamies

5 minuuttia, enempää en pystynyt. Ei vaan pää kestänyt näin turhaa ohjelmaa. Uskomatonta sontaa. Aikaa voi kuluttaa paremminkin, vaikka seuraamalla kun maali kuivuu seinässä.



Ne jotka tätä seuraa, niin kymmenen pistettä ja papukaijamerkki teille.

A cat quote of the day

Sometimes he will sit on the carpet in front of you looking at you with eyes so melting, so caressing and so human, that they almost frighten you, for it is impossible to believe that a soul is not there.

-Theophile Gaultier (1811-1872)

It's Friday again!

It's Friday and I'm tired.

I just had Elina over and we had few glasses of wine. We had really nice time chatting about things.

I've managed to do my assignments on time although I have not been in a mood for studying. Today I wrote an essay about Japanese newspapers. I have to say that the issues what they write about are a bit different than what I'm used to reading about in Finnish or European newspapers. The newspapers give you a pretty disturbing image about Japan and Japanese life etc.

Tomorrow I have to study for an exam and on Sunday too. I also have to practice Chinese.

I think I can now reveal one of the big changes in my life. I have discussed about this so it is official now. I'm going to stop working for a while and concentrate on my studies. This is only going to happen in next August. I think it will be really good for me in many ways. I have been so worn out for these years. Last autumn was really difficult for me. So before I loose my heath I should really do something about this situation.

Thats about it now.

All I know now is that I'm going to sleep so good and so late tomorrow and in the morning I'm going to enjoy the Hesari (the official newspaper of Helsinki) and a delicious breakfast.

Good night my dear readers!

Happy Year of the Rat!


The new Chinese year has begun today and it's the year of the rat.

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. The Chinese year 4706 begins on Feb. 7, 2008.

Chinese months are reckoned by the lunar calendar, with each month beginning on the darkest day. New Year festivities traditionally start on the first day of the month and continue until the fifteenth, when the moon is brightest. In China, people may take weeks of holiday from work to prepare for and celebrate the New Year.

A Ratty Year

Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality. Those born in rat years tend to be leaders, pioneers, and conquerors. They are charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking. Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Affleck, Samuel L. Jackson, William Shakespeare, and Mozart were all born in the year of the rat.



Fireworks and Family Feasts

At Chinese New Year celebrations people wear red clothes, decorate with poems on red paper, and give children "lucky money" in red envelopes. Red symbolizes fire, which according to legend can drive away bad luck. The fireworks that shower the festivities are rooted in a similar ancient custom. Long ago, people in China lit bamboo stalks, believing that the crackling flames would frighten evil spirits.
The Lantern Festival

In China, the New Year is a time of family reunion. Family members gather at each other's homes for visits and shared meals, most significantly a feast on New Year's Eve. In the United States, however, many early Chinese immigrants arrived without their families, and found a sense of community through neighborhood associations instead. Today, many Chinese-American neighborhood associations host banquets and other New Year events.

Chinese New Year ends with the lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the month. Some of the lanterns may be works of art, painted with birds, animals, flowers, zodiac signs, and scenes from legend and history. People hang glowing lanterns in temples, and carry lanterns to an evening parade under the light of the full moon.



In many areas the highlight of the lantern festival is the dragon dance. The dragon—which might stretch a hundred feet long—is typically made of silk, paper, and bamboo. Traditionally the dragon is held aloft by young men who dance as they guide the colorful beast through the streets. In the United States, where the New Year is celebrated with a shortened schedule, the dragon dance always takes place on a weekend. In addition, many Chinese-American communities have added American parade elements such as marching bands and floats.



If I have time today I'm attending the Chinese New Year celebration at Caisa.

Maya astrologiaa

Sininen Kristalli Apina

Sininen Apina

Olet utelias, ennakkoluuloton, viehättävä, älykäs, hyväksyvä ja nopeasti oppiva Sininen Apina, Magian voima. Seurassasi tuskin kenelläkään pystyy olemaan tylsää. Seuraa sinulla on, koska huomion saaminen on sinulle välttämättömyys. Pidät huolen siitä, että mielenkiinnon kohteita ja toimintaa riittää. Sinulla on upea taito tehdä useita asioita samanaikaisesti. Huumorisi on todellinen lahja maailmalle.

Kristalli

Sinua ohjaava numero kaksitoista on yhteistyön kristalli sointu, joka tarkoittaa monimuotoisuutta, hyvin monimutkaisen vakauden ylläpitämistä. Tämä sointu vahvistaa mahdollisuuksiasi ja taitojasi yhteistyön tekemiseen muiden kanssa, kuitenkin muistaen, että samalla sinulle on tärkeää säilyttää oma riippumattomuutesi. Mayojen kaksitoista on pyöreän pöydän kokous, jossa aikaisempien numeroiden yhdestä yhteentoista kokemukset kerätään yhteen ja yhdistetään.
