Pics from Boomi Annual Ball

Me, in my evening dress and pimped. ;)


















Two-pack King's Cup. A good idea??

Every day I miss you more and more...

Hi ya fellas - and a HUGE apology for this long pause I've taken with this blog. But - as you can probably imagine, I'm a busy woman! ;)

During these weeks of silence here on my notorious site, my life has been everything but silent, calm or steady. Actually on the contrary: there's been parties (naturally), trips all over the place, job interviews, job application refusals (lots of them :'( ) and more parties...

At the moment I'm feeling a bit more optimistic since I got called to an interview today. It's the leading media agency in Finland - they were looking for a TV planner. I applied - and today they called me in for an interview! :) :)
I also have gotten positive emails from Procter&Gamble, to which I applied for an internship. There should also be an interview coming up sometimes now. My third option is a Finnish medical company, which is looking for a sales assistant - and that interview should also be this week.
So, there are possibilities in the air - I hope to get lucky on at least one of these. Otherwise I have to go selling magazines... Which would suck! Big time!

Ok, but enough on my job possibilities. More about me. Heh.

Last week we took a break. From what, that I don't know, but anyway we did. Or, actually Olli and his parents did need a break, I just transferred my doing-nothing up to Lapland with them. ;) So, ya, we were in Lapland, more specifically in Salla's Naruska, from monday to friday. Olli's family has a cottage up there, it's in eastern Lapland, some 100km north from arctic circle - so yes, there was plenty of snow, reindeer and other northern hemisphere thingies. We were literally in the middle of no-where; so far away from civilization that my cell didn't have service up there. But it was just beautiful, peaceful and laid-back week, while Finnish Lapland offered it's best: for the whole week it was -0-3 during the day, full sunshine and the whitest snow. But as everyone knows; pictures tell more than thousand words - so everyone can build their own images from these:

All and all, the trip was great - we did nothing much: read books, played games, skiied (cross-country), made Karelian pasty, sat around a fire and just enjoyed the unrushed atmosphere.

There was Olli's school's Grand Annual Ball preceding this Lapland vacation - which basically meant two days of semi-serious drinking. Or OFFICIALLY it was/is this dignified academic celebration: on friday there was the actual ball, where boys were dressed in their tail coats and girls pranced around in their evening dresses - and being civilized and all. Well - after a four-course meal with full wine menu and few schnaps all of you can imagine how it turned out to be... Then on saturday we had Sillis - which is, literally, a herring breakfast. Actually what is hidden behind this repulsive-sounding name is just the fact that one has to get drunk. Again. During day time... There we did set up a TWO PACK KING'S CUP. And the rest is history... Fun, most of all fun history!! I would've added more pics, but for some reason this stupid Blogger-system won't let me. So, I'll add them to another posting! :)

But. This posting was confusing, disorganized and anyhow very Vilma-like - or what you say. Brookfield Hall gang: r u still alive?? Send email, come to say hi in MSN - what ever... Miss ye!
