Summerrrr is here!

It has been such a lovely day~! It was really warm outside, the best weather ever to start the summer. WARNING: I fail in English in this post. –___-''

Today I went to school for one hour and now I have eleven weeks of freedom ahead! I enjoyed the beautiful weather by going to two graduation parties with my family. I got some colour on my face and hands but most people wouldn’t be able to see any difference. My skin is so pale that it usually gets burned if I stay in sun for more than ten minutes at a time. Am I a vampire or what? x) Here’s a photo of the dress I was wearing. I bought it in 2005 and it still fits semi-well. But I promised myself this would be the last time wearing it.

The pic is small but there’s not too much to see anyway.

Sorry for the lack of updates, btw. ^^' I’ve been really worn out because of all the school stuff at the end of the semester. Tests and portfolios and everything… And two weeks ago I noticed my weight had dropped by about two kg. I obviously got very worried since my body mass index has always been too low and now it was only 15,6. ;;___;; I kinda got over that the next day though because I know my weight varies quite much depending on the time of the day and the things I eat. Just as I thought I had nothing to worry about I got sick. Last Saturday I woke up at 6:30 to throw up. I won’t go into details here and I’ll just say that I threw up far too many times to count until 9 p.m. May 23rd 2009 went straight up to my list of worst days of my life this far. (Now I’ll skip all the angst I still had left and move on to brighter things.) The next day we went to Lahti to celebrate my Granny’s birthday. I was dead tired but not nauseated. It was a very nice party and to my very pleasant surprise my cousin asked me to be her son’s godmother! I’m so exited about that~!

I was going to write about Jean Michel Jarre’s concert two weeks ago but it kinda slipped from my mind when all the previously mentioned things happened. The concert was great, obviously, full of lazers and cool effects. I could feel my whole body resonate to the beat of the bass and we only sat on row 32! JMJ really knows how to throw a great show! You can read his own thoughts about the tour here and about the gig in Helsinki here. Of course I had to buy the tour t-shirt. Here’s a pic:

It’s so cool! And it fits better than any other band shirt I’ve bought. Well, the shape of my Queen musical shirt would probably beat this one if it was slightly longer. And this one is maybe a tiny bit too tight. But who cares, I love this!

I went to Lahti again last Thursday, this time to see Carmina Burana. It’s a great piece, if you ask me, though I got a feeling that I’ve been listening to it a bit too much. It was great anyway. ^^

And now some nail polish swatches! I’ve got two pics for you. The first is what I’m currently wearing, the promised O.P.I. I’m Not Really A Waitress. (INRAW=In raw :P I admit it – I’m tired.)

Inraw

L.O.V.E. this colour, even though I had problems photographing it.

And here’s L’Oréal Star Magnet Magnetic Silver:

I’m far from pro with this one! It was a nice experience, but I’ve already used half a bottle of this and I still can’t nail it (lol), I had to do a few nails multiple times to get a decent result. And there are some air bubbles too. ;;__;;

I guess that would be all for now. I’m hungry and tired. ;;__;; I hope I’ll have something to write about so that I can update again asap. ^^

Feeling slightly better already

Yayy, good news! I think I’m finally getting better after too many days of sneezing and coughing and feeling generally terrible. I feel much more alive already, though I still can’t taste a thing.

Here’s a pic that about sums up my weekend:

weekend

Queen, nail clippers, glass nail file and deep blue Chanel nail polish. Yeah, that’s pretty much it for my long awaited time to relax. Mom bought me the nail clippers and glass nail file from a local market, so now I have slighty shorter and hopefully slightly prettier nails than on last Friday. ^__^ I bought myself a pretty glass nail file with Swarowski chrystals on it less than four months ago, but I managed to break it two days after buying it. No need to say I felt stupid.

You know you want to see them, so here’s a photo of my nails:

Yeah, you can laugh at my bad nail polishing/photographing skills now. If it wasn’t for the flash, that polish would look much darker, almost black. In fact, I’ve never seen it as blue as it is in the photo. And I have yet to learn how to live with my slightly shorter nails… And gosh that photo makes my nails look so ugly. X_x The more I look at it the worse it looks. Oh well.

Oh yeah, I had that Queen CD in the upper photo too. I’ve been listening to Queen a lot this weekend. I just love that band! Their music is so variable and fresh in an old-fashioned way. I really like the kind of music that sounds like it was made a few decades back. <3

Tomorrow I’ll give yet another shot for those curlers… But I won’t be sleeping with them in my hair, that’s for sure. I’ll just keep them in my hair for a while in the morning. I have an English test tomorrow, by the way. No, I haven’t read at all yet. I have, however, studied math, and that is a big accomplishment for me. Still have to do a few more exercises and maybe my teacher will let me do the test on Tuesday. ^^’’

Oh, I forgot to tell you about the torturous part of my weekend: watching High School Musical 3 with my sister and her friend. Pure torture indeed. ;;____;; My sister is so in love with Zac Efron. Gah.

Now I’ve gotta go see what my parents are doing downstairs. I think I’m hearing some good music. ^^
