Rainbow connection

Hey there!

Today I went to the gym. To BodyBalance class, with my very favorite instructor. She is really nice. I almost didn't go there tonight but I decided to go, and it was amazing. I was so happy, BodyBalance makes me feel so good. Now I'm at home, listening to soundtracks to some of my favorite movies. I don't know what's "wrong" with me. I feel emotional, blissful and thankful. If I would die during sleep tonight, I would be completely satisfied with my life. I wish I would feel like this every evening. The gym classes have helped me a lot. Fudge, what did I do before going to the gym? LOL..

When I was a teenager, I'm not going to lie, I wanted to marry an American RM. LoL. I was a very silly child. People may say what they want about the States, but it has a very special place in my heart. I have been there only once. To Washington DC and New York city. My dream has been to live in nyc for a few months, just to experience the City. Three days in 2000 isn't quite enough. LoL. I really don't care about Utah etc. I am a different kind of Mormon 😉 My Mom always says I would be happy living in the States. I am not so rich, it's never going to be possible. Well, it's nice to dream.

One thing I would be worried about would be health care. Otherwise everything would be fine and dandy, living in the States. The language... Well, I don't think that would be a problem. LoL. I am so thankful for my teachers who taught me well. Thanks to them, English is my third language, I would say, almost as strong as my native tongues. It's been a long learning experience. I hope my teachers are proud of me, I owe them so much.

Well, that's all for now.

What has been accomplished this year (by me) :P

Hello there!

I just came up with a brilliant idea, if I may say so myself... LOL Now that the New Year is Approaching, I'm going to of course make some promises but also look back on 2016 and look at all the GREAT and WONDERFUL things I've accomplished :) Here they are in a "nutshell" :)

1. I have lost weight: 7-8 kilos to be vaguely accurate :P

2. I've continued to go to the Gym (mainly my favorite class: BodyBalance) <3 p="">
3. I've read 23 books (so far, on the 25th of December)

4. I've gotten my first JOB! As a blogger for Book Riot (I blog about books, duh!)

http://cindersboo.blogspot.fi/

5. I went to my first young single/singles adult convention of the Church, age group 18+... It was FANTABULOUS!!! <3 p="">
6. I started collecting Barbies again and continued collecting MLPs

7. I have started a Bullet Journal

8. I have started to play the piano again (self-taught)

9. I have held a speech twice in Church (once in the second ward, once in the first ward)

10. I have not been at the mental hospital, not even once this year!!! :D

Now, for the "negatives"

1. I have not been on a date

2. I have only been in Scandinavia (Finland and Sweden)

3. I had my first stomach illness in many many many years (on Christmas Eve Eve...)

Well, that's about it :) Not too bad, if you ask me :)

Merry Christmas!!! :)

Hi! Merry Christmas!

This year Christmas has been a little different. On Christmas Eve Eve, I got very ill and ended up at the ER. Good thing my Mom is visiting me so she has been taking care of me. Today my Dad and my Aunt AB arrived from Österbotten, the Swedish-speaking area of Finland. My parents live in Jakobstad and my aunt lives there too. We watched the declaration of Christmas Peace, a Finnish tradition, and ate some riisipuuro with kiisseli. It's a Finnish food for Christmas. Now my Mom is at the drug store getting me some medicine and my Dad is watching TV. My auntie is reading. My cats are... I don't know where they are :P LOL

Oh, I forgot to mention, there's no snow! :( All the lovely snow we had here is gone! All melted away... :'( It sucks. And it's raining. But I'm going to stay inside all day today. There's no way I'm going anywhere today... We're going to watch Disney's Christmas program and open the gifts. First we got to wrap them, of course :P LOL, Christmas is very last minute this year... And the FOOD!!! :) We're going to have so much good food! <3 div="">

Have a great Christmas!

Hello there... I'm back!!! :P

Hiii...

How are you, dear Readers? :)

I'm just fine and dandy, thank you very much ;) I've been busy as a bee. Reading, going to BodyBalance, to Church, taking care of my cats, writing, sleeping, eating :) Life is busy, even when you don't realize that it's busy... People say they "have a life". What the fudge does it mean? To have "a life"? That you're busy? Popular? Pretty? Thin? What IS it? Well, the person who thought of the phrase "Get a life" obviously didn't know him/herself what he/she was saying :) It's not very nice going around, saying they're better than others, that their life matters MORE than someone else's... Even if a person would have the most "boring" life one could imagine, it does not mean they don't have one. I'm a bit fed up with these people who are sooo fashionable, busy busy, while flashing a "beautiful" smile, who think that the only way to be someone is to look down on others, complain and be bitter. I really feel sorry for these people. People who think they are better than others. They don't have time to love. To take care of each other, To be kind... I watched a movie yesterday with my Mom, it was "Cinderella" from 2015. Cinderella's Mom had two words of advice for her daughter: Be brave and kind. We should be brave, dare to be ourselves, dare to say "I have a life", even if we are sitting at home with our cats, listening to Diana Ross and doing "nerdy stuff". (lol, I'm just doing that as I write this... ) Well, this is some kind of personal rant-thingy, I'm sorry :P Anyways... Also, it's important to be kind. Some people think that one is stupid and simple if one is kind. What a joke! :) It's much more complicated to be nice. It takes no effort at all to be mean to the people who are mean to us. It's so easy to judge and be bitter and resentful. It takes true character to be kind. That's why I'm not a good character ;) I get easily offended. But I've become a little better at not being offended. I have tried to think, that what everyone is saying about me, is none of my business. They might think I'm for example: Fat, Old, Childish and Weird... What they think about me says a lot more about them than about me... Beauty and also Fault, is in the eye of the beholder.

Well, this was a bit of a different text this time! Sorry, there was a lot of steam I had to "let loose" LoL

Have a great Weekend with a capital W... :)

Hey there! I'm back!

Sorry I haven't been so active on here. I've been very busy. My friend moved to my city, some friends have been visiting me and I have startedgoing to the gym again. YaY!

Today I've been so lazy, it's making me feel sad. I must say that I am much more happy when I am actively doing things. Hmm, who would have thought that? 😁 I've watched some Mlp and RuPaul's Drag Race. Soon I'll watch a little OITNB. Guess I will be watching that all night. It's my favourite series and very addictive. I've read the book twice. So far... 😉

Yeah, now I am going to watch some Netflix.
Bye!

Oops, I did it again... 😁

Hi, hello!

Oops, I have become addicted to blogging... Again. Well, it's good. At least I'm doing something creative. I just love blogging. English is my third language, it's the third language I learned as a child, started officially when I was 9 but I understood and could speak a bit English before that. I remember how easy English was for me, from the very beginning. You see, I was bilingual from the start. My Mom spoke Swedish to me and my Dad spoke Finnish to me. I was raised in two languages. It made it much easier to learn more languages. I must admit, I have just noticed that I have become better at English than some people who I always thought were good at it. No need to toot my own horn, I'mjust very thankful for the gift I have been given. For the record, when I lived in Stockholm as an young adult, I studied at the University of Stockholm and English was my major. I love the English language. The best teachers I've had have been my English teachers. Well, at the University, my favourite teacher was the Syntax teacher. I never did get through that course... The teacher was too wonderful. He was cute. I had a crush on him for several years. Oops, guess I let out a little secret.

Sooo, where was I? Blogging. Very well.

I have been blogging on a Finnish site, it's been nice. It's sometimes hard to live in Finland and blog in English. But of course, there are English speaking people here too 😊

More later!

Been thinking a lot lately about what is the difference between an ill person and a healthy person? Is it that you know that you are ill? That you know that you are healthy? What is the difference really? I think it is simply the fact that a healthy person thinks that they are above the illness, above the ill person -simply "normal". The thing is, the healthy person does not really appreciate being well. But if a sick person becomes well, they are thankful for every day that they feel good. I know everyone gets ill sometimes. I hope everyone knows that they are not "safe" from all types of illnesses. It must be really easy being healthy most of the time. I'm also mostly healthy all the time, nowadays. I take one day at a time. I feel sorry for the people who think they are better than the rest. That is what proves they really are not. I'm also trying to be more humble. It is not easy. It is so easy to compare yourself with everyone else. I just try not to do that. That's all for now. 😊
