On my previous blog entry I said I would have
something on the next day. So yesterday I was at Deathstars’ gig and it was
great!
I posted a blog entry about my yesterday’s
evening to my second blog, “Infamous Redhead”, with photos from the gig and my
outfit – so check the blog entry out here.
Today I was going to stay at home, not going anywhere at all but went as far as
downtown but only to get pizza... Today was a perfect day in its own way!
I saw my dad today – I was trying to
decide what to wear for a long time and once I was ready, I changed my mind and
went back home to change my jacket.
I should’ve guessed that this was no ordinary “lets-chill-at-home” Friday and
should have put at least some makeup...
Later on the evening, we left to downtown and
went to one of its restaurants which had a re-opening party.
All the tables were full so we went to sit at
the bar. While we waited for the long line to the catering to shorten we ordered
drinks; gin tonic and fresh orange juice with vodka and a hint of vanilla liqueur
– too good! The orange juice drink had a cool name and a story behind it but I
don’t remember it...
After we had almost finished our drinks, we went to the catering line and even
the table was full on meaty dishes, even a vegetarian could find a plateful full of
food to eat! I was more than glad and the food was very good.
The night was saved by a cup of cappuccino – something
I never dare to order anywhere. I considered it as a much needed salvation from
tiredness as well as a dessert.
We didn’t have time to stay at the party until the end because I had to go to
the bus stop so I would not miss the last bus home. We hugged goodbye with my
dad and I got into the bus. When I got home, I was hyper – maybe it was the
coffee, maybe it was the whole awesome day or maybe it was tomorrow... But that’s
another upcoming story to tell.
I had such a great day today! Now I’m waiting what tomorrow will bring along...
Today I came back from Helsinki where I was for
four days to see my brother. I had already packed my bag the day earlier I
left because I tend to forget things when I’m in a hurry...
Arranging my beauty box was another thing... I
had not touched it for months! Lara was more than willing to help me sort out
everything in it.
On Friday I left with a bus to Helsinki and the
bus was officially full! But luckily I had taken my tablet with me from which I
watched a movie during the trip so it went by fast.
When the bus came to its destination, I waited
at the inner city for my brother who was meeting me there, because to this day,
I have never learned to travel inside Helsinki with all the endless busses,
trollies, subway and trains... And I had way too many bags to carry on my own.
We went to my brother’s home – I loved how much effort my brother had put into
this, for he had cleaned his whole home from floor to ceiling. So, we are
twins and have always been close and I always feel we continue our things just
where we left them when we have seen each other last time. Of course we call almost every
day and chat with each other but that is not nearly the same thing than seeing
each other in person.
During the weekend we played a lot! We played
mostly a game “Beyond Two Souls” and a bit of “GTA V” and “Portal 2” – I let my
brother to play the last one all by himself because I can’t just figure that game out no
matter how hard I try! We tend to play well past the midnight every night...
We went to a grocery store in the middle of the
night because the days were spent to everything else but going there. And we
made food even later. And stood up even later – gaming and gourmandizing, of
course!
The mornings were the best; we slept late and
usually my brother got up before I did to start of the day with his playlist of
music while I was laying on the bed.
Then the day started off with coffee and a “healthy
breakfast” which could be almost anything from sweet to savory. My brother had
bought me vegan strawberry cheesecake flavored cookies and as much as he makes
fun of my diet (always with humor!) I appreciated that so much for I thought it
was so thoughtful thing of him to do.
On Saturday we took a day off from making food
ourselves and went out to a restaurant to eat. I loved to get myself ready for
the night. My brother is also very pedantic about how he
looks, even though it still takes him less time to get himself ready than me.
We ordered burgers – I ordered an ultimate
veggie burger with so many fillings the burger was separated in half. The food
came after the last call signal and I was starving but it was more than enough
to fill the void. Ha!
When we got back to my brother home, we continued gaming. We got in the middle
of “Beyond Two Souls” but the days went by so fast, we didn’t have time to
finish the game to even see one of its 24 possible endings! So we decided to
continue the game next time we would see each other... Yes, we already thought
about the next time we would meet.
I was supposed to go there for only for the weekend but because we had such an
amazing time, I decided to stay there for one more day. We also had time to
watch some movies – deciding a movie which would suite for both of us is always
a struggle because our preferences about movie genres are so, so different!
On this morning and our last morning, we were both tired because we had played
so late. I had to wake up before my brother did, so I could pack everything ready.
We left to the bus stop early so I would not be late, so we were there half an hour
early and we had time to talk some more before the bus came. I had promised to
myself that I would not have cried but tears came into my eyes when we hugged
and said goodbye (until the next time).
I always love to see my brother, because it’s
not too often we got to see each other even though he is not that far away. I
also love to see his cat, Mr. Morrison, which I’m as fond of as to my own cats... He was so
full of energy right from the start I arrived that he wore out and slept the
whole day today.
Then I went on the bus, which was not nearly
as full as the one which I went to Helsinki. I killed the time by calling
people and watching the rest of the movie I started to watch when I first left
towards Helsinki... The trip back home went much faster than the trip to Helsinki!
I arrived home at 9 p.m. and as always when I’m coming home from somewhere, I
unpack my things immediately. I can’t leave the bag laying around still
packed... It’s kind of my coming-home-ritual.
To be honest, I have never gone to Helsinki alone so I was very nervous to go
there. But if I would have given up to my own fears I would have never gone to
Helsinki in the first place and I would have been missing all the greatest time
with my brother. So I was beyond overjoyed that I went there!
