I had had plans for this weekend! On Friday I
saw my dad and we went for a ride and talked about everything. He stopped near
one park and we went to see his boat place. We talked about everything
important and not so important as we walked and enjoyed the warm day.
We then headed back home. I had packed my bag for the sleep over. As we got
home I got my things on their places and switched on nicer clothes. We went to
the balcony to talk about everything and my dad called to my brother. After
that we continued talking and just enjoying the evening sun.
We heard that there was some band playing in the Hämeenpuisto, so we decided to
go to listen to it. I changed my clothes and we left to Hämeenpuisto. There was
a band playing on a stage but we only got to hear a few songs before they
stopped. There was a small market place there also but all the stands were
already closed. We walked through the market and back to home. My dad’s wife
was away for a night out with her girlfriend so we had the whole night with
each other and we got a chance to talk after a long time. We ate and after that
we started to watch a movie “Braveheart” on the couch.
The movie was so long we got tired and we recorded the rest and went to bed. I
still watched some TV before I turned over and started to sleep. I saw a lot of
dreams but the night went well.
My dad’s wife had come while we were sleeping and they had gone to work while I
was still sleeping. I woke up late and made breakfast while watching TV. When
my dad and his wife got back we hang around and talked about everything. I then
got my things ready and waited for the bus to go back to my mom’s. We said
goodbye and I left. I went for a walk after I got home just to think about
everything and to clear my mind. After I got back home we started to make food
before the Eurovision contest we were about to watch with my mom.
We put on the grill and grilled everything from vegetables to soy wieners.
We then sat down and started to watch Eurovision
Song contest while eating and drinking sparkling wine. We watched it until the
end and the result was a surprise to be honest. But I think the right
contestant won – she had a very good performance. After that we were awake for
a while but then we slowly went to bed and I had had one of the most nicest
weekends of my life...
Today was Mother’s Day! Every day should be a
Mother’s Day but this one day we all can remember our mothers the most and let them
feel they are important. But every day should be that way. My mother is one of
the most important persons to me in this whole crazy world and I like to show
it to her often.
I had already bought her a present before this day and had got her a card which
I gave to her. I woke up in the early morning to say happy Mother’s Day to her
before neither of we would even getting up of bed.
Later that day we went eating outside not
needing for my mom to be in the kitchen the whole evening. We put our make-up
and fine clothes on and left at ahead of time.
I ordered two burritos (there were two burritos in one platter, but they weren’t
that big after all even though they look like it) with spicy bean and pepper
stew filling served with fresh salad and tomato-based salsa Méxicana.
After we had finished we strolled back to the
car and headed back home where we popped up a bottle of pink sparkling wine and
fresh strawberries. Later that evening we sat on the cough watched a movie “The
Proposal”.
The movie was very funny and even we had seen it many times before it’s
always something we can watch again. Overall I had a very good day and saw that
my mother had a nice day too which was the whole point. Mother’s Day or no
Mother’s Day I will continue showing her that she means a lot to me and how
important she is to me.
So today I finally went to see Iron Man 3 in 3D
and may I say that it was awesome! It was full of action and great scenes and
got better and better by the end. The movie combines together two old comic
books which the oldest one were published back in the 1960's. Tony finds
himself unable to sleep and plagued by worry. The main nemesis is a terrorist
leader The Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley) who is responsible for several
bombings around the city. They slowly destroys Tony's world and when he finds
it destroyed and those closest to him threatened, he must find a way to save
them. Along with Robert Downey Jr. also Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle redo
their roles as Stark's girlfriend Pepper Potts and his best friend James
Rhodes.
I would have thought that there was going to be a robotic nemesis against Iron
Man Tony Stark this time like the previous movies but this time it was
different - somehow even a little bit utopian for my taste anyway. The plot
changes when Iron Man's second antagonist Aldrich Killian (played by Guy
Pearce) created a team to further research and create the Extremis virus, which
imparts unusual levels of strength and resiliency to human subjects. It is a nanotechnology
virus which gets to the hands of terrorists. Against of these villains Tony
needs to find out the question does the man make the suit or does the suit make
the man but he needs to reinvent himself without the power of his suit.
The music was great and very powerful this time also and I always enjoy
listening it through the movie experience. I would have needed more intimacy
with Tony and Pepper Potts for Tony let her know that she is the only thing he
needs to protect. I need kisses and hugs and everything. But no. Tony Stark is
Tony Stark. What differs on this sequel in comparison to the second is that you
should have seen the pervious movies or at least the first to see this movie to
understand it all.
I don't really know was this the best Iron Man movie of the three so far but it
was very funny, exciting and full of great action scenes. But it was also quite
melancholy if I may say. I first was worried would there be a sequel referring
to the end of the movie but at the end of the credits there read "Tony
Stark will return" so that's pretty marvelous then. Also because Robert
Downey Jr.'s contract with Marvel ends with Iron Man 3. Even The Avengers 2
most likely brings him back to the role of Tony Stark, Iron Man 3 was clearly
an end of the series so far.
In conclusion I would see this movie again –
definitely! And I believe that I might just will...

May Day is known as Vappu in Finnish. We was
supposed to go to downtown to a May Day market and to see the carnival-style
street festivities in the centre but in the end we decided to spend a nice day
at home. I know that on May Day, Koskenranta (a park near Tammerkoski river) is
absolutely crowded with teens drinking and puking. People young and old -
particularly students - party outside, goes to a picnic and wear caps or other
decorative clothing in the city centre. I tried to gather up some friends but
it didn't really happen. I was supposed to see my father also but he texted me
that they had got other plans for the evening that day and asked to see me on
the weekend. That was fine - but my plans got really thought over again.
But the day was quite nice; I slept late and we made food and drank sparkling
wine and "sima" (a special lemonade from lemons, brown sugar, and
yeast, which contains very little alcohol). We also made doughnuts which we
fried in oil and rolled them up in sugar after that. In the evening I made
potato salad and soy wieners which I fried on the pan - so the most basic and
traditional May Day food ever! Cats were loving the paper confetti streamers
the most. They didn't really understand over balloons though.
”Simaa”
Although we did went to downtown the May Day
went very well. I can’t wait until next year!
Oh, and earlier this week I went to get a movie ticket to "Iron Man
3" in 3D and I also had a sudden urge to buy popcorn from a movie theater.
I have been so excited about the movie!
Oh, and one more thing. May I present to you a glass table and a huge cat butt:
