lo go mo

I had a lovely lunch with my dad at Logomo kitchen a couple of months back, and just completely forgot about uploading the pictures I quickly snapped while being there. The food was delicious, especially because I was super hungry! I highly recommend the place for lunch if you're in the area. I don't think it was horribly expensive for being a buffet with good food. I'm slightly bummed out about the fact that I forgot to take a picture of my food, haha!
I'm still going strong with my NaNoWriMo novel, which at the moment has reached the milestone of 30,000 words. I hope I'll be able to finish it, even though I have a lot of reading to do for exam weeks.
I hope you are all doing well and managing with the shift from summer to autumn!

Do I wanna know?

Sanni came to Turku for a couple of hours before she continued on her car journey towards a town nearby. We went to grab some coffee at Robert's, and ended up sitting there for about 3 hours. I swear I could live in coffee shops (and on coffee, tea and filled croissants with brie cheese). Some random updates: I've bought too many dresses lately, but I seem to be in a really girly mood. I'm addicted to tiny tower, I have 21 floors at the moment. Excited about our trip to England in a bit over a month, go follow Minni's blog to get posts from both of us. I bet there'll be a lot of travel-posts coming up.

I guess that's all this time, I didn't really have much to say as nothings really going on. I bought World of Warcraft gametime and I'm participating in this months Nanowrimo. I've written around 5000 words, so I'm pretty much on target to finish on time. I just hope my inspired mood will last long enough to actually finish a book. Anyway, I'm feeling good about this. 

I'm addicted to Arctic Monkeys new album AM. It's amazing. Go listen to it. NOW. 

Until next time, happy start of the month! 

I know places we can go, dear.

Been finding so much lovely stuff at flea markets lately, the weathers been nice and I've had nothing to do which sometimes feels wonderful. Went to an abandoned house to take pictures, such a haunting environment. Found the way to enter one of the houses, but chickened out on actually going inside. We had no flashlights, and it seemed pitch black in there. Maybe next time. 

mellan ett & noll

Foggy mornings are one of my favorite things to take pictures of. I just love the fact that everything looks like a ghost town. I can't even imagine what an actual abandoned town would look like in the hours of fogginess, probably haunting. The mint jumper is from the flea market, and I adore the retro feeling of it.

I discovered that writing about the good stuff is more painful than writing about the bad, weird huh? I guess that's why I haven't made any progress on my book lately... I need to feel inspired again, the question is: when will I?

My friend Sanni came all the way from Tampere to visit me, and we spent a lovely two days together. Earlier today we went to the flea market, where I bought this lovely yellow dress as it's still very summery here in Finland (believe it or not). We decided to cook some dinner, which turned out tasty. I also went to a Karaoke bar for the first time, which was an interesting experience...

Here are some outfit pictures I believe I haven't shared on here yet. Some of them are from when I was still in England, and I've started tp want that ginger hair back again! Opinions?

this one's for you.

So, I finally decided to break the more than too long silence over here. I'm in the middle of a Breaking Bad episode and eating rye-nachos so I'll try to make this a quick one.

Earlier today I went out with some friends to have a small photoshoot. We ended up at an old prison called Kakola. Sadly, we noticed that all the entrances had been solidly locked and there was no way we could actually have entered the building. So that kinda sucked. It was still fun though. I think we had more of a laugh than took good pictures...

I've been working on a lot of projects lately. I've written a lot of my original music, I now have enough to play a 45 minute set of completely my own material. The music of this post is my own, probably one of my best works. You can find me on soundcloud under the name melna morning. I've been painting and doodling a lot, which I intend to tell you more about in a future post. I also discovered my love for poetry a couple months ago, and I haven't stopped writing since. My poetry is way too personal to be published anywhere though, I only show some to my closest friends.

Anyway, I'm going to get back to Breaking Bad now!
Good night, muchachos

rainy mornings.

How to spend a very rainy morning when you don't have school anymore:

- eat breakfast while watching youtube videos

- have an awesome cup of tea

- make a youtube video

-blog about it

tuesday blues.

So, I'm officially done with A-levels! I'm happy that I managed to get through all of my subjects with grace, even music. To 'celebrate' the start of holidays, me and Nana went on a rather rainy trip to Cambridge. Honestly, ever since exams ended it's just been raining and raining and raining.

Anyway, to mark the end of an era called British school I went to get my smiley piercing back. I must say, it actually hurt this time around. I remember not even feeling the needle go through when I had it done back in 2011, but I suppose the scar tissue that formed from the last time made it harder for the needle to get through. I also picked up a pair of creepers from new look and 'Peter Parker' glasses. Maybe I'll pretend I'm an undercover superhero when wearing these glasses, haha.

from the ritz to the rubble.

 Last Monday I went to a BBQ in St Ives with a few friends. It was a lovely day. The sun was shining and the birds were singing etc. you know, a perfect summer day. It was around 25 degrees I think, so t-shirt weather. We bought loads of chicken that we put on the grill. Sadly, I don't seem to have any pictures of the actual food. Ah well, maybe next time I'll snap some pictures of that too. I always forget to take pictures, as I'm one of those people who prefer to live in the moment rather than spending time capturing it. I'm not going to write a huge novel about that day, as it'd probably be boring to read. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves (:

 I want that lovely weather back right now, although it'd probably affect the quality of my revising for exams which are next Monday. Probably won't be blogging before then, scared I might fail music..
