Step into my office, baby

On a way to..

Wall.

Welcome to the jungle

I am leaving Latvia today. Here I will add some pics of the rooms where I used to sing, play, talk, sleep, enjoy, eat, cry, cook, wash, clean up and do so many other things. If I miss something, it's these walls. That orangish in the kitchen, yellow in my bedroom and childhood text in bathroom.

Last days in Latvia have been hectic. School stuff, parties, taking care of running things and most of all, stressing about moving. Me and my bags, we're coming home.

hospitalityclub

I resigned from there. I am not longer an HC-member. I am happy with that decicion, I am happy that It's not bothering my life anymore.

I had last party, farewells yesterday. All the people who meant something to me on this half a year came: Gunta, Agnija, Sebastian, Guillaume, Jörgen and Ksenija, Andrej, Sergej, Mikhail from TotC. Lots of other people as well, I counted up to 60 this time. It was not so sentimental as last time, though I didn't went to bar this time. I will save bar to next friday and Studentu Klubs, to see Tribes of the City.

Today we went to Goija with Jeena and Emma, then to bus station to get some pastries and Emma left. After that we were hunting for pizza. Vairak Saule (More sun) was closed and Cili Pica at Forum's had problems to serve all the people (we would have waited more than 1h for pizza). So we ended up to Stockmann's Cili Pica. From there to movies to see Ghost Rider. It's not well appreciated movie in IMDB, but I and Jeena liked it. We had somehow so much better feeling after the movie, so told Jeena as well.

I went to internet cafe to check out mails, but when I came how, I find out that there is some new connection which is free. I am ok with it, so better now than never.

Next weeks plans are quite slow. I will go to some lessons - wednesday and friday. I will probably pop up also to Ensemble lesson to tell the greetings for classmates. On Thursday we're probably going either to Saulkrasti (Sunbeach) or Kolka with Taru. I hope that will be a good trip.

So one more week and then to Helsinki with Kaisa. I hope she's doing well.

the bagpipe

The thing which I've waited from this week: I started bagpipe lessons, and it was (it is) best thing. I like the noise of it, and I heard that I could affort to buy one even right now. I got the right sound out of it, I know the basics to play it, I could even play a tune with it.

I think, I got hooked. Let's see what happens.

Damn Seagulls

they made my day!

DE + Kullervo Kivi

I went to gig, it was great. Alexia and Charlotte, James and Inese were there. It was great to see DE again. I think it was my 25th gig. :) A fan on this age, well, its just one for my each coming year.

Now I am burning Kullervo Kivi to my dad. Its a CD were finnish singer Ismo Alanko sings good old songs.

Saturday started nicely, I have good mood, a bit sad, but still good. I am hosting CS-Patrick today, tomorrow some more NL-people.

disco ensemble

I am listening it. And in couple of hours, I will see the guys playing. I hope I am not the only one over 20 ;) I know, James is coming there, so might be that not.

vilna

I was couple days in Vilnius, this is what i found out
best things there:
architechture
people
view from Uzupis
24 h open maxima
old town streets

People i met there
Lina, Rasa, Akmis, Raimis, Regina, Monika, Donatas, Povas+friends, Regina's neighbours and old lady today at bus

I was wondering why Vilnius in the wintertime again? People? No, I tell you. It's about snow. I love snow views, people try to understand, but they don't. And you know, sitting on a bus on a sunny day just seeing the view full of snow in the countryside, it is the thing i want to see.

I saw cat-soup movie, couple of churches, two stray dogs and on a way back to Riga, 4 deers running on a field.

I heard peter,john and whatisthename of the swedish hippy band with song called young folks-song. I heard one church bells. I heard No Doubt song (haven't heard in Long time). I heard Rasa and Lina laughing. I heard Kaisa on the phone.

I got free hairdressing - thanks to Monika, who studies to be hairdresser. I got lots of good memories. I got only 2 pictures.

I tasted lithuanian fish soup and soja pancakes + different variety of lithuanian beer. I also tasted something between jägermaister + salmari. And it was GOOD.

But secretly, best thing is that I can still be friendly and nice to people, I can meet new people without getting panicked. I am happy that I went there. I feel good now.
