+Sometimes you just have to+

Last weekend me, Nori, Ruscky and Sanny headed our ways to Bobo x Sam engagement party. I had a problem with finding fitting clothes for the event. Thanks for Sanny and Ruscky for helping me!

The place was pretty crowded so I didn't get 

a full picture of my outfit, but at least here is my pretty face :')

Nori and Bobo. I failed on Noris make-up using too light BB- Cream :'D

God I am so sorry honey!

Hah, Sanny and I were the fab of the party!

Oh Sam's family dog, he was so poor that he didn't know where to stay 

in the house with all the people.

The parties like this are not a place for me and here I had to prove it to myself one more time. I feel everytime like a complete outsider who has nothing to say to anyone. And usually I am the first one out. It goes pretty much the same way in my own parties if there attends some relatives or moms friends. But the party ended nicely and we even got a ride home!

Maybe one day I will care about other people so much that I would actually push myself against all my own will and just talk to them all small talk. It's just so damn hard when I really am not interested in them at all. I feel like a faker and that's all I hate. But yeah maybe one day I will see these things differently. I am still young and a lot in my past to be settled in my head and heart. The bullies have always a talent to leave a mark so deep that you don't even know from where to start look for it and how to fix the damage that it might have caused. 

Sometimes it just feels like no-one around understands truly how bad I had it back then. Everyone says "oh you". It's not oh ME it's oh them! I was a victim back then but I don't have a need to be treated like that for the rest of my life. I am a hero of my story and I don't need to be saved anymore. I got myself up from so down that I made only one promise, to never get back there. All I will get in my life I will get because of who I am. If some people are not my type or don't get me I am not going to waste a minute of my life with them. Life is too short to be pleasing either you boss, or parents, or awful relationships. Every minute is away from you. You want to wake up after 40 years to notice that you have no idea of you you are or what you wanted to be. You've become someone that others had turned you into. 

I want to say to all of you. Tough sometimes it might get you hard to be truly who you are, sometimes you might get a lonely feeling inside for not fitting every group, it's okay.

In the end you are going to feel you did the right thing. How awesome will it be when in the end you notice you are really surrounded by all those amazing people who you gathered around you.

When you stay true to your self you can get anything in this world.

My and here I was suppose to just write about a party. 

Well it made me think. It's nice to write something real unexpected!

Till next time!

+My Pink Retro Wonder+

Next up I have the camera review for you that I promised around Christmas.

I wish I read one before I started using this, so here we go! I used some

ready pictures from the fuji films original website to show you better!

My camera is branded by Little Twin Star by Sanrio. So there came cute stickers and film along with it to fit the brand and make it adorable.

If you are not a Japan fan below there are the only color choices for you! 

Pic one with personality because that's what this camera is all about!

This is something real important that I didn't know before I started using this camera.

Normally in cameras those little marks like "cloud" and "Sun" are marks of white balance. Means how warm or cool the shades in the picture will turn out. But in this camera those symbolize the exposure of the film. The brighter the symbol like the sun the darker the film will exposure its self. In English, if you are indoors and use the lock on the sun, the picture WILL turn black. Flash is always automatic but it doesn't mean that the picture will appear anymore brighter.

So if you are outside and there is very bright sunny day, you'll set the curse to the sun with a few of shine, cloud in shadow and house in doors. But there is one thing you should know. The film everytime tries to get a little reading under exposure that is correct. I suppose it's so that the film won't get over bright in any state. But I personally don't like it!

Then there is the Hi-key. I tested it indoors and outdoor. It gives the photo a nice high light effect! I'm in love with it and use it everytime. Up there is an example photo of the difference!

Okay, here you think that the most simple part is when you press the shutter release button, English the button that takes the picture, and the picture comes out from the top. 

Yes it is simple, after that you don't have to do anything but wait till the picture is ready. It takes around 8 minutes to be in its complete form result. But In this moment you might notice on the few first tries that the picture is all blurry and not sharp. I noticed this after one film. The shutter button is real quick and sensitive. It's very near where you place your hands when you hold the camera. You have to slightly press the button before taking the picture. Once you see the lens has found the target you are taking a picture from then you can let go and press to take the picture. It takes a little time to practise and still it's gonna give you a little miss calls. I don't really like that in this camera. The focus should be more simple.

 In case you like this film I took a few pictures of how all 10 pictures in the pack look like.

   

And those were my first practice pictures. Most are crap, I'm sorry!

The last one is tuto for how to insert the film inside!

+Rock The World In Orange+

Orange is not my color. I hate how warm and bright color that is and natural. Well I took a risk. I have started to use orange lip tint, eye shadow and nail polish. And from the after Christmas sales I got a pair of super warm ankle boots IN ORANGE.

My shoes are not too fitting for this freezing winter that arrived to the south shores of Finland.

I love everything about these shoes. They are from andiamo and I got them for 70€. There is lamp fur inside and they are super warm and comfy.

I just found a problem with this warmth. They fit my face but all my clothes have a cold temperature shade so this have real hard time fitting my clothes. People may think I am the least fashionable person to fit these with pink and blue gray shades but I don't care. They are warm and I still can find a way to make them fit! 

What you think of them?

+Turku Called Me+

Last weekend Nori and I headed our ways to Sannys housewarming party in Turku. Turku is a city in west Finland and an old Capital of Finland. I haven't visited there often in my life, but mostly the times I did the trip wasn't too good. There's a saying that "Turku is the anus of Finland" said by an old Asian man, there is such as a video on Youtube of this scene.

Anyhow this time I was traveling there with a bit better expectations. Turku is really beautiful city and the old side of it is like from an old movie about more simple times. Cafes are nice and they have one great school of arts that I'd love to try out one day in my life. Our trip began from Turku Railwaystation to Sannys place. As we arrived sharing cups of tea before heading to the center of the city to Art Cafe for some traditional snacks of the city.

Here's something VERY casual that I wear when I am not prepared for photoshoots. Lenses and super eyelashes are such tiring burden once been on the road for whole day so I prefer this look when I hang out with friends.

I had a very special plan for this trip that I had been planing since December. As you may know I got a polaroid camera from my grandmother this Christmas and had had a very lame start with testing this one out. So I took it along with me to Turku to take one whole film of pictures of the trips treasure moments! (The review is ready I just have to write it!)

Here's the first one we took! So cute ain't it? I got this film from my mom.

 Nori and Ruscky!

Aura River and the minster.

We moved along by the river to the center where we ran into one of my blogs followers that appeared to be a big fan of mine! (If you read this gal, thank you, you were super sweet with your "accidental" right place right time ;D ) She is friend of Sannys and was aware of where we were heading. I don't care was it rather an accident to walk by the art cafe of not. It was still real nice!

 Salmon islander bread, hot chocolate and carrot cake!

This group photo so failed :'D

Fe had a reservation to a restaurant that's name I can't recall, at 6.pm so we had plenty of time to shop before dinner. I had been all day on an on about should I get a ipad or not. Well finally after lunch it had been decided and I headed my way to store.

Took a lot guts to not open the pack in the city. Had to wait till we reached Sanny's place.

This is all I bought. New fluffy socks, crown, emergency case, pen and a few new nail polishes.

I'm starting to like orange color in nails and lips. I've also started to use it as eye shadow effect. It really brings out my blue eyes better!

 Here's what I did with them. Not a professional look but hey at least I tried!

The restaurant that Sanny had picked for us was a Mediterranean restaurant. We got Bread for starters. It belonged with the meal. I was taking photos so I kinda missed and got only one piece :<.

 Polaroid version.

The place was really nice and cozy. The service took a long time tough. I've never spent 2 hours in a restaurant before.

To our plates, please! Sanny and I had Salads since nothing on the menu was really for my liking. I'm always aware if the dishes would include paprika. Salad was a safe choose, tough the plate was HUGE. I mean HUGE. I finished 1/4 of the plate with feeling I'd explode. It was crazy and yet I felt awful to have to let go all of that food. I felt like I failed. Sanny said she couldn't finish it either, but she almost did...traitor.

 Well lucky strike for the service taking so long time I got a little space in my stomach for this lovely dessert. Lemon sorbet with berries. SO GOOD.

 This is what Sunny and Ruscky were having.

 My camera ran out of batteries so the rest of the trip is in Polaroids!

This picture looks like a mom's back home from labor. My god!

Next day we had photoshoots for my book with Nori in the center and played all wii and playstation games in the night.

I sang super epic own version in Disney singstar of this song:

Too bad I can't post it here, the quality is really poor and I don't think the other girls who were in it would appreciate to be shown here. Well maybe I sing it alone again sometime, cause I can really get my tone this high!

So here was our trip to Turku! During Summer I am so gonna go again with a big punch of clothes to photoshoot!
