Tomorrow´s day =)

So tomorrow I´m going to go by train to Stuttgart to meet Oliver Palotai. =) I´m really exited to see him again and to get piano lessons from him. :) It will be a very long but for sure a fantastic day!

Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton



On Saturday I went a second time to the cinema with my friends to watch Tim Burton´s "Alice in Wonderland". This movie is one of the most amazing movies I´ve ever seen so it was worth it also the second time. And this time we saw it in the 3D version which was even more amazing than to watch it "normal". The first time I saw it without 3D animation in the cinema, so it was definitely worth it!

One of the main characters is Alice of course. ;) Alice is played by the amazing actress Mia Wasikowska.



She plays it so fantastic! She is really perfect for this role because she can play the innocent and naive girl who gets lost in the real world and escape in another world... in Wonderland!

Another main character in this movie is of course Johnny Depp as the mad hatter.



He is one of the best actors on this planet and of course he gave his best also in this movie! He looks so crazy in this movie because of his style and make-up but it´s just amazing!

Another character was the Red Queen... she is played by Tim Burton´s wife Helena Bonham Carter who plays also in Harry Potter. ;)



They really had a good computer animation system because they made Helena´s head with the animation program much bigger than it´s in real. ;)
Helena plays the bad queen in this movie. As the red queen she has of course also a red palace, red soldiers, etc... She also had her own butlers whose were for example animals like pigs, birds, and so on. The Red Queen has a younger sister, who is the White Queen.

The White Queen is played by my favourite actress Anne Hathaway.



The White Queen is the "good" Queen and of course she has a white palace ;)
Her sister, The Red Queen, hates her because she is the beautiful queen with a normal head and she was always more loved by their parents. So they fight against eachother.

The main history is that the whole Wonderland has waited for Alice. They hope that Alice will help them because in the prediction she is the one who can fight against the Red Queen. And if Alice can kill this strange "animal" from the Red Queen, all soldiers and butlers of the Red Queen will leave her and will change to the good side. ;) This animal has a name but I don´t know it in English.

So I can only recommend this movie to everyone and I´m longing for the DVD release of it! =)

Alice in Wonderland



It´s such a wonderful movie! One of the best I´ve ever seen! I will write more about it tomorrow. =)

I´m Alive

I didn´t write a long time here but I had a lot to do with school, organising things, etc. I still have to write a lot of exams in the next two weeks and I still don´t have much time for meeting friends, going shopping, to the cinema, ... =(
In the next two weeks we will write the last tests before the final exams in June and I´m also longing for the next holidays which are in 5 weeks.
Today, we´ve written the last maths test before the exams and it feels so good! I hope it was the last maths test in my life! Next week we´ll write the last German test, then physics and chemistry and finally biology and English. Maybe (hopefully!) we will write also some little tests too because then I have the chance to make my grades even better as I did in the last time.
At this weekend I also have to learn a lot and also in the next holidays (the last ones before the final exams) I have to learn so very much, especially for French and maths, and beside that I´m going to make a practical training in a nursery school here in my town.
So...a lot of plans. :/ But luckily, I´ve finally planned my Finland holidays for this summer. Two weeks in Finland and a few days in Sweden before working as an aupair. =) How could it be better? =)

"Too Young"

At the moment I am listening almost non-stop to a song called "Too Young" from the German Popstars band "Queensberry".



I can really recommend their song "Too Young" to everyone! Especially when I am on the train, in the car or in the bus I am listening to this song. =) I don´t know exactly why but it´s such a good feeling when you´re listening to this song while going/driving to a place.

Here is the song:

Beginning of a new week...

I was so really tired yesterday ans I fall asleep very early. oO Today I´ve gotten my first "grade" of the final exams in English and I´ve got the best grade you can reach =) 29 points from 30 points. ;)
Tomorrow I have to write the last history test and I´m a bit afraid of it because I still have a lot to learn for it...
My problem is that I mostly learn the whole night, because it´s easier for me to learn then than during the day. oO
We´ve also written a chemistry test today and we didn´t expect that so most of us haven´t learn so much for it and I already know that I will get a bad grade back. Now I am one grade worse than before... :/ I will try to catch it up again but if not I can´t do anything more and then I have three "4" in my qualification.
(in maths, physics, chemistry)

The German grade system is like this:

grade 1 - perfect
grade 2 - good
grade 3 - okay
grade 4 - sufficient
grade 5 - bad
grade 6 - worst

I will have grade 1 in sport and social history for sure;
grade 2 in history, religion
grade 3 in biology
grade 4 in maths, physics and chemistry... :/
and I will try to get grade one in English and German but if not I will have grade two in both and I will also try to get grade 2 in French, but if not I will have grade 3.

Not the best qualification but I can´t do anything more... =(

How are your grades?

Kajaani =)

Today I´ve got nice photos from my friend who will move to Kajaani again soon, and she was on visit there these last days and took some photos for me. =)



Yippiie, I am so happy to move to Kajaani soon and to go away from here finally. =)

Piparkakku

Today I prepared the dough for baking tomorrow because it has to rest one night in the fridge.
I searched for the recipe of Piparkakku but there are so many in the internet, in different languages and also the ingredients which you need for baking the biscuits are different from one to another recipe. I think everyone who wants to bake Piparkakku, should search recipes for it in the internet and try them out. ;)



I will post some photos tomorrow, now I will watch "German Idols" and I´m so exited who has to leave the serie tonight. oO Actually I´m a bit afraid of it because in my opinion one of the three candidates doesn´t deserve it to come in the final of the show!

Strange day...

It´s again so late now... oO I have to say it´s hard to describe this day in words...
I woke up really early this morning because I couldn´t sleep anymore. Yesterday was a very bad day and I didn´t know how to handle with the situation in which I was and how to handle with all my feelings inside. I´ve got to know very sad things and I didn´t expect things like these as I searched for reasons for another thing... I am so very sorry for this person that so bad things happened to him and I still even don´t know how I shall handle with this feelings in me but I will do my best to go on as before, as I promised this person. ;) I really admire him for this strength he has in this situation now, and had it all the time before because I think I couldn´t stand it. I think these words a very suitable for this thing...

"When done with me
Forget if you think I feel ashamed
A wild thing
Never felt sorry for anything
"
- (Nightwish, Bare Grace Misery)

The only positive message -very positive- I´ve got today via email from a teacher of mine. ;) She was so nice to answer to my email I´ve sent her in the beginning of our holidays, also if she answered a little late, but she was in holidays until yesterday. =) She is such a nice teacher and deserve it to have free-time and vacations with her family! ;) But no matter for the "later" answer, I am so happy about this positive message and I am also very glad of her lovely words! =) I can only say: Finland, I will come! :P

I heard that Anette was called by her bank because they had blocked her visa card, since another person tried to buy things in different stores with her card. oO And it was not her, because they said it was someone from the US. No one knows who was it and Anette thinks, she will never got to know it.
So, I think we all should be very careful with our cards, especially doing internet shopping, because our cards can be used by others too. :/

Then I was out tonight and met some friends and all was really strange. Don´t know why. :/ At first, there were too many people in this club and second, there were also a camera team, which filmed for a German TV program. Since it wasn´t much fun, we went back home very early. :/


Hyvää yötä ja nuku hyvin!

Lyrics ;)

Hyvää huomenta! :D

I´m still awake and won´t sleep anymore this night ;) I have again so many thoughts in my head and I listened to many songs during the last days and when I listened to the lyrics of these songs I realized that some of these songs describe my thoughts and feelings really well at the moment ;)
In these lyrics are so much feelings and you should interpret them in your way, in my opinion, ;)

"I thought we had the time of our lives. One word from her and you´re back in her arms."- Marit Larsen (Is it love?)

"I would prove my love for you. I could swallow half the moon. Just tell me where, tell me when. I will have you back again."-Marit Larsen (If a song could get me you)

"Did you love her, the way you love me?"-Marit Larsen (Under the Surface)

"I´ve heard your love songs and I say just wait and see. When I hear your love songs, your bittersweet old ones, I keep thinking if he would just come with me."-Marit Larsen (I´ve heard your love songs)

"No more lost endeavours, nothing to contend, when I´m free."-Epica (Unleashed)

"I´m dreaming in colours of getting the chance, dreaming of trying the perfect romance."-Within Temptation (Utopia)

"Love is a bird, she needs to fly, let all the hurt inside of you die."-Madonna (Frozen)

I also read some older lyrics of Nightwish and I´ve found the lyrics of "Nymphomaniac Fantasia" and I was a bit shocked :D I don´t know how to interpret this lyrics...hmm...what do you think? :D
This song is from their album "Angels Fall First".



The scent of a woman was not mine...

Welcome home darling
Did you miss me?
Wish to dwell in dear love?

Touch my milklike skin
Feel the ocean
Lick my deepest
Hear the starry choir

Rip off this lace
That keeps me imprisoned
But beware the enchantment
For my eroticism is your oblivion

Old love lies deep you said
Deeper shall be the wound between your legs

Piano & Keyboard lessons

I thought it would be cool, to learn how to play the piano or the keyboard, since I don´t play any instrument at the moment. :/ When I was 6 years old I played the flute, but unfortunately not more. :/ *Shame*
And in my opinion, the piano and keyboard are one of the most important instruments, so I will try to learn playing it. ;) And I am so very glad to get one of the best piano/keyboard players as a teacher...
He studied music-theorie in Nuremberg (20 minutes from my town only), is the keyboard player of the band Kamelot and Doro, and in the last time he replaced Coen from Epica on their USA and Canada Tour as a keyboard player. ;)
It´s Oliver Palotai of course =)

I´ve got an email from him because of the lessons and now we have to see when he will be in Stuttgart again. Oliver gives music lessons in Baden-Wurttemberg and also in North Rhine Westphalia.
Stuttgart would be the nearest town where Oliver is teaching, so I will take there a few music lessons.
It takes about 2 hours to go by train to Stuttgart from my town, so it´s not really far. ;) And Oliver and me thought that I should take a few lessons instead of only one lesson and maybe I should stay a few weekends there and not only one day of a weekend. ;)

I´m really looking forward to learn how to play the piano and keyboard (at least the most important things) and be teaching from Oliver. =)
I saw Oliver also one time live with his new band "Sons of Seasons" and they were great!!! =) So, I can recommend this band to everyone! ;)

Holidays, friends & presents =)

It´s maybe the longest blog, I have ever written. oO
Today was such a boring day :/ I didn´t sleep the last whole night because I became ill and had headache and a bit fever...and pain everywhere :/



The slept almost then the whole day ánd watched TV, etc. Then a friend of mine visited me and now I hope that I can sleep this night and that I will feel better tomorrow.
Tomorrow I want to go to the city to go shopping a bit, because I need some accessoires. ;) I will also buy some CD´s and I need a little present for my best friend Smoony. ;) I only want to give her a little "thank you-present" because she was always there in the last time and we had much fun together!
She gave me also a very very nice present in the past which is very useful for me!
It´s a book which is written by a woman who moved to Finland and she describes all the bad and good things about it, so it´s very interesting for me to read it! ;)
And I also got a little bunny from Smoony ;)

She is always a very cute person and she already begins months before christmas for example or some other "festive day" what she could give you as a present. ;)She became a really good friend of mine in the last time and if she wouldn´t move to Finland also I would really have a problem :P

I also need a little present for another special person but I don´t have any idea what present I could give him. He gave me so many presents already and made so many surprises and now it´s my turn...One of the presents he gave me was a clock, which can change the colour if you turn the light on and a lovely candle, he has bought in London, when he was there. The candle shows all the sights and interesting buildings of London =) Here is it:
Actually, I have four good or maybe even best friends which I want to thank. I´ve already sent a present to the one friend in Finland and I think she was really happy about it, at least she said it to me :P The other friend, Joy, I´ve met in the near of Cologne in this holidays, for her I´ve bought a present when we were shopping. =) She also had a little present for me. ; It´s "Easter-Chocolate" and she also gave me this little guardian angel =) She is such a sweet person ;)Sadly, we can´t see eachother very often since she has to work almost the whole day in Cologne. She is in my age and already a little "actress";)
Here is her present she gave me:



So tomorrow is shopping-time...it will be a loooong day. :/ One of the things I want to buy tomorrow is Within Temptation´s album "An acoustic night at the theatre"



I listened to some songs on their myspace page and I really love it! I would be so glad if they would perform some shows in Germany of their "Theatre Tour" but they only play in the Netherlands. =( But maybe I will make a little trip to Holland this week and will visit the show in Haarlem or Groningen. I also want to see Stephen a last time playing with Within Temptation since he will leave the band after this tour.

He has found another job and he also want to record albums and play shows with his other band "My favourite star".
He also wants to spend more time with his wife Veroniek and with their children and through this new job he can do that. I wish him all the best ;)

Exept all this nice plans I have for this holidays, I also have to learn a lot still... :/ I´ve bought so many things for learning and "final exams training" and now I have to use it also!

The most books are for French...to learn more vocabulary, to learn and practise the grammar, to translate, to speak, and so on...the other things are for physics, chemistry and maths. :/

Finland =)

In October I will finally move to Finland and I´m so happy about that! I will live until the end of June 2011 in Kajaani, in the east of Finland. =)
Kajaani is a little village with 38.000 inhabitants.





The next bigger city in the near of Kajaani is Oulu. =)



Unfortunately it takes 5 or more hours to go by train to Helsinki and since I have a few friends there it will be really "complicated" to meet them there. But there is also the possibility to use the airplane from Kajaani. ;) Sometimes it´s really expensive but you can also find some very cheap flights if you book it early enough. ;)

Another very positive thing is that my guest family want to buy a dog in this summer, before I will move to them, because their kids want to have a pet. Sadly, their daughter is allergic to cats, so I can´t take my cat with me. :/ But since she is allergic to cats, she is a bit upset, so I think it´s the best decision to buy a dog for them. =) And as I got to know, they want to buy a labrador. =)

The trip =)

This weekend was really really great!!! :D As I wrote, I visited a friend of mine, who I haven´t seen for a longer time. ;)
I arrived there on Friday at 1 o´clock and then we drove by car to her home and talked a bit, looked at some photos and then we drove by car to another place to meet another friend there. =) We made a little "sea tour" and drove to many seas which were in the near of this town. It was so beautiful!



After this long trip to different seas, we went to Mc Donald and ate a lot since we were so hungry! :D After eating, we drove back home and had a nice girls evening. ;) We watched some videos and DVD´s, and we talked a lot and a long time about everything :P In the late night, we went sleeping because we wanted to wake up early since we wanted to drive to the city. We woke up in the early morning at 8 o´clock, had a nice little breakfast and made us ready for the city, going shopping :D

We drove by car to the underground station and wanted to use the underground. But then they had a big technical problem with the underground/tube and we had to wait a long time until they continue to drive...but hey didn´t drive in direction city...because of this technical problem, we had to drive back to the last underground station and then we had to change the underground. After a few changings with underground, tram and train, we finally arrived in the city. :D
Since it was "Easter´s Saturday" there were a lot of people in the shopping centers and in the streets. oO

We also visited the "Michael Jackson memorial place" there and it was so fantastic what the fans made there for him! oO



We were also in two or three different shopping malls and also of course in other shops in the city.

In the "main-shopping-street" played some native american musicians and they were absolutely great!



We didn´t buy so many clothes, more some little accessoires and creative things ;)
I´ve bought a thing for which I don´t know the english word for it :P In German it´s called "Traumfänger". ;)(Maybe dreamcatcher? ;) Then I´ve bought Marit Larsen´s album "If a song could get me you" and I will listen to it later ;) And maybe the best thing/things are the bracelets I´ve got =) They were a kind of present for me ;)
I´ve also bought something creative which I will post later as a photo. :D
Here are some photos of the things, I´ve bought there. ;)

Happy Easter & My trip =)

I am still searching for a solution because of the Eindhoven show but at first I am looking forward to go by train to another city tomorrow ;)


(*picture borrowed from www.google.de)

I will visit a very good friend of mine tomorrow and I am so happy to see her again after a longer time ago. :D I am sure we will have much fun ;)
I will depart in the late morning and will arrive there in the late midday or early afternoon ;)
We have planned to go to her home at first and relax a little bit and after a while we will go out to meet another friend, so it´s going to be very funny. ;)
I will have a sleep-over there and on Saturday we want to go to the city center to go shopping a bit ;) But I think there will be a lot of people, since it´s "Easter´s Saturday", but anyway...we need to go shopping :P

I wish you a very happy Easter and a nice and relaxing weekend ;)

Floor´s "try-out"-show and problems =(

Hei, I just got an e-mail from Floor and I became so happy as I read that she invites me to her "try-out"-show with ReVamp in Eindhoven. But as I got to know now that this concert is on a wednesday (school!) and it takes about 6 hours from here to go by train to Eindhoven and it costs 126 Euros to go there and 126 Euros to go back I got really shocked. =(
I don´t know what to do, I would really like to go to Eindhoven by train and to see Floor performing with ReVamp. I will search for a solution...and I hope I will find a good one. oO
