:D It's been a while again folks~

anygays, maybe I should continue with the meme task I have so that no-one will throw bricks at me |D

My reason for not updating: I've been lazy, I've been busy and I've had better things to do 8D (not really, but...) I've also had school so that is a very good reason for nothing updating.

First a few random pictures

まず, me and Yumi <3>Stephen: Score the beat at 7.9, keep your head in the game. The Japanese judge is very tough.
Bloom: This is a banana seat, man.
[Stephen and Bang Bang stare at him]
Bloom: Don't give me that blank look. You know what a goddamn banana seat is.

That one being from The Brothers Bloom, gods how I love that movie!

Narrator: You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

And this one being from Fight Club. If you have never seen it, WATCH IT! it's pure genius work!

Day 13 → A fictional book: Watership down. Watership Down is a heroic fantasy novel about a small group of rabbits, written by English author Richard Adams. Although the animals in the story live in their natural environment, they are anthropomorphised, possessing their own culture, language (Lapine), proverbs, poetry, and mythology. Evoking epic themes, the novel recounts the rabbits' odyssey as they escape the destruction of their warren to seek a place in which to establish a new home, encountering perils and temptations along the way.

Day 14 → A non-fictional book: Haruki Murakami - Kafka on the Shore.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafka_on_the_Shore

Day 15 → A fanfic: I don't do fanfics anymore, but I have to say the best fanfic/s I've ever read have been written by my very best friend. I liked all kinds of fanfics, not only the erotic ones, and I have to say people have quite and imagination. Some plots are incredible and totally beat many good novels written by professionals.

I'll do day 11 some other time :)

What is it with unhealthy stuff these days :/

I bought a small bag of Nacho Cheese balls and two Geisha chocolate bars and after eating them felt really sick and my tummy was hurting... For crying out loud! Can't I eat anything unhealthy anymore?? :|

I eat reeally healthy and really fresh food everyday and drink only water, milk or fresh juices and everytime I even try to drink some kind of juice with added sugar in it or something, I start feeling bad. Whyyyyy D:
It's not like I would mind eating only healthy stuff but sometimes you get this _need_. This special kind of need of something really fatful and sweet and icky and when you have it and think you are going to be satisfied with a blast of endorfins, you only start feeling sick.
What is wrong with my tummy.. I know, it has never taken chips or stuff and actually I'm allergic to chocolate (milk allergy) but I used to be able to eat at least one whole bar of chocolate and half bag of chips when I was younger! D: Now I can't eat even 5 pieces of chocolate without feeling bad. And chocolate just sometimes does the trick when you haven't had sex in a while... >_> hey, it's true :c I'm not a sex addict but I need it sometimes, not only for the feeling but also because I want to feel someone close to me.
Right now it's impossible because I don't have anyone and I don't really do one-night stands..

:D Just don't read if you think it gets too personal! Had to get this off of my chest :)

Heeey it's been a while!

But I've been busy moving and getting accustomed to this new life in Orimattila :D
So far, the school is awesome '_' We have two huge studio rooms T1 and T2 and 6 monitoring rooms! 6!? *__*
I was like "wooow" when I saw all the equipment since, of course, it's high-tech and I was drooling all over the awesome Mac-computers :D
Our teachers are awesome! They are typical music people; relaxed with a very good sense of humour :DD They all work in the music business so they can't always be there so when they aren't there, someone else teaches us. The thing just is that in this area of education all the people who teach the newbies are the best people on this area. Like, the very very top. Because when these teachers were studying music technology, they had to do it all by themselves almost. Because music technology hasn't been so long in colleges as an option. So these teachers know what they're doing! And you can really see it :)

I'm all hyped up already even though we haven't had any studio things yet and will not have until we learn to use ProTools (the main studio program) but the teachers make it so interesting and they know so much you can ask anything from them!

This really is the place for me <3 I feel like home in here. And the rest of the class are just wonderful people! They are all so sweet in their own way :) And since we have the same ambition and same dream, music, we all are on the same level. I'm actually waiting to get to know them better! And that is rare since usually I tend to not be too social and just keep to myself. But these people, oh my :) they really make my heart smile. I'm actually waiting for every new day and getting up early 8D I am MOTIVATED!!! probably first time in my life, when it's about school |D

Now I shall go to bed, I'm dead tired since our days are long. Today we got out only at 16:30. We don't start that early, around 9:15, but that is a long day.

Good night!

Day 10 A photo of you taken over 10 years ago

This one was taken when I was 7.

This was taken when I was 9 but turning 10 8D Like, two days before.
I still ask from myself, why the hell did I have to cut my hair short when I turned 15? What the hell was the point in that... I miss that long and strong hair ._. It's still strong but I want it as long as it was then T_T Without the waiting -_- I still have to wait 3 years, maybe only two if I'm lucky.

Not assed to move. Not assed to pack. Just not assed :c I just want to... idk do nothing. I wish I didn't have to move away from here but... then again I want and need it. Too many painful things here. And I'll start a whole new life when I get to Orimattila! I'll even get a new phone! it's Samsung touch-screen '_' Only 98 euros ffs! And Samsung <3 What could be better than supporting Korean brand |D

#013

Day 08 A photo that makes you angry/sad:

First of all, why in the hell? second of all, what's so fun about this? I mean, the fact that they are sticking some fucking sticks into a bull and then waiting it to die, bleeding to death in horrendous pain and making it all crazy and stuff and then people go and watch it?! All the fucking sick things people do to animals just makes me want to do the same to people! Some might say that "it's not the same thing if you would do it to a human than an animal" but fuck that shit! for me it is the same >:O I don't lift animals to same level as people but torturing animals is the same as torturing any other living being period. No further discussion arrrrrrr.

Day 09 A photo you took:
<3 This cat is the cutest! His name is Columbus "Kokki" :3 And he purrs like 24/7 seriously :D He is a very happy and a bit chubby cat. Old, but happy <3

I'm starting to panic a bit '_' Sunday is getting nearer and nearer all the time and I haven't even packed anything T_T It's just that I don't have any kind of like interest to start packing. Why can't the things just jump into boxes themselves... This is not my first time moving, but packing just never inspires me |D
I guess I'll just study Korean and drink tea.

#012

Hot issue!

I'm doing this for you, Mayu! You requested, I do :D
So, pictures that tell something about me, here we go~

I was born in September and I took this picture last year on my birthday.

:D Do I need to tell more, I like joking around. Relaxed is the style ;D

Day 07 A photo that makes you happy:


Yumi, whom I respect and who is one of the most amazing and heartwarming people I've ever met in this life. That smile is something now... that smile and the lauhgter. And of course the moomin :DD Muumipeikko! Moominworld is awesome a place even though it had gotten smaller |D or it felt smaller, because the last time I had been there was when I was 10. Gods I miss her... Well, I'll see her in Nagoya next year!!



The second photo is of Yumi too. But I really love the contrast of this photo and I can feel how she feels when I look at this. When the land of the rising sun meets the country of the midnight sun <3

Oh, and people, forget about language barriers. Things like that don't really exist, they're just something we've created. After all, there are so many things, events, feelings, emotions, in our lives that words just possibly can't describe :)

Anteeks nyt kun laitan tän suomeks, mut kertooko se jotain Japanilaisesta työmentaliteetista, jos 1 kuukauden poissa ollut työntekijä saa palattuaan takaisin kotimaahansa kaksi päivää aikaa tehdä seuraava deadline? What the fuck :D tää tyttö on mun kaveri, oli justiinsa Suomessa käymässä sen kuukauden ja nyt hänellä on deadline kahen päivän päästä? Miten olis lepo ja ylitsepääseminen jetlagista, y/y? Ja siihen arkeen PALAUTUMINEN? mut eihän ne tunne semmosta sanaa :|
Tää kaveri on musiikkiteknologi ja muusikko ja on muuten se sama tyttö jonka kanssa tehdään musiikkia ja DJ hommia. Haluanko mä oikeesti tehdä töitä Japanissa?

Japani on tosi kaksinen maa, niinku on abaut kaikki maat varmaan, mut paha sanoa kun en ole kaikissa maissa ollut :D mun suhde Japania kohtaa on aika viha/rakkaus-suhde. Olin siellä puoli vuotta vaihtarina ja voin sanoo et huhhuh :DD Olihan siellä kivaa mutta... Njoo. En todellakaan halua asua siellä vuotta tai kolmea pidempää jos sinne päin ikinä eksyn asumaan. Ensinnäkin en ymmärrä missään helvetissä et mikä kakka niitten koulusysteemiä vaivaa!? Ja miks helvetissä hallitus EI voi muuttaa sitä mihinkään suuntaan. Koska se ei vaan yksinkertasesti toimi. Enhän mä niitten politiikasta mittään paljoo tiedä mut politiikka on just se asia minkä kautta, valitettavasti, ihmiset pystyy johonkin vaikuttamaan ja tuntuu vähän siltä että nuoria ei tässä maailmassa enää kauheesti kiinnosta politiikka. Politiikka, se mitä me nähdään pyöritettävän, on korruptoitunut aika pahasti ja ei ole mikään ihme jos ei mihinkään pysty vaikuttamaan ilman rahaa tai vaikutusvaltaa. Kapitalismi takaa tämän 2000-luvun materiamöykyt, viihteen ja muun. Kapitalismi ei anna tilaa toisinajattelijoille tai sivistykselle, koska kaiken löytää netistä. Eihän sinänsä mikään aate ole ikinä toiminut, koska on ollut aina joku ihminen tai ihmisjoukko joka on onnistunut tuhoamaan sen aatteen hyvät puolet; niin kävi kommunismille ja sosialismillekin.

Noniin :D ei pitänyt tästä kyllä kirjottaa mutta avauduinpas vähän... Niin, vielä tästä Japanista, ihmiset ja kieli on asia jonka takia voisin aina mennä takaisin. Sydämellisimmät ihmiset joihin oon ikinä tutustunu on ollut Japanissa.

And now, I'll write what I was supposed to write
Day 6 Whatever tickles your fancy: What tickles my fancy... You want to know what kind of music do I compose? Well, I used to compose classical music, more or less, but lately I've found a new interest: Electro music. I've always liked The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers but now I've also grown to like poppish electro music like Coltemonika. So yeah, I try to do something alike :) Also Big Bang has grately insipired me to compose hip hop rhythms and simple melodies. A band I'd like you guys to take a look at; Noisia. They have kickass music!

#007

Since I haven't been home, I haven't updated here.
Lame, isn't it D:


Day 04 Your favourite book: would be... Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore <3>:O

Day 05 Your favourite quote: I've always loved this quote by C.S. Lewis. Today, I found it, again:

It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would strongly be tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. (The Weight of Glory, 14-15)

Yet again, this quote is not my all time favourite quote because I don't have anything I would favour above others. Now, for the record, have a picture of me 8D If you wonder why does my hair have like, at least three different shades of brown it's because the topmost is my real colour, the second is... some random thing and the bottom is darkbrown. I don't want to colour my hair anymore so I'm letting the colour grow away. It's a slooow and paainful process, I know, but I'm so sick of colouring it so if I'll colour it, I'll colour it the colour nearest to my natural one. So many times "colour" in that one sentence |D

#006

Yo!

Today has been rather boring. I have zero inspiration and there are at least 3 songs that I should be working on '_' I want Winter here now! I tend to loose my inspiration when Spring comes.. I don't know why. During Summer I'm an ameba who just gets driven by the masses |D

Some "wise" people say that pain is what makes an artist, so according to that my inspiration comes from the very right place. Everything painful in my life has something to do with snow or Winter. One of the reasons why I became to hate Christmas Eve.. I used to love that day. The atmosphere it would create all around, the joy. Hm, the joy was destroyed and it lost its meaning to me.
Ha, I got lost in my memories again!

Maybe I should just write what I was supposed to :)

Day 03 Your favourite television program? Well, I don't watch TV too much and there really are no special programs that I'd watch intesively... But, documents. And above all others, historical documents. Yeah, the history geek speaking |D The best document I've ever seen, and have it even on DVD, is the BBC Auschwitz - The Final Solution. If someone can make a better document, I'll hail to them!

And now, just because icanhazcheeseburger saves people from depression, have a picture 8D

#005

Here again! I didn't realize actually just how much random would the meme bring with it :D
But here we go with question number 2:

Day02 Your favourite movie? ... like there would be only one D: ffs I like too many movies...
Well Inception totally goes to my top 10 list! I went to watch it to the cinema and wow. Just wow. It was brilliant! I love action movies with a good plot. Action movies with only action are good when you want to leave your brain out.
Stanley Cubrick's Clockworkorange with it's twisted humour is brilliant too. Aaand Fight Club. Ahh the psychology :D Of course Miyazaki's movies are a case on their own <3>

#004

Okay. Now I'll start writing in English and this is the first random entry that has absolutely nothing to do with my studies :D

(Even though I know I should write this blog srsly in Finnish because my Finnish writing skills suck; I only got C from the finals which is like 7 and on a scale from 4 to 10)
Anyway, I snatched this meme idea from my friend's livejournal:

30 Day Meme - #1

Day 01 → Your favorite video game
Day 02 → Your favorite movie
Day 03 → Your favorite television program
Day 04 → Your favorite book
Day 05 → Your favorite quoteDay 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 07 → A photo that makes you happy
Day 08 → A photo that makes you angry/sad
Day 09 → A photo you took
Day 10 → A photo of you taken over ten years ago
Day 11 → A photo of you taken recently
Day 12 → Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 13 → A fictional bookDay 14 → A non-fictional book
Day 15 → A fanfic
Day 16 → A video game scene that makes you cry (or nearly.)
Day 17 → An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
Day 18 → Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 19 → A talent of yours
Day 20 → A hobby of yours
Day 21 → A recipeDay 22 → A website
Day 23 → A YouTube video
Day 24 → Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 25 → Your day, in great detail
Day 26 → Your week, in great detail
Day 27 → This month, in great detail
Day 28 → This year, in great detail
Day 29 → Hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days
Day 30 → Whatever tickles your fancy

So the basic idea; you write about one option per day and keep it up until the 30 days are gone.
And here goes for the first one:

#1 your favourite video game: is Final Fantasy XII, definitely. (I was going to say Pokemon, but Pokemon has never given me such orgasmic moments as FFXII gave) I adore Square Enix and the people who have made, and first of all come up with an idea fro FF games, are ppure genius period. The music, the plot, the characters and just the awesome!! Blows my mind :) And just a very typical biased, materialistic comment, FFXII has the most gorgeous man, Balthier. He reminds me of Jack Sparrow and being a huge fan of the man in question, there was no doubt I fell in love with Balthier :D
So there. I could've also taken Warcraft or Starcraft but... They're just not as awesome. Very hard to really compare these two/three games because they are so very different. I think I don't need to explain myself any further.

#003

Niiice. Nyt tätä blogia sit lukee ihmiset jotka ei ymmärrä suomea |D
Voihan gagga.

Hmm, mulla ei ole ainuttakaan suomenkielistä blogia... Mut, noh, ehkä on sit vaan pakko kirjottaa englanniksi! Ei ne pari jaappanilaista ymmärrä kyllä englantiakaan mutta... En enää suostu kirjottamaan toista blogia kokonaan japaniksi :D ja onhan ameblo aina olemassa että sinne vaan ihmiset lukemaan!! Paitsi että en hirveästi jaksa sitäkään päivittää orz

Lupaan alkaa päivittää tätä blogia siis englanniksi tämän entryn jälkeen, so you just wait patiently fellows!
Noniin, sain siis vihdoin ja viimein ulkoisen kovalevyni revittyä paketista pois ja onhan siinä vaikka minkämoisia toimintoja!! Ja tilaa on 250,000 mp3:lle........... Ehkä mä opin arvostamaan noita isoja lukuja kunhan olen päässyt edes sinne studiolle asti vääntelemään nappuloita :D
Kovalevyssä on FireWire 800 ja USB 2.0 eli toimii myös minun kannettavassani ja studiotilojen Mac-koneissa. Kyllähän siihen kaikkea muutakin mahtuuu kuin vain mp3 tiedostoja, tuo nyt oli esimerkki. Pro Tools ohjelman tiedostot on meinaan ihan helvetin raskaita ja isoja. Sen olen oppinut katsoessani veljeni tekemisiä; jos ei ole kunnon siirtokaapeleita niin tiedostojen siirtäminen on tajuttoman hidasta. Njoo.
Mitäs muuta mun piti kirjottaa.. Alko tää kieli muuten rapistua taas vähän epäkorrektimmalle tasolle. Päässä muuten pyörii liikaa ajatuksia tällä hetkellä! En ehkä taidakaan kirjotella enempiä..

Kirjoittaako englanniksi vaiko ei...

Jos nyt näin ensi alkuun suomeski ja sitten ehkä myöhemmin englanniksi!


Olen pitänyt täällä blogia aikaisemminkin MUTTA se oli hieman... ei-minunlaiseni ja päätin poistaa sen tehdäkseni tilalle uuden. Ilo-uutinen! Pääsin opiskelemaan musiikkiteknologiaa Orimattilaan ja tämä blogi on juuri kutakuinkin sitä varten tehty. Jotta tästä ei kuitenkaan tulisi aivan opiskelublogia, sisältö saattaa heittelehtiä myös randomeissa aiheissa :) niitä kun niin rakastan.
Tosiaan, en välttämättä koko ajan edes jaksa kirjoittaa näinkin korrektia kieltä, mutta yritetään pitää hyvistä tavoista kiinni.

Odotan ensi vuotta kuin kuuta nousevaa. Pääsen tutustumaan kuukaudeksi Nagoyassa sijaitsevaan studioon, jossa myös toivottavasti tulen tekemään työharjoitteluni. Teen siis onnistuneen ensivaikutelman, murran kaikki ennakkoluulot ja järisytän jo valmiiksi järisevää maanpintaa mainiolla musiikilla! On siis myös tarkoitus tehdä musiikkia kyseisessä studiossa työskentelevän ystävättäreni kanssa :) Eli ei siis pelkkää puurtamista vaan myös mahtavaa hauskanpitoa kuten pikkutuntien raspi-karaokea, paljon alkoholia (muusikot!) ja ties minkämoisia bändejä, konsertteja ja kaikkea muuta mukavata.

Siispä siispä ennakkoluulottomasti kohti tulevaa, mutta nyt taidan kiittää ja kuittaa ja mennä syömään jonkin näköistä ruokaa...
