of the finnish language....

I know, I know....its been a while since i blogged. So what has been up? well....it snowed last week, was in helsinki, had a great great great time!!! But all my fun was taken away when i got sick. I've had buckets of blood taken from me....ok, not buckets but viles of blood... that whole blood taking process is too much for my young innocent self I tell you. So anyway, im on meds now....with any luck, i shall be feeling better in some days....keep your fingers crossed please? So I live in Finland. I dont speak a word of Finnish...well, I can say hello and thank you. It doesnt work out too badly because, everything in school is in english....well for my course at least and out of school, i kinda just make my way. When i go to an office or to the hospital where i've been countless times these past days, i just make it known from the beginning...."Hello, I don't speak Finnish"...from there, they say its ok, because they speak english, or they go and get someone who speaks english. I've learnt it eliminates all the hanky panky. I know I really should put more effort into learning a bit of the language, but somewhere in the back of my mind, I keep thinking..."but i'm only here for a few years....after all, too many languages in my head cannot be a good thing...i'll get all muddled up...english, swahili, kikuyu, italian, french"....some of those languages i have mentioned should however be put in serious quotes...seeing that I am not too fluent in them....So thus my predicament! Go add a whole other weird language on top of that?...Finnish really is a weird language...it has no connection to the neighbouring countries' languages. It only has some ties with hungarian I think....Its just such an out there language....dont know who came up with it and why. It sounds like a mix between kikuyu and indian....well thats to me anyway. So it might be interesting to learn, but frankly, I'm not too interested in it. But I will try change....promise! However, that said!!! Just because i speak fluent english does not automatically make me american or British...but that is what people tend to think and assume when i open my mouth to speak. Totally off the point here, some dude I met in a club the other day said i looked punjabi....dude! not even indian, but punjabi....have to look up all the good things about them. So now on to my rant of the day!!!! I am in a Finnish school in an english course!!! Why then does everything having to do with the school as a whole leave no room for us english speakers? Student council sends us stuff in Finnish, the school nurse sends us stuff in Finnish!! Geez!!! I volunteer to keep the english speakers up to tabs with what's going on. But it seems like I keep fighting an invisible hand as all the other english students seem so lax, laid back and fine with things as they are. I want to participate, be part of things, do something!!!!! Thats my rant and my next mission!!!

Ain't nobody ever prove their love when
Things were all good
And two people are smiling
Love is found way down in the trenches
When he's throwin a fit
And she is sittin there crying
We tear it up
To patch it up
Break up
To make up
The show goes round and round
And that how we get down
We go back and forth
And anyone who goes through this should know
That what i am saying is for real
Real love is meant this way
We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin
She's trippin
and we both be trippin and
That's the way love works out sometimes
Cause when it's on it's on
and your no longer stressin'
and life teaches a lesson
that love is still a blessin
Cause when it's all said and done
were back at square one
and that's the way love works out sometimes
What you know about screamin' yellin' cuzin' pushin' ruling and arguing
Like it's 12 rounds up inside the garden
I say where the hell you going
And you say I'm getting up out of here
and I say you ain't going no where
then I follow you down the stairs,
get in front of you and then I scream
Sounds like I'm fussing
Though you're still the one
And the truth is this is really love
And ooooh yeah
When I feel like going off
I know this show is up
and you know...
We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin
She's trippin
and we both be trippin and
That's the way love works out sometimes
Cause when it's on it's on
and your no longer stressin'
and life teaches a lesson
that love is still a blessin
Cause when it's all said and done
were back at square one
and that's the way love works out sometimes
You wont believe it until you see it
How much you need somebody
(need somebody)
And you'll never know how far you'll go
When you love somebody
(love somebody)
ooohooh
Sometime we say the craziest things!
We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin
She's trippin
and we both be trippin and
That's the way love works out sometimes
Cause when it's on it's on
and your no longer stressin'
and life teaches a lesson
that love is still a blessin
Cause when it's all said and done
were back at square one
and that's the way love works out sometimes

trippin' by toni braxton...

Nicky boo sent me this song...I hadn't really listened to the lyrics before. I did today. It's so relevant to what I'm feeling right now...i guess nothing is flawless and you have to go through the hard times to appreciate the good ones...

I found this really great link that has amazing kenyan pictures....check it out.

Ok, could someone please explain to me why our dear president needs a house worth one hundred million shillings?....I am baffled. Maybe its just me who doesnt understand why!...Can anyone explain?

little things

its the little things...

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites

When the bee stings

When I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don't feel so bad

This has got to be one of my all time favorite songs.... its like my personal anthem. I love the little things that make you smile. Like finding out who a blogger is and everything falls into place!! Its a great feeling...that blogger that I know who you are...I AM SOOO SOOO WOW'D THAT ITS YOU!!!!
