Forward

I just watched the film named The Painted Veil. The movie tells about a woman whose name is Kitty. Kitty gets married with man named Walter Fane even though she just met him. Their marriage isn't the happiest kind but they still carry on. Kitty and Walter move to Shanghai from London and soon after moving to Shanghai they move to small village deep in China. In this village Walter, as a doctor, tries to take control of the cholera epidemic. Kitty and Walter aren't really happy and Kitty is doing her best to make the marriage work. Walter has lost his confidence in Kitty because she cheated on Walter with man named Charlie. Even though Kitty was madly in love with Charlie he just ignored her when she said that she wanted to divorce Walter and marry Charlie. Tough luck, or maybe not. During their time in the village Kitty and Walter fall in love, for real this time. And then Kitty finds out that she is pregnant, both of them are really happy about it. When Kitty told Walter about her pregnancy Kitty seemed little upset and worried, there wasn't any clear explanation for it but I believe it had something to do with the father of the child. Soon the neighbor village ditch their village and attack the village for no reason at all. Okay there was a reason but they were infected by the cholera. Walter keeps the outside villager in a refugee camp just outside the village. Trying save the refugees Walter get infected, and next morning he dies in his lovely wife's caring care.

The movie ends with the great scene where we see the child of Kitty and Walter who has turned five. We also hear that Kitty has named their child Walter, how ironic. We also see how Kitty shows Charlie that she doesn't give damn about him anymore and Charlie still thinks that he has a chance. No way, playboy.

I didn't tell you about this movie just because it had a great ending but because it had a message within. When someone is bullying and teasing you don't notice them. Just let them say what they want and carry on because how can they tell things about you. They don't know you. How could they know you?! They don't bother knowing you they just tease you all day and then they notice:
"Damn. S/He didn't even see me." They will notice that you can see right through them and they will stop. Remember the thing is not to say anything or do anything just let them be. I know it is hard but you can do it. I.... We believe in you. 

Lost

When I heard you were dead

I couldn't even cry

too darn shocked

Guess I didn't expect 

someone as strong as

you

to just 

leave

like that

Now, if only

I'd had some strength myself

Bit of courage too

then maybe

just maybe

I could have shared some with you.

You know

Sometimes I see you in the street

Or think I see you

They often look like you

You should see them

See all your faces everywhere

Your strong back

And in your funeral

Our mother

Must have taken some mass of willpower

to even walk up there and tell them

about the man you were

Your father 

Said he couldn't stand being at the funeral,

but showed up anyway

Looked older than our grandfather that day

 And your little bro, my big bro, he did well

Carrying you down the aisle

Even thought he couldn't see a thing

If a man could drown in tears...

Made our mother sob

A mother crying for her passed son, 

that's not anything anyone should ever have to hear

I don't get it

I don't get it at all

How your skinny little brother didn't buckle

halfway down that aisle

Never seen anyone age quite that fast

Wonder how it must have felt

Don't think I have ever seen it rain so much

Don't worry, though

I will tell him

We all will tell him

Tell your lil' bro not to sink quite as deep

into the ground as you just yet

We will take care of him

We will try

It's up to him

Though

If it were to happen that the lil' boy 

would think of the same way out you did

THIS TIME

we will get there in time

So if it is not too much to ask, please

Please rest 

in peace

We have got you covered

We will tell your bro for you

If he has got time for thoughts like yours,

he might as well do everything he dreamed of first

got nothing to lose

And when he tries all those things,

like you didn't,

he's gonna realize that life

isn't really

all that

bad.

One way or the other

it really is

going to be okay.

We miss you bro, I miss you.

This is to all to those people who have lost their loved ones when they have chosen the blue sky. I know that there isn't one single person who has been forgotten. I am sure that we miss them and remember them in our hearts. Remember it is okay to cry but don't fall into the deep grief, because it is really long way back up. Maybe we will see them one day, but not yet, not just yet. They are not alone but neither are we.

London part2?

Hi guys! Sorry again for the long time not writing to you guys. Let's get started!

The Piccadilly statue?

So on our second day in London we went shopping in Piccadilly area! Great fun! If you want to do some shopping, in Piccadilly finding shops won't be a problem even if you are blind. After running from shop to shop we were super hungry and decided to hit a tea house(?) I am not really sure if it can be called that but anyway... so we enjoyed our tea and headed to the next location.

Excuse my awful handwriting

Baker Street!!!! I, as a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, insisted that we would visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum. I wasn't disappointed at all. First when we arrived to the location we thought HELL NO!! Because of this

After talking about it we decided to stay in the line and wait. I don't know how many times I thought I would die really soon. Why? Because it was really hot and there wasn't much shadow where the line was. Clever me, I had thought in the morning that it would rain today so I had brought an umbrella with me. Actually it was really clever and I ended up carrying this lucky umbrella wherever we went no matter the weather. While we stood in the line I noticed the man and his son right before us and I remembered that these guys were the people who sat opposite of us in the tube on our way there. And the father soon noticed that as well and we ended up cracking up a conversation. We talked about how we both got lost on our way.

I will tell you this so that you don't have to walk around all over London to notice where you are. When you come out of the tube find out which exit are you taking. Because we didn't think about this we got lost. Well we found out that we weren't that lost afterward but I think we were lost enough. So we should have got out from west exit but we got out from south exit and well we all know what happens when you think you are somewhere you are not and you try to navigate from there. Not good! So think about where you exit, okay?

So when we got closer to the door this woman came over and asked people if they already had bought a tickets and we surely hadn't. Well I volunteered as a tribute to buy the tickets(if you know what I mean) actually I really wanted to get away from the hot sun. So I followed the instructions and found my way to the counter. But on my way to the counter I finally understood how different world was then. This shop, where you have to buy the tickets, was really nicely decorated with Sherlock Holmes- spirited stuff. I was in heaven. I couldn't wait to get to the museum.

If you have read them you know

Smoke and be happy

After waiting we finally got in. It was gorgeous. I really don't have words to describe the feeling. It just was awesome, beautiful and glorious at the same time.

After the museum we went to Madame Tussauds, that might sound weird, which is a wax museum. In Madame Tussauds you can take pictures with celebrities. Just kidding! But it really looks like them. The are these wax model that present celebrities. I sincerely recommend this place if you just find time while you are visiting London. The celebrities change once in a while so that means that the celebrities I saw might not be there when you go. Don't blame me, please.

Thank you for making it fun!

I just had to.

In Madame Tussauds there was this great 4D film- thingy. I don't really know what its called, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I don't want to ruin the surprise if you go so I won't tell anymore about that. But I can't say that my friend was really scared from time to time. I want to point out that Madame Tussauds if okay for children as well so mums and dads out there no worries, okay?

After Madame Tussauds we went for a walk in Regent's park or something like that. It was really close to Madame Tussauds. Actually the Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussauds and this park were all really close. Oh how could I forget something this important to all the Beatles fans. I didn't find the right place to put this so I will just put it right here. The Beatles shop is right next to the Sherlock Holmes museum. The Beatles shop is full of the Beatles stuff you can't get almost everything that has the Beatles boys on it from there. So you all the Beatles fans out there run for it. My Beatles fan friend was really tough opponent when I was trying to get her out of there. But with willpower everything is possible, right?

What can I say?

We enjoyed our laugh on the tube when getting back to the hotel and got some other people laughing as well because we were laughing. I think laughing is infectious. Watch out for it. During this long day many people came over and asked if we were Spanish. They said that we were loud enough and our language was like singing or that's what they said. I do agree that we are loud but like singing.... I don't think so. This day there were also many funny things that happened but I will spare them for the funny things in London- list. And I am sorry that the dates are on the pics but I think you can handle it.  See ya.

Thought of the day

A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Boys vs Girls!

Hi! I have faced a lot of girls vs boys lately and I have noticed some pretty interesting things that control our ways of living.

Firstly I have noticed that many girls have said to me that being a boy is a lot easier and maybe they are right. But(<that is a big fat but) it really isn't. Being a boy or a girl is the same thing but makes it different is how we act because of our gender. No one said that girls HAVE to put on make-up and think extremely carefully what they wear to school or to anywhere they are about to go.

Girls said things like:
-Boys can just jump out of bed and put t-shirt on and jeans and go to school. That's so damn easy.
-They mess around their hair a bit and it is perfect without afford.
-They don't have to take responsibility as soon as girls because they have puberty later.

Corrections to those claims:
-Yes, they can do that. But who says that girls can do that. I challenge you girls out there, that next time you wake up in the morning and you really don't want to make a afford, just don't. Go to school with the clothes that you firstly get out of your closet. But your hair up in messy bun and relax. Who is bored enough to say anything about that? No one!
-That is exactly what boys told me as well. "All you need to do it mess it up. Too damn easy." And I personally agree with them. You don't need to look like a model out of magazine cover, you just need to look like you. That if something is damn easy, isn't it?
-That might be true but there is a really dark side on this one. No one takes you seriously. You are tossed around like a damn brat even though you are old enough to take responsibility for many of your actions.

So all in all there is no huge difference in you. Yeah sure, you look different but so what. All that makes you is you and your actions. So next time you do something do the right thing, no matter how hard it was. Please make the afford to be you. See ya.

Life is...

spectacular.

Back from London

Hi guys! I apologize for not posting anything while I was in London but I had some technical problems with my computer so writing became impossible. I hope that you are happy enough that I will tell you all about it. I will tell you about my 12 day in complete order. As if I could keep track what happened after what but I think that is not more important than the content. Do you think so too? Oh I am talking nonsense for ever. Let us begin.

Our trouble began on our way to the airport in Finland. But a trip is not a trip if it doesn't have any ups or downs, right? Well those troubles were mostly navigators fault and we ended up finding our way to the airport and we weren't even in hurry. We had enough time to relax and wait for our flight.

"In a while you will feel fine-bag"

When we finally got on our flight, there wasn't any more trouble. Only shocking thing was that just before we landed, like 10 minutes before landing our plane was hit by a lightning. I don't mean to scare you or anything like that and as you can notice I am completely okay and alive. We were sitting perfectly in middle of the plane and when the lightning stuck there was this huge light ball right next to us.

The red dots mean us and that white dot means the light ball

In that picture above you can see where we were sitting and where the light ball was. When I told about this to dad the only thing he could say was:
"WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF IT??!!" Of course I wasn't thinking about taking pictures, the only thing I was thinking was if I and the others would be alive after few minutes later. But nothing happened to the plane and we landed happily. This was the first time lightning stuck the plane for me and I have been in planes a lot so I think this is one in hundred. Nothing to worry about.

This was when we were strolling around the neighborhood

We landed in London Gatwick airport with is not the biggest one in London but I think it was really nice. We got to the city by train and then we took our first adventure by tube. After dragging our luggage around the city we were pretty much tired and wanted to get rid off the heavy stuff. After leaving our stuff to our hotel, which was really nice and cozy, we went to eat lunch. We found this beautiful cafe and from then on we ate our breakfast in there. If you are in the area I recommend you to stop by if you are in the mood for good coffee or cake.

The completely red dots mean the location. 

This shows you the location of Aldgate coffee house. I hope you enjoy your coffee like we did. The rest of the day we just got used to the area and the tube. Saw funny people and things. And hit the bed early.

The real adventures start for here. Tell you more later. Sorry this came so late but I had bad camera problems that I needed to take care of. See ya.
