I♥tennis

Some years ago, I used to play at least once a week.. I miss those times sooooo much, because I love playing tennis!! This summer I got to play only once which is quite sad... Well, I won the game anyway, so it was a good one haha :D But on previous summers, my week could look like this:

A normal week: 3 hours of tennis, 3 days a week

A tennis camp week: 6 hours of tennis, 5 days a week

I really feel like playing tennis now!!! :(

Ps. I know I'm standing on the baseline... Faaault!

4-0!!

I'm sure that my cap helped Spain to win yesterday ;)

Iltalenkillä

I took a long walk today, 2 hours!! At first I was planning to go to gym, but I forgot the locker key home.. A long walk like that can be nice as well:) Too bad it's late now and I still haven't done my homework...

Kouluhommaa ja reenihommaa

Just some stuff I found while cleaning my room.

At first, here's the health update from yesterday:

I spent 2 hours at gym :) 1 hour indoor cycling, 45min weight training and 15min flexing. I'm really pleased about that workout, because I got to train all the muscle groups I wanted, and it wasn't too hard either.

Meiji chocolate, omnomnomnomn... Don't worry, that photo was taken a long time ago, I didn't slip from my healthy routine now ;)

And here's the school update:

I got an invitation for an entrance exam in Helsinki! That means I'll visit Helsinki after a few weeks, how awesome is that?? In case I haven't told it here yet, I'll probably move to Helsinki during the summer♥ So, I'm looking for an apartment at the moment... It's so difficult to find a cheap but good apartment! :s

And new cosmetics! I haven't tried the Aussie stuff yet, but the Vaseline body lotion was good, like all Vaseline products tend to be :)

PS. 19,000 pageviews (even though the flag counter on the side--->

doesn't agree:D)... Thank you anyway♥♥

Healthier

It's spring and I'm not busy, so I started to change my habits to the healthier way. I still have time to get into some sort of bikini shape before the summer holidays... But I need some hard work (an less treats:)!! I'm not very keen on losing weight, but getting my muscles back... They have vanished :(

So, what's the easiest way to get some muscle? Going to the gym of course!! So I bought a gym card of two months. Normally the gym card costs 95€/month, but I got it for 88€/2 months. Great deal isn't it? They also told me that if I want to continue my membership there after that two months, I'll get the summer months for free!

I bet the smart ones noticed already- my "new" lifestyle means that I'll make more posts considering health from now on, I hope everybody's fine with that :) I won't forget the other posts either, so just skip the boring parts! Stay tuned ;)

Ja lissää hiihtelyä:)

Yesterday: XC skiing 1,5h + jogging 40min.. That is the best way to spend a bithday;) Now I'm officially 17...
The jogging part got me a bit surprised tough. Normally my route takes 45 minutes, but this time it took only 40 even if the route was a bit longer than normally! I haven't been doing much sport in the past few months, so the results should be completely opposite. And also, I went jogging after skiing, so of course I should have been slower... This is a mystery indeed :o

Today: Walking 1,5h. My legs felt a bit tired so I decided to take it easy and go walking on the ice instead of skiing. That wasn't a very good idea though.. I was walking there quite far away from any people (actually I saw no people at all!) when I heard a voice of breaking ice. That's normal, so I continued my way a bit... Then the voice got louder and I was able to see the ice breaking around :s Needless to mention that better safe than sorry, I got away from the ice and took a walk in a safer place.

About the pics: See that hole in the ice? Can you guess what it is??:p

The pic with that strange frozen hay is actually a pic with my damaged hair... I forgot to hide my hair inside a hat when skiing, and that's what happened :/

Viikonlopun kiirekiirepostaus

Here it is, the new hair color... TOO REDDISH! Well, even professional hairdressers say that it's extremely hard to change my hair to non-reddish(?), so maybe this color is just fine :)

Yesterday was a busy day, because I needed to buy some high school books. They cost 140€ because I found only one used book (it was 10€, how cheap♥). The other books were ~20€ each... I also needed to cover them with plastic, because I plan to sell the books when I don't need them anymore (€€€€!!!). The only problem is that some of the books might be too old for sale when I graduate :(

In the evening I went to gym and exercised for 2 hours as always. I've improved so much, because just a few weeks ago I was able to manage 30kg on adductor muscle thing(?) Anyway, now I can do 50kg, and the max is 60! So only 10kg left :D

What was I looking at? I seem so focused haha :D

More vintage stuff from our summerhouse! From 1970s!!

The first rainbow I've seen this summer... Actually there were two of them but the other one disappeared too quickly. Sorry for bad photo, I was in a car so I couldn't take a better one.

I got a 10€ voucher from my favorite Turkish clothing brand: Mavi Jeans. The only problem is that I have no idea what to buy because they sell mostly jeans and I don't want to buy jeans from the internet... Well, I have 2 months to make my decicion, hopefully I'll find something very nice♥

I've been into these vitamin drinks for a while now. I usually drink it while exercising, and today I really needed it because it was my first time to try BodyCombat! It's a workout based on martial arts, such as Muay Thai (Thai boxing) and karate. I really enjoyed BodyCombat, even if it was really hard ;)

Uiskentelua ja kuntosaleilua

Finally I got these cards! The white one is a 10-time pass to the local swimming hall and the orange one is 1 month pass to the local gym ;) So I've been training a lot these days... But today I have a free day from training and I'm really bored!

Waken SM-kisat 2011

 I went to see the Finnish cable wakeboarding championships today! This is from the men's final :)

Kneeboarding

... Because I was too bad at wakeboarding!

Before we left to central Finland, there was a some kind of biking competition in Oulu. I didn't even know about it before we were driving to the downtown and saw the competitors. Too bad I didn't have time to watch the whole race!

We'll drive back to Oulu tomorrow at night! Busy busy busy ;)

I haven't been talking much about sport lately, so maybe you have been thinking that I'm not interested in that anymre. But as a matter of fact, it's not true at all, I'm still hooked in sports! Yesterday was a bit horrible, though... My ankle started to feel strange so I had to stop before the gloal time which was 2 hours. Luckily my ankle seems to be okay now, at least I hope so!!

Sorry about the quality of the pics, I took them on my cellphone camera while I was walking around Oulu a loooooong time ago :)

The plane departs at 6:25am tomorrow so I won't be posting until... Monday? But I'll take my laptop with me because the hotel offers free Wifi so maybe I'll make a small post... MAYBE!

 Hopefully the ash cloud from Iceland doesn't reach Finland or Germany before we're in Berlin, it would be soooooo boring if the flight got canceled :(

Well anyway, have a nice week everybody♥♥

SPRINGGGGG♥♥

I feel like a superhero right now, did so much sport yesterday (3 hours, that's a lot to me!) and my muscles are not even hurting! Tervahiihto, here I come!!!

A school outfit, bit too boring but I blame my room for that, it's still a mess so I can't find more clothes... Oh well, I have almost emptied it already! Even gave some books away! And planning to sell some clothes that I bought in Japan, especially one skirt that cost 90€ and I have NEVER worn it...

Ha, playing with PhotoScape... I'd really need Photoshop (we have the 232463634634636345 years old version and I can't use it), but it's so expensive that I prefer using free software ;)

New shoes....again? I had to buy them, seriously! Remember the grey ones I bought for Berlin? They're almost broken already... No wonder why they cost only 10€♥ But at least I learnt something from that, so these shoes are a bit more expensive, 25€ ;D

Problems with Blogger....

Blogger deleted my post so I'm too lazy to write all the text again, sorry! Has anybody else had problems with Blogger lately...?

GO FINLAND!!!!♥♥♥

EDIT//

GO GO GRANLUND!! He's from Oulu by the way ;)

Foodfoodfood and tennis

Something very suspicious isn't it? It was my first attempt to try TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of meat! That bread on the left side is Karjalanpiirakka and the potato is just... a potato. But that beef is what we're focusing on now! There is for example beetroot, TVP and parsley in it so it's kinda healthy! And it was delicious, too :) 

And then, the next suspicious thing! It looks like French fries, but it has no potato in it!! I used Swedish turnips/rutabagas/yellow turnips or whatever you want to call them. 

And here comes the last suspicious thing! Buckthorn porridge! You know, buckthorn is super healthy, but in my opinion they don't taste so good, so I was just a bit tentative when I bought that packet of porridge. And yeah, as you can see on the left, the porridge looks a bit strange... But the taste isn't bad at all, especially with banana slices (as shown below), it's very good! And it's organic, that's always a biiiig plus ;D

And some kind of announcement to the end: I stopped taking tennis lessons! Actually it was several months ago but I didn't remember to tell you guys. As tennis is one of my biggest passions, I would have wanted to continue playing, but got some argument with my friend and the tennis club. Well, I'm waiting for the summer even more and more, free tennis courts on the city where our summer cottage is located♥♥

Oh I almost forgot, another announcement: About 4700 people have visited my blog now, so 5000 is really close! I could make some kind of special post, any ideas?
