Halloween,



Happy Halloween to everyone!
So, today is the Halloween day in many places. I got to know, that here in Sweden, that is not celebrate it as it is done most other countries in the World. Here, in Sweden, people will visit graveyard and will light a candle in their family members graves, who has been passed other side. That was something new for me at least, since I really thought that here is celebrating people also Halloween with pumpkins as many other countries are doing and with vampires. Here in the evening children will run to get candies and if they do not get anything, when they will be make some tricks. So, now can see, does anyone comes also to here to run and trick the candy :=) It would be my first experience here :)
Our first Halloween together with my boyfriend will be celebrated as Indian evening. Just to have something different. We will have Indian food and music and also Indian whisky and beer. It will be fun and also it will be interesting. Since I do love food from different continentals. It is nice to learn different kitchens and how they taste :)

Just another friday,

Here I am. Soon have lived at my new home 3 weeks. This time has passed quite fast so far, but I also have done a lot of things here. I have done personal security number, I have done new Swedish Id-card, opened bank account and so on and on...
Compared how things are here in Sweden and they are in Estonia, when there is quite big difference. In Estonia we are used more to use E-government. Here seems like they don't even know what it is. All here seems to go by filling papers. It feels like bureaucracy is still going here on, but so far I have survived.
Also have found small things to do, but at least it is something and that makes me feel like I am a human, and still can do some things. It feels nice and good.
Tomorrow is Halloween evening. In Estonia it has been started lately to celebrate, here seems traditions be bit longer. We will celebrate it as well at our home. Only thing is, that we will celebrate it bit untraditionally. Instead pumpkins, candies, blood, vampires and so on, we will have Indian evening with Bollywood music and Indian food. We will celebrate it together with friends and just enjoy nice and cosy evening together. It will be nice, since always is good to see friends and spend time with them.
So, now I will also close my pc down for tonight. Will go sleep, since tomorrow comes quite long day, and I have to prepare the dessert for us :P Hopefully it will taste well :P It should be, if it comes out as I want it to come out:P

So, it is first weekend at my new home. Today comes my boyfriends cousins and his friend to visit us, so, I decided to be a active and bake something nice and good. It looked out good at least, now I just have to also hope that they taste also good, else all my hard work will end in garbage can and that is something I don't like that much. Here you can see also bit what I did:D :

New home,

So, now I am in Sweden and packing open all my things what has been travelled together with me from Estonia. Not all my things fitted in to a car, but almost all, just some things what is left now my aunt's place, but that means, that also there will be something to take with us, when we visit them.
Many has been asked, how does it feel to be here in Sweden in my new home. All this is so new, so I don't know yet. Just it feels strange, that one of the closer days, my boyfriend, does not take me to a train station or airport, so I would go to home. It also feels good. Last night, before we felled to sleep, we discussed, that today morning, we don't have to wake up alone. In the evening, when my dear comes home, also I am here to wait him. It just feels very good so far.
My biggest problem is unpacking all those things:) I must say, almost all is done, just only one thing what is not done is pack open my shoes, one of my box, where is inside all sort of stuff and my big bag with clothes :D I have filled one closet, what my dear did made for me and 2 draws, but I have still one big bag what needs to be also unpack. I hope and believe that I will manage it. After that, we can start to make home more nice, kitchen and bathroom is done, other places will also be done shortly :)
Just need some time and after that I believe all will fall to it's place :)

Last night in Tallinn and in Estonia,



So, now is time for me, to write last time from Tallinn to my web diary. Tomorrow evening I will sail over The Baltic Sea to Sweden. Tomorrow I will leave my homeland and will go and take new challenges in my life.
Many of my friends and relatives have been asked, how do I feel and how I have planned spend my last night at Tallinn or in Estonia. Should I spend it quietly or should I spend it with big party, alcohol and who knows, perhaps with a hangover tomorrow morning :D Answer is simple, I try to take all what I can from my last day.
In the morning I was try to sleep bit longer, but I think that all excitement and emotions, I did not succeed on that very well. In the midday, I had agreement with one of my long time friend, that we will have lunch together. We did, but I don't know, how I will wait Christmas, since we ate Rudolf :D But it had aftertaste for skin :D Still I must admit, it tasted interesting, so this Christmas Rudolf does not drive with Santa Claus :D
After I met with my other friend and we went to see the new shopping mall, what was opened for people today morning. It was mistake :D Felt like all Tallinn was there since it was totally crowded, but still I manage to spend a little money there and buy 2 expansions for one table game and one game what can play when you travel. It is good sometimes to play table games. Helps also hold mind fresh. When we felt that this was enough, too many people around there and too loud entertainment, when we went to other shopping mall, where I met also with my previous colleagues. We had good time with chatting and talking. Talked about men, work, life and other different things. We had good time until my phone started to sing and when I answered, I got reminder, that I had missed one appointment :D Lucky for me, I was not very far from the place, perhaps 100 meters only, so I just run and had my meeting with one shop assistant. In the end when this meeting end, I had bought 2 shirts. One of them suppose to have this autumns trend color - purple :) I must say, it looked really nice and I felled love on it right a way when I tried it on me. It looked nice and definitely something what I am not used to wear. One reason why I choose it was that I remembered, how once my friend told me, that I should learn to wear the colors, since in her opinion, I hide myself behind dark colors and other reason was, that since I am moving, I wanted something for me to remember my last day in Estonia. I know, I will come here again, to visit, but it is different from time you live and work here. When you come on your vacation to visit the places and people.
When all this shopping was done, I went to Cinema. I thought it would be nice and to do something what feels good. I looked there: "The Ugly Truth" More about film can be read here: The Ugly Truth
This is one film, what was interesting to see :D At least it was fun and not only me, but also other people laughed. Something interesting, since there was not hided the language and seemed like actors said out things as they are :)
Now I am back at home. Have packed some more things. Now almost all is done, just some few small things needs more to pack and when just clean the apartment and give the keys to my landlord. After that I will meet one of my friend for lunch and when will be time to go to boat.
It feels strange to be here right now, when almost all things are packed and I am almost ready to leave. As my boyfriend said, last night for both of us to sleep alone and same time last night as bachelors. From tomorrow starts our time together as real couple, with all it's challenges. The time we both have waited and wanted. Should I afraid or should I be brave, that is a good question. I believe both, since it will be new. I know, I have lived also before abroad, but all beginnings are hard and different. I just know that my boyfriend, my family and friends, his family and friends are hopefully supporting us. I know that so far as much as I have felt, all his friends and family has been taken me well. They have been nice and helpful and that makes the fear to move somewhere in new country bit less, but still that does not mean, that I don't afraid anymore. I do afraid and I must say, I afraid a lot. All will be new and strange for me. Starting with language and when all other things. Need to figure out what would have to be first thing to do, where to go, what institutions to visit. So far I know some things what I need to do and where I need to go, but still in the end, I need to find those places and visit them, talk with people and fill up papers, but I think and so far also feel that all that bureaucracy will be in good cause. So, tomorrow morning, when I wake up, I will be in Estonia and in the evening I will leave my home country to try to make both of us happy. As every relationship needs a lot work, understanding, supporting and so on and on, then also ours, but I believe, if both persons, wants the same thing, when they also work on that directions.
I have been happy to be in Estonia and I know I will be also happy to be my new home. I will be always proud Estonian and that is a feeling, that no one can't ever take away from me. I always will be a Estonian even thought I don't live physically here.





Chat rooms,

How comes that chat rooms, can be something what makes you feel that you are addicted to net and for chat room? It has been long time, since I was self last time on a chat room and talked with people. Today, by looking time now, must say already yesterday, since time has been enemy in that subject.
I feel like I am addicted when I open chat room. When you open it, it makes to remind how it was last time, you start to talk, soon you see people, whom you recognized, that you talked last time with them and when it starts to just go. I had it exactly :D
I tried today to avoid it, since I remembered from last time how it went, but something was stronger than my will to say no :D Perhaps it was also curiosity that reminded last time, how interesting it was and reminded talk with people. It makes also feel, that you can be just yourself and not hide your feelings and emotions behind mask. You can just tell out your anonymous opinion and know, that no one don't know who are you, since usually you make a alien name to use, not your own real name. There will be always that risk, that you might be recognized by someone, but that person can't be 100% sure either, if he/she has not been with you by time you talked at chat room. That feeling makes people to feel free. Sometimes it is very good and people can tell out their own opinion and not fear that someone might dislike self the person.
So, now I need to try to close my chat, finish here the text and go to sleep :D Tomorrow will be again a new day :) Hopefully better than today :P

Summer 2009

It has been for a while, I wrote last time here. With that time, has been happen so many different things. I have enjoyed nice summer in Estonia. Have been cooked bit time at beach, so that after I looked out like a red lobster :) It was just very very painful after that couple of days ;) :P
It also has been good summer, what I have spend and enjoyed with my friends and family. It has made feeling well and relaxed. Most thing what I have enjoyed in August, was 3 weeks together with my boyfriend. It felt so good. By now, almost all my family members have met him and so far they also like him. I tried to scare my boyfriend away with my aunt, but that did not succeed :D It ended on the other hand, that my aunt likes him :D At least now I know how easy is to buy people away with nice and friendly smile and of course I can't forget part what helped my boyfriend as well and of course it was Smokehead at the car on the way home from Latvia.
This summer has been also bit travelling. First we travelled bit around in South-Estonia with my boyfriend, spend good times in the evening with my family by barbecue, real Estonian sauna, small bonfire. We visited also with him and my aunt Turaida and Sigulda in Latvia and week after had 5 active days with my partner and his friends around here in Estonia. So, now I also can say that I have been in Narva, what is as close to Russia as it can be. Just only bridge between Narva and Ivanvgorod. We also visited highest waterfall in Estonia and it was really beautiful. Also visited Haapsalu and of course Tallinn. Also have been spend a week of my holiday in Sweden. It was first time I took that trip almost all way with car, why almost, is simple reason. There has to cross first the Baltic sea with a ferry and in some strange reason it is monopoly by Tallink who travels that way directly and that is sad. I hope that one day there is more different companies who sails between Stockholm and Tallinn and not only Tallink. Perhaps also Viking Line, in my opinion they are nice and friendly company :)
By the end, it has been nice summer what I have enjoyed a lot. Also this summer has been quite nice with sun and nice warm weather. So this year can't say that it has been same as Autumn, as we usually say ;)
