Music - food for my soul

Music is everywhere. You can hardly avoid it. For me music is a way to have fun and relax. And it can bring good memories on your mind. I play a piano but I'm not very keen on it. Sometimes it's annoying and sometimes it's ok. Usually it's nice when you know how to do it and you have good songs to play.

Everyone has their own music tastes. There is no such thing as wrong or right music taste. Mine is more like pop, r'n'b, indie and things like that. For example I like Coldplay's music. Their music is simply amazing! I would love to go to their concerts. I hope they will come to Finland someday. Sometimes I like to listen to some old songs too. But usually I prefer to listen a modern music which plays on the radio.

I have beeing in couple of big concerts like Muse, U2 and Rihanna. It's just wonderful and exciting moment when you see your idol come on stage and start to play. It's crazy... Next summer I will go to one concert again. I can't wait to see and hear it.

When you stress about school, tests or things like that, music can be a good way to relax. It can make you feel happier or it can help you to cope other bad things. Whatever music you listen to, enjoy it! I love music even though sometimes it frustrates me like I'm playing a piano. I hope that in the future I will go to many great concerts and I can play a piano a little better.

Sport builds character?

“Sport builds character even more than muscle and stamina.” At first I thought that isn't true. But yes, sport can definitely build character. Sport is a good thing in mental and physical way. It can help you at school and other things in life eventhough sometimes it can make you feel more tired. If you do some training you can clear your mind everything not so nice things.

Like I said, all sports are good for you in many ways. If you do sport actively, you may have to spend more time on it. It can be sometimes frustrating, but usually the reward comes after you. You can get disappointments but that help you cope with other hard things. For some people sport can also be a good way to reach self-confidence. In that way you can feel that you are good at something.

So sometimes a little suffering can be just good for you. Then you won't give up so easily in some other things like in school. After hard training you can feel yourself much better like a winner! This is just one perspective in sport. I think that sport can affect you in so many good ways. I recommend it for everyone!

Pet-lovers

Pets are important for many people but why? And why do they keep pets? Pets can cost a lot and besides you must pay all the veterinarian expenses and foods for them. But if you can get a faithfull friend for many years, why don't you get them?

I have had pets in my home for as long as I can recall. Now I have one cat. She is nice. Many people have also dogs. You can train them easily and I think that sometimes they can understand you. At least it can seem like that!

Even though pets are just pets, they can cheer you up if you are feeling down and they are always happy when you come back home. For some people they can be a good reason for a little training and exercising. Pets can also be a good hobby. And they are also used in therapy. It's nice that you can hug and pet them anytime when you feel.

Can pets replace humans? I would say that they can hardly replace humans. Yes, they can for example help blind people but still I think that pets and humans are different things! It's sad when some people just don't get that. Pets are nice as pets!

My dream journey

If I was awarded an all-expenses-paid trip anywhere in the world, I would be for sure the happiest person in the world. It would be hard to choose only one destination, because I would love to go to so many different places. But if I had to choose, I would go somewhere in the U.S.A., for example to Los Angeles or New York. Some tropical places would also be great opinions. It would be anyway a dream come true.

But if I had to choose now, I would definitely go to Los Angeles, because it's very famous, stylish and also warm city. The beaches in Los Angeles are so beatiful and amazing! Swimming and sunbathing would be awesome! It would also be fun to try surfing, even though it looks pretty hard. Shopping in L.A. would also be one of the must things to do there! I would do that as much as possible because I think that the shops in Finland aren't nearly as cool as Los Angeles ones. And of course it would be great to see all the amazing and famous sightseeings. The camera would be in hard use for sure!

It would be nice to travel with a good friend or wih my family. The trip would probably be nothing without a good company. And it would be great to share all the amazing experiences with them.

1. Henkilökuva kirjan päähenkilöstä Andrea Sachsista

Lauren Weisberger: Paholainen pukeutuu Pradaan

Andrea Sachs on Brownin yliopistosta  valmistunut  parikymppinen nuori nainen, joka on vailla töitä. Hänen perheeseensä kuuluvat isä, äiti ja sisko. Alex on Andrean rakastettu ja hänen hyvä ystävänsä. Andrea rakastaa kirjoittamista ja siksi hänen suuri haaveensa onkin päästä kirjoittamaan kuuluisaan lehteen, The New Yorkeriin. Hänen täytyy kuintenkin ensin saada jostain työkokemusta, jotta olisi edes  jotain mahdollisuuksia päästä tähän hienoon lehteen toimittajaksi.

Andrea ajautuu työhaastatteluun Runway-nimiseen lehteen Elias-Clarkiin, joka on tunnettu muotirakennus New Yorkissa. Hänellä ei ole mitään ennakko-odotuksia haastattelulta ja siksi hän ei ota suurempia paineita siitä. Kaikki menee kuitenkin suhteellisen hyvin ja Andrealle soitetaan myöhemmin, että hän on saanut pestin Runwayn päätoimittaja Miranda Priestlyn assistenttina. Andrean täytyy muuttaa New Yorkiin ja siitä kaikki alkaa.

Andrea, joka ei ennen edes tiennyt kuka on Miranda Priestley, huomaa, että tuosta paholaisesta on tullut hänen elämänsä suurin rasite. Miranda ei jätä Andreaa rauhaan loputtomilla vaatimuksillaan ja työpäivät venyvät jopa kaksitoista tuntisiksi. Onneksi Mirandalla on toinen assistentti Emily, joka auttaa Andreaa niin hyvin kuin pystyy. Andrea on kuitenkin kakkosassistentti ja siksi hänen täytyy tehdä kaikki noutotehtävät kuten kahvin hakeminen StarBucksista ja kaikkea muita älyttömyyksiä. Miranda vaatii täsmällisyyttä ja intohimoa työhön, eikä kelpuuta mitä tahansa.

Ennen pitkään työ alkaa olla Andrealle  hänen ainoa tärkeä asiansa elämässään, eikä sitä tunnu ymmärtävän hänen poikaystävänsä Alex, eikä hänen hyvä ystävänsä Lily. Andrean suhde Alexiin on uhata ajautua karille, mutta samaan aikaan hän tapaa hyvin viehättävän miehen Christianin. Andrea joutuu miettimään, mikä on hänen elämässään todella tärkeää: työ vai ihmissuhteet.

Andrea huomaa ennen pitkää, että hänen koulutuksensa ei vastaa hänen työtehtäviään, eikä häntä koulutettu juoksupojaksi kaikkien kunnioittamalle muotilehden päätoimittajalle. Vaikka työ muotilehdessä antoi monia etuja, kuten tyylikkäisiin julkkisjuhliin pääsyn ja hienoja merkkivaatteita, Andrea tajuaa, että se ei ole hänen juttunsa. Andrea ottaa lopputilin ja tajuaa, että hän voi saavuttaa unelmansa kirjoittajana muullakin tavoin. Hänen uransa lähteekin pian yllättävään nousuun nuorten arvostamassa Seventeen-lehdessä.
