From the Bird Tower

Visited at Limingan Luontokeskus and it's bird tower for some photoshooting birds. Putting my camera at it's limit but it just can't zoom so far. Click pics to see larger size and spot birds.

Summer ahead! Tarot, Writing and Seedlings!

Summer is coming!

 It's 30th of April and the birthday of my older sister, Happy Birthday!! She went to Canada for two weeks adventure.

 Right, what's news? I had a flu (drunk mint tea + honey like madman) that is over now and got replaced by allergy, pollen and birch trees. Really annoying, but I got medicine for that. I hope it's not bad as in the other year (breathing problems).

I'm waiting for invitation for library and journalist study tests. Even bought the book for journalist test, but nothing is certain. I hope to get the library study as priority.

Waiting for trees and grass to turn green, so I would take exquishite photograps of the nature. It just look like autumn at the moment. Maybe later visit at Oulu parks too. I still haven't learned to use my new camera properly, but with practice will come good and might go to library to borrow a book.

I started scrapbooking and bought few stuff to start off. The scrapbook folder will be "Once upon a time" themed and about my writing hobby. I have made only four pages now. Still excited about it. Maybe one page per week is good or I might run out of materials soon.

I got new Tarot deck, it's called Gilded Reverie Lenormand by Ciro Marchetti. Really fabulous deck! Might use it as inspiration for writing. 

There was a mess that threw me off track of everything for some time. I won't go into details. Including writing got full stop, but after aftershock I started to write again. Fantasy story will get new plot lines and twists. Quite thrilled now. Just have to push on. I try to write daily, but it still little slow.

As it's spring time, I sow some seeds Palisandra dark and Limegreen mix, Lavender and Melissa officinalis. I hope they grow well. That means I have to stay at my flat and less going to parents on these weeks. ;p Here is picture of seedlings.

Tomorrow is Vappu here in Finland. That means most of adults gonna drink their heads off! What? It's partly true! Anyways,  Happy summer waiting!

Where I have been?

Life

Whoah!  It's been while from last time I wrote. Umm.

Things been quite alright. Started a work experience at the local library and it's going nicely. A sibling was staying over in the other week and it was nice. Got look into tarot cards world. I ordered my first own Tarot deck: The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti. Really beautiful deck! I wish I could learn to listen my inner voice to undererstand card draws. Below example of cards from the deck.

Also got interested in making parchment looking like paper and vintage journals. I saw a few videos on youtube. Might give it a try on Thursday to weekend. First I have to make sure I have coffee or tea. :D

I've been trying to get back to writing too. One thousand words per day is still a challenge, depending on mood. It comes as burst in afternoon and evening sometimes, when should be going to bed! I will get to it!

I have fallen for the books! Been reading before sleeping. It helps me to catch the sandman. It is good relaxing also. Here are few books I've read, Germ, When Darkness Comes, On Writing and Lord of the Rings is now on table, next is The Children of Húrin. I think I need new bookshelf soon.

Gaming as usual, but needs to go out and take photographs since Spring has hit the kingdom! I got new camera Nikon L320 (I think) and need to learn it's secret. I'll post some pictures when I take them.

I think that's all for now. I'll try to be more frequent blogger. Have a nice week! ;)

May Update

How's going?

Recently money issue is getting smoother. I don't go into details, but it's better now. Things are working somehow.

Writing, is on pause. I have to figure stuff out again. Would want to start fantasy story again, from the beginning. Also, have to make new work plan for the project and try to get support money in the autumn.

Movies, I'm interested in the new Star Trek movie that comes over Finland on next month. New Riddick movie is on the watch list. There was another movie too, but I don't remember the name. Did I saw Iron Man 3? No, not so interesting.

Games, started Amnesia the Dark Descent gameplay along with Skyrim Series will continue. People people doesn't seem to like when post SWTOR videos. Lost one subber from my channel. The original channel idea was to share videos of games I play. Maybe they though I play only Skyrim? I don't know. I want to share other games too.
To buy list: Dark Souls: Prepare to Die, Mars War Logs and Skyrim: Dragonborn DLC.

Summer comes and along that allergic season. I have medicine for it. Have to use it through summer to early autumn. As long as birch and some other trees and plants blooms. I should be fine though. Started medicine using before spring started for real. Warm days coming, but I rather like cloudy, windy and rainy days.

That's all for now. Take care.

Rough times

                                                      Picture Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.

Life
Lately things been rough due to some decision I have made. Money situation is difficult. I have to wait for 3 weeks before it changes, but I manage it somehow. had to made decision about gaming too. Less MMO that has monthly fee and buy things that I really need. Prioritizing.

Hobbies
I've been playing Skyrim more lately since it doesn't cost, expect need to be online due Steam. Found one nice mod called Frostfall. It adds weather survival against cold and snow. Above screenshot is part of it. Tent and camp fire is needed when temperature goes too low. I love the mod. Would like to get Dragonborn DLC too.
  I have new game too. Bit.Trip Runner 2. It's fun and need to focus game. Dodging obstacles on the way to goal. I haven't played it much.

Writing, I have written a bit. Current situation stopped it for the time being even though I want to continue writing. Hopefully it I get to it soon. I have Grig's story under work and need to work on the fantasy story if I want to get published one day.
