be open with your love and loud with your laughter. life is so much brighter when lived genuinely.

[lauravanc]

I wanna be that person who just radiates nice energy like, I wanna be that person who you’ve never spoken to before but you think of me as a friend already. I wanna be that person you feel that you can come to for advice whenever, or someone who makes you feel better by just talking to you. I’m gonna try really hard to be that person.

[drawing of a small green plant in an orange pot next to a caption that says “Just because you feel unmotivated sometimes doesn’t mean you’re not good at what you do. It doesn’t mean you should quit. It’s normal to feel that way every now and then. You’re great at what you do and you can become even better. You got this.” in light green text.]

[lauravanc]

there’s no such thing as a stupid reason not to kill yourself.

your school sells cookies on thursdays? your favorite band is coming out with a new album? you’re still saving up for that tattoo? there’s still five sodas in your fridge and it’d be a shame to let them go to waste? you want to see the season finale of that show you love? keep living.

your reasons don’t have to be big, if they mean anything to you then they’re good reasons.

This is how you spell Canada, not with a k dummy.

Depends on where you live, dummy. Just to spell it out for you even more clearly: in my ‘native language’, Finnish, we use a K. Did you somehow miss that the whole thing was written in a language you most likely can not read? Dummy.

Kuvia kiinalaisen uudenvuoden paraatista! Tervetuloa lohikäärme, baibai pupu :)

[lauravanc]

Chinese Pub Night!

Juhlistimme töissä kiinalaista uutta vuotta "pubi-illalla": live-musiikkia, juomia ja opiskelijat tarjoilijoina. Tässä muutama kuva illanvietosta! Niin ja pahoittelut Ritvalle, Hansille ja Sannalle tuosta ryhmäkuvasta, oli ihan pakko lisätä sekin tänne :D

[lauravanc]

Aika käy vähiin...

7 työpäivää jäljellä?!

Työharjoittelu on pikkuhiljaa loppumassa, ja pitkään on ollut tästä tosi ristiriitaisia tunteita. On ollut aivan loistava matka, ja työympäristö ei olis voinu olla parempi - siispä tuleekin iso ikävä. Talon asukkaista ja henkilökunnasta jää pysyvät muistot ja arjesta jää elämään "sisäpiirin vitsit" joita muut ei tule koskaan tajuamaan :D

Työskentely täällä on opettanut paljon. Samalla on ollut niin hauskaa ja vaivatonta että paluu arkeen koulussa ja Suomessa hirvittää hieman... Kolmen kuukauden aikana on ystävystynyt monien sellaisten ihmisten kanssa, joita realistisesti ei enää koskaan tule näkemään. Huh, rankkaa. End of a chapter.

Mutta kyllä odotan innolla paluuta kotiin ja rakkaan kainaloon.

[lauravanc]

Arvatkaa mikä on tosi hauskaa? Pelata Xbox Kinectiä hyppimällä ja pomppimalla - täydellä vatsalla! Sitten illan maha kramppaa ja seuraavana aamuna ollaan ihan jumissa.

Syytän tästä täysin yhden asukkaamme tytärtä Barbaraa ja tämän miestä Tonya - ensin houkuttelee meidät luokseen herkullisella aterialla ja sitten haastaa pelaamaan. Mutta oli kyllä ihan hullun hauskaa ja molemmat on aivan ihania!

[lauravanc]

Kävin katsomassa Kaunottaren ja Hirviön tänään 3D:nä. Oli ihana, vaikka täällä sitä kutsutaankin nimellä "Beauty and the Beast" ja hahmot puhuvat outoa, vierasta kieltä ;) Loved it!!!

[lauravanc]

Talvi tuli, talvi meni!

Täällä oli (taas) sään kannalta jännä viikko, kun Alaskan suunnalta tuli kylmä rintama Vancouveriin asti! "Hirveät talvilukemat" vallitsivat jopa 3 päivää: -7 astetta! Kouluja suljettiin ja liikenne meni sekaisin, koska luntakin tuli, meilläpäin noin 2 senttiä (paikoittain reilusti enemmänkin)! Nyt kevät onkin sitten jo koittanut ja plussa-asteet toivat mukanaan reippaat vesisateet, joten se mainittu lumi on jo kadonnut.

Täytyy kyllä mainita että heti kun lähdetään rannikolta sisämaahan, pakkaset olivat kyllä hieman purevammat: noin -35 astetta. Mutta naapurin rouvat kertovat ettei täällä kaupungissa ole vuosikymmeneen lämpötila laskenut alle -10 asteeseen... Eli "innolla odotan paluuta Suomen helmikuiseen säähän" :D
