    Ciao!


    Today is the day Jesus steps into heaven after he died and resurrected.
    That means that all this time from Easter to this day He was hanging around people visibly and physichally. Cool.

    Anywaysss..
    What interesting would I have to tell you guys today, huh?
    Well, lately Ive been checking out Japanese grammar structures from the net, also searched for a "learn Korean"-site and a "Make Chinese easier"-site.
    Well.. actually the last one was just a basic Chinese-English-dicionary, but that does make Chinese easier, 對不對?

    Yesterday I was in Judo.
    Good old Judo.
    I had a good time.

    I was also wondering what people are interested in learning these days?
    Probably everyone has ones own interests whether its Biology, Astronomy, History, sports, or colecing stuff or whatever.
    But in General new information is kind of interesting.
    Unexpected things such as existing dinosaurs or evidence of a global flood are interesting, right? At least For me they are :P
    And thats what matters since Im the keeper of this Informative Interesting Realm!
    Mwhahahaa.... hah... hmm... it just doesnt make any sence does it?
    No?
    I thought so..

    Back to the subject, whatever it was again, Let me share some of my personal interests with you people:

    When I was a 7-year-old kid, I used to run around barefoot in the green grasses of Africa.
    Thats right, Africa. Tanzania to be more precise. The sun would set early letting the darkness cover the land. But that was when the bright crystals of the night-time would light up in the sky revealing Gods magnificent creativity. Dozens of stars sparkling in the darklue sky was just something I could stare at for a long long time. Thats when my imagination would be let loose and I would drift into a whole new place. A place between just me and God.
    During my time in tanzania I had grasped two new languages: English and Swahili. I think it was from that point on I felt fascination towards different languages.
    It wasn't until we moved to Northern Finland when I found out about a country called Japan. Of course I had heard about it before, but now I was intrigued by it. Through that interest I found my way to Japanese comic, anime and from there to Chinese dramas, which inevitably led to Korean ones, and ten years after returning from Africa I found myself studying different languages in a university abroad.
    Starting from childhood I had always been encouraged in art. Mainly drawing, painting. And after Africa, the dark winter nights in Finland offered me time and inspiration on drawing and imaginative comics and stories.
    Moving to a smal town in Finland straight from the heat of Africa, wasnt a bad thing in the end. The same sparkling stars covered the darkblue sky, except for the fact, that now I could no longer lay on the ground watching the stars, because of the cold snow. At least not for a long time. But I could still continue climbing trees, exploring the nature and swimming, although the surrounding were more different.
    Sometimes I wish i could find a good tree to climb over here. Then I would climb it all the way up one evening to get closer to the stars that have always shone on me.
    Come to think of it.. I have had such a blessed and rich childhood.
    All thanks to my Daddy in heaven for that.

    Anyways, in Highschool I began enjoying discussing life-death topics with people.
    I mean mainly faith, Jesus, God and beginning of the world, meaning of life and such.
    And surprisingly I found people who were as interested in it as I was.. or lets just say, almost as interested. It might be hard to be as interested as I am in discussing about God, if one is holding the view that there is no God. But either way I enjoyed discussing these matters.
    It is always interesting to find out about different views.
    I wish Id get to meet more of these people so that I can have a nice chat...

  • Random thoughts

        Yesterday evening I tried to go early to bed, but instead I ended up doing homework and arranging things till half past midnight. Finally I gathered some determinatin to go to bed. I brushed my teeth and crept into my room and threw myself on my bed.
        Though I was tired my head was full of irrelevant thoughts. It was as though my mind was having a dialogue on its own. Judo, relationships and faith were my main themes that night. I was trying to figure out myself, which was kind of hard. I had always thought I knew myself, and maybe I do, but clearly not well enough.
        After one snowy evening, when I was discussing with a friend, I realised something. After that discussion things just weren't the same. I had discovered some things with the friend and it triggered a bigger reaction in me than I had expected. There is just so much to learn...

    I leaned over my desk and yawned. The snow was steadily falling down from the sky covering the dark earth into a white veil. I was tired, but I couldnt sleep. I looked at the small clock next to me. Quarter past two am. I sighed. Maybe if I went for a walk My thoughts would be cleared from the smog they seemed to dwell in. I brighened up and grabbed my coat from near the door and peered once more outside. Still snowing, I smiled.
        The night was cool and crispy and the stars were clearly visible. White snowflakes danced down from the sky just to melt on my coat. What was it that I wanted to share with the person? The question got me offguard. What person? Was this my bored mind trying to begin a conversation again, I pondered as I walked down a narrow path. It was true though, and it didnt take me long to realize I wanted to share more of myself...

  • You know..

    You know..

    God is really amazing.
    So many things have been happening during such a short time.
    I really can't even comprehend all of it, but I do know that Jesus is so amazing.
    Gods love for us is more wonderful and big than I can even understand.

    I know God loves me, but today it was those little things He said and did that made me smile.
    You know how everyone has ones own language, way of speaking or humour.
    Well.. It is just so funny to hear someone speak "your" language.
    Not as in "Finnish", but the kind of same wave length language.

    You know, maybe there are certain things you find amusing and then someone mentiones them in a way only you understand, or then for example nature is important to you and then you hear someone refer to nature when talking about something important.
    Those are the things you can understand well, because you know the "language" the other one speaks.

    And to see God talk to you in this language of yours..
    ...Its so personal....
