I even know one guy who said that he loved watching sad dramas 'coz he could cry his eyes out while watching. He said it always made him feel good afterward.
Anyway, I went to a store again downtown to buy a pot for my X-mas cactus. Now let me share with you some pics of X-mas decorations from around town he he he...
First pic: my new pot. Isn't it cute? I LOVE the star decoration on the pot he he he...The post cost €3.95 (around 45,000 rupiahs).
Second pic: This is how the flower lamp looks like when I took the pic without the blitz he he he...
Third pic: It's the apt. building behind us. Sorry it's not too clear, but click on it to view a bigger size and you'll see the star-shaped lamps on one window. I LOVE them!!! ;-D
Now starting from the below pic, I took some pics while going downtown...so just enjoy the trip he he he he he...Sorry to say that some of them aren't too clear.
This below pic is the pic of downtown. The very centre of Sodankylä he he he...
See the big snowman there? I think it's fake, though hmmm...and you can see a X-mas tree in front of the bookstore (kirjakauppa). Kirja = book, kauppa = store.
The below pic is a pic of one of the bars here.
As you can see, the below pic is a pic of a hotel and its restaurant. Karhu Hotelli = Bear Hotel.
This house below actually looked MUCH nicer than in the pic. Since it's located very close to Lidl, you can see Lidl's lamps reflected on the window. They really ruined my pic he he he he he...GRRRRRRR!!!
Now this below pic is a pic of our apt. Yes, located on the third floor. Hubby said that he broke some parts of the lamp on the balcony (see the party that didn't shine?) 'coz he twisted it too much.
And here's a pic taken from inside our bedroom. Nice glowing colourful lights...MMMM...I'm feeling REALLY festive HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...
He he...we 'women' can watch a movie laughing and crying at the same time ha ha ha...
ReplyDeleteEeee...the pot is SO VERY CUTE... ;D Oh yes, in the 3rd pic I can see the 'star lights' and the snow is so silvery and glittering on the ground.
The hotel seems to be so simple from the outside.
WoW!! Everything look so white and full of lights...Lovely!! Now, I can see you sitting inside your apartment, Amel he he he...
Choc Mint Girl: HA HA HA HA...Laughing and crying at the same time? Yes, but only when it's funny but I never cried and laughed at the same time when it was a sad movie he he he...
ReplyDeleteYeah, the pot's SO cute, isn't it? ;-D Glad you can view the pics pretty clearly. ;-D
The hotel's really simple indeed. All the hotels here are simple. No fancy hotels here, but I guess it's still expensive to stay there 'coz you've gotta have a good heating system in this cold country plus thick walls he he he...
Yup, now you can peep into my apt. HA HA HA HA HA HA...
I cry in movies also. But I always try to hold it in because I don't want my family to see my crying. But my daughter will always suspect it and will look at my and say "are you crying??" And then she'll laugh at me.
ReplyDeleteKathy: He he he he...I know what you mean. I also used to try to hold it in, but now there're only me and my hubby, I let it out 'coz he knows ha ha ha ha ha...
ReplyDeleteI am dreaming of a white Christmas.... just like the one I never be hahahhaah...

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm glad I found your blog I love to see pictures from around the world!
ReplyDeleteFor a moment I thought you were in Idaho, USA like me haha...it looks so similar. I live right next to Yellowstone National Park.
I love your little pot of flowers, it is adorable! I bought a very similar table lamp for my daughter's room, actually. Her flowers are colored and there is a butterfly too, though.
If you have time, please come see a really neat picture I added to my personal blog about a mountain near us in Cody, Wyoming. It is very, very cool and has a secret you will be amazed at. :)

Amelia,
ReplyDeleteI don't know why most women cry when watching certain movies...I don't cry and I never had...and I always wondered why women do lol *nodding*.
The pot is cute, indeed :).
Loved the snow pics...it is so Xmasish :)!
Cheers
Max: You never cried?!?!?!?! WOW!!! Well, my question is more to this point: WHY do women or even some guys LOVE crying (and feeling good about it afterward) while watching a movie? HE HE HE HE...
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the pot and the pics. ;-D
