I've just booked a place for an entrepreneur seminar in this village. Funny thing is that the other day there was a rather slow day at work and during a break I managed to browse through a local newspaper and found the advertisement for this seminar. It's for free and it'll be held for two days on October 23rd and 24th. It's for anyone who's interested in opening their own businesses or who is thinking of opening one.
They will tell us what kind of businesses there are in Finland and all the basic info about opening your own business, funding, pricing, etc. Sounds good, right? :-))) We'll see how it goes then. :-)))) I feel like I'm about to step into another dimension or something, you know? In a way it's good to be able to find out these things before I go to Indo so that I can think of what to bring to Finland to try to sell here (or if they're worth selling here).
And now let me share my 3BT post here too:
1. Finding a generous sum of tips in one bedroom at the hotel HO HO HO HO HO...Remember that guests here don't normally give any tips, so if they give some, it's already more than good. But today I found one who gave a generous sum. WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! :-D
2. Used the money to buy salad, tomatoes, cucumber, and a bag of chips (new flavour).
3. Tasted the new-flavoured chips (sour cream and pepper) and LOVED it! ;-D
4. Almost forgot this one: The government has reduced the taxes for food by 5% (it was 17% and now it's 12%) until July 2010. It really helps me A LOT in cutting down my grocery budget. YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
5. SUPER delicious chocolate pudding at the hotel. I'm drooling while thinking of the taste...simply superb...wish I could ask for the recipe hi hi...
6. Why, tomorrow is Friday and it's a cause for celebration 'coz then weekend is coming SOON and then I have only one day of work left (Monday) HO HO HO HO HO...
7. Found some CHEAP CHEAP reddish mangoes from Brazil in Lidl (at only €0.99 per kg - usually it's over €2/kg). OH YEAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
8. The winter boots I bought on a discount last spring (that I only start wearing now) are REALLY REALLY soft and comfy. LOVE 'em!!! ;-D
1. Hubby bought me a 3-step stool for the kitchen since the shelves are SOOOOO high for me!
2. Bought MIL two types of tulips for Valentine's Day (AKA Friendship Day in Finland). Funny thing was that she was thinking of buying herself some tulips before that, but it was such a cold day downtown that she cancelled it. Actually at first I was going to buy a different type of flowers, but for some reason I was drawn to those tulips. I'm SO HAPPY that she got the flowers that she had been wanting!
3. My MIL gave me such a TIGHT and LONG hug after I gave her the flowers. ;-D
4. I wrote and left a love note for hubby (Post-It note) on the car as I was walking out to get some newspaper from the PO since I saw his car parked nearby (he was working on some computers at the City Hall). I knew that note would surprise him and it did! ;-D
5. Hubby brought some chips today ---> this is a coincidence since I've been craving for some chips, too HO HO HO HO...
6. I'm going to make some pancakes soon. YUM YUM...
7. Despite the financial situation, we can still afford living in a nice, warm place and also go on a vacation in summer. THANK YOU GOD for His BLESSINGS!!!
Note: I've been busy again, so I'll only blog-hop during the weekend, OK? But I may still write short posts so that my blog isn't too outdated he he he...Take GOOD care of yourself and love yourself, everybody!!!
1. Getting student money = I can buy fruit more often HI HI HI HI HI HI HI...

3. Hearing news that my brother got quite a nice amount of bonus from work. YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

This afternoon I was writing a post and then the power went down three times. Then my computer started getting weird, so I turned it off and waited for my hubby to come home to fix it. It wouldn't budge, so he's now reinstalling the whole thing. YIKES!!! Tough job! That's why I'm falling WAY behind in visiting my fellow bloggers' blogs. I'm now using my hubby's computer here. Let me just write this small post to let you know that I'll be back when my computer's fixed.1. Light apple cider. Used to think I only loved light pear cider, but when I tried light apple cider, it makes me ADDICTED to it. TASTYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! (Light = only consists of max. 1.2% alcohol in it)2. Hamburger with my homemade burger steak, eaten with chips he he he...3. Selling some plastic bottles and beer cans to Lidl. In return I get a receipt where I can get a deduction while buying groceries. YIIIPPPIIIIEEE!!! I LOVE it!!!!!!!!! And I actually LOVE putting all the bottles and beer cans into the machine HI HI HI...LOL!!!4. Having enough money to buy chocolate, cider, ice cream, fruit, chips, and popcorn every now and then, not just our staple food. Life is GRRREEEAAAAAAAAATTTTT!!!!5. Listening to my hubby singing his silly little tunes he he he...
1. Fanning my topless hubby with a magazine while he was trying to take a nap on the couch (today's been especially HOT, around 27'C) and then hearing him say, "Now I know why in the harem there're some girls fanning the maharaja. It feels SO good." LOL!!!2. Going to the cemetery and felt peace. It made me think of the lives of those people. Who were they? What had they done in their lifetimes?3. Flowers in front of most of the tombstones. The cemetery seems to have been well taken care of. 4. Seeing a woman sitting down in front of a tombstone. Maybe she was praying. It's just nice to see that someone remembered their loved one who's gone away for good.5. Hearing people's laughter from afar while I was standing underneath the hot sun. 6. Buying REAL steaks for the first time since I moved here. YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! I'm drooling already! ;-D Oh, and I bought some chips too. *tee hee* Yeah, I'm bad!!! ;-D7. Gathering up enough courage to go inside the old wooden church here. I'll post the pic tomorrow. I'm telling you that it ain't easy to go outside of your own "safety" box and do something daring he he he...
