i know . i know i know i know . it's been a while since the last time i updated anything in my dA . i hadn't even logged in in weeks , which is really weird , since i'm awfully addicted to this thing ( yes , and i do admit that ) and all the awesome stuff some of you guys have in here to show . it's not that i had taken a break or anything , i've been shooting with my crappy camera all the time , that's what i always do , but i've been just waaay to busy and , yeah , lazy to actually reply to all , or well , pretty much ANY of my mails . and i'm sorry guys .

aaanyways --- stopped by to let you guys know about my trip to my beautiful baby city , san francisco . it just absolutely has a piece of my heart in there now , i could move there anytime . we spent four days there with my real mom who was visiting me from finland , and heck yeah , we had an awesome time . so great to see each other for the first time in six months . i need to admit , i'd missed her a lot , obviously . we shopped , took a sightseeing tour around the town , shopped more , ate in fancy restaurants , met some old friends of my mom's , visited some art galleries , shopped a little more and , of course , walked around taking pictures . it was weird to get to talk in finnish , my native language , since i've been using pretty much only english for the passed half a year . yep , half a year --- how does time fly by so fast ? i don't get it . in a way i miss my home and all my friends in there , but on the other hand i've got a new home and new friends here in california , too . it'll be the hardest thing to leave from here eventually this june , which'll be here in 4 months . yikes ! i guess the best , no , the ONLY thing for me to do is to enjoy the rest of my days in here , just having fun and getting a sort of feeling of the sweet taste of my life in the future , HOPEFULLY , i mean .

my late newyear's promise for myself ?
to be more active about everything and to be stronger .
not to mention that i promise to update my dA more often .
amen for that .
