Chocolat and Snow

Dear readers,
this week has been full of exams, but now it's finally over. Today I had a Russian exam, and I do not have any idea if I'll pass it or not. I'm sure I'll pass all the other exams, though.

    

Yesterday I bought two movies on VHS. ~ yeah, I know that hardly anyone uses them anymore, but that's why they were so cheap! :) I bought ' Chocolat' (2000) and 'The Winterguest' (1997). I watched the first one yesterday, and I really liked it - fell in love with it. ;) I got to laugh so much, and my favourite actor. Johnny Depp, was on it.  Here are the trailers, who knows, maybe you'd like them as well.

I received a lovely postcard from Singapore! :)

This card came from Sri Lanka with a letter. I really love elephants. It's said that they bright good luck. :>

This one is from Turkey, though it does kinda look like the Alps. 

Now to the letters... :)) 

Received from: 

- Thilini, Sri Lanka

- Daphne, Hong Kong

- Hyun-Ju, South Korea

- Abdülkadir, Turkey

- Emma, Australia

Of course I sent out some letters, as well. :p 

- Hanta, Madagascar

- Naomi, Malaysia

- Almante, Lithuania

- Emilia, Finland

- Thilini, Sri Lanka

The weather is so great at the moment. :) It's snowing, which looks so beautiful! It will make all the Christmas lights look so pretty as well. I wish it would snow a lot, so that I could go skiing. ;) 

Enjoy the weekend!

Almost 80 years of pen palling

Heyy!

This week I read an article about two ladies, who have been corresponding with each other since they were 8 years old, so almost for 80 years. They started pen palling through school, but have continued it ever since.
On the article they tell that they have met four times, and the first meting happened in 1966. I find it so cool that same people have been exchanging letters for such a long time, and are going to continue exchanging them. I wish I could say the same when I'm as old as they are. :)

Let's talk a bit more about Christmas. Well, the only thing that I have to say is that I have started to decorate for Christmas. On November 1st I put some Christmas lights to our home to create the atmosphere (not only for Christmas, but also to help with the darkness).. =)
Here is another Christmas song that I like. =D It's called 'Varpunen jouluaamuna.' There are three versions of it (I couldn't decide which one I like the most :p)
