I am closing this blog...

...meaning I won't post here anymore :S There are many reasons, and I have moved to jenzzrandom.wordpress.com where you can read more about why I'm moving - hope to see you there :)

Also, I will update the new adress to my Facebook-page and hopefully get more out of blogging along with the move to WordPress :)

P.S. I will not delete this blog 100% as yet - I just won't post here anymore, so you can still tune in if you're bored.. or something.. I dunno :P

10 cool DIY-ideas!

Okay so I've recently become really inspired - I want to do something new out of something old!

#1 - Decorate your jeans
This I was thinking of doing in art school after I'm done with my graduation project - it looks really fun and easy + cool!

#2 -  Something new out of t-shirts

This I am so totally going to do!! Can't wait for summer!

Use an old (or new) over-sized tee and make it come alive all over again!

This you won't need an over-sized shirt for, just take whatever you find!

#3 -(Tie-)Dye your jeans!

This is simply too awesome - you'll find tutorials on YouTube for sure, and once I do this I'll post a 'How to' on this one :)

How to make your boring shorts come alive! I was thinking of doing this as a reward for myself as soon as I can pull off these kind of shorts !

#4 - Use up left-over fabric..

.. or check for leftovers at a textile-shop :) You can find cheap yet wonderful fabric in those boxes of theirs!

 

#5 - A simple way to fancy up an old lampshade!

I think this will work best on paper ones, but with patience and a needle that's thick enough it should work on fabric as well :)

#6 - Make a scarf-like necklace 

Instead of using a t-shirt you can use some more left-over fabric :D

#7 -Grab a top and tie knots!

I'm thinking of doing this one too and I'll post a 'How to' on this one too (the picture seems to be a bit blurry?) - all you do is tie knots!

#8 - Make your girlfriend (or yourself) a geeky Angry Birds bra!

Get hold of a plain white cotton-bra and buy some textile paint (or markers), draw the figures and colour! (the ''Pokebra'' is also an option!)

#9 - Magnetic keyboard

Take out the keys of an old/broken keyboard and stick some magnetic tape to the back of them - piece of cake!

#10 - Jewelry holder

I'm going to do this in the summer - I'll keep you updated ;)

 I'm goin to keep my eyes open for more nice ideas !

Our planet will thank you (Y)

International Women's Day - IWD

Happy International Women's Day to all the amazing women on our planet! Life would surely not exist for very long if there were no women, so all of the male population should bear that in mind ;)
Here's a video with the song ''One Woman" which was launched to celebrate this special day :)

Preparing for exam and Russia

Hey!
Tomorrow I have my stupid history-exam about Finland from 1808-1939 *yay*.. not!
The best thing about my exam being tomorrow is that then it'll be over with - no more stress for a week :P + I'll meet up with a friend tomorrow *YAYY*

On Thursday this lady is off to St. Petersburg, Russia - gotta love school, rihgt? First they stress you out, then you get to go on a 4-day mini-vacation ;)
There should be Wi-Fi in the hotel, so I will try my hardest to get a short series of posts from Russia :) (wether it's from lappy or phone I don't know yet - surprises, surprises :P )

Now sleep is calling me - see you guys tomorrow :D

The histoy of Finland - studies are boring

*sigh* here I am again - studying. This time it's history. Not just any history -- it's the not-so-interesting-or- amazing history of Finland!! *amazed gasp* :P
The reason I don't find this too amusing is that we've learned all of this before (primary and secondary school taught me a lot ;) ) and now it's just been filled with weird, old words... plus the book we're using is really weird and it skips a lot from here to there and back to the moon!

Oh well - be expecting a superboring post with the history of Finland in a short and boring post :P

//jz

Feeling like the fattest a$$ on the block..

Title says it all..
I can't even find jeans that fit me anymore ( no, my waist isn't that huge (33" ?), I just think everything looks hideous on me/rips before you can say 'hi' ) - byebye candy and soda, see you when I'm smaller! (might take years but I'll get there)
..
...
....
.....
and no, I won't turn my blog into a blog about ''My weightloss journey'' or anything like that; I'll write down stuff if I feel like.

UMK - "Marry Me" Krista Siegfrids

I'm so late with this post ... anyway;

A while back (like last week or something?) Finland chose the act that's going to represent us in ESC (Eurovision Song Contest) and one of my favourites won YAYYY!!
She's not just one of my favourites, but also a Swedish-speaking Finn (Wikipedia-information here) , which makes it even more awesome that she's the act that was chosen :D

Hopefully she'll do great :D

//jz

P.S she wrote the song for her fiancée/boyfriend-whatever-person  ;)

Listening to music you don't understand (?)

Title says it all - that's what I've been doing for the past few hours today and last night ;)
Vivian the Taiwanese has been giving me links to tons of S.H.E-songs on YouTube - and I have then downloaded them :D
They're actually darn good! Here's a song that's cheerful and funny and cute as heck! (NB!: I don't understand the lyrics ofc ; ) )

Have a good day everyone :D

New haircut!

Hey again!
As I said in my previous post I'll share a few pics of my new hair - here goes :D

So what do you think? ☺
(NB: It's sorta poofy 'cause the hairdresser dried it all poofy :P)

//jz

Feeling nerdy :P

Short hair + glasses + Skype + Googlework (+ Chinese New Year - pics tomorrow) = feeling nerdy :P

Pics of my totally amazingness awesome hair will also be coming up tomorrow ;)

//jz☺♥

One day...

... until my "lovely" mop (see image below)

will be cut off !!
In a way I'm freaking excited , but I'm  also sort of terrified of people's reactions :S Most people are just excited - or unaware - of what the future will hold ;)
I'll post pictures tomorrow (if I have the time - we'll be going to see Chinese new year-celebrations in Helsinki tomorrow ; Vivian the crazy Taiwanese hobbit is taking us ^^)
Looking forward to tomorrow!!

Auburn - "Perfect Two" ♥

♥ 2½ years of Jenishu randomness has passed already - feels just crazy!
This song, I think, describes my relationship with Vishu quite perfectly; one just cannot be complete without the other ^^
Hopefully you all enjoy the song :)

"I Knew You Were Trouble"

Gosh, I'm addicted to this song - so catchy!!
When I was sick this song came on MTV all the freaking time! Lying on the sofa, watching MTV's rather funny programs and listening to good songs all day long - ah, that's the life ;)

(skip to 2:03 if you don't want to see the intro - it's kinda weird... ?)


I'm not really a huge Taylor Swift fan, but she has some songs that I really like - I knew you were trouble, Safe and sound, You belong with me - I esp. like the MV ;) , Our song and We are never getting back together.

Yay - now I'll continue studying logarithms and everything around those -.-'

Science proves the obvious - 14 examples

So I was surfing around the other day and I came across this

 and automatically went *facepalm* - then I realized that science acutally "proves" many things like this - *sigh* the human race is losing the last bits of its braincells?

Anywhoozies - I did some Googlework and came across loads of these "scientific" fact that I would just call 'common sense wins the race'. Down below are some examples ;)

1. Unsafe sex is more likely after drinking
2. Smoking pot and driving isn't safe
3. Pigs love mud
4. Parents don't think their kids are doing drugs
5. People aren't doing anything in particular on the Internet

(these 5 "facts" were from here , there are many more and you can also read amazing facts about the scientific facts)

6. People with more experience make better decisions
7. Keeping guns out of the hands of troubled individuals saves lives
8. Exercise is good for you
9. Calling an ambulance improves heart attack survival
10. Smoking a lot of pot can make your mind fuzzy
11. Driving when drunk is unsafe
12. High heels are bad for your feet
(these are from here  , same thing - tons of interesting facts about these - and also some more amazing wows)

13. Little boys like cars
14. Performance-enhancing drugs enhance performance
(and these two are from here   - I am amazed)

Sometimes I really can't help but wonder what  really goes on in research facilities - this seems like pretty down to earth logic to me ?

Yatta, yatta, yatta! - WTH?!

Lol, okay sooo..... "a video says more than an infinite number of words" :

Somehow I find this extremely funny - ''it's so eeeasyyy, happy goo-o luckkyyy'' LOL!!! Gotta love it :)
Perfect song for sick days :)

//jz
P.S I found out about this song via Bubzbeauty's tag video (jump to 2:24) - just in case you were wondering ''wht is this woman doing?!'' xD

:S

That moment when you feel like sleeping for a few weeks...

Take care, guys!

So typical

Hey all!
Okay, I'm done with French, and I have a history exam tomorrow, and I just puked :S (sorry, TMI) Somehow it feels like I'm always sick around exams?!
*sigh* so people, if I don't show up for school you know why (the ''if'' because mom might still make me go... that would be typical - sending me to school no matter what)

---> trying to sleep ZZzzzZZzZZZZzzzZZ

//jz

110 notes...

Yup! I added 14 stupid words :P

Some more to come - wine-related (so French!)

Why does education have to be like this? Why can't we all just have microchips in our head, and whenever you want to learn something you just program it?
Creating one of these chips shall be the goal of my life!! (not really, just kidding - but it would be SO cool, thoug :D )

//jz

EDIT ( 3½ hours later):
 16 words added -> a total of 126 words !!! I'm in shock... there's also a paper with words related to movies and filmmaking, but I haven't even started on those yet :S
(actor, screenplay etc etc)

Back to the French!

So, now I'm studying.. In a way ;)

 

Spreading the love of TLK in French :D 

And some Rapunzel :

 

And finally some Pocahontas :

 

I just love listening to Disney songs in French - they all sound so beautiful ^^ (plus, knowing the English lyrics sorta helps, and the English subs in French versions help too :D )

NOW I'll seriously get back to the book :P (as if that's gonna happen, right? ;) )

 

WTYS

One of those moments in French...

... when it just sucks! I found some online exercises with passé composé and imperfait (aka past tense stuff) - and ALL of my answers were wrong -.-'''

Yes, I know the rules for using those things
No, I do not understand French
Yes, I feel like this exam is going to fail miserably
No, I do not intend to study for a while
Yes, I want to learn French
No, I really don't like studying this

Just a sample of the mental fight going on in my head... *sigh* just one of these moments . . .

OH, I also noticed that my part of a history project was missing from the document that's online atm... just great (Y) (note the sarcasm!)

I'm out!!

//jz

Turning away from the old...

... and creating a new look for le blog ☺
I know it's still winter and all (tons of snow and there's more coming all the time), and the current background picture is sort of fall-like and autumn-ish :P
Still I really really like it - it sort of captures the mood of this blog...
Out of something rather normal (blog/brach) comes out tons of different things (posts/leaves in all kinds of colours) ☺

Hopefully you guys don't mind the fact that I change the look of this every now and then :)

//jz ♥

2 weeks left...

... until I'll lose my hair :D

In other words; I'm cutting my hair in 2 weeks.... Yay!

Right now I look like a mop:

Aka not presentable at all! (plus I happen to be a very thin mop !!)













And I was hoping to go from mop to something like this:

I'll also get some stripes done, so my hair won't be as dark as it is atm :) (yes, I'm obsessed with being blonde - natural looking blonde, no bleached poofies here!)

(Btw, thanks to Vivian the crazy hobbit who introduced me to S.H.E, without her action I would have never come to know of this group ---> this person (= Ella Chen))

And for "prom" i was thinking of doing my hair like this (but with a fancier (or just plain one-colour) hairband-thingy :)














Yay yay I can't wait for the feeling of always having newly cut hair - one of the most amazing things in the world!!

WTYS (I'm in a very writing mood ☺)

French - c'est mon amour!

Salut mes amis!
I am back! (no, I haven't been studying all day long)
What have I done to pass my French exam on Monday?
- wrote some (TONS!) of vocabulary revising note-things
- listened to French music

YAY! :P

Some pictures of the notes :) (there are 96 pieces of paper currently stuck to my ceiling :P (and i decided to leave some words I already knew unwritten..... phew)

Colour coding:
Green = adjectives / random expressions
Yellow  = nouns
Blue = verbs

96 freaking papers....

Yes, that's my finger :P

 Gosh... I'll continue my studies tomorrow... just too non-motivated right now.... ZzzZzzZZzZZzzzZzZzzzz :P

//jz

P.S most of the words I left out were nouns ;) else the entire area above my bed would have been yellow xD

Ideas for ceramics - DIY

Hey everyone!
As you may, or may not, know I'm currently taking a course in ceramics at my school and time is almost up - there's still so much that I want to do!!!

For example;
- Pouch tea mug!

It's just too fancy and awesome!!! I have to make (atleast) one!!!!!














- a tea bag plate-thingy - just because I'm more or less addicted to tea and I have bags all over the place (not really, but it feels like that sometimes)

- a waffle weave bowl :)

Just because I think it looks cool ;)














- and OFC I need to make stuff that I can turn into earrings :P Just because that's me :)

Also, I need to finish a person I'm making atm (she's supposed to match a chair I've made earlier), paint both the person and the chair, add beads and stuff, paint the dog me and "Vivian - the exchange student" :P annnddd ofc paint all of the things I listed above..... I won't have time :P

And right now I should be studying French.... I'll make some vocabulary-notes ;)
Be back with you soon

"Prom"

Hey again (yess, managed to get on here today!)

As I sorta promised yesterday I'll do a bunch of posts about... stuff :)

This one will be - as the title says - about prom, or well, "prom" since it's not really prom, but then it sorta is...

The name of the thing is "Vanhojen tanssit" (or Wanhojen tanssit - you can Google it to find out just what it is, basically it's the Finnish type of prom.... kinda), and I am stressed out on the inside, but calm and cool on the outside ;)

Reasons for stressing:
1. I will cut my hair 9.2.2013 and the dance is on the 15th - nervous of what people will think :P
2. shoe problems; I have a pair of high heels with 3½" heels (= 9cm), and I can't really walk in them :S I'd much rather have a pair with about 2½ - 3" (aka about 6-7 cm)
     ---> I've found a pair of real dancing-shoes with a 3" heel but I'm worried if I can get them, also there are some fancy dance shoes that are super expensive, but so cool..... sigh, money - always an issue
     -------> my dress has been shortened for the 9 cm shoes, so I'm not sure if it's possible for me to buy ones with a lower heel :S
3. I'm afraid I won't remember the dances :O
4. No clue what to do about make up.... I'll do it myself, but I'm such a newbie :P

Things I don't need to worry about;
1. dress - I have the most lovely ahh perfect dress for me :D - pics will be up later ;) (it's red *hinthint*)
2. hairdo - since I'm cutting of my mop my hairdresser agreed on blow drying my hair all fancy ;) (she said she doesn't do fancy hairstyles with tons of stuff)
3. paying for the dinner or after party - I won't be going! I just feel it's a bit unnecessary to pay tons for a dinner (esp. when it's not the fanciest place in town and I can get food just as fancy for a price much lower) - and I've never liked parties, so byebye drunkenness @ after party ;) (not that everyone would be getting drunk, but still)

Solutions;
1. ask parents about shoes
2. YouTube some eye makeup ideas and try :D (I'll put pics here ;) )
3. MEMORIZE the freaking steps :P
 
This is what goes on in my head - and now I've just shared it with the world :P

WTYS (write to you soon)
