DAY 2. Picture of myself

I seem to be very slow with going through this 30 DAYS challenge, but here's the second part of it.

 

So, the second part of the challenge is about taking a picture of yourself and explaining what you've been up to this specific day. Actually, I haven't done a whole lot today. In the morning I finally started writing a letter - it's been like two weeks since I last wrote one. :o Then in the afternoon dad and I went to this graduation party of a family friend. I had a nice time there, as always. For the rest of the day I'm just going to, hopefully, finish the letter that I started and maybe watch a movie. So, just chilling, nothing major coming to me during this evening. 

As you noticed, this week I haven't done a mail post. The simple reason for it, is that I didn't receive anything, and I didn't send anything either. Maybe next week will be more busy when it comes to the mail. 

A Mail Week in May

Once again a week has passed - why does the time fly pass so quickly?

This week has been a normal week for me, nothing to special has happened. BUT the weather has been incredibly hot, way to hot for me. (: I have a tendency of getting sunburned, instead of tanned, which is annoying!

Getting to the mail part, I was able to send out only one letter this week, which is traveling to:
- Thilini, Sri Lanka

On the contrary, I also received only one letter from:
- Cristine, Austria  --> Thank you for the cute bag!

I did receive some lovely postcrossing cards as well: 

THE NETHERLANDS - who wouldn't love super cute penguins? 

BELGIUM

CZECH REPUBLIC

ENJOY THE WEEKEND!!

2nd mail week of May

Once again week has passed so quickly, which is kinda sad, tho it's nice to have a weekend again. Unfortunately, this week I have been a bit sick, so I'm hoping for the next week to be a bit better!

This week I received only one letter from:
- Joanne, Singapore

and also the postcard that my dad sent from Brazil arrived to its destination even though it took such a long time, about 2 months.

 

I did send out a few letters as well, they are traveling to: 

- Ilona, Latvia 

- Dora, Hungary 

- Emilia, Finland 

Last but not least, I wanna wish you all a great weekend!! :)

HCR

On May 10th I attended HCR=Helsinki City Run, which is basically a half marathon, 21 km. It's organized in the capital of Finland, like the name says. This year over 16,000 people attended the event.

Already last fall I decided to attend it, but the motivation went downhill ever since paying the attendance fee. My plan was to practice for it by cross-country skiing a lot during the winter, but it wasn't possible as we didn't get much snow.

My goal wasn't to be fast or to get a good time, I just wanted to get over the finish line! It was a good experience and I'm glad I decided to challenge myself.

Me after the finish line - feeling like a winner!

- Thilini, Sri Lanka

 

Thank you also for the postcard, Mari-Liis! :)

Sneak Peek

This would normally be a time for a mail post, but as I didn't send out anything, nor received something, there's nothing to show you guys. Like some of you may know, I spent the last few days in Poland with my friend. This is a sneak peak of my trip. :)
