just came back from university. i drank cereal coffee with soymilk and ate some nuts with dried fruits for energy.

yesterday i went to book store to find a birthday gift for my god daughter and among all children's books i found the above book with illustrations by Katja Tukiainen. i already have some of her books so it will be perfect for my collection. besides children's finnish is my level of finnish.

i used to have a plan. it didn't work out. the back-up plan wasn't as nice as the real plan. i'm stucked in the back-up plan and not sure what to do. if i plan and it doesn't work out i will be disappointed again. these days i think and rethink too many things.

my today's lunch.
ginger-apple-carrot soup.
so simple to make, so delicious to eat.

the post was inspired by lolo's tutorial on food photography. i have still loads to learn but it was fun playing (my soup almost got cold).

today i gave up and stopped pretending that it is still summer. i wore proper jacket, scarf, hat and mittens. i still felt chilly while biking to the university though.

things i like about autumn:
- fog in the morning
- freshness in the air
- blue sky (i don't experience it in finland though)
- apples and carrots
- mittens
- thick tights and skirts

the above picture is taken by my brother. he is turning 30 years old today. until i was 15 i shared the same room with him and my sister. we fought quite a lot and couldn't find a common language. luckly we grew up and realized how neat it is to have sibilings.

i think he takes amazing pictures. you can see them here
