February is a month that I really like. And the last weekend of February is every year expected with anxiety to celebrate my birthday.
On the first week end I went to Riihimaki for second year in a row to the already traditional RYGAR party. A party organized by some friends of Tommi. This time the party had place in a Bowling (btw did you know that Finland was one of the first countries were Bowling was played ever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling). In my team was Tommi, a good Bowling player girl that I cannot remember her name, and me. We ended up in the second place of the tournament, in a exciting final shot. After the official RYGAR party we continued having fun in several local bars of the city.
During that weekend I stay over at Tommi’s place, and his family really kindly prepared a nice dinner and gave me a gift because of my upcoming birthday, I was not really expected it so It was a really nice surprise.
The next weekend was St Valentin’s day, and like my anniversary with Annukka is on the 16th we decided to celebrate that weekend. We spend the evening in city center. Unfortunately I did not make any reservation and all the nice restaurants were full, but luckily we got a place in Plevna a German style bar-restaurant.
In the last week of the month, David came to visit us from Germany. He arrived on Wednesday. That day he was a little bit tired cos of the trip, so we just had Sauna and dinner. On Friday Esa, Rodolfo and Elise came from Oulu. We spent the day in city center because even though they had already been here last year, the weather this time was quite better for hang around the city. On the evening we just went to play pool and save our energy for the next challenging day.
On the 28th I hold a party for my birthday. In the morning (afternoon) we went to DUO (the small shopping center of Hervanta) to buy every thing was needed for the party. The party officially started at 6pm, and Buffalo game also started. From 7 to 8pm we had sauna, and then we continue the party. A lot of people came, and I got a lot of gifts: Movies, Finnish books, sauna stuff, cups and a lot of nice and usefull things. THANK YOU EVERYBODY. The arty went really OK, but I fail to many time in the buffalo and therefore around midnight I needed to mennä nukumaan hehehehe. The day after with a slightly hang over we went again to citycenter to have luch. We ate a really greasy and hot (for Finns) Mexican Platter in Hook that healed my hang over.
