Book Review: Nature in Finland 2010 - Tarmo Lampinen

I order this book last month, sometime near my birthday.. 

From this website --> http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1989035

How did i ended knowing this book?

• Tarmo Lampinen is an awesome friend, a super kinerd, Kina's "adopted" brother, and of course an awesome photographer.. He tweeted some of his photos, and also post it on fb.. Those were really interesting.. He also had a website, which i forgot the link (note to my self: ask him!), contained more than 100 pictures, of birds, mushrooms, plants, and scenery..

How did i ended buying this book?

• The money from this book's sale will go to his trip to Kinacon (in LA! And I also wanted to go!! But, i guess, i'll go next year!).. oh.. I also had some extra money at that time.. I know the book will be fun.. And Tarmo will definitely enjoy meeting his adopted family, and other Kinerds :)
• I actually thinking of giving this to my sister.. But, after I had it, I know there is an oldddd friend of mine, who will love it more than my sister.. He's been nice to me, i guess it's time to send him something :)

The story behind it's arrival..

I was waiting for Kina's stairwell package.. (order here: www.kinagrannis.com) If you haven't order, you should! It's super lovely, I had id replayed several times already!

Back to the story, I got a notice from post office yesterday, and i thought wooww.. stairwells finally here!! Then I remember my friend sent me something from Mexico.. So I was expecting either one of this.. excited.. yay.. I rush to the post office, lined up, and face the lady there.. She saw my card, and say "well, didn't you see the word here .. AVAILABLE TOMORROW.. so come back tomorrow, at this time".

Sighhh.. >_<

Then the next day, got a class till 13:00.. Had lunch, and I rush back to the post office..

The item finally on my hand.. I saw the sender.. US, Blurb.. Hmm I thought it should be from Kina..

What's this.. I completely forgot about this book..

I found a seat, and open the package.. the package was really big.. like around 30 cm x 40 cm!

And.. it was this cute little book :)

A bit shocking, but lovely!!

On my way back to bus, I open it.. Page by page.. reading the words, seeing the pictures.. lovely!

I chuckle a bit.. Tarmo is quite good in writing the description.. Hmm.. I wonder if people on that bus thought I'm crazy :p

Oh.. and the last page was very surprising.. A bit different from his usual style.. Curious? Buy it! LOL.. Hint: it was a photo of his friend, lovely girl, from california :)

 

 

Going to send this book to Indonesia as soon as my friend reply me with his mail address.. :)

But.. How if i send this book, and my friend ask me to buy tickets for him to go to Finland? Noooo..

Can't wait till June...

Why??

1. I'll have a trip to Europe!! <3 I hope I could made some good videos.. and have fun with my family :) Also I secretly hope that I could meet some kinerds and do ST-ing..
2. Planning a graduation trip to Macau.. If it failed, probably will ask my sister to go with me to Taiwan/Manila/Bangkok :)
3. David Choi's show in Singapore.. Before my Euro trip!!

5. SCP : Sweet Candies Projects.. I wiiiiished i could go to kinacon :( Kinerds are awesome, and i do enjoy talking to them!

I felt so bad for ignoring my own blog..
These days, i am filled with lots of hecticness with school project, and it does stressed me out..
Thanks God.. for music..
It helps!
Favourite song that i played a lot (and sing along) is You can win- David Choi, In your arms - Kina Grannis ~~ I love them both..! and also been listening to lots of Hillsongs music :D
I've also starting to be active in the Kinerds forum, shoutbox, and tinychat.. Kinerds were all lovely!
But.. i felt bad.. i'm not good at music.. =[ while they are so very very talented..

Kina is so lovely.. And she deserve those love from kinerds..

Kina Grannis - A humble, lovely singer

Kina Grannis is a girl with a lovely voice, face, and great songs!! She won some contest ( like Doritos Crash the Super Bowl, and the recent one Sirius XM’s 2010) which proves that she really is good..

I came to know her (know = youtube + twitter stalking) at first is because of David Choi and her collaboration in the song My Time with You.. I love the melodies, and lyrics, and even their humming part.. I just simply love it as a whole!

I had to admit, her voice and her simple acts was enough to capture my ear's heart (if ear ever has heart)..

Check out the video that captures me down here!

Yap.. Since then (2 months ago?) I started stalking following her twitter, and found out that she reply most of the tweets she got.. And that she does have (or at least tried to make) a personal interaction with her fans  (kinerds, kination, and even she replied me and my friend!)..

She was previously unsigned, and released some self-released albums such as: Sincerely, Me ;  One More In the Attic ; In Memory of the Singing Bridge ; and the latest one, Stairwells..

I'm not really sure, but I think now she's signed by an independent label, and working on re-launching of Stairwells with additional songs..

What I like about her is that even the Kinerds do have a good friendship with each others, even with Kina and her family. Her shows, like the most recent one in El Rey is a very warm-communicative concert, where she manage to meet-and-greet the fans/supporters afterwards. Kina's sisters also appears alot at her videos, singing with her. Simple, warm, attractive. I would say those three words explain Kina's style..

Oh, one of my most favourite song is VALENTINE.. You can get it for free from Kina, at the link here.

(see, she's that nice!)

Do support her by buying her albums (although Stairwells are currently sold out now), itunes are still a good way to support her http://itunes.com/kinagrannis!

Here is Valentine - Kina Grannis

Kina rocks!!



UPDATE:

During one of her QA twitter session, I asked her of going to Indonesia.. As you probably knew, David Choi is having a show to Singapore and Indonesia this June.. I was wondering how awesome it is to have both of them going here for a concert.. Here's what Kina replied..
