A sakura dream.
I just started tearing while browsing these photos from last spring in Japan.
How can I have experienced something so beautiful and not cherish it in my heart everyday like a wonderful gift that it truly is?
Busy business life is like a cruel curse taking me to the doorstep of various heavens just to peek from the window for 5 seconds before it pulls me by the wrist again.

I'm so happy how this hip hop inspired look turned

I'm so happy how this hip hop inspired look turned out that it deserves its own post.
A basic white top combined with my age old cargo pants and a hat that I've been wearing for casual masc looks for years. All this combined with my camel colored Fernando Berlin biker boots.
Excluding the hat, on paper this sounds more metal than hip hop - hell, it could even risk being close to styles favored by modern day fascists, an association I would never go after.
However, the confidence I have in my taste gave me the courage to tread this path. What makes all the difference in the world is the rounded colors. The worn shade of green in the pants and the camel color (like cognac but more intense in yellow) of the boots make the bottom of the look very earthly.
The cargo pants are massive. What I've done here is tie the ribbing of the ankle just below my knee and folded the extra fabric down. Even so the pants went down halfway to my calf having that extra airy and baggy feel while doing justice to the boots that go up below the knee under the fabric.
Topping the look with some bling and a hat gave it the required hip hop flavor. But despite my love of attire I'm gonna argue that 90% of this style is in the body language; a strong but bouncy posture and a flow of movement no matter if I'm walking or dancing.
To me it's the same thing as adjusting my body language between feminine and masculine. To wear a look is to act like it.
All in all I'm super happy how authentically me this look is despite the fact that I composed it for a theme outside my regular repertoire. I just might make it one of my go-to styles!

What an evening we had on Saturday!❤️
Expa Game Business Cooperative participated Glog Gala by the Junior Chamber International Jyväskylä. The event was full of ambitious vision, valuable networks and entrepreneurial peer support. 💪
As chairperson I gave greetings on Expa's behalf and opportunities in game business, game technologies and gamification were warmly welcomed by the Chamber network! 🎮
Over an excellent three course dinner at Restaurant Verso's cabinet so many stories were shared and excellent people were celebrated for their achievements. 🍾
And finally we partied hard and I photobombed as a queen should! 👑
There's so much that we can do together. We at Expa are so happy and excited for reinvigorating this valuable partnership!🚀
Many thanks for the amazing event! We're already looking forward to next year!

Hyvää, kiitollista ja kiihkotonta itsenäisyyspäivää.
Tulevaisuustutkimuksessa ihmisen suhdetta muuttuvaan maailmaan kuvataan usein jaolla johon kuuluvat vääjäämättömät kehitykset (joille yksilön on vaikea tai mahdoton voida mitään) ja vaikutettavissa olevat kehitykset.
Historiamme kaikessa verisyydessään ja epäoikeudenmukaisuudessaan on tosiasia jonka olemassaolo pitää hyväksyä sellaisenaan. Mihin taas voimme vaikuttaa, on se millaisen suhteen siihen tänään luomme.
Olen kiitollinen itsenäisestä Suomesta tässä ajassa, sillä se on paikka jossa olen saanut kasvaa, kouluttautua ja oppia havainnoimaan maailmaa ja sen ilmiöitä melkoisen vapaana. Se on ollut minulle riittävän turvallinen ympäristö kehittyä omaksi itsekseni.
Itsenäinen Suomi on myös minun pelikenttäni ja rajapinta jonka kautta pyrin maailmaa muuttamaan (se Suomi mukaan lukien). Olen myös suomalaisen yhteiskunnan vientituote; kuin viesti maailmalle että mm. tällaisia tyyppejä tällaisesta yhteiskunnasta tulee.
Samalla kun olen kiitollinen, olen kiihkoton. En halua romantisoida sotaa tai tehdä minkäänlaista pesäeroa toisiin kansoihin tai kanssaihmisiin. Päinvastoin - haluan ottaa opiksi historiamme kauheuksista ja rakentaa parempaa huomista yhdessä.
Nämä asenteet ja ajatukset olen saanut punnita ja omaksua kaikessa rauhassa vuosien saatossa suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa. Maailman mittakaavassa se tuntuu etuoikeudelta ja haluan tehdä parhaani jotta tulevaisuudessa mahdollisimman monella täällä sekä muualla olisi halutessaan mahdollisuus samaan.

Let's kick off the week with a new intro. This is

Let's kick off the week with a new intro. This is from the MatchXR Sustainable Gaming panel on Nov 19.
Driving social change with the help of games is a powerful strategy because
- there are over 3 billion gamers in this world
- on average games are played some 20 minutes a day (US)
- games are played by all age groups and genders
- games are not a passive media but one where the player can make active choices and see their consequences
- as a business, games are bigger than movies and music combined.
We at Psyon Games believe this makes for a great platform to educate people and even save lives. So wether we're talking health behaviors, environmental awareness or something else, games have great potential that remains largely untapped so far.

Keskiviikkona minulla oli etuoikeus avata ajatus-

Keskiviikkona minulla oli etuoikeus avata ajatus- ja tunnehanat yleisön edessä Keski-Suomen tulevaisuusfoorumilla Siltasasalissa Jyväskylässä.
Teema oli "monimuotoisuus menestyksen avaimena".
Maailma on täynnä erilaisia narratiiveja jotka ohjaavat meitä. Suhteemme ihmisten ja luonnon monimuotoisuuteen on yksi keskeinen jakolinja; nähdäänkö erilaisuutemme mahdollisuutena vai uhkana.
Vaikka vastakkainasettelusta elävät populistit väittäisivät muuta, tutkimus kertoo meille että luonnon monimuotoisuus ei vain lisää resilienssiämme, vaan on meille elinehto. Vastaavasti ihmisten monimuotoisuus on tuottanut historiassa vauraimmat yhteiskunnat ja menestyvimmät yritykset.
Tieteellisen tiedon on oltava se ajattelun ankkuri jonka pystymme ottamaan maailmankuvamme kivijalaksi yli puoluerajojen ja somekuplien. Meidän on ymmärrettävä paikkamme avaruudessa, ajassa ja planeettamme historiassa, jotta osaamme toimia oikein näinä kriittisinä aikoina.
Meidän on kyettävä suodattamaan tosiasiat aikamme infotulvasta ja oltava itse valmiita muuttumaan uuden tiedon valossa.
Kiitos järjestäjille upeasta tilaisuudesta ja kanssapuhujille arvokkaista ja herättelevistä puheenvuoroista.
