guess what! i met a famous person (or should i say mouse?) couple of weeks ago. His name is Mickey Mouse and he’s from America. United States of America in fact. Like for example me, I’m from Netherlands. Or Sweden even. But right now i live in Kadriorg! This is kind of what happened to Mickey as well. He lives in Finland, most of the time, but sometimes visits Estonia as well. He is quite funny, he can do Moonwalk for example! It’s real fun, like going backwards!! So here i took a fotograf of me with Mickey. We are discussing my idea of Top 100 things to eat, but he was not much into acacia, hehe! I’m not surprised, actually!
In fact, i need to go and work on this list right now! so, let me know if there is anything you viagra like to ask Mickey when he comes around next time – in comments! Have fun and cu l8r!

because, u know – i think? it’s New Year again, this time it’s my friend’s the Dragons’, hehe! So in my neighborhood, Kadriorg, where I live, there was big New Year celebration festival yesterday. I did not have my camera, but today i went to meet the Dragon! it’s actually Water Dragon this year, so it is made of ice!! (unlike the tiger two years ago, which was made of snow) and it looks really really nice, especially in the evening, so i took a fotograf with it! apparently, it is quite cold this ice Dragon, so it’s the only fotograf that i have, i’m afraid. or maybe it’s the only fotograf, because many other people wanted to take fotografs as well.. either way, happy new chinese new year again and greetings to all my friends dragons ;) have u celebrated the new dragon’s year yet? let me know! have fun and cu l8r!

best news ever! my friend Jette Marii had 1 years birthday, jei! Therefore me and my friends Heidi (and Marju  maybe?) at kondiiter.ee made a gr8 fun giraffe cake for her!! It looks (looked – sorry, Teddies ate the last bits in no time when we were not looking..) very nice, don’t you think? and it tasted even better in fact! Don’t worry, it was not real giraffe, only cake. I think it was like a cheesecake, but better, with marzipan (!!) and also berries – my favorites! I can secretly tell u that i am still enjoying the taste right now!

It seems to me a really really good idea to have a birthday right at the start of the new year. So that new year starts with cake, for example! In fact, i need to go now and see if who’s birthday is coming next, hehe! Do you have a birthday coming, for example? Let me know!? Have fun and cu l8r!!

guess what! it’s a new year, 2012!! i’m sure this year will be even more fun than the previous ones. because, u know, finally the snow is here, in Kadriorg!! and this happened quite mysteriously, i might add, because it was suddenly all white just on Saturday morning – just like that! and i KNOW, this time the snow machines did not work..

so, once the snow was here, i was eager to test the new sledge that had mysteriously arrived in our home just around Christmas time. and i know it was not for me*, because we, giraffes don’t do sledging very much. well, until now that is!! because, apparently, sledging is lots of fun!!
so, here’s me checking out the seat belts and other things..

..before heading out in the WILD WILD SNOW, jei..!!!

apparently, there was more snow that had not arrived during the night. Instead, it was snowing on me while sledging, hehe. i could almost not see anything AT ALL!

luckily, i had help driving this new sledge, so it was OK. we did make a big round in Kadriorg, but i don’t have more fotografs, because we were little bit afraid of this wild snow getting into the camera – because it very much tried, i can tell u! so, needless to say, sledging is lots of fun, probably will be ranked quite high on my 100 most fun ideas to do (for a giraffe) list, once i have time to put it together. but it COULD take some time, because i am very busy, especially now that all this gr8 snow is here, jei! in fact, i have to go to a secret place right now. so, until then, let me know if you have already had snow and if u have been sledging or doing any other fun things with it! Have fun and cu l8r!

* disclaimer – this sledge is actually my friend’s, Pipi’s. But she is not using it ALL the time, so me Pipi and Sipsik made a deal that (reads): “Other people (or animals – very important!) can also use the sledge – for sledging purposes only – when Pipi, or Sipsik (or their friends) are not using it at the moment.” so, it means that even my friend Angel could use it. But he’s not much into exercising, so we’ll see..

guess what? it’s a new year, 2012 already!! so i just wanted to wish you a happy happy new year and also thank you for coming (to read this blog)! and best news ever – we got snow for New Years Eve!! so i took a fotograf to show you with a little wish on it! I tried to make an angry face to look like an angry bird on a tree, hehe!
And, since you are here, i wish you all the best and most fun year of all times, this new year!! Have fun and cu l8r!

guess what! i didn’t actually meet them. well, i did meet them afterwards, when they were out of oven, had their sugar-coating and i was taking fotografs. but i actually also made them myself, jei!
apparently i have to tell u that unlike last time – and – not to mention the last time before last time, i was not allowed to make so many xmas cookies this time. because, u know, i only mostly made giraffes. And, then Teddies eat all of them giraffes!! So this time Sipsik said – less giraffes – because we don’t need that kind of massacre here. Not before Christmas, anyway. But maybe she said so just because she could not find the giraffe-shape cookie cutter? well, apparently this remains a mystery as of now. So, instead, i made this one giraffe with a really really long neck, hehe! Check it out:

well, in fact i wanted to make a giraffe with even longer neck but apparently it does not fit in the oven!! (Although Teddies suggested some good ideas that we still need to research before we talk to Sipsik about it..). So instead, we made this strange fun animal with a gr8 fun name: animal-with-no-name. But it looks a bit like a dog to me, i’m afraid. The good fun thing about it is, that it’s mu first ever gingerbread cookie in 3D, jei!
me and my friend Lotte are currently working on an idea of a 3D giraffe ginger cookie, but as of right now, we have run into that oven problem once again. Really really annoying, if u ask me. Still, we will be working on it again tonight. Until then, let me know if you have made any 3D xmas cookies (or giraffes)? have fun and cu l8r!

guess what! a gr8 fun thing happened! in fact, when i was shopping with my friend Sipsik, we found THESE!!

as u can see, we bought them. this is for several reasons:
1) they are most fun to walk with, even my friend Leenu says they are nice and fun
2) they are quite warm, especially when walking on the stone floor or outside, like for example balcony
3) they have the shape of my friend Shaun the Sheep. As we found out, they actually have the shape of Shaun’s friend Timmy, but he is even more fun in fact, jei!
4) other things

like for example, at first, we bought them to my friend Undu to go sheeping. they go very well with his sheep costume. but then again, no-one, even the sheep would believe that he is sheep with his sheep-shoes on, so maybe it doesn’t work really well? so instead, i thought of something else i could use them. Although, as u can see, Undu is very much into these sheep-shoes too:

so, this other thing that these shoes are really really good is for Christmas! in fact, these shoes can very well replace the Christmas sock that i have, which has served me quite well. But the bad news is that i don’t have any place to hang this Christmas sock from. So, instead, i could really use this Christmas Shoe (Sheep) instead:

as u can see, i have put the Christmas sock inside it. apparently, this was for testing purposes only and actually u don’t need that. The shoe is quite enough!! Like for example, Santa’s little helpers bought me my favorite oatmeal cookies inside the Sheep-shoe and no sock was present. So it seems to work alright!! gr8 news in fact!
so, as a matter of fact, i need to go and set it up for tomorrow. Until then, let me know if u have set up your Christmas Sock (Shoe) and if so, what have you already got from Santa? let me know in comments!! Have fun and cu l8r!!

just wanted to quickly post one fotograf here, as i am really really busy right now with this thing called Christmas, u know!! apparently, it is much longer than i thought and involves also other things than christmas cookies (my favorites). for example, christmas calendars, like this one here. it is actually quite fun, because u never know what u can find behind the doors, hehe.. so far i have found chocolates with different shapes, but we’ll see. in fact, i have to go and see what is behind number 6 right now..!
but let me know if u follow any christmas calendars and what u have found so far? have fun and cu l8r!

guess what! last weekend i was doing my regular things (not a secret), i was invited to a party (not a secret). because it was dark outside, i don’t have gr8 fotografs of the party, but i took some secretly when i found this home-made ball pool (a secret):

ball pools are actually gr8 fun, if u ask me. the good thing about them, is that you never run out of balls (normally). except this one time when my friend Muzzy was playing in a ball pool, there were no balls left in the pool in the end, hehe! but i have never seen a ball pool at home, usually they are in shopping malls or something like that. so, i can’t tell u very much about it, because it is a secret. guess why – because animals (read: giraffes) were not allowed in the ball pool!! although i have to disagree with that (disagree is when you don’t agree with something, my friend Leenu says). so, as i can’t tell u more about it, i will go and play hide-and-seek with Angel. but you can let me know if you have played in the ball pools and what u like best about them, ok? have fun and cu l8r!
