I’m glad I can write/share
something about Elämä Lapselle 2015
(or I just made it up shortly ELC) in Helsinki, Hartwall Arena on 16th of Sep. Ihana
ilta =)
It was a Lovely night for all at Hartwall Arena, I think.
Music is such an universal
language that gathers so diversive types of people to have some fun together
for a noble cause such as saving children’s life in general. This is why I
appreciate the most the fact that I participated to an annual charity event in
Finland. I’m sorry I didn’t buy anything because I’m just an EVS vapaaehtoinen,
but after this event I became more empathetic as well as the other people in
the concert, so we already had made the world a better place to be for no cost.
Also, during the concert I’ve noticed myself to be smiling more often, but still
it was a thought-provoking night showing a lot of pain and tears. It slightly
more confirmed my decision to work for children’s better health and education.
Another strange thing is that
I have been listening to the most famous Finnish pop stars for 3hrs for the
first time in my life. I meant, I have been listening to POP music ha-haa! I’m
kinda nicely surprised to say that I unconsciously enjoyed it. I like the first performance; Kasmir (that guy w/ the beard. He looks sooo Santa genuinely!)
and Sanni, maybe, very sweet girl; and I saw Jussi from The 69 Eyes!!! Yeah, a big deal, big deal ;)
In conclusion, I still quite don’t
understand the Finnish lyrics of the songs, but I get the meaning of the event
this way: it is about taking care of the children, taking responsibility
for healthier society members and showing sympathy and generosity.
But, Of
course the main part is the music! All the songs I heard can make you feel very
like dancing, bouncing, jumping, screaming “Isaaaac” / “Liiiip- stiiiiick”
la-la-la-laaa – aalaaa…. etc., make you believe life is such a fun, full of
happiness and fortune, and it is always
time for a crazy party. It was too happy for me he-he.
ELC in one sentence: I am
happy when other people are happy and healthy around me.
I can't translate it to myself literally, but she is so sweet. She is simply showing me that I know I did something meaningful by just being there with the all the kids/youngsters from Janakkala ;)

P.S. I cant
wait to visit some Finnish rock/metal festival.
That would be really great.
Loistavaa, loistavaa…
