Kim, Kimmy, Kimma
Kim was perhaps my first real friend in Helsinki. I remember the first time I really talked to her was in a bus on our way to Otaniemi where we had a whole "Who is that?" moment with (insert name here). After that day, it was all good with Kim and I. Today's blog is dedicated to Kim -- one of the people who made my traineeship year rock.
I have found five quotes that describe what I know of Kim:
- "Love what you do. Do what you love." - Oh yeah, Kim does what her heart tells her to do and really chooses the kind of job or situation she is in. She does not compromise on what she wants career-wise. And rumor has it that she is good at what she does. :)
- "The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes." - What made me like Kim initially was because she was funny in a very smart kind of way (as in no gross jokes, just semi-sarcastic ones). Plus, she is also able to come up with funny plans like the great cook-off we once had with "The Jukka." I think I called everyone a loser once Kim and I became friends. Goes to show her, um, influence on me.
- "My friends are my estate." - Kim loves people. People love her. Well, that's no surprise since she really takes care of the relationships that matter to her. Kim is also like the "connector" that was described in The Tipping Point. She has a way of connecting people. She is like the human version of Friendster or LinkedIn. :)
- "Love without reason lasts the longest." - Enough said. See you in Finland. ;)
- "Too much money is as demoralizing as too little, and there's no such thing as exactly enough." - Because we met when we were poor and somehow we are still poor. She is richer though. One day, I will catch up. :)
Kim. Kimmy. Kimma. The worst typist in the world. The best buddy you can ask for.
P.S. Tomorrow, I take a break from people but write about a movie that made a difference in my life. Stay tuned! :)

Oh my god Berica - i totally do not deserve this.
This made me feel so special... and perhaps the best encouragement i needed to start a job application for Finland! (except for the typing bit - totally true!
Hugs babe :)
Hey Kim,
Of course you deserve it. Otherwise, I would not have done it. :)
Hugs to you as well!
