I was born on December 13th in the 20th century. It was winter but there wasn't any snow on the ground. My parents wanted to call me Pauliina or Ilona but at last I got my name(s) from the most famous virgin. My first and second names are variations from her name and my third name is same as she had. I was baptized a orthodox because my mother and her mother were Russian orthodoxes too. My mother and father were engaged these days and we lived in a terraced house. Soon we moved to a detached house which was located near my grandparents' house. My little brother was born close to three years after my birth. After his birth my parents were divorced but we kept on living normal life in the house we have bought. I went to kindercarten in the age of five and learned to read in the same age. I had lots of best friends and my father used to pick me up from the kindercarten after his workday. I went to a preschool and I was quite amazed because I was the only one who could read and I got frustrated so many times. In the elementary school I was good in all subjects. I had studied English in the kindercarten and I was very excited when we all started to study it in the third grade. I finished elementary school with excellent grades and I was given many few scholarships also. I wasn't very nervous when I went to junior high. All the three years I spent in that school I was the best student in our class. I loved music lessons, we had a very nice teacher who gave me scholarship after she retired. We also took part in many singing contest with a good results. I also liked English and gym. After junior high I sent a letter of application to a senior high which was a excellent chance for me to start riding horses seriously. I also thought going to a senior high for musicians or dancers but in the end I chose the riding school.

I have ridden horses from the age of six or seven. I started riding in a riding school nearby. My favorite horses were Vaakku & Kaian, who I used to take care of. Sometimes I took part in elder girls' riding lessons and I could do very difficult things. I developed quite fast, I guess. Few years ago that school closed it’s doors and I started to ride in a little farm which advert my mother noticed. As a riding school that place was okay, but after my skills grew and my dreams went bigger and I wanted to ride even better I had to move on. I rode in a quality riding school for two years, and after that I started to riding in the riding school which was the main partner of the senior high school I wanted to get in. I have taken part riding competitions few times with pretty good results. In the stable I ride nowadays my ultimate-favorite horses are called Iita and Aaram. Iita is a Finn horse who has competed pretty much in national show jumping competitions with our teachers and Aaram has gathered good results at dressage. I’d like to take part in few national competitions when I have more experience from racing. I haven’t found my species yet, but eventing fascinates me a lot.

I’ve always been interested in music. When I’m reading my journal entries which I’ve been written when I was eight years old I’ve named some metal music bands as my favorites. Nightwish has been my favorite from that day I heard about them. I loved their emphasis and power. Unfortunately Tarja left the band and I wasn’t very satisfied when Anette was chosen as their new vocalist. I adored Tarja’s classic voice. Once I was interested in glam rock too but I longed for row and hardness. I heard about Turmion Kätilöt (“Midwives of Destruction”) in the year 2004 and their first single Teurastaja (“A slaughterer”) enchanted me very much. These days Kätilöt is one of my ultimate favorites beside Ruoska and Tarot. My father was a friend of Marco Hietala, the vocalist of Tarot, when they were young, and my father’s band supported Tarot sometimes. My father played bass and guitar too, and their band got good results from a Finnish Championship Contest for Rock bands in one year. So I heard about Tarot from my father (I guess) and I’ve liked them since that time. One year I visited a rock festival and Ruoska was playing there. I fell in love with their emphasis and sound. I joined to Ruoska Puolue and I’m one of the heart-members of their street team. My other favourite bands are Shade Empire, Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Verjnuarmu, Amorphis, Ajattara, Teräsbetoni, Entwine and almost all Finnish metal music bands.

I've been attending piano lessons since the third grade. There were some years when I didn’t play at all, but nowadays I will. Actually I got my first synthesizer when I spent my first birthday. I don’t practice very often and sometimes I think how much better I would be if I had patience to practice. That’s same thing with my guitar. I’ve been playing for over two years but I haven’t developed hugely because I don’t practice. I really should! I’ve been interested in singing also, and I’ve taken part of many singing contests during my years in elementary- and junior high school in a group. I have never had that much courage that I could sing alone. I’ve been the leader soprano in our school choir from the last Fall. My singing voice isn’t very mediocre but nowadays I don’t afraid failures so much and I have the courage to sing my ass off. Music makes me also dance, I’ve danced few years, ‘few’ only because of the lack of dance teachers in my village. I’ve competed few times with my group and we got distinctions from our positive attitude.
