Hi all!

How you doing? I'm fine :p

Today I'm at a fine beach near Koropi (at Agios Dimitrios), that's actualy near my workplace :p So, as you can probably understand, this will be my hot spot for this year's summer :D I'm also attaching a photo of the beach!

Hocico @ gagarin, athens

Hi :D

How y'all doing? Yesterday took place the live we've all been expecting for, by the very aggressive electro industrial group Hocico (which is, by the way pronounced othiko :p). It was fun. The other event that occured lately was my birthday at the 21st of March. I became 27 years old. :(

I'll try to post more photos of these 2 events later. New! 28/4/2008 you can find some photos from the live here :p

Well, till next time.. Ta ta!

Newsfeed

Hi!

How y'all doing? I'm fine, thanks for asking :p

Lately I've been thinking of climbing the corporate ladder :p I found this ladder quote in a book I'm currently reading, entitled 'The good guy'. It's a rather interesting book with lots of action, an interesting plot and finely carved characters. But let's not deviate too much from the ladder thing. So, I've made some rather decisive and firm steps towards the establishment of my status within the corporation. One of the most important steps to my ultimate goal is to maintain a happy attitude and always have a good intention for my actions. I know that this path of "virtue and pure intentions" isn't a popular method to climb the corporate ladder, but I beg to differ and
I somehow have the feeling that I'll succeed.

Other news include that I ordered my beloved MINI Cooper and that it's snowing in Athens. Here's a picture from the backyard :p

That's all! Ta ta :D

At thes for the new year!

Hi!

How y'all doin'? Happy holidays and the rest well known wishes, which I'm utterly bored to mention :p

This year, I'll be in thesaloniki for the new year's eve! Now that I mentioned thesaloniki (for, like, the bilionth time), I would also like to mention a fact about this city. Did you know that thesaloniki is, like, the co-capital of greece, along with athens? I don't know another country that has succumbed to the provincialism of a city, even one with an undeniably historical importance or whatever. If someone knows another country with a co-capital please tell it. :p

That's all. Till the new year,
Ta ta :D

Long time no see

Hey all!

How you doin'? It's been a long time since I last wrote on the blog. I
won't get into details, apologize or even try to analyze the reasons
behind this fact; I've done that before.

I'll just say hello and then resume reading my book; trace by patricia cornwell.

Till next time.. Ta ta :D

Memory leaks

Hi!

How you doing? I'm fine! After an awesome weekend at thesaloniki, I've returned to Athens with my batteries recharged and good to go for another week :p

Though, I'm constantly noticing that I keep forgetting things. I'm not forgetting important stuff though. What I do forget are small things. Things that make people angry :p

Well, that's all!

OctobeR @ the beach

Yo!

What's up? I'm doin' just fine here at the beach :p people say that this weather is too cold for swimming. Well, I think that is not entirely true :p The sea was great! Just a little to too much dirty :p I saw an actual shoe beside me while swimming!

That's all!

Yet another trip

Hi :D

How y'all doin'? I'm doin' just fine!

I'm going to thesaloniki :D Today in the train the driver started speaking english :p I've heard english once before in the train, but never again.. I sincerely hope that this time it'll become a habit to the drivers, or a requirement from OSE(the railway organization in greece) :p

The really bad thing that happened is that someone robbed my sweet xoupsou's house yesterday and stole many things :'( Poor thing.. Now I'll go to soothe her pain and make her feel good!

That's all from me! Till next time.. Ta ta :D

At the war museum

Hi!

How are you doing? I hope you're cool!

Today I passed in front of the war museum of Greece and I saw a sculpture that I think it is influenced by the abstract expressionism or impressionism or whatever and it is supposed to represent something about the fighters in Crete.

As a matter of fact this artifact was just an excuse for me to write another post, since I ain't got much to say :P

Also, Irene told me today that Eurobank has an advertisement where a guy calls his cat Houpsi. The creators of these adv probably stole this name from me and Irene! I demand intellectual property rights!

@ my workplace

Hi!

How you doing? I'm pretty good!

Summer has ended and those who have a job are returning to it.. Well, so did I! In the photo you can see my workstation, an old HP Evo D310. Bye :p

La Mirage Pansion @ Halkidiki

Hi!

How you doin'? I'm at the pansion La Mirage, which is near Athitos (a village at the Kasandra peninsula of Halkidiki) for the weekend.

It's very cool, as it is surrounded by a romantic garden and it's near a beautiful (but rocky) beach with crystal clear waters.

I'll return to Athens this Sunday, because I have to go to work at Monday!

See you,

MySpace

Hi!

How y'all doin'?

I'm fine! After watching this Southpark episode, I reluctantly decided to create a MySpace account. So here it is. :P

Also, as I mentioned in my previous post, I went for a short trip to Chania. It was great catching up with all my old friends and having a nice, carefree time ;D
In the photo you can see the gang of the Electronic and Computer Engineers just before our departure from Chania. :P

That's all :P

Postin' when bored

Hi!

How y'all been doin'? I'm cool :p

I'm returning from my more-or-less 10-day vacations in (where else would dilu go?) Thesaloniki :p

After returning home I'll leave, yet again, for a short trip (2 days,or 1.5 to be exact) to Chania with my old university pals!

So, today's lecture will be about my posting-on-weblog habits :p

Perhaps you, my oh-so-loyal and oh-so-many readers (a slight touch of irony), have noticed two facts, which will be mentioned and analyzed in the remainder of this text.

1. I rarely post.
2. The majority of my posts are being sent from my mobile (and, thus, this is where they have been composed) while I'm traveling.
3. The posts tend to be large and complex; thing that if we consider their source (my cell) and the fact that I'm not a native english speaker, usually takes a lot of time.

The reason for all of the above is that I mostly post when I'm bored :p

The third fact also comes from my inherent tendency to write pipes. I'm a pipologist :p Don't worry though; for the terms "pipes" and "pipology" will be investigated at a subsequent post!

Well, enough for today. See you another time! Ta ta :D

Vacations time!

Hi!

How are y'all doing? Are you enjoying the summer? I hope you do!

My vacations started at friday, when the company closed for the summer! It will be closed from the 6th of August 'till the 26th. That's a long time! My vacations technically started yesterday, for it was then that I left home to go to another place to spend some relaxing days there! I went to thesaloniki :p I don't know for how long I'll stay here. :p

Well, 'till next time.. Ta ta :D

On the road again

Hi!

What are y'all doin'? I hope you're fine and enjoyin' in the summertime when the weather's fine :p

I spent my weekend at thesaloniki and now I'm returning to athens for another week of very fulfilling, challenging and enjoyable, but hard, work.

Today I feel like talking about my vacations :p The company is gonna close from the 4th till the 26th of August. So, it seems reasonable that any plans for a vacation will have to be more or less during that period. Though I haven't made any plans at all :p I'll keep you posted when any solid plan comes up for "mon repaux" ;p

That's all for now! Ta ta :D

We're all living in America

Yo from starbucks @ kamara, thesaloniki :p

I'm here with irene and we're enjoying our coffees; an iced shaken
coffee for irene and a doubleshot iced shaken espresso for me!

After that we'll grab some authentic italian ice cream(r) from a
"gelateria" at navarinou street and later at night we'll go to listen
to quality nu metal at the X club in ladadika.

WoW :D and of course I'm posting my actions at my blog. Americanize :p
