Going to Siros

Hi!

How y'all doing? I'm cool (one of the coolest kids on the block, as always :p)

After two weeks of productive developing, my 3rd week of vacations is beginning :p

I'm aboard the 'Nisos Mikonos' vessel, bound to the port of Hermoupolis, Siros! I'll be with Irine in Siros 'till Saturday and we'll stay at my cousin's hotel, the Aegean Star. I hope (and somehow know) we'll have a great time there!

That's all! Ta ta,

Almost retro battle

Hi!

How you doing?

Today when I returned to my house from work, I found that my mother had left her adorable white Cinquecento in the parking! Since the Cinquecento's name literally means "500", one could argue that the car is a 1991 interpretation of the classic Fiat 500. That's hardly true, but my mother hasn't bought (yet) the new Fiat 500. If she had it would be awesome :P

I took some photos of the cars in order to determine which is the most cute and sexy. Here they are:



The one is black and the other is white. Good vs. Evil and stuff :P

Vacations @ mouries.kilkis.gr

Hi!

How you doing? Didn't I tell in the previous post that I'll probably
spend the next week of my vacations at the house of a friend of mine
at the village of Mouries at the Kilkis province? Well, that's what I
did :p I was there from the 10th of August until today, the 16th. I
had a really great time there :D

Now I'm heading to thesaloniki to spend the weekend and I'll travel
back to Athens in the Sunday.

That's all! Ta ta,

Kim's wedding

Hi!

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

The summer has arrived and now it is almost gone :P As for my summer, I have one comment: I finally travelled abroad! (I mentioned that I'll go there in a previous post, but now I've returned from this trip)

My destination were the Netherlands and I was there from the 12th to the 18th of july. Details from this trip on a subsequent post.

A week after the trip was the wedding of my dear friend thanasis
(a.k.a. Kim bo). The wedding was at Mesini, a little town near
Kalamata (a city in the Southern end of rural Greece). I went there by car with 6 friends of mine. We were divided in two cars, 4 in a BMW X5 (which was also used to transfer the bride to the church) and 3 in a Mazda 2. We stayed there for 3 days.

It was fun and we had a great time! In the photo you can see the groom applauding his wife that is dancing for him (you can't see her in the photo). This photo was shot at the party after the wedding that was in a club next to the beach.

Now I've returned to work. My next leave is in the 11th of August till the 15th. I'll probably spend these days at my friend Stathis at a village named Mouries, which is in Kilkis, in the Northern end of rural Greece.

After that I have another leave in the beginning of September. I want to spend this 3rd week with Irene.

That's all!
Till next time.. Ta ta!

Netherlands here I come!

Hello!

How do you do? I'm truly fine! The summer has arrived and me and Irene got bored of the sun, the sea and all the things the famous greek summer consists of. So we decided to spend a week with my dear friends Dimitris and Xristos, who are doing their PhD at the TU Delft at the Netherlands. I hope we'll have a great time there!

By the way, I've never been abroad :P

Beach

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!

I'm gonna go swimming now, so ta ta :D

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!
