I 'm back!!

My dear blogger friends I'm back =]

This boring 34-days-old vacation is finally over and I am home! It was exactly as I thought it would be, boring. I didn't nag like I do right now so no one realised how I felt!
Anyway, right now I am home and I am so happy!
I read 19 books in 18 days, I decided to start a new hobby and I took some nice photos which I will post right now. They are my favourite ones of this "summer break".

Oh! I will also go away for a little vacation with my best friend in the same island. We will go from Monday to Friday alone to relax all day on the beach, without our families, worries and all the other little things that bother the 18 years old!

I also wanted to thank all of you for your nice comments and your support.
I also want to give a big hug to Grammy Staffy for her wonderfull award!

And now, take a look at the photos, I hope you all like them =]

(this with the cat is my favourite one!)

(And this is a summer-morning smile )

Family..Well... MY family.

Many people say that you can choose your friends but not your family. I don't know if I would choose my family, if I could make a decision like that. I do love them but this is not stuff like "They drive me crazy".
It's that I can't live with them anymore. I am so repressed by all of them. I love them so much but I am not happy when I am around them.
I am so unhappy...
My mom and my dad mostly. And especially my mom. She is a good person, she doesn't care about grades, boyfriends etc, only for my health. But so many times she just makes me do so much housework or she yells at me for tiny mistakes (for example, if I bring her the wrong brand of ice cream she yells at me and tells me that I am stupid). Or some other times she screams that the dvd is over and when I don't listen to her because of the noise my sister makes, she is angry at me and says that she is all alone and I am not a person to rely on.
I just can't take it anymore.
And this is the reason that I don't want to go on vacation with anyone of them. I CANT. I wish I could go away from this house and move into another with a friend of mine as a roomate. The only reason I don't do that, is due to money. But I wish in two years I will be able to do that.
God, I just have to be so patient. I don't want to say anything to hurt her because those things can't be told to your mother.
And of course I know that many children and teenagers are being abused by their moms and I should say "Thank God I am not one of them and I should be thankful of that and not nag about that" But you know, it's not right. I should not live based on this belief. It's like taking the newspaper, reading about a murderer and then say "Aw, I am better than him, so I am a good person".
Ok, that's all I had to say about my "Mom issues". I have plenty of them but I can't do anything about it. The only solution is to leave.
Until then, patience.
Just patience.

School & Exams

The exams results came out yesterday and at first I was really sad to see that I didn't collect as much points as I needed to get into the school I wanted to study what I wanted. But when my friends and family told me that I would be away 4 years to study and other 7 years to teach to the city I live now, I said "Thank God I didn't make it!"

It might seem like a laaaame excuse to calm my sadness but it's not. I am not sad! And now I will go to another school and when I get a degree, I will be able to work to a day nursery. The only reason I prefered kindergarten than day nursery was because of the school schedule and the holidays. I loooove being with children of all ages so I am not sad for not achieving what I wanted three days ago with the difference of holidays.

I am just so glad to see that I found that school and I will know if they will accept me, in September. Until then, I will have a nice summer, beautiful holidays, pretty photos, great shopping days and generally a great time.

My News.

I created this post just to tell you my news and how I am doing.
Well, firstly I d like to tell you that I am having a nice time with my friends and I am being veeery lazy! I am not depressed, I am happy, I am glad, although sometimes I feel a bit repressed. Oh, and especially today I feel sooo nervous because tommorrow the results of my exams and I will know if I should apply for the school I want depended on the grade I've got (over 14).
So, just pray for me please!

Anyway, in 8 days we will be leaving for summer vacation in a beautiful but so boring island. I won't be able to go to any bar or mall or even be able to be with anyone of my friends. I don't want to go with my parents and my little sister there but I can't tell them that. They will be sad and they will surely say "No" if I would ask them to stay home, in Athens, because they want to be all together like a family. And it will be for a whole month.
I just love so much the city ♥

Anyway, tommorrow I will tell you all about the grades.

Wish me luck =)

Sex And The City

Sex and the City.
I watched the movie yesterday with a very good friend and it was nice. I rate it with 6.5/10.

It was funny and it showed many things about dates, relationships, serious break-ups and many other things about friendship and how important it is to have even one friend in your life who is there for you in happyness but in difficult periods, too.

And finally, after four years I found a best friend who I know will be there for me and she supports me and she will be truly sad if I go to another city to study what I want. And it is nice to know that you have a friend like that and not a "friend" just to go out with and hang out with. I ve known her for three years but we didn't have such a good friendship, I mean we didn't even say anything more than a "Good Morning".

Anyway, I am glad and happy now and I hope this friendship will last forever =)

A Day At The Mall With My 7 Year Old Sister.

Today it was the last day of school. For my sister and me.
When we returned from our schools at 11 , I straightened my hair, she put on her "Barbie" perfume (!) and we went to the mall. It was an hour distance with the train but when we arrived it was so nice.

The whole place was decorated with chinese dolls and many other stuff from chinese culture. It was amazing.

I took many photos with my phone, take a look.

(Here is my sister in the photo, wearing a flower that I bought her!)

(Here are two watermelons that were cut very beautifully by a talented chinese guy!)

Anyway, we had a wonderful time, we had lunch, shopped, walked around and laughed, ate waffles with chocolate ice cream but we didn't go to the cinema because there were none movies for kids.
And in the end we were so tired that we couldn't shop anymore or even walk! So we took a last photo together, outside the mall and took the road to home!

In Love (Complicated) Advice Needed

Well, to be honest, I have never been in a relationship. The first and only time I fell in love was when I was 15 and because I was scared of commitment I blew it up and he was hurt so bad...
After that, I never even got on a second date because all the guys I dated were either jerks or stupid or they just weren't what I was looking for.

Anyway, finally I found a guy that is so right for me and he is smart, nice, so kind, funny, sensitive and he for example doesn't have relationships just for being with someone.
Unfortunately he is already in a relationship with another girl. He is in my class and in seven days, it will be the last time I will see him. We have each others cell phone numbers but only for friendship. And what friendship! Only a goodmorning we say, not even another word.
And people have told me that before they met me they thought of me as a snob but then they totally thought the opposside, I mean when they got to know me better they told me that I am a kindhearted and sympathetic person. This happens because I am a bit shy...

I want to make a connotation to him so as to show him my feelings, the last day, but I don't want to be the "Third Person" or the reason they split up. Actually, I don't even know what to say to him and I am not sure that he likes me at all because of all this snob side they all think I have and they are scared of me. And it is a bit too late to show him my other side.I will see him again exactly 4 days.
I don't know what to do, and I know.... ok, don't laugh, but I think he is the one. Ok, again, this might sound soooo stupid but I know how I feel and I know me and I do believe that if he really looks and not just sees me, he will like me. Gosh, I don't know what to do...

I need some good advice pleaseeeeee.... :(


ps. Grandma B and Grammy Staffy I am sure you will hepl me as you have helped me in all those other issues. I am so lucky I found you :)

Final Exams II

FINALLY final exams are over! Yay, all studying and stress are away and I am so glad.
Ok, in some lessons I did good and in some I... well, I didnt.

Greek +
Biology +
Literature +
History +-
Ancient Greek +
Latins -

As you can see, I totally sucked in the last lesson. I am the worst student in that one! And history was so difficult. At least I did ok at the others (I think so). I will learn in 27 days. OMG I hope I will have collected at least 14.000 points. And of course I will know if I got into the school I want (Kindergarten with 14.400 points) in August.
May the Lord help me....

The possitive side is that I will never ever ever go to high school and I will take a huge step in my life. If this happens I will move out because the school is in another city and this might be a lot scary but it is nice scary, you know.

So, SCHOOL IS OVER FOREVER!!!!
I will not miss it. I will have some of my best friends from there and some good and funny memories but I am happy its over :D

Eurovision 2008.

The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual competition held among active member countries of theEuropean Broadcasting Union.

Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. Each country participates via one of their national EBU-member television stations, whose task it is to select a singer and a song to represent their country in the international competition.

The winner of Eurovision 2008 was Dima Bilan with the song: "Believe" (Russia).
The second place got Ani Lorak with the song " Shady Lady " (Ukraine)
The third place got Kalomira with the song "Secret Combination" (Greece)

In my opinion, the worst song that was in the competition was the Ukrainian one. Ani Lorak was so (sorry for the word) slutty.
Kalomoira was so cute and not a show off. I think she should have won the competition. And I am not saying that because I am Greek (the song we sent two years ago, suuuucked) but I really liked that song. And everyone is saying that Dima Bilan only won just because of the blog of countries which are near Russia.

Please watch at this video (not the whole video, just a part of it if you are bored) and tell me your opinion. I also gave the links to watch Russia's and Ukraine's songs.

Happy Birthday to me!

Final Exams.

Oh my God!
Exams are so close. Final ones. And the worst thing is that I can't concentrate.
Everyone is studying and I just can't collect my thoughts...
In five days.
I want so much to get in to that school and become a kindergarten teacher.
The bad thing is that this school is far away from where I live, a lot, and I will have to move etc..
But the first is to sit down and STUDY.
God help meeee...

Three Photos

My most favourite hobbie is taking photos.
I mean, I love photography.
So I am taking pictures of everything. My cats, my sister, nice places, nice objects.
Take a look at three of my favourite ones :)

Family Trip

We went on a little family trip this weekend (actually from Wednesday to Sunday) and we had like an amazing time! I didnt expect it. I thought it would be boring etc but it was so nice :)
I wish we could go again but school starts again and exams are coming closer and closer ( a bit scary...).
I think we are a nice family. I mean, we have our fights, our big fights, but we are ok. We always try to support each other and we are always together. This is the real purpose of the family, right?
Anyway, we went on this islant called "Aegina". We have a house there so we can go whenever we want :)
My 7 year old sister found a friend whom she had met during summer vacation. We went to the beach (not swim, too cold yet!), walks, shopping...

How was your weekend? :)

Marriage

Lately I 've been having some thoughts about marriage and stuff...
Not that I am getting married or something! I am not even in a relationship with someone!
All the married couples I know are non romantic (but they used to be when they were younger), they are having less fun than they used to, they are more realistic about their relationship and generally with their lives. They also fight a lot about anything.
I had heard once that marriage is the recipe for disaster when it comes to romantic even non romantic couples. They tend to fight like every once in a while and they are still together because of money problems or because they just want to be with someone so as not to die alone.
So I am afraid now that if I ever have a relationship that serious that will end up in a marriage, everything will go to he(ck) and it will be a disaster.

Is this reality or just too many coincidences?

Have you ever felt like that or is it just me?

Have you ever felt weird?
And by weird, I mean sad.
But a different sadness.
Actually I do mean something like that: You get up in the morning and somehow, out of the blue you think that even if you 'll have the perfect job in the future, the perfect family, the perfect life, the perfect perfect you will never be actually happy.
I grew up with the right values... Health above all and we 'll see what's next.
So, I don't know why I have these feelings.

Anyway, this morning, and the morning before that I felt like that.

The question now is, have you ever felt that way or is it just me?
