writing outside


It's after midnight and I am ready to go to bed. Today my friend S came home. we went outside in the balcony and we lit candles and lanterns. It was very beautiful. Then we took our soft drinks and lots of water and we sat outside talking and talking. It's quite cool tonight. On Tuesday it will be hot again. we had such fun and talked about everything. She left 1 hour ago and then I started surfing on the net. my mum turns the adsl off when she goes to bed because she says that it's not good to have it on at night. She may be right. But I took my laptop outside and thanks god I got a free connection. So, mum thinks I am in bed, though I am out here saying hello to everyone. Actually, I'm saying goodnight.   ^_^

The time of my life

On Friday I had the time of my life. My cousin's friend would get married on Sunday and the girl friends would organize a bachelor's party. My cousin, whom I love very much, took me with her.

We went to GAZI in a bar called GAZAKI. There was a nice veranda on the top of it which was full of tables and a bar. All the girls had Margaritas but the barman made some juice for me because I was little. However, my cousin let me try some Margarita which is a very stong coctail full of tequila. I can't say I liked it very much.

The music was very different to the one I am used to, but it was very interesting and I like it. Although all the people were over 25 I didn't feel bad. I danced with the girls and we had such fun. I liked that I listened to something different and I went to a real bar in the centre of Athens. The place was crowded after 12:30. We left at 4:00 and we went for souvlaki. Most girls were drunk and wanted to eat and drink something before they get into their cars.

It was one of the most fantastic times in my life. Being with my cousin and so many grown up girls was awesome.

One of my favourite paintings


This is one of my favourite paintings. It was painted by Diego Velázquez in 1656. The painting is called Las Meninas, the spanish word for The Maids of Honour.

The painting shows a large room in the Madrid palace of King Philip IV of Spain, and presents several figures. ] Some look out of the canvas towards the viewer, while others interact among themselves. The young Infanta Margarita is surrounded by her entourage of maids of honour, chaperone, bodyguard, two dwarfs and a dog. Just behind them, Velázquez portrays himself working at a large canvas. Velázquez looks outwards, probably where the king and the queen stand. In the background there is a mirror that reflects the upper bodies of the king and queen.
what I like in this painting is that it looks as if you stand outside and you look at the scene. Take a look at the painter, the man leaving the room and the king and queen shown on the mirror.
 Isn't it different from other paintings?

What a day!

It's very hot today. I went shopping today. I went to AVENUE shopping mall and I bought a dress for a wedding. My friend M. couldn't come with me so I took my mum with me.  She complained all the time. She thought that I had to buy a long dress and I wanted a short one. I have wonderful legs mum!!!

Anyway we found something we both liked and here it is now in my room.  Now I have to buy some nice shoes. I want high heeled shoes but my mum shouts and complains. I'll see what I can do. I will try to go shopping with M. next time.
