the rollercoaster ride- belle and sebastian

Hello there! This time I can properly say I am a student, living an amazing student life. I'm successfully living on my own, for almost a month and it is pretty exciting, I must say. Started cooking, going to classes, redecorating the place and puzzling with the cupboards. Made a great bunch of friends, went to great places and parties. I am now applying for some sewing/sketching classes and exploring cool cafes and tea salons! Got a great pile of books to study for my literature classes and a lot to organize...Life has never been cooler!

P.S to my dearest Anonymous reader: I sincerely thank you, for spending your time reading and commenting on my blog!

trick or treat?

TRICK OR TREAT? hello hello! Hope you had a great time on Halloween last Monday! My bff Daphne hosted the most amazing Halloween Party ever! We didn't actually dress up but we did scary makeup. We made mummy hot dogs and pizza and drunk Halloween fruit punch, all so so lovely and yummy. Alex and Daphne also made cupcakes, the pumpkin face ones where nade by Daphne and the Jack the Ripper's were made by Alex! Watched the movie Halloween (1978) and fell asleep on the couch. Didn't play all the great games we had organized like Bloody Mary or the ones with the apples in the tub but still it was so great. We also had caramel apples! Definitely one of the most crazy Halloween parties! Congrats to Daphne for all this hard work (seriously, she has been organizing this gathering for almost two weeks!) and for the great great decorations! Ghosts where lingering from tree branches and little pumpkin faced lights where hanging on the mirror, not to mention the bats on the walls!
Let me know how was your Halloween night!
Kisses to you all

I'll be yours until the poets run out of rhymes

go to the movies with your best friend

I couldn't possibly be loving more this fresh start in my life. New people, new home, new experiences. The ones that want to hurt me are no longer wanted in my life and I am thrilled that I got rid of them. And just so you know, people can hurt you, only if you let them. You can always always make changes in your life, whether they are big or small. Especially when they are for your own good and peace of mind. Farewell mean people, I wish you a lovely autumn day, giving you a chance to warm your cold and mean heart with a cup of tea. You can no longer affect me.

and I wish I'd seen you in the bakery

I wasn't really sure how I would begin this post. It has been such a long time (almost a month) and I missed this whole thing so badly! So, here I am again, posting about my new life and stuff. Hope you're still here, dear readers.

My days in the new city are lovely. Met new people, made good friends and had great classes! Of course there are stuff I miss back home but in general everything is pretty cool.

I really love this time of year. It is cold enough to wear your lovely tights, cardigans and woolen jumpers but not cold enough to get lost inside the big fat coats. I love this time of year especially because you can have lovely cinnamon tea and silly chitchats at cafes, play scrabble till morning, tuck yourself under the warm blankets and bake apple muffins.
My bff has planned an amazing Halloween party and I really can't deal with my excitement! I was hoping I could make a boo-tiful ghost cake but I left all my things at home, argh! It will be LEGENDARY and I know it!

Thing is that when you live on your own you actually have to deal with certain stuff that you never considered , like opening a jar of jam or doing the damn dishes all the time. I personally, needed help to open a jar. Fantastic. And still, weird noises at night totally creep me out. It's like horror movie night, every day. I should probably get a night light like a seven year old. But then, there are the good parts like you can paint the kitchen pink or even choose your own detergent for the washing machine! You spend your money the way you want (that meaning that you can actually starve for a few days, so that you can buy that amazing ballerina glitter skirt.). I also discovered a great site for students, where you can find easy and cheap recipes for 1 instead of 8 people! I will be cooking a lot since I think its healthier and cheaper than junk food. Some days i eat cookies and leftover morning coffee for lunch, feeling really cool and loose! 

last day of summer

Today, was a cold day. I can feel the summer ending, my feet getting cold. I didn't really know what to wear on my way to the city. I felt confused. This is the last day of summer. My house is ready but I don't feel excited. I don't really feel like moving out, like losing all my best people. But it is a fresh start after all. And I have always loved fresh starts!

the last day of summer-the cure

It seems that some Anonymous has made a big entrance in the blog world. I recently got a hate mail in Greek. I 've seen other hate mails on fellow bloggers' blogs but never thought I could get one too. This anonymous person, is actually really bothered with anyone who has got a blog and a personality and claims that my sweets and baked goods are not edible (or good enough for his or her taste, Julia Child of the internet)! Well, I really don't have a problem with his or her opinion. I believe that once you expose yourself and your lifestyle on the internet you have to accept the feedback either it is nice or mean. So, dear anonymous, thank you for your comment and for spending some of your personal time reading and commenting. I am not mad but actually grateful. I've learned to receive others' opinion and thoughts. Oh and I hope that some time I can treat you to some cookies and tea, so that you have actually tried something that I baked. Thanks again!

you're messing with a dreamer

too young-phoenix

Well, I really couldn't be happier cause I got my dream house. As many of you might now, I am officially now a student and I will be moving out my parents' house. The weeks are going by really fast and I have more and more things to do. Nothing is ready yet, I have to paint the whole house and move all my furniture. I know its going to be crazy but I am really excited about everything.
I'm really not sure how I am going to give up my lovely bedroom. (but I'm taking those lights with me!)

I was saving this particular picture for the end! This, my dear people, is the view from my new home! The building where my new apartment is, is in front of the sea!
So, i baked an apple tart, ate a whole pot of Ben&Jerry's cookie dough ice cream, had mexican dinner,went to a lovely french cafe,drunk special cocoa,spent time in a bookstore... blah blah blah
The most important thing is that this week I'll start packing my stuff, books, clothes etc and on Thursday I am off to Volos.
Also, I am renovating the kitchen as well in my new place and I think I should paint it in a light pink, a baby pink color! A pink kitchen, lovely isn't it?
