Let me sleep I don't wanna draw...

 I made this in art class today. Using only one mechanical pencil and half asleep. So for me it is quite an achievement since I'm not good in drawing anyways. The frame was given to me... I was inspired I guess. I'm not even sure what the drawing means. Maybe it's a message from god. or satan. or chuck norris. 

remember remember remember

sunday night. math and french exams tomorrow...
I started listening to some greek rap songs that my friends and I used to listen to in 5th grade.
The lyrics are very powerful and deep. It made me want to write about it.
About the past and how it has evolved.
About Greece and how the politicians have stained the pages of our glorious history with their greed for money.

I have so many things to say but when it comes to writing, I don't know what to write.
They come as pictures in my mind. Pictures and every picture is a different memory. Every picture provokes a different emotion. Boom.. Poof.. Blooom! And in the end.. it's all those colors.
Memories function is a peculiar manner. I keep only the good ones, those that made me happy.
However, if I recall them and compare them to reality they only make me sad.

So, as my thoughts about what I write develop as I write, my mood and opinions change as I write.
I will not compare anything to anything.
I will just look forward to going to the roller coasters after the exams.  

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear

The next two pages of my scrapbook, -it's nothing special but I'm very proud of it.

It was raining today

I have added some details in the cover page of my scrapbook. I have also come up with ideas for the next pages but I couldn't do anything today because I was waiting for the glitter to dry.

I feel bad because I haven't paid much attention to my blog recently.. and I promise will make up for it!
After some encouragement from a friend I have decided to finally write a story I've wanted to write for a long time. And of course I will post it here :)
And here's the challenge: I have to somehow mention dragons in it ^.^



Oh well, exams start tomorrow
so I will be busy for a while :)

And then summer vacations for the win!!!

My attempt to start a scrapbook

So i decided to engage in the hobby of scrap-booking. It seems like fun. The thing is, I'm still not sure what it really means. My friend told me I'm supposed to put pictures together and decorate it with stickers and different textures. I hope that qualifies for a cover page, though I'm not finished with it yet. I'll add a gothic black pattern on the edges and use some glitter on the pictures.


ohh oops! I've given away my name >.<

Someone I admire

     There is a person I have met this year that I really admire. She is someone that no one would notice or pay attention to. The reason I admire her is not because she has done anything great in her life nor because she has fought for this world to become a better place. However, life has put her in difficult situations and she has always remained strong and determined. By her devotion she becomes an example that could inspire others; in that manner, she does contribute to the world.
     In fact, I do not know that woman very well. All I know is that she is a girl from a poor family from Shri Lanka. She migrated in the countryside of Greece seeking a better life and quickly, all by herself, learned the language, the customs and the cuisine of our country. She found jobs and made money on her own; she was even updated on the politics.
    Unfortunately, from a relationship -for which I don't know any details- she ended up with a baby while her partner left her. Her baby boy has a mental problem. He is now 3 years old and still looks and acts like a 1 year old. Because in Greece there is no institution to take care of children with that particular issue, she has moved in Belgium with her son.
   Everyday, from morning until night, she takes her son with her and cleans houses for money. She comes to our house every friday. I see her place the baby on the sofa, make sure he is comfy and distracted with music or toys and she starts working. She works very hard.
    However that is not why I admire her so much. I admire her for her devotion to her son. She is dedicating all her time and energy to her baby, which makes her life particularly hard, and she never complains about it. It is very touching to see her playing with him, trying to make him smile and wave "hii". Today as they were leaving she asked him to say "bye" but he wouldn't understand. "He will say it, but later," she made a humorous remark, "It's like the internet, sometimes it takes more time." I was quite surprised at how positively she took everything.
    Soon he will a get special device for his legs so that he can finally walk but my mother said that he wont live very long because he isn't growing. His mother said she will not stop caring for him as long as he lives. Every time I see her she is smiling.
