Half-finished room

It's 00:41 and I have been having my birthday for the last 41 minutes :))
My mood is better I think. Who's responsible? I don't know. Could it be birthday? Could it be the fact that I am leaving in 5 days to visit my sister in Netherlands? Who knows?! It could also be the fact that I have a semi-finished room and that I already started dying my sister's old room. The colour will probably be a bright green. I call it: the toothpaste green! We also have matching curtain and light. I will show it to you as soon as it is finished or at least semi-finished.

And these are some pictures I took of my new room at night with only a small source of light. On the ceiling a part of my drawing is obvious. I haven't still decided the complete shape and colours but it is definitely going to look like a rainbow :). Also, you can see my favourite band's poster: Pink Floyd.And here is half of my sister's curtain. She used to have two pieces of curtain, an orange one and a toothpaste-green one. Sorry angie, I had to split them!!! :D

I will come up with more soon.

Sleep well

People say I should sleep more. My eyes look tired every morning. I have difficulties in going to bed, because I want to do as many as possible during the day and probably subconsciously I can not accept that the day is gone and I try to keep it alive. Today I thought that I should not be afraid of the End of the Day - instead I should celebrate the beautiful day I had. So, for today's celebration I chose these pictures from my Sunday 15th of November..


There are pure pictures, no photoshop at all! Not that they look perfect, but they show the colours of Amsterdam. It's a really colorful city, full of pubs bars, small shops, junk food, funky people..


A warm and tasteful coffeeshop. One of my favourite pictures today!


A temple in the Chinatown in the Middle of Amsterdam.

A canal.I like the surface of water. It looks really like the moment I saw it.

Netherlands and Me

A beautiful Friday morning with my father wandering in the Canals and the Jordaan Neighbourhood, Amsterdam...




I want to keep this Friday.. and save it in a nice clean place, next tomy other favourite days in my life. The following video is dedicating to my beloved Konna. It was originally made for her.



A day from home to University in Eindhoven. My Neighbourhood. Something really bad happened to my neighbourhood today. I saw ambulances and police cars and a red-stripped ribbon hanged on the trees. That might mean 'area under investigation'. I don't know anything else. I hope no one is hurt.


and me one of the first days to University. Look what I choose to wear! Everybody would think of me as a weirdo fashionista!

cOLOURS, CoLOurS, ColOURS!

Υeah!
After two whole years of meditation and wondering processes I ended up findind the colours for my room! I have been dying my room for 4 days, although it is the smallest room of the house. Whether this is a result of my lack of technique or normal I cannot tell. But I can certainly tell you the winning colour:


the colour of the little pot accompanied by the same colour in a brighter tone :)
I call it a strawberry pink and think that it is so representative of hapiness. It is merriful and joyful and I think it is going to affect me in a positive way, hopefully.
The reason I chose this specific pink is because I feel the need to capture all the hapiness I have expreienced in my life (specifically during the last 2 years) and keep it as a precious feedback for some harder days to come. I wanted a message of optimism and so I chose to have a room that will look a lot like a candy :D
I hope this won't affect my appetite! I am not sure of the meaning and the psychological effect of the colour but I think it represents friendship and it's as well energy-giving colour (along with all the "warm colours"), not really relaxing. I guess I 'll dye my sister's room with a "cooler colour" in order to find some peace and relaxation inside my house.

Of course I am going to ask her about the colour!!!!


So, today the third of the four walls was finished by me. One more day without any mistake and hopefully my candy-room will be ready. And I am really bound to show you some pictures!
Referring to colours this is a picture of my very first large laundry.
What do you think about the colours?! What do you think about my assiduity?!

A beautiful song

There is this wonderful song which moves me every time I listen to it. It is called "A little too far" and the band's name is "Savatage". Savatage is a well known band with lots of successful and wonderful songs that I really admire! However, this specific song is so special for me because in the way I see it, it is dedicated to the loss of immaturity and excitement, to our growing-ups...
Just notice the way he sounds when he says: Got to get back... :) So important message!

Unfortunately I coudn't find the link on youtube :(
But you should really search for it...

LYRICS

Do you remember
Look at me
At all the things we said we'd be
We'd beat the house
We'd push the odds
We'd take it all we had the cards

With years to burn
And years to trash
Livin' life based on flash
But somehow reaching for the stars
I think we went a bit too far

Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back

When everything you touch turns gold
Can weigh you down
Can make you old
When metal doesn't ring the same
Reaction from inside your brain
And all the years we offered up
To gods who couldn't get enough
Though we still stay up all night
The mornings aren't quite as bright

Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back

And all those things we thought we learned
As we watch our bridges burn
While standing in the afterglow
I guess we gave them quite a show
And who's to say what it's about
When John Wayne caught the last train out
And Spock and Kirk have had enough
And no one's left to beam me up

Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
Yeah
Oh ho
I never meant to take it this far

Has any of you ever found himself weeping over his lost innocence or is it just me?!
Kisses

Konna
