Tea Visions

I wrote this note on Saturday, but I didn’t have internet at that time.

TODAY,  I had tea with me. The reason is that my housemate is talking on the phone and that we bought a nice one seat-couch today and I wanted to use it. By the time I sat on the couch I went several times to the fridge to take something, then I walked around, looked at the washing machine and at the sink with the dishes, thought of washing them, but nuh, not now – it’s Saturday!- and then I thought why I cannot just sit and enjoy myself in the couch, like I know that people do. Do I find myself unbearable? no,on the contrary, I claim I love me. I asked myself how she imagines her future. The only thing she could see, was the picture of three following her, on their bikes up on the hill.Sun is going down and the hill is getting dark and four figures biking straight to the top.
She’s wearing a red-white polka dot shirt,a red hat and black bell pants.

Bright Day

YESTERDAY,  we slept first time in our apartment the two housemates, me and B. I will call her Beanny, to protect her anonymity.:) It was really nice. She cooked rice in an indian way : she sauted  cumin with bay leaves and onion and it smelled like roasted meat! Then she added the rice and green peas and tomatos and potatoes cut in pieces and after 20 minutes we ate. It was really yummy!
MY housemate is vegetarian, that’s so cool. I am trying to be one too.OR at least a flexitarian. That is, you eat meat only when you really really want it or you feel you need it I want to become a vegetarian not because I want to mimic my housemate but for a number of reasons.
1.they say it’s healthier. Mediterrenean diet is also not based on meat (especially on red meat).
2. it’s good for the environment. If you see cows as machines, during all their lives, they burn tonnes of cereal and green stuff and water to produce milk and only some dozens kilos of meat per animal and also some artifacts, e.g. sheet, methane.That’s not efficient in terms of energy, water and natural resources in general. (Plus, methane is partly responsible for ozon hole!)
 Moreover, I am buying mainly organic stuff from the supermarket. It’s a little more expensive but now I am used to it. Again for the same reasons :
1.they say it’s healthier.
2. it’s good for the environment.organic stuff keep part of the earth clean from pesticides and other nasty chemicals.

Moving out – Moving in

καιρό έχω να αισθανθω τόσο πολύ.
    και αυτό μου προκαλεί θλίψη,
δεν ξέρω πόσο βαθιά είναι,
το πιο πιθανό είναι ότι θα την ξεχάσω,
αλλά προκαλεί ανατριχίλα οταν ακούω τραγούδια
όπως το jigsaw into place
και στα ανωτερα στρώματα υπάρχει και μια μικρή χαρά,
ότι “νιώθω” και ακόμα η χαρά της δημιουργικότητας
γιατί όταν είσαι συνεχεια ευτυχισμένος
δε μπορεί να είσαι δημιουργικός
και εγώ από φύση είμαι σαν το φελλό
όσο και να με βουλιάζουν, θα ανεβαίνω με ένα μαγικό τρόπο
στην επιφάνεια
μέσα στον καθορισμένο χρόνο μου, 

 προσδιορισμένο απο τις φυσικές εξισώσεις της άνωσης.
Κι έτσι αυτή η μικρή χαρά
υπονομευεί τη θλίψη στην οποία έπεσα με πλήρη επίγνωση
χθες και σήμερα,
διοτι απλά θέλω να θυμάμαι ότι χθες
ήμουν επίτηδες στεναχωρημένη.

Brugges, Belgium

Brugges

Medieval, chariots with horses, flemish, old-fashioned. Keywords to describe Brugges.
I was not decided what to write about this town…It is sooo beautiful though it smells rust and chocolate in every corner (and in every hotel).
Belgian chocolate is considered art. And belgian rust is their pride and their pole of attraction for quite a lot of tourists.

oooh….
they have a lot of clothes too…but
didn’t have time to pay attention there.

Great, right?

I will try to draw my thoughts on this space as captured some hours ago. While I was thinking my precious thoughts, I thought it would worth sharing. So to say, I was thinking of a way to escape in my foggy and soft and dreamy cloud, where there is no troubles like in real world. No traffic, no pollution, no insurance, no inconvenience, no bureaucracy, no boredom and people stay beautiful and active until their 100′s. Just like in the movies. Have you ever seen a movie hero paying bills or visiting his insurance company? NOoOoOo. If I want to escape though, I have to leave everything behind and be a street something. Just find a decent position between those who entertain us in the parks, in the streets and have their really cool vans and get inside when it’s cold.And then no ambitions, no long-term goals, no contracts and bureaucracy. My mere and only goal would be to earn my living for the next day. Interesting and romantic.Starting from zero outside of my known world. Seems like attempting to reach america from Greece by boat.

Yeah, if I pay a second thought, this option doesn’t seem worse than my life plan, that is :

8h/day work and then dishes and housework, on weekends travelling around.

Anyway, seems like it is not leading nowhere or I’m too lazy to tink right now.

Sorry for the oti-na-nai english, just before I sleep and dig in my cloud again,

Kisses,

Alice

Music-Video Choices

Today it is such a great day. Great day for great thoughts and great things to do! 

I want to share with you these: 

This is a great video with stop-motion technique:  Her Morning Elegance shown to me by my sister

this is a Radiohead’s video with stop-motion technique:  There, There

this is an interesting home-made video with scenes that “ran faster” and Air’s All I need song as a setting:  All I need  

And this is a nice funny stop-motion video showing us how a child would cook spaggheti  ;)

Western Spaghetti

also:

Check PES the director of the last video and more short funny videos (like: KaBoom!, Roof Sex and Pepper Heart ) in his Youtube channel.

….and a useful advice: never ever go skiing without using special glasses (or at least sun-glasses) and sun lotion. Except if you want to end up red-faced, just like me! 

Kisses

Songs for happy afternoons

During the last month I have been “exploring” several music albums and so I decided to share some small “diamonds” I met during this procedure.  Among them I favour “Left turn on a red light”. This song has been accompanying me the last days and I really really think you should take a listen to it. Enjoy!

A little bit of love – Free

 ” ‘Cos I believe, if you give, a little bit of love, to those you live with, a little bit of love… Oh oh oh…. has gotta come your way. “

Left turn on a red light – Blackfoot

” Sun shines down on the desert, And it seems to make my life a haze

And I dream of my childhood sweetheart, And the freedom that I had in those days
When I wake from all my dreamin’ , Will this boxcar always be my lonely home, yeah
Well I don’t know where I am
And I really don’t give a damn
This crazy life of mine will soon be gone “

Wild Flower – The Cult

 ” I’m a wolf child, girl, Howlin’ for you….Wild flower, Star of my dreams

The most beautiful thing, Wild flower, I love you every hour….

Wild flower, Burning down the night, Set the world alight, yeah “

Eindhoven Snowy Days

Buses in Eindhoven. I observe them as if they were wild animals.

I never get too close. Buses and knees do the job.

 

Neighbourhood tree. This tree is really beautiful.

I have many pictures of it carrying snow, see?

I don’t know what’s this, I see it when walking back from the University and 

I have seen it to a couple of t-shirts in the gym lately. It might be a political socialistic party.

 

My future car..

I’m very fond of technology

 Neighbourhood again. Looks like a peaceful village, 

only you don’t know who’s your neighbour.

This was a tribute to the Snowy Days of Eindhoven, the days of glory and royal white purity. The days of falling-off-my-bike-twice-every-day.

Have a nice afternoon!

Hi all,

sometimes I overpost and sometimes I don’t post at all for looong time. But that’s life. Now that I savour a spoonfull of chocolate paste during the lunch break, when nobody is here and you can do whatever you want, I feel that this guy really made my days and the days to come. Aaaaah, chocolate.

all-time favorite Mango skirt, Mango belt,

t-shirt Zara with Alice in Wonderland on it!

many accesorize necklaces on-sales.

I really liked this outfit. It’s colorful, but the colors are unusually nicely matched!
Pity that no one was there to take a picture of me! So I took a shaky pic of me lying on the couch (again!).
