I lost my wallet
2008-04-03 10:51:00 Last night, I went out for couple of drings with a cool girl i've met at work.Me and her are the only ones in this huge building with hundrends of people, that are into the goth music and lifestyle in general!thank god i 've met her :Dso anyway, we have made plans for last night to go to this goth/rock cafe-bar for a nice girl's night out!we had so much fun, we laughed and most importantly gossiped for tons of things.it was a perfect evening....which was followed by a terrible morning :( because this morning i realized that my little coin wallet is missing. i didn't have id or other important papers in it. i just had 60euros, 1 credit card and 1 debit card (which i alreayd informed my banks to "cancel" them)..damn it! :( i feel so sad More About: Lost , Wallet
3 years non smoking
2008-03-16 11:52:00 3 years or so, ago, I managed to quit smoking.it was kind of easy actually. i'm not sure if i have mentioned it before in this blog but i used to roll my cigarretes. it was a procedure that i rather enjoyed, however, not very feminine as some have said but again.. what is feminine in smoking?anyway, since i used to smoke that kind of cigarretes, i believed that it was better than regular, chemical proccessed cigarretes in a pack and i always enjoyed a rolled one, more. I felt it was more pure (if it can ever be called pure) and i whenever i finished one smoke, i was feeling full and didn't want to light another one right after it, like many people do. or even for the next hour.i used to smoke about 10 rolled cigarretes a day. they are not much but you know that these cigarretes last longer cause the paper doesn't get burnt. it will go down and then you can light it up again :).i was kind of addicted but you can say not that much.and, in contrast with so many smokers that I know, ...

lack of internet and a new place
2008-03-13 09:30:00 So, AT LAST, i finally moved in with my bro and sis to the "new" apartment. and i use quotation marks cause the apartment is not new. it's another one that we used to rent to two girls but we don't anymore, so me bro and sis live there now! Which means, a new house with NO RENT yayyy!!:) it's nice actually, me and sis went to IKEA to get a bunch of stuff to make ourselves a descent room. we bought Chinese-like beds (well, i'm not sure if they are indeed chinese-style but for some reason they seem chinese to me. could also be japanese? :D ), little cute tables for each, colourful plastic set of forks/spoons/knifes for kids :D, uhm, couple of plush bats, and many other things that i don't remember right now.oh and a red carpet. here is the room the day we started redecorating it. no beds yet. I need to take a few pix of how the room is now.oh and as you can see, the one wall of the room is a huge mirror :Dyes,we share a room, that's the only drawback but since she doesn't stay ...

Respect your co-workers people!
2008-02-26 23:08:00 So there is this girl at work that whenever things get tough and we are in a middle of a crisis, she has never, ever turned her back on me.Even if it's not her job (or mine for that matter) to do those certain things that we occasionally do.And I deeply, truly appreciate this.However, I can't stand others that don't give a damn and all they care is for the the clock to show 5, so they can take their coat and go. And above that, to refuse to do something besides their usual tasks - and I repeat, not in an ordinary basis, but only in cases of emergency- and have an attitude saying with a snobbish voice "well, you know, it's not my job to do that".Well neither is mine, but I stayed up to 8.30 today at work, cause some things just need to be done.But you know, those in higher places than me, are not stupid.I don't do extra work to get anybody's attention, however I know that those who should, notice what's going on. And they have proved so. More About: People , Workers , Respect
Do you like Nana?
2008-02-24 12:27:00 And I'm talking about the anime series Nana . For all of you out there that have watched this show, tell me. Isn?t it the most real and authentic emotional expression of feelings that you have ever seen in any movie in your life?Damn it, those Japanese people really have it. It?s amazing how they manage to completely and utterly represent with drawings our entire feelings. They are sadist because they know we (the viewers that is) will suffer and love it at the same time, which that make us masochists. Hehe.It?s a great relationship.Bottom line, I love Nana. The best romance, drama, comedy and everything else series, that I have ever seen. More About: V Series
Coding for Internet Explorer
2008-02-06 09:58:00 Is something that I find HIGHLY frustrating!!!!!!/nag mode onI cannot accept - and frankly I won't - the fact that I have to code/develope/whatever in order for my websites to look nice and, well, most important to function for the stupid Internet Explorer .Can please anyone tell me why the same piece of code WORKS JUST FINE in Opera and Firefox and Safari but Internet Explorer refuses do so????it's retorical question :P*sigh*It's very annoying to try and make things work for IE just because IE (aka the worst browser ever) is the most popular and for the simple reason that PC users simply don't know!!!! or don't give a fuck for that matter. However this "don't give a fuck" attitude is what makes me furious right now :P/nag mode offbye :) More About: Coding

2008-01-17 22:41:00 Your's truly is now officially 29!!So I wanted to put into my blog a cool birthday-wishlist widget but I coudn't find any, so I decided to make one on my own. (do you know anything for blogger?)Well, nothing too funcy, just a little bit of html with a bunch of cool links, that's all.But I couldn't manage to do it like I wanted to. I'm not that creative right now I guess. However I did something and I'll post a link or something just to see what little (well, not that little) Morgania would like to have :)And something tells it's going to get updated too often :PAnyway, since it's a work-night, I'm not going to celebrate my birthday today but I will treat my friends on Saturday.:)so, happy birthday to me -once more- and I would like to thank my friends who remembered me today :)Goodnight![ps. my first, homemade, wishlist :) ] More About: Presents , Birthday , Resent
Happy 2008!!
2008-01-03 12:44:00 I hope all of you had a great time and I wish nothing but the best for the new year!!Now that I have this 2 weeks off from work, which sadly end on Monday :(, I have ruined my daily sleeping routine. Since I had time I decided to level up my character in WoW and reach at last 70! I don't have that much left. I was a lvl 64 (almost 65) and now I'm 69. Today I'm planning in getting that level hehe.So, these past 10 days or so, I have spent most of my time playing World of Warcraft, hanging out with friends and mainly my boyfriend and the average time of me getting to bed is around 4-5 am. Which is ok since I don't have to go to work and I can wake up anytime I like.But on Monday I will have to go back to work and wake up at 8!! This is a problem cause now my body is used to a certain sleeping/waking time-schedule and in order to change that I would have to stay awake for an entire day, in order to feel exhausted and feel the need to sleep early. I've heard other people doing it b... More About: Happy , 2008
Christmas time
2007-12-30 14:27:00 Again I kind of have the Christmas blues, and I know why. No matter how often people say "try to have fun with your friends and beloved ones wherever you are" I don't thing that this is a realistic statement. It's a nice ideal to have but I don't believe it can actually happen nowadays.What I want to say is that I'm kind of broke which means I didn't made any special plans for this year, although I'm surrounded by friends and family and my dearest boyfriend. But the fact that I didn't go anywhere during summer and my constant work and anxiety, have led to me being in serious need of a change of environment. In other words I feel sad because I need a vacation trip and I can't afford one :(.I haven't quite enjoyed Christmas this year. I don't know why. However my sister treated me a night at the movies. We saw Nightmare before Christmas in 3D which was nice :).It's like a tradition for us to watch that movie every Christmas eve!So anyway, I was saying about me and my blues.... More About: Time
I got me assistants!!
2007-12-13 22:49:00 What I mean is that I have now two amazing girls to help/replace me in a certain task at work. I'm like their supervisor and I feel so excited. Not because of the supervising thing, I'm not an actual supervisor, I'm more like their trainer.I adore them. I know it's too soon to say these things cause well, the one girl has been in the company for 10 days and the other one started working just today!!But for some reason I feel happy to have them working with me. I love talented people and I guess what I enjoy more is the actual fact of me teaching them and them proving to be even better than I expected them to be. Am I making any sense? :P I hope so.Oh and I'm also getting deeper into the programming area.I'm learning more things and I'm making (coding that is) things that I haven't done before! :D :D*Morgania is going to become geekier that she already is*^_^Oh, and I want to buy a mac and I want to learn how to properly work around in Linux OS.

Busy programmer bee
2007-12-09 19:24:00 The following is a Sunday belated post-to-be-published that was left all alone in the "drafts" area :P.Better late than never--------------------------The good news is that my company is going to close for 2 whole weeks during xmas time!!The bad news, as you may guess, is that we are going to work our butts out to finish our project before the 21rst of December (last day at work, yay!) which also means that we are working even on the weekends. Yup, I was working yesterday, I'm still working and I'm going to work next weekend as well!!I'm a very very busy "working in the city", girl!!!I'm so tired, my eyes are sore (too much time in front of the computer screen, coding) I have terrible headaches which may also mean that I need new glasses or something... and in general I'm a mess :PToday is Paradise Lost's concert and, damn it, I'm missing it!

Good but not great party
2007-11-24 22:32:00 Well, I have this annoying cold so it kept me from enjoying myself as much as I wanted it to.However, I saw friendly faces and had my drinks while dancing a bit. There were also a small live from a "friendly" group. I say friendly cause I know the one guy. They were amazing :D. Their music is so nice and they are evolving as time goes by which is I guess the best thing that can happen in a band.Anyway, here are a few pixies :Ppeople dancing:the band performing (in a blur):and the "mystery" bar (you never know what you're drinking): I wish I could upload more pictures but I prefer to keep some things anonymous ;)It's more intriguing that way, not?

I met an american girl...
2007-11-12 20:00:00 ... and we became friends.She came to Greece a few months ago.. kind of complicated... bottom line, we work together but soon it's going to be "worked" cause tomorrow she is living.It was so cool to have the chance to hang out with an american girl. Well, people are people everywhere, it's just small things that change. Some say that the small things are those that make the difference. Either way, I had the chance to practice my english and actually to do things that required me to go "outside"What do I mean? Well, cause of work I was (still am, that doesn't change) always tired and exhausted and I never really wanted to do things after work. But now, for the past 2 months or so, I was showing her what's Athens like -well as much as I could- and it was a nice break for me too. I'm an internet/computer junkie and I enjoy staying at home, browsing the internet, playing games, e-shopping but it's also really nice to go out and hang out with friends :).It's a "live for the presen...

Everything has its price
2007-10-18 22:15:00 I may have found what appears to be my "dream job" and I'm not saying that ironically, I really mean it, but on the other hand it seems that I'm losing precious time.Or maybe it's the adjustment thing, or maybe is the fact that I kind of started working somewhere else as well (in a photo shooting agency, fixing retouching etc pictures) in order to make some extra cash.Which in the long run, will be a good thing.Oh and I'm starting looking for an apartment (or something small in general) near my work. But I'm not in hurry. I hope I will manage to move out in a 3-4 months, cause it's Christmas in two months (busy period in general) so.. well, we'll see.Oh and I managed to find after sooo many months CSI season 6. Yes I'm way back but I started watching the entire show from season 1 cause I wanted to see from the very beginning all the small details-which are the biggest after all- and, well, the entire "development" in the relationship between Sarah and Grissom.

When you don't go out that often...

Of course seeing Noisuf-X live made the night even better!! Xotox were also there!! :)Both amazing bands but I have a certain weakness for Noisuf-X ;).This guy is brilliant. I read his biography (ebm/noize lovers go check it out here ) and I like him even more now!Gratz to you Mr. Noisuf-X or X-fusion if you like :)This is what I managed to shoot from last night's gig.You can see Xotox performing and part from the crowd.

Morgania is about to explode
2007-08-09 21:01:00 This summer I volunteered to do extra work at... work, not for free of course.They said "would you like to do 'that work' when 'this girl' is going to be away on holidays? With double money?"I said yes cause I'm in need of extra cash.However I didn't expect that this specific task would be such time/energy consuming.It's not a hard task, it's just disgustingly routine and I get tired only by thinking about it, lol. I feel totally wasted when I finish. The good thing is that I don't need to be there in the morning :D. I can go to work at 12 :)Oh and the other good thing is that I get to work from home, or from wherever I can get an internet connection.Like my friend's cottage that I was few days ago.Wanna take a look?This my laptop where I'm working, on the back side of her cottage.There is also a pool in the front side but I don't have a picture.However, remind me not to accept in doing any summer tasks again!!!

I am lucky enough to be able to say...
2007-07-24 10:15:00 ...that I have seen Front242 LIVE!!Last night they were here, in Athens, for a show! It was their first time and I doubt if there ever be another one.I can't begin to describe how perfect they were.There I was, watching an electro band perform and I know that most of their music was composed back in the 80s, when I was 3-4 years old!! :OHow can I not feel awe and respect???:DI feel so lucky that I managed to see them.They were so powerful and perfect!Plus, my boyfriend was with me (he doesn't listen to this kind of music but thankfully he liked them a lot) and my best friend was also with me. She is older than me and she is the one that taught me about Front 242, years ago!! And she was also dancing - she doesn't dance usually.So for all the above reasons this is going to be a concert I'll never forget!I took some photos but with my mobile phone.

The best time at work..
2007-07-21 10:53:00 ...is the "lunch break".We all go to the small kitchen area. It's so cute, it's small but has a few tables, fridge, microwave and stuff like that.So we all gather there and it's like the break period at school where as kids in elementary school we would do every silly thing that we could thing of.Ok we don't actually do silly things but we just joke around and laugh our hearts out.It's so refreshing and honestly you don't want to go back to work.

Yes I'm doing it myself.My god, it's so hard, but I enjoy doing it :).As you can see in the picture, I'm painting it purple/lilah. I'm sensing it's going to be perfect :D.However, I'm not sure if I'll do it again. Well, definatelly not in my dad's old appartment and definatelly not in the appartment me and my bro will rent after our dad's get sold.IF I'll do it again, it would be in the house I'll live for ever with my husband (no I'm not getting married anytime soon, I'm just saying that).In some other news, I used to have another blog about games in general.Long story short, the friend how had provided me with some free space, no longer uses that server.Since I don't know what will happen I might just enhance this blog with gaming material as well ;)Ok, my break is over, off to (painting) work again!
