Hello, hello! It's me again and I'm still very alive, even though I have kind of disappeared from the blog! Studying and drawing were keeping me busy and now that I have a job it's been even more busy! Gladly I had the opportunity to stay in Greece till the end of May and get some professional help on my drawing!Thanks to my teacher's advice I believe that I have improved a lot the last month and I hope that I am going to rock on the entrance exams in September! Wuapaaa! Now I am in Finland working and studying and continuing this drawing stuff by myself which isn't as easy as I thought it would be...but I am not giving up! I am so happy that I have found something that I enjoy doing and either I am going to become an architect or not, I still see this as a good extra skill to have! To be honest I didn't even think that I could draw this kind of stuff so personally I am happy with the result no matter what other people think!

BUT enough of the talking and let the pictures speak for themselves! I took the pictures before I left for the airport so I didn't have much time to make them look perfect. (note my fantastic editing skills heh) 


Of course there is always space for improvement, but so far so good! 
To end this post here is a weird video I found of myself in my camera today. You know the feeling when you find something that you have made or done and you think ''what the hell was I thinking?'' (or is it just me?), well I had one of those moments after watching this. 
I am sure you will appreciate it very much :P


Have a nice evening!

Sister time part 3

Here comes the last part of our sister time in Amsterdam! It's a bit weird to be writing about this two weeks after I left Amsterdam...oh well! 

4.4.2015:

We didn't do much on that day since we were really tired watching the tulips the previous day. We were planning to go to Anna Frank, but the line was so huge that we gave up on that thought. Instead we went to see the pillow fight on Dam square and headed back home to watch Maleficent.




5.4.2015:

On my sister's last day in Amsterdam we decided to go see the one windmill we could find close by in Amstelpark. This time it was a real windmill, not like the fake one in keukenhof.

Happy Friday! Time to head back to my studying -_-

Sister time part 2

Aloha! Here comes the second part of our sister time in Amsterdam! A bit late I know, but I was too busy eating lam and tzatziki. Χριστός Ανέστη by the way!

3.4.2015:

As you might know already, tulips are one of the most important things in Holland! Dutch people take their flowers seriously and in my host family we had always fresh flowers in the house to bring some color. I love flowers and it was definitely the best decision to visit keukenhof with my sister. Get ready to see some seriously crazy tulips! If you suffer from allergies you are probably not going to like this post that much...

Unfortunately the flowers hadn't bloomed yet, but I am sure that it would have been spectacular!

Visit keukenhof if you ever get the chance! You won't regret it, trust me ;)

Have a beautiful day! :)
