HAPPY 2014 !!!! + My resolution of Happiness

HAPPY 2014 LOVED ONES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Happy 2014 to you and your loved ones, i hope that 2014 will bring you as many of your hearts' desires as possible! Stay healthy , happy , energetic , and positive thinking!

I decided to celebrate this new year with a change of the blog's layout. What do you think? I find it dreamy, lilacy (i love lilac) and i also love the books! I hope you are enjoying it as much as i am.


   My dear readers, i know that for once again i have been absent for so long but it is something that you should be getting accustomed by now. I don't intend to give up on my blog, it is just that i write whenever i feel time-pressure free. And i never forget you. I hope that you as well will cope with me and make do with my blog posts' frequency as it is. I will try to post whenever possible, whatever possible means.


   MOVING ON dear ones i though to start this year of with a simple but meaningful post.

A few weeks ago, i fell upon this video on youtube. The video, is a speech by Sam Berns that talks about happiness in one's life and 3 ways to achieve it.

Summing up these 3 ways towards a happier life:

1. Don't waste energy and focus on things that you can't do because there is so much that you CAN do

2. Surround yourself with people you want to be around

3. Keep moving forward

Bonus: Never miss a party if you can help it ;)

Generally i tend to be depressed and overestimate things. I was in a need of nice philosophical words and so i really watched this video with my full attention. I was deeply moved. I don't cry generally at speaches but this time i cried. And i didn't cry because of this young boy and his incurable disease that leads directly and unmistakably to untimely death. I cried because of how true his words are. Because how wise and strong he is despite his age.


So i am not forwarding this message to you as to feel sorry for him and lucky that you are healthy. Yes, to think that (that you are lucky to be healthy) is also a good thought. But what i am forwarding this youtube video is to help you revise your life. Think these 3 ways towards happiness and if you think you could use some extra happiness in you life, implement them.


These small precious moments fill us with wisdom and help us move on.

Last but not least i believe that Sam is an invaluable speaker. He has a great way with the audience.



That was all my dear cat readers. I hope you found this post inspirational and full with positive energy. In case you didn't watch the whole video i recomend you scroll up and watch it all. All 12:45 minutes. They are really a treasure.


Till the next time,
kisses and a paw

My everyday pc routine

Greetings loved ones!!!

Hope you missed me :)

   Today i wanted to write about my everyday pc routine. I have a dependency relation with my pc. If i don't use it everyday i have a feeling that i miss something. Eventhough i use my pc for various reasons, every morning that i turn it on, there is a certain series of things that i do everytime.


So here you have it, my everyday pc routine! (most of the times it's while i sip on something, mostly coffee <3 )


1. Check my emails

   I think this is a step that most of us do, if not all of us. I check aaaaall of my e-mail accounts and reply to necessary inbox.

2. Facebook newsfeed

   Moving on it's time for my facebook account. I check all my notifications and then scroll down the home page for as long as i am bored. I see my friends' news, other news and funny stuff from the pages that i have liked. Nothing too important here, just some happy-spending time.

3. Youtube newsfeed

   Same goes for youtube. I check my subscriptions newsfeed. I read quickly the titles of new uploaded videos and open the ones that i'm interested. Usually i watch fashion videos, celebrity videos, videos uploaded by the ellen show and then i check on my favorite youtubers.

   Two of my favorites that i always go on my own on their channels to check if they have new videos up, are:

myburlesque , mygreekburlesque

allthatglitters21

  Lately i discovered PewDiePie and his girlfriend's channel CutiePieMarcia and i enjoy watching their videos too.

4. Taylor Swift

   Time for girl-crush. Everyday i visit taylorswiftweb.net for the latest updates. I love watching Taylor in any new appearances as she is always flawless and i take fashion and make-up ideas.

5. Lily Collins

   Girl-crush number 2. Lily Collins. Again for the same reason as above i like following any newsfeed about her. I didn't find any good fansite deticated to her so i usually catch up on her news on JustJared.

6. The Trend Diaries

   Time for some more fashion. I like visiting this site to see famous ladies rocking new styles. Also most of the times, under the pics there are details about the clothes (where you can find them). Not that i'm interested because they are always too expensive, just saying.

7. Blogger!!!

   You my loved ones!!! :) I then visit blogger, see how my stats are going and read other bloggers' posts.



   So how did you find my daily pc routine? Did i give you any ideas that you might wanna try out too? What is your daily pc routine? It would be interesting to know.


Till the next time my loved ones
MUAH

Where have i been

Greetings loved ones!!!

   I have been away once more. But you have never disappointed me :) The visits on my blog went strong even though my posts didn't.

  Now i am here for you with a vlog-post (?!) , a post showing pieces of my everyday life and what i had been doing all this time! Get ready, get excited!!!


Firstly i started reading a new book and finished it

Book is The Kiss Murder by Mehmet Murat Somer, in greek Το φονικό φιλί.


Secondly i ate a lot of yummy foods ( giant hamburgers, donats in all different flavors ) and much more that i didn't caption on film.

I also have been ''night-walking'' a lot

 Drinking cocktails ............

Watching films and eating snacks

Walking around in my pjs

And last but not least, cuddling my favorite pet (she's not mine, but my friend's)

   So you see that was my summer so far. I've got nothing to complain about, everything was perfect.


   How was your summer? Did you drink enough cocktails??? You'd better!


Till my next post dear friends i send you a lot of kisses and hope you are spending a great time with your loved ones!


Kisses and many kitten paws

My favorite pc games

Goodmorning everyone!

   How are you? How has life been treating you the last days? I hope all of you are doing fine.

As long as for me the past days have been kinda weird. Good events mixed with bad ones, with awkward ones and all of it blend together with weariness. But don't worry. I'm never tired when it comes talking to you!

   This time i decided to write about something that i promised you long ago but never found the time to.My favorite pc games!

   I am not the greatest gamer there is, but i have some interesting gaming past and i am impatient to share with you my all time favorite games.

With no particular order the titles are:

Heroes of Might and Magic

Tomb Raider

The Sims

Prince of Persia

Devil May Cry 4

Dungeon Siege

Let's get into more detail, shall we?

• Heroes of Might and Magic

Ah! This game brings to me so may feelings. It is undoubtedly my favorite game ever! I have played it non-stop since the time i discovered it and never, NEVER, get bored.
The titles i have played are:

HoMM 2 : The Succesion Wars
HoMM 3 : Complete
HoMM 5

   Heroes of Might and Magic is a game of strategy. The game takes place on a ''map'' where you have your castles and heroes, which heroes can recruit creatures from the castles, in order to create an army so as to expand and take control over the entire map.
  Silly and simple as it may seem, this game never ends, always offering you the same thrill as the first time (for me at least).

   From the three titles, my favorite by far is HoMM 2 : The Succesion Wars. The graphics may be simple but it's not its graphics that you rely on for enjoyment. It is easy to navigate and use, quick to install, save and load games, like literally it is installed on your pc in something like 2 minutes! Extrordinary. And you can now have a never-ending game, always providing you with enjoyment and that doesn't take any place on your computer.
   The HoMM 3 follows the same concept as HoMM 2 just with different creatures, new spells and abilities, always having the same advantages as i mentioned above. One negative thing ,my opinion always, is that it is a more demanding game. You either have to use cheats or be a decisive player, because the enemy evolves really quickly.

   About HoMM 4, i don't have something to say (simply because i never played it) and about HoMM 5 it is an ambiguous game. Still is an exellent game, with nice graphics, capable of keeping you interested, but doesn't follow the exact ideas of the first versions.

   It takes much longer to load, the characters take their time to move on the ''map'' , the map is no longer a map but a 3d top view of the game's world, making it harder for you to make out where you want to move your character.
   It is really improved on it's gameplay in comparison with the previous versions (more spells , more character and creature abilities , better race specification ) but for me a quick game , that gains your interest for the strategies that you implement than the impressive visuals , is worth more.

   That's why i have played Heroes of Might and Magic II, more times than i can remember.

There is also a Heroes of Might and Magic number 6, which i haven't read the best reviews about ( that's why i never gave it a go ) and i also read that a number 7 is on the way. We shall se. Till then the only thing i could wish for is more maps for the HoMM 2 game, as i have run out of them :(

• Tomb Raider

Some more ''childhood'' memories here. As most of you i presume , i have played all the Lara Croft : Tomb Raider series games , except for the first two titles.

   I won't tire you with details, because it would take ages for me to say my opinion about each game (if anyone is interested let me know and i will post is as a different post in the future), i just want to highlight 3 things :

1. Tomb Raider number 6 , called Angel of Darkness , is crap (those who disagree i apologise) full of glitches and a sick storyline.

2. The new generation Laras ( from game number 7 and afterwards ) rock!!!

3. If i had to choose  a favorite title , i would choose among Laras number 4 (Last Revelation) , 5 (Chronicles) , 8 (Anniversary) .

• The Sims

Hehe, another ''worn out'' game. This one is really addictive. It's like playing with dolls but on you pc.
Among Sims 2 and Sims 3, i would choose Sims 2, because i find that Sims 3 take forever to load, and that even though  your sim's abilities are of a bigger variety, they are in fact so many that make the gameplay more complex.

Sims 2 is a more ''safe'' choice, providing efficient enjoyment.

• Prince of Persia

Prince of Persia it was a long time ago that i played it and only the title ''Sands of time'' . Still i remember it was a nice action game, with some nice killing, interesting and original storyline, including some romance and nice scenery. It is an old game though, and i doubt it can ofter the same amout of enjoyment today.

• Devil May Cry 4

Another good action game, with cool fighting gameplay. The storyline isn't something impressive , but it gains a bonus from the excellent graphics, scenery aaaaaaaaaaaaand its hot boys ;)

• Dungeon Siege

Finally we have Dungeon Siege, one of my most played games (i think it comes second after HoMM 2).

   Again nothing too impressive, it is an old game, but it saves and loads really quick and offers you never-ending enjoyment with its simple gameplay.
   All you do is that you recruit a group of warriors (maximum 8 i think) , each one according to his fighting method can turn into an archer, soldier , nature mage or combat mage, and what you do is go on a single mission on the map, following a certain route , killing enemies on the way and gaining levels.
   During your travel the scenery changes, as well as the enemy creatures, and your heroes can collect different weapons and artifacts.

   I have tried to play Dungeon Siege 2, but i didn't really like it so i gave it up, and lately it has been released the Dungeon Siege 3 game which i am curious to give it a try.

So what do you think about my favorite games? I can't wait to listen your opinions on these games or even on others that you have played.


Kisses my gamer girls and boys

I will talk to you soon
