Hitting the gym and hitting the fat on the face!

• Been going to the gym from October 1st.

• Bought a one-year subscription.

• I have been going every day except Sunday, when the gym is closed that is. I mean every single day for at least 2 hours.

• I have been doing cardio classes, step classes, abs and legs classes, strength classes, pilates classes, working out on the elliptical machine, on the stationary bicycle.

• I even used to go on foot since my house is only 15 minutes away, but with slight uphills on the way. I don't anymore, because the weather is not really helping out.
• I put on a spandex zone-like thing around my waist on my workouts for extra sweat.

• I weigh myself every week.

• I measure myself every week.

• I count my daily calories intake.

Sounds like a serious plan, doesn't it? I have really made up my mind this time. I have one year and it's more than enough.

It's been a while...

Well, well, hello there... It's been a while and maybe some more actually..
You see the thing with Greek springs and summers, is that they're just exquisite seasons and last half of the year, right?! Suddenly, the day is longer, the sun is warmer, every plant is blooming, everything around you is green with tinges of red, yellow, white, purple, orange.... And after that, the temperature is rising even more and the one thing you need to do to feel better, is just lie on the beach with some sun screen and a cup of iced coffee maybe or a fruity cocktail and dive into the sea every 20 minutes or so. The feeling is just wonderful. How can anyone resist to that? How could I go home and write on my blog? Screw the blog! I'm sorry dearest blog but the sea is a much better remedy for all worries and pains, physical or mental. And anyone born and living near the sea, would know.
Just imagine these pictures... Feel the warmth of the sun on your face, the smell of nature surrounding you, the smell of life, the sound of summer bugs, the cool breeze of summer around you, the taste of that iced coffee in the morning and the taste of your cocktail in the evening...
I'm sorry but these feelings were just too strong to avoid! You should visit a Greek island and you would immediately understand.
So now that all of that is almost gone, I made time for you blog. I can't say I missed you, but I can't say I didn't. Either way, 6 months later, I'm back.

Public sector in Greece

I could start writing now and end probably in a day or two; this is how chaotic public sector in Greece is. If somebody wants a piece of paper he has to run up and down to different departments for even a couple of hours or a couple of days maybe. It's a mess. It's the one thing that can ruin my day and make me feel exhausted for 3 days. The type of people you see in the public sector are: old and tired and very very grumpy, young and bored and very very stupid, women wanting to kill themselves right now, bored people, miserable people, ugly people, hairy people, stinky people, uneducated people, rude people, talking-a-cave-language people, don't-give-a-fuck-about-you-waiting-there-until-they-finish-their-cigarette people. Yes smoking is prohibited inside offices. And all that because they actually have to work less than half the days they're supposed to. Fucking backscratchers, fucking retards, you made my country the shit it is today.You and our unethical politicians. Now young people, like me, who are trying to start living their lives, simply can not. Thank you.
