A few days I go I decided to make cupcakes =)

A very sweet friend of mine,Anna,had just given me a recipe so I went to the kitchen and after a big fight with the frying pans,melted butter and chocolate I managed to bake my very own cherry cupcakes(originally the recipe said to use strawberries but I only had cherries in my fridge).
So here is the recipe if you want to try it on your own!It's easy and very tasty-believe me!;)

Ingredients
1.100gr butter(it's better if you melt it a little bit)
2.100gr sugar
3.100gr flour
4.2 eggs
5.1 vanilla
6.baking powder(a little bit)

Here we go!
Just-so-you-know note: Let me know if the translation is too DUUUH or if you have any questions =)

First of all you combine butter,sugar and vanilla till it gets one thing!Afterward you add the eggs,some flour(one teaspoon) and after you mix them you add the floor.Now the secret is to cream them thoroughly!
Then you put butter in the cupcake pans-it is necessary if you want your recipe to be perfect!Half-fill the cupcake pans!
You have to pre-heat the oven(180°C)and then you bake the cupcakes for 16-18 minutes(I had to wait for about 25 minutes because my oven is from the paleolithic age.)

When they are ready(you can put a little knife in the muffin so you are sure if it is ok)
you melt the chocolate,you cut the fruit in small pieces and you “decorate”the top of your muffin!Don't get stucked in the recipe,leave your imagination free and make new combinations ;)

Firefight

So,in this hour I realize that my day was full of different feelings.

This morning I felt relieved and happy because I had a conversation with a friend I absolutely adore.There is nothing more precious than being with the people you love.

This afternoon I felt anger.Some people don't know words as respect,understanding and moderation.
If you know people of this kind is better not to have them in your life.Of course it's not only the facts that can hurt but the whole way of thinking and the way of reacting.Anyway.The point is that,well,people disappoint me all the time.
I also realized that I have a very bad hadit.People whom I love use to face my I-want-to-slap-you-even-though-it-is-not-your-fault outbursts.And this is not a a thing to be proud of.


Tonight,my 2 best-friends and I,gathered together in a house and talk about everything.Surely it was a night full of laugh.


And now.Well,now it is one of the times when you feel that you miss something or someone.Or maybe you know.This is one of the times you want to turn back the time and do what you had to do,carpe diem.And this is the time you regret.For things you said,for things you did,and for things you didn't say and didn't do.

*Σαν τα καράβια φαίνονται τη νύχτα τα νησιά σταματημένα μεσ' στην μέση του πελάγου
Έχει η ανάσα τους μια γεύση, μια γεύση απ' τα παλιά που αναστήθηκαν με κόλπα κάποιου μάγου
Εσύ δεν ήσουνα που μίλαγες για ιπτάμενες στιγμές;
Εσύ δεν ήσουνα που έκλαιγες γι' αγάπη;
Εσύ δεν έλεγες «οι άνθρωποι δε θέλουν διαταγές από ανθρώπους μηχανές στο ρόλο του προστάτη»;*

Dates

Hello dear followers!
Today I decided to write a piece about DATING.
As you already know the first impression is important.
And I begin!

1.The place.
If you haven't arranged where you will go,it would be nice of him if he asked you were you want to go.Common mistake girls do:They say they don't mind.
My advice:If you think of a place,you really want to go with your wanna-be-boyfriend then tell it straiiiiight to him!Firstly because you will show that you are sure about yourself,secondly because you know that in this place you will feel comfortable and at last you will give a solution quickly so you can move on ;)
2.The clothes.
In my opinion your clothes have to be stylish but comfortable.In my boyfriend's opinion your clothes must make your body look hot:p
*Extra tip:Keep it simple.Simple make-up and simple jewelery.

3.The Talking-The Moving.
Well,this is a very important part because usually from the other person's reaction you can learn if it is a successful date.Yes,if he starts answering in one word or staring at the blondie behind you,hm,sorry to tell you but your date is not the perfect one.
So here are some tested thing you should do and some things you must avoid(remember the blondie)
Must
-be polite.No,you can't text to your best-friend during the date.
-pay attention,even though some thing you hear are not really interesting(it goes along with the first tip)
-do eye contact.A classic tip.
-don't be afraid to laugh.
-when you need to pay although it is a tradition for the boy to pay the bill,make a suggestion to pay yours.However I'm sure he won't let you.
-learn about his likes and dislikes.
-be yourself.Yes I know it's too cliche BUT if you like the guy you are gonna show him the“really you”one way or another.



Must Not
-talk TOO much or ask TOO many-and sometimes offensive-questions.
-talk about your ex-boyfriends.He will think that you have not gotten over them.
-be slutty.
Parethesis.Boys,when they meet a girl the automatic put her in an invisible list.
There are 2 categories.The first one contains the girls they want only to,ahem,sleep with,and second one the girls who want to have a serious relationship with.If you want to be in the second category try to act like you are a part of it already.End of parenthesis.
-show something you not really are(reasons above).
A!And here is a list of the themes you can talk about(well,I think I am losing my time with this because I think you already know).
1.Likes & Dislikes.
2.Places you use to hang out.
3.Music
4.Movies.
5.Best-friends.
6.Childhood.
7.School or job.
8.Memories.
9.Goals and dreams.
10.Hobbies.
And the list is way to big to continue on writing!
Extra tip no2:Be confident!








First dates are really cute.The best date ever was with my today-boyfriend because I was myself!
I hope my advice will help you even though I pretty sure that in a date if you are with someone who you really like everything will be perfect.
Addicted to dates,
Rika.

When a person you know becomes a person you knew.

Imagine you are someone else.Your name is-lets say-Lilly.And you have a close friend whose name is Amanda.You and Amanda like to hang out a lot,you go to the movies,you sleep at each others house,you laugh,you share secrets,you bond.
And suddenly something happens and the things are not the way they were before.But the reason is unknown.
The first step is recognizing the change.
The second is to talk.
The third is to forgive.

You see people make mistakes that sometimes may hurt other people.This is not a thing to be shamed on,because it is absolutely "human".
The thing that must makes you feel sad is when you leave this relationship like that.Because two people that are so close,that are friends,must try.

Somebody,a long time before,told me that it takes years to make a REAL friend.And he added that you can lose him in seconds.
But he didn't tell me if you can ever "win"him back.I personally think you can.With time and with patience and love and affection.
