Earthquake !

Έγινε σεισμός στην Καλιφόρνια σήμερα

Egine sismos stin kalifornia simera

There was an earthquake in california today.

Today at 11.42 a.m. while I was at work, the earth started rocking and rolling, a 5.8 earthquake struck Southern California, the epicenter was located in the Chino Hills, a community of L.A and it was felt all over southern california and as far as Las Vegas.

In my opinion this earthquake was one of the most exciting experiences that I've ever felt, and I'm glad there was no signficant damage and everyone is safe.

Το αγγούρι

Cucumber

Φρέσκα αγγουριά από τον κήπο μου φτιάχνουν εξαιρετικό τζατζίκι

Freska angouria apo ton kipo mou ftiahoun ekseretiko tzatziki

Fresh cucumber from my garden make great tzatziki.

Cucumbers also make great moisturizer lotions for the face and body, due to their high content of water, natural oils, and vitamin E.

My favorite body lotion which I highly recommend to anyone suffering from dry skin or sunburnt is "Vaseline aloe fresh hydrating with aloe and cucumber", it leaves skin really smooth and feeling fresh without greasy sensation. It's awesome for the summer and the price is good.

η Αγάπη

noreply@blogger.com (JC Rodriguez) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:22:00 +0000

Love

Είναι η αγάπη που κάνει το αδύνατο δυνατo

Ine i agapi pou kani to adinato dinato

It's love what makes possible the impossible

Τι ειναι η αγάπη;

Ti ine i agapi

what is love?

Love is the feeling everyone wishes to obtain and to make it everlasting.

Real love never devalues, only the delusional one does.

Love has no boundaries.

Love feeds the soul.

Love moves the world.

Love makes possible the impossible.

η Παραλία

The Beach

Θελώ να παω στην παραλία

Thelo na pao stin paralia

I want to go to the beach

Even though, the heat has descended here in California, I'm craving going to the beach so much. There's nothing like getting a good healthy tan, feeling the sand and the water, the sun and the gentle breeze. When it gets really stressing and when I feel polluted from everyday hustle and bustle, looking at the horizon, at the sea, eases my mind.

Beautiful, handsome

η Ζώη ειναι ωραία

i zoi ine orea

Life is beautiful

The word of the day in this post is another word to say beautiful, besides όμορφος. And I would also like to say that life is beautiful, regardless of the adversities we have to face sometimes and the struggles we don't understand but in the end everything makes sense and we realize there's a reason for everything and it's all worth it.

The Heat

Η ζέστη είναι ανυπόφορη αυτές τις μέρες.

The heat is unbearable these days.

The word of the day today is related to the awful heat wave we've been experiencing in southern california these last days, we reached 105 F degrees, perfect for outdoor activities. Yesterday I went shopping to ease my inner heat at one of my favorite places. Hollywood and the sunset blvd in west Hollywood.

Here's one of my favorite greek songs of all times . The beautiful Eirini Merkouri singing To Tzini "Mazi den kanoume kai horia den Boroume" A greek song about two persons who can't live apart from each other and yet not together.

Love the beats and she's such a goddess.

Lyrics

Η ώρα 3

μα πού γυρνάς
και με νικά η στενοχώρια
κρυφά θα 'ρθεις
σαν το φεγγάρι
που γλιστράει απ' τα στόρια

Εμείς οι δυο μαζί δεν κάνουμε και χώρια δεν μπορούμε
και θα στο πω πως με την ζήλεια πάλι άκρη δεν θα βρούμε
Πες μου αν έχεις κρυφό δεσμό
εκεί που τρέχεις θα βρεις γκρεμό
τι θα μου πεις για το σημάδι στο λαιμό

Είσαι θεά κι εγώ θνητός στο παραδείσιο σου το βλέμα
Θα τρελαθώ έχεις τον τρόπο σου να φεύγεις απ' το θέμα

Εο εο εο(x2)

Πες μια ευχή
να είσαι πιστός και να μου κάνεις κοπλιμέντα
κι άλλη ευχή
εδώ να μένεις δίχως δεύτερη κουβέντα

Εμείς οι δυο μαζί δεν κάνουμε και χώρια δεν μπορούμε
και θα στο πω πως με την ζήλεια πάλι άκρη δεν θα βρούμε
Πες μου αν έχεις κρυφό δεσμό
εκεί που τρέχεις θα βρεις γκρεμό
τι θα μου πεις για το σημάδι στο λαιμό

Εο εο εο(x2)

Πού είχες πάει,δεν θα πω
το νήμα σπάει, σ'αγαπώ
σε θέλω αποκλειστικά αν θες εδώ να μείνω
Λοιπόν κορμί μου θεϊκό θα γίνω τζίνι μαγικό
στο λυχναράκι της καρδιάς μωρό μου θα σε κλείνω

Εμείς οι δυο μαζί δεν κάνουμε και χώρια δεν μπορούμε
και θα στο πω πως με την ζήλεια πάλι άκρη δεν θα βρούμε
Το φεγγαράκι και η αυγή
σκληρά σου δίνουν μια διαταγή
να με λατρεύεις με τυφλή υποταγή

Translation

The time is /It's 3 (a.m.)

but where are you going around
and the sadness is beating me
in secret you'll come
like the moon
that is slipping through the blinds

We two, together we do not get along and apart we cannot
and I will say it to you, that with jealousy again a way we will not find
Tell me if you have a secret affair
where you run to, you will find a cliff
what are you going to tell me for the spot on the neck

You are a goddess and me a mortal in your paradise look.
I will go crazy, you have your way to avoid the subject
Εο εο εο(x2)

- Say a wish
- Be faithful and make compliments to me
- Another wish
- Here you to stay without a second word

[repeat chorus] Εο εο εο(x2)

Where you had been, I will not say
the strand is breaking, I love you
I want you exclusively. If you want me here to stay,
well, my divine body, I'll become a magical genie
in the little lamp of the heart, my baby, I will close you.

We two, together we do not get along and apart we cannot
and I will say it to you, that with jealousy again a way we will not find
The little moon and the dawn
strictly they give you a command
