Δεν πειραζει που δεν σου ηρθε η ζαρια,
τζογαρισες στο ονειρο κι εισαι ετοιμος για ολα,
το λεει κι ενα τραγουδι που μας μαθαιναν παλια..
ο χαμενος τα παιρνει ολα..
Cant wait for tonight... Dub Rebellion-Aggelakas & Episkeptes-Palyrria-Toshi1
i m going home...
:)
for Stef... now that a new begining is at the door...
because home.. is where the music is what we want it to be.. is where our memories live... is where our people are... is where our heart is..
and this is IN us... :)
the rest.. we make it with our hands and we get there with our legs..
Love you Stef!
Be happy & good! ENJOY!
we are all with you!
where a life goes on...
dreams will keep me young...
You have your clock to remind you that we have time... :)
kai kati akoma...:
"Nothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on"

My story- AIESEC International 0809
My story is a story full of fun, battles, learning, change, success, friends.
It started in February 08, when Juan came behind me and told me that he wants me to shine, and i was trembling like the fish out of the water..
it started when i got elected for a role that i had just an opinion about, coming from a very successful term as President of AIESEC in my country and an incredible team experience; determined, excited & scared but committed to see & support AIESEC globally to grow to the maximum, as my small AIESEC country did.
So, here i m coming in Rotterdam and this is where the party starts; this is where i ve experienced friendship, hard work, responsibillity, love, fights, fun, parties, laughter, community, house, conferences, mates, inspiration, exploring, challenge, plans, execution, numbers, learning, diversity, journeys, trust, fear, desire, questions, alcohol, family, focus, evolution, strange words (systen, quack, coff, officee etc), happiness, why's, desicions, losses, maturity, co operation, committment, planes, disappointement, people, spaces, success.
And now, i m full of owe for the people who surrounded me, full of respect for every single person who has driven & contributed to the organisational achievement that brought impact to the world;
full of gratitude for a team, for 21 other individuals that worked hard, that sacrificed a lot, that stood up for their beliefs, that they overdelivered what they promised, that became my friends, that supported me, that taught me so many things..
and the greatest learning of all...?
the greatest learning that i m taking with me is
CONNECTING TO DELIVER.
seeking for good, seeing complementary needs, creating mutual benefitial, win- win relationships, knowing that we are more powerful together than when we are apart, being honest & inclussive, being innovative & flexible, keeping things simple & cutting the crap.
And this is a fundamental principle of our community; a community that achieved 47% growth in the financial crisis.
I wish one day the world will become like this community; and i cant wait to receive news from my friends, from my team, AI 0809, that they are thriving in anything they do, no matter the path they follow, making the world this community.
Thank you Juan, Kate, Deepti, Mauricio, Lucy, Mo, Annika, Aditya, Emil, Li Zhen, Cindy, Laura, Lala, Pipe, Koni, Petra, Ewelina, Aman, Phil, Walter, Ellen.
I will always look up to you and i will be an ambassador of our message!

"Let s dance little stranger, show me secret sins.. seduce me once again.."
Nouvelle Vague- my favorite
House of Action
Welcome to my house..The House where 2 Australians, 1 American and 1 Greek lived a year..
where a Brazilian lived for 5months.
a House that hosted parties.. GREAT parties;
"Opening", "Come as you are not", "I remember the night when...", dinner parties, movie parties, 80s nights..
sporcle nights... :)
a House that hosted people from all over the world; 1 month living with 15 more people, Lucy & I being the "hostel" managers- which coach is free tonight? which part of the floor? how many changes will we have tomorrow?
that hosted friends, hosted lovers, hosted family...
a House that hosted great conversations:what are the drivers of the world today? what are our thoughts? why this is happening? how should i react?
a House that lived laughter, crying, love, fear, pain, ultimate friendship, jokes, happiness, fights, bad smells, floods, broken pipes, cold, sun, flowers, creativity, candles all over the place...
that is equiped with "recycled" furniture, posters, DIY constructions (our table, our selves..)
..drilling holes on the wall, taking the HORRIBLE garbage bags from the back yard when we came, the dead mouse, painting our walls, putting the fingerprints of our first visitors on the hall way, leaving messages of love & friendship on the black board, living for 2 months without hot water & heating system, having bucket showers, super barbeques, improvising, having crazy combinations of food for dinner..
The House of Action.
The Winners of Life.
Making the best (& the worst) of every day.
Creating our own family; our own world with our friends that we totally love..with our adventures & stories of which some will and some will not be forgotten.
A house that with a great frequency experiences arrivals, departures, arrivals and again departures...
soon, will experience one more departure, a big- no- return- departure from the current crew..
but as for its residents, for the house as well, this will also mean a new arrival!
New people will come for sure. New stories will be lived. New secrets will be said.
As we will continue our lives, as we will open a new cycle, the house will go through the same experience.. with us!
And as we will always remember each other..
as Marcio, Annika, Lucy, Kate and Sophie will always love & remember each other, we will always remember our house..
Same with our friends, and our visitors.Same with our team!
This is our House!
The House of Action! :)
See? In the end, we fixed it! We made it what it deserved to be!
And it will be always in the stories of AI 0809!
Cheers!
