Summerhugs.netResources and tutorials for you!

Yesterday we had a Cosplay party at school. If you don’t know what Cosplay means, it stands for Costume play. This means that we had to costume as cartoon characters. Ramona, Rebecca and I were the PowerPuff Girls! Yay! I was Blossom , Ramona was Buttercup, and Rebecca was Bubbles. Rebecca’s mother made us the PPG dresses, and they turned out really great, though they were slightly tight . We also had the Scooby Doo gang at our party, as Ana was Scooby, Radu-Fred, Cele-Shagy, Giulia-Daphne and Bianca-Welma. The others dressed as anime characters (yeah, the anime and manga mania is thriving in our class. I’m not a fan though. I’ve never watched any kind of animes, even the super popular Naruto ). So, as I haven’t watched any animes, I can’t tell you the names of the other characters my classmates were dressed as. Actually I know a couple of names, but I’m afraid I’ll spell them extremely wrong, so maybe you’ll recognize them on your own Also, in the last month we played a game in the class. It’s kind of the ‘Secret Santa’, only we didn’t played it approaching Christmas. So every kid randomly draw another’s kin in the class name, and he has to give that kid gifts for a while, until the game ends. Each one had his own envelope(yeah…we don’t use that kind of Christmas socks ..or whatever they are called )where he/she could receive gifts from the mate that draw his name. The purpose of the game is that you shouldn’t know who gives you the gifts, and you have to guess. Unfortunately, my class mates are very excited to say “Oh, I know that X gives you gifts!”. So yeah, I knew who gave me from the first days. Anyway…Yesterday we also had to make a description of the mate that gave us the gifts, or if we haven’t know yet, we had to guess. And we also had to give a bigger present for that one we gave gifts. I received a very nice fluffy toy from my ‘gifter’. We played kind of a game. Oana chose a song that described best each classmate, and the other had to guess who the song was for. As she knows I hate Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana, she chose for me the “Best of both worlds” song from Hannah Montana..arghh . Anyway, he had a great time overall, and we really enjoyed it as one of the last parties together, as this is the last year together as a class .

Today I had again a hectic day. I woke up early in the morning to finish that stupid stupid stupid school’s magazine. Then I went to maths suplimentary work cause yeah…I qualified for the next stage of that maths contest I was telling you about in my last blog Yeah…unfortunately I did . The teacher kept me more than planned before, so I was late for the gymnastics training. After and hour and a half of training and failed danilovas (that’s the cart wheel without hands ) I went with Ramona to French teacher’s house to handle her the memory stick with the magazine and make some retouches. Yeah, now I’m going to teachers’ homes!! . Then I finally came home, really really tired. I was on a big rush today

Also, I have a new hostee. This is Monet at www.blaringlove.summerhugs.net! Her site is under construction now though.
So here are the photos from our Cosplay party. Hope you enjoy! ^^ (As I told you, I’m dressed as Blossom, with the red dress and the red bow )

I joined the Llamawards competition at www.blue-cow.info. This involves funny activities like making certain graphics, completing stories, etc. If you want to join, you can enter the first activity here.

Today I had a maths contest (The Maths Olympiad-Local stage). I really didn’t want to go to this contest, cause I can’t see how it can help we, but the teacher insisted on me and some other classmates to go to this contest, so we couldn’t say no. “Unfortunately” we passed the school stage, so here we are this morning at 8:30 in the mild rain in the super duper crowded yard of the high school where the contest took place. As we all weren’t to delighted of the idea of this contest, we were making stupid wishes like “Aww, I just hope I can’t find myself on the lists!” or “Ahh, I just wanna finish this and go home”.-Be careful what you wish cause you just might get it! – We couldn’t manage to see in which classrooms we where distributed cause the crowd in front of the lists panel was impossible to break through. After some failed attempts to see the lists we went at random towards one of the buildings where we saw most of the students our age were going. We got to the first floor, through all that crowding of students and over caring parents, we looked over the list that was shown on the door of the first classroom and saw that it was 5 and 6 grades, so we went up to the next floor. There we finally saw 8 grade on the list. All my mates found theirselves on the lists, and got into their classrooms. I went with Ana towards the end of the corridor (my surname starts with T and hers with S, so we’re always at the end of the alphabetically ordered lists) In the last classroom we found just Ana, but not we. I called my teacher to tell her I couldn’t find my name there, and she said that I shall go to organisers’ office to tell them I couldn’t locate my name in any classroom, as she’s sure my school sent the right list. So I took Ana with me and went to the ground floor to talk with the organisers. There an ‘infatuated’ lady told us that we should keep searching cause the classrooms where mixed. So we went back to the 2nd floor were Ana’s classroom was and I told a teacher in that classroom about my problem. We followed me on the corridor and checked all the lists on that floor than she told me that I might be in a different floor or a different building either. Thinking of having to go into another building really scared me cause it was quite late and it made me think that other time I shall be careful what I wish cause it might happen so I ran all over that building and checked every list on the classrooms’ doors and in the end I found my name on the list of a ‘forgotten-like’ classroom on a lower floor ( 1st I think). I entered the rather small classroom panting and I told the teacher that was there that I’m sorry I’m late, but I couldn’t find that classroom. I got to my place (it was 9:15 or 9:30 by that time). I started talking with some girls my age, and at 10:30, after about an hour and a half from the time that the contest should have normally started, we finally received the subjects!! Well, the subjects were kinda IMPOSSIBLE!! I was starring at the 2 algebra subjects and I just couldn’t understand anything So I started solving the other 2 geometry problems. I almost did one entirely, and kinda half of the other, and then returned to algebra and started starring like dumb again I wrote everything that passed through my mind, I don’t even know if it’s correct! Then at about 12:15 I gave up and handed the papers. Then I ran to catch up Ramona, who left earlier, so we could go to the dance training which started at 12:30. We arrived at training quite in time. It was so enjoyable to relax through dance after all that happened in the morning and after we worked our minds so much. Our coach, Misses Cojocaru wasn’t there, it was just Ionut, a 23 years old student that is now coming and teaching us dance. We were so relaxed, and really had that pleasure to dance, haha We left at about 2:40 and I arrived home at about 3:10.
In the afternoon I went shopping with my mom. Yay! You know that is sales period now, so I managed to buy at really low prices. I bought a pink anorak from Terranova, and other 2 blouses from Kenvelo (I found them at a really low price for what’s usually at Kenvelo).
So that’s today’s adventure. I couldn’t manage to do almost anything for the re-vamp, cause now my eyes started to hurt when I stay too much in front of the computer. However, I’ll try to find some time to finish the re-vamp in the end.
Hope you have a less-running day than me! ^^

On Sunday, while we were training for dance, our coach told us something that made us quite upset. It is possible that The IFMD World Championship held in Greece will be in the same period with our final exams 7 members of our dance small group of 8 have those exams on 5th, 11st, and 21st of May, so going to Greece it’s almost impossible. Our coach will go there only with the high school dancers and the little ones from 1-4 grades. Anyway, our mood improved on Monday when we talked again to our coach and she said that we may go to the IDF World Championship that will be held in Barcelona, Spain from 28th to 31st May, which is a more favorable period for us. So finally, we still have a chance . Going to Barcelona means traveling by plane, just 8 or 9 and our coach, and I can already see a lot of fun! I just hope for the best!
I had to be quick cause now I have to go training for gymnastics. Yay for danilovas and backflips! ^^

Today I came across a review for a certain site (I won’t give any names or site links in order to avoid any potential offences and hate comments) were the reviewer was criticizing the owner for the enormous amount of resources that were poor quality. I felt so right about all that was written in that review, mostly due to the fact that I knew that site and person before and I had put myself the same question about the content of that site for a couple of times before. It went to my heart and I started thinking really deeply about this question:“Quality or quantity?” I definitely vote for QUALITY! Why to have tones of content that no one could use because its poor quality, when you can have just a few resources of high quality that may the very useful for your visitor? And I may say that this question is the same damn right in the real life too, in whatever situation you choose As a remark, sites with a lot of poor quality content remember me of those old times on piczo, when owners were making tenths of ‘blends’ a day and showed all those hundreds of same-looking blends on their ‘cool’ pages. Were all those graphics even good-looking? I doubt that… Well, all this words are not for anyone’s offence, are for those who should, can and want to change and become better day by day. I admit with no shame that I was, and maybe I still am a more quantity less quality follower, but I definitely want to change if I’m still so.

Ahh…let’s get over that melodramatic and ‘existential problem’ speech . So, in order to follow the “Quality or quantity” slogan, I’m going to re-vamp my resources and tutorials. I want to get rid of all that old content that I’ve lately started to hate and be ashamed of. The re-vamp mainly endorses the Resources section (Downloads, Graphics and Photography). Also, I want to review all the tutorials and make changes where needed. Now I think I gotta go cause my sight is kinda blurring when I look at the computer’s screen I want to say once more that I haven’t written this blog to harm anyone, so don’t leave me hate comments because I was generally speaking, not about a certain person only I’m looking forward to see your opinions about this^^
