R.I.P. Kitty

My cat Kitty died on Sunday hit by a car on the alley of out block. I’ve had her for 9 years, but she was still healthy and had no age problems. I’ve waited until today to write about this cause I wanted to be sure I won’t burst into tears while writing this. I really don’t who was the murderer, the man who’s lack of attention is now affecting lots of persons, but I’m sure that it’s someone that lives in our block, cause no one else would enter the alley. I’ve cried for the whole day on Sunday, and my eyes were so swelled that I could barely see. Anyway, now I feel like she’s still here, like she’s outside, in the garden playing and lying in the sun, which I think it’s pretty good for me as it’s less painful. I think it’s called auto-suggestion or something like this. I mean, she’s been through so many, she was seriously ill, she got blocked on a roof for about a week while she was pregnant, she gave birth to kittens for 2 times, she could have died for so many times but she died now, when we less expected, because of a stupid man’s fault. Animals are better than men, they aren’t so careless as humans and neither they are so cruel, and animals don’t make each other suffer, like we often do.

Ahh… about that video blog I made like 2 weeks ago and still didn’t have time to upload, I’m not very sure whether I’m gonna put it anymore cause there was a part where Kitty appeared and if I see that I’ll probably cry again, so it’s most likely that I’ll make another one…

Today I’m going shopping with my mom in kind of an ‘examination’ for formal dresses and shoes, so fingers crossed for me! I hope I find something nice…

Video editing issues

I made a video blog, my first one b-) , with my friends on Saturday, but I’m having issues on gluing all its parts together as it is formed by about a dozen different videos :| I’ve downloaded Sony Vegas 8 from a torrent but while installing it just stopped and refused to go either forward or backward, so I gave up. Then found out an old video editor I’ve had on my computer for a while and I had forgotten about called Ulead Video Studio 11. It seemed to work perfectly until it came to save the edited video, formed by multiple other videos, as an .avi file. Not only it took a lot, but when I opened the video at first it was just the sound and a black image, and then by the end the image appeared but it was like in slow motion :nerd: So I gave up again! Now I downloaded Sony Vegas 7, but haven’t installed it yet, as my friends told me at school that it is easier to install cause it doesn’t need as many codecs or whatever they are called as Sony Vegas 8. Hope this one will work, although Ramona has already downloaded and tried it and has told me it doesn’t load .avi files…argh!! Do you know any other good video editing programs?

However, we really had fun while recording that video blog and my friends (Ramona, Giulia and Crina) who took part in it were really excited about the idea of a video blog, a lot more than I expected actually :D If I still don’t figure it out, I’ll upload it just as it is, in a lot of parts 8-|

As you’ve probably already seen, I made a new layout today. The last one seemed to be just too plain for me, so I decided to change it. I mean, it wasn’t that bad, but I just wasn’t satisfied with it and it also had some little problems. I’ve made this one pretty quickly, I mean quickly for me, not in general :D although I though it will take me like ages. I still have to fix some CSS parts, like making an image for the post icon and the blockquote. I’ll probably do this tomorrow. I’m having a test at Romanian tomorrow, so I’ve spent most of this day studying for it. It contains the same subjects that are for the exam, which is only 2 weeks away, on 5th May. However, I’m kinda looking forward to this exams cause once they’re done it means end of the school for me >:)

I reckon I’m done and I also have to go to sleep. Also, I’ve finally made a Twitter account, so if you like to follow be you can find me at http://www.twitter.com/summerhugs. Bye! :)

First blog at 15

Well I’ve delayed this blog kinda too much. I was supposed to blog on Sunday, or maybe on Monday, but now it’s Thursday! :| Anyway, I’d like to thank a lot to all those that wished me a happy birthday and also a happy Easter :) It meant a lot to me! I’m sorry but I’ve absolutely forgotten to make Easter cards. As I celebrate Easter this Sunday, I forgot to make cards for the 12th April :( Okay so the main reason why I haven’t blogged yet is that I had so much homework to do! X( They gave us so much to do in Romanian and Maths that I don’t know how are we supposed to actually have a holiday, relax, and also celebrate Easter for about 3 days :nerd: It feels more like a busy school week rather than an Easter holiday 8-| Whatever…now I have to tell you about my birthday party :D

It was just great, greater than I expected. We did nothing extraordinary, but we just felt great being together, watching TV, telling jokes and singing well-known songs. We laughed so much that I couldn’t feel my cheeks :blush: And now comes probably the best part – the present :D So my friends were definitely
right when they said it’s gonna be the best present ever :D When they rang
at the door I was ‘greeted’ by a box wrapped in Hannah Montana posters lol! As they know how much I hate her, they’ve probably thought it would be funny to see my face when I see all those pictures with her. I was told to unwrap the box without tearing the posters, and I tried to do my best, but I’m not that good at cutting scotch pieces with the knife (yeah..it is far more interesting for me to use a knife on a Hannah Montana poster than an ordinary scissor >:) ) so I tore them a little ..mwhaha! After about 15 minutes, which I spent on opening the box, except for the pile of toilet paper I found inside the box, there was another box, again wrapped in a Hannah Montana poster!!! 8-| The design of the box, as far as I could see it were the poster wasn’t enough, remembered me of the box of my Converse All Star shoes :| and then there was a small gap on the box and I could see through it that white front part specific to All Stars so in that moment it was pretty clear I had received a new pair of All Stars. Yaaay! :)) Then I put the box aside and I wanted to hug them all for this super present, but they told me to search again in the box. Again wrapped in a Hannah poster (I really don’t know where they had so many posters from!) was a NO MILEY T-shirt! Mwhahaaa! >:) The picture on it was perfectly chosen by my friends, as Miley had her absolutely stupid smile on it 0.o I can’t wait to wear my new T-shirt on Tuesday at school to see the faces of all those Hannah fan little girls >:) I’m so evil…I know b-)

I was tagged by Andu and I have to answer these questions:
1. Why did you choose your site’s name?
A: Well, there’s actually a longer story. Summerhugs was the name of an old piczo site I had started with one of my best friends, but never finished. At first I wanted another name for my new co.cc domain, but than one was unavailable so I remembered about summerhugs. Now I’m happy I chose summerhugs, as it seems a nice name for me :)
2. What is your favorite color combination so far?
A: Uhmm..I like white, pink, blue and black sometimes. As for the layouts, each layout has a different colour scheme, which doesn’t rely too much on my favourite colour combinations :D
3. Who is your favorite Friend online? Why?
A: I have more than one favourite online friend, so here they are: AnneMarie, Marielle, Vikkandra (Alexandra), Nedo
4. Who is your favorite chatmate?
A: Chat mate? :| Well I don’t use chat rooms or something, I talk to my friends through Messenger
5. How many boyfriends did you have since birth?
A: Hey! What kind of questions are these ha? :nerd: Ermmm..4 I think :blush:
6. Do you have boyfriend? If yes, are you serious and happy with him?
A: By this time no :)
7. Hmmm… When (age) was your first kiss? (What a question!)
A: 14 years 8-| Yeah really…what a question.. X(
8. What was your feeling?
A: I don’t know…I reckon I was kinda shocked :|
9. Where did you came from (country)?
A: Romania
10. Then what’s the nationality?
A: Romanian.
11. What’s the official language?
A: Romanian.
12. How many languages can you speak? What are they?
A: Romanian (that’s my first language), English, French and I can barely understand Spanish and Italian
13. Are you proud of your country?
A: Well Romania itself is a beautiful country with lots of nice places, but unfortunately most people here destroy its beauty, are uncivilised, they don’t know how to appreciate things, they don’t appreciate knowledge, and everything they do it’s just for their very own interest, they don’t care about the others :(
14. What’s your hairstyle?
A: Simple, straight, above the elbow
15. What’s your beauty style?
A: I’m going for natural. No intense make-up (not that I know how to use any kind of make up :D ) or dyed hair
16. What’s your clothing style?
A: Casual and what’s in fashion :D
17.Anything else you want to say?
A: Ermm…not too much. I have to tag other 8 people 8-|

Ok…so I’ll tag: Alexandra, Georgia, Georgiana, Gilian, Marielle, Monet, Halinor and ..phew…and that’s all. 7 people is enough, and you don’t have to answer the questions if you don’t want…as they are pretty personal. You may take the tag only if you want ;)

Here is a slide show with some photos from my birthday party :)

Uhmm…I’m not very sure whether my calculus is correct, but what I wanted to say it’s that TOMORROW I’LL BE 15! Actually I don’t feel like 15 at all, but I’ll try my best to act like a 15 years old person ^^

Argh…this laptop is getting on my nerves X( Now it’s the 2nd time I’m writing this blog, cause the last time I wrote it the laptop just stopped responding to my commands just after I pressed “Publish”. Oh…and now I’ve really lost my inspiration and will to write..Damn it! Oh, I have to wish you all an early Happy Easter! I’m celebrating Easter next Sunday, on 19th April, because I’m orthodox. I’m pretty lucky this year, cause my birthday wasn’t on the same date with Easter, or close to it. I had my birthday on the same date with Easter for many times some years ago, and it’s just frustrating, cause you don’t feel like it’s your birthday at all :( But anyway it’s better than having your birthday on the same date with Christmas, cause at least Easter is not on the same date each year :D Talking about people having their birthdays on the same date with Christmas, I think it’s just annoying to receive the very same present for either your birthday and Christmas :| Poor them! I’m pretty lucky comparing to them :D

Well, I probably won’t be blogging tomorrow, as I’m having a birthday party, but maybe on Sunday to tell you about how the party went on and about the present :) Ahh… I really should make a new layout, as I’ve been having this one for ages! :|

Hmm…I think that’s it! Have a great time everyone :)
