Annoying Things

A few days ago, I decided that there were so many things that constantly annoy me, that I needed to make a list of them. Therefore, here are the ones I've come up with so far:

1) Smokers who don't give a shit about other people (almost all of them)
2) People who ask the same thing a billion times, even if you say 'no'.
3) Shop clerks who promise 'blah blah blah' about a product, and you don't get half of it.
4) Shop clerks who 'attack' you as soon as you enter the shop, or who look at you like a hawk, in case you are going to steal something.
5) New collections on discount periods.
6) Show-offs.
7) Gay people jokes.
8) People who state their religion, as if you asked them.
9) People who 'like' their own status on facebook.
10) When my contact lenses dry up because of the air conditioning.
11) My ISP.
12) 10-year-olds that smoke
13) Bargainers.
14) Clean freaks.
15) Copyrights.
16) The fact that suddenly MSN has been deserted while facebook chat (that lags like hell) is overcrowded.
17) People who don't listen to a band if it's not popular.
18) Censoring.
19) Babies that make excessive noise (and I'm not talking about crying a bit, I'm talking about making me wake up at 10 am every morning).
20) My blog's address.
21) People who look at me like I'm an alien if I say I don't like Suicide Silence or something similar.
22) Greeks at MMORGs. Even though I'm one.
23) Big shops without a/c.
24) People who litter.

There's probably a lot more, but I'm not going to sit there and try to remember one to write it down, because it's simply boring.

Okay...so, I just finished watching the movie Piranha (2010). Throughout the movie I was really thinking what would have happened if I had actually paid to see it. Then, I came to an answer: I'd be really pissed off. Anyways, I decided to post some reasons as to why the movie was definitely not worth the watch.

1) First of all, if the fish were eating each other for 2 million years, how were they able to reproduce?
2) Pedophilia is found in it in all its glory. Taking two 17-year-olds with you in a boat to shoot porn? Yay, great idea...
3) Awesome parenting. There's a huge party in town, what do you expect your son to be doing? Studying the bible and babysitting the kids?
4) Lame editing, and the eaten people's bodies look really unrealistic.
5) Apparently the fish have a varying diet, since in the 1st body the policemen say that no bones were eaten, however on all the others the bones are eaten.
6) The 2 main stars of the film have really low chances of surviving, as they could be eaten by the fish any time, and they decide to kiss...how cute! Not.
7) The characters of the movie don't seem to know basic things, like that if 4 people (let's say 3, the 2 kids count as 1) get on a rope, it will probably be cut off, or something similar.
8) Unless they tried to turn it into a comedy in the last 2 seconds of the film, I find it utterly stupid that they decided that those piranhas were not the mature ones. That made it look like a last minute change of plot, since the mature ones were not mentioned or seen in the whole movie. Oh and, since the fossil had a baby piranha on it, shouldn't that man (the fish expert) or any other fish experts that had looked at it, have understood that it's not the freaking adult???

By the way, doesn't the ending imply that there's going to be a sequel? If it's going to be like the first one, I hope there isn't.

Igora 0-22 and Koleston 77/44 Dye Reviews.

Hey there, since I've been using (or trying to) 2 hair dyes for around a year now, I've decided to write a review for both of them. First one is Schwarzkopf's Igora Royal no. 0-22 or, as it is rarely called, anti-orange mix. Second one is Wella's Koleston no. 77/44, aka. Volcano Red.

First goes the (in my opinion) worst, so this would be the Igora one. The thing with this dye, is that it was sold to me as a vibrant blue at the shop I bought it. There even was a sample for it, so after checking it and making sure it was the blue one, I bought it. Now, it costed me about €10, which, honestly, is kinda pricy for a hair dye which does not even have a developper inside, or gloves or anything except for the dye and the instructions
Anyways,  I had first bought that dye about 2 years ago, hoping to get the result I wanted and was promised, but no luck. At all. At that time I thought that the problem was not bleaching my hair enough (I had used oxy of 30 degrees, which is 9%), but anyways I just left it like that.
Later on, actually 2 weeks ago, I decided to try that dye once again. This time I made sure that my hair would be bleached a lot, so that I wouldn't have the same crappy result as in the past. For this, I used oxy of 40 degrees (12%), which is the most powerful one there is, but can damage the hair/skin. Anyways, after bleaching my hair to the point where it was really blonde, I applied the dye, always making sure I use the right proportions. 50-55 minutes later, little did it surpise me that when I washed and dried my hair the result was crappy like the previous one. Having been promised BLUE hair, I did not really like being given some sucky tint of grey, mixed with white, and a tiny little amount of very light blue.
So anyways, given the fact that it is pricy, the color is clearly not the one described on the package and that it does not come with a developper, I would not recommend it to anyone. Also, if I had to rate it from 1 to 5, I would probably give it a 1.5, just for actually having a dye in there and not being an empty package.

And now, for the second and last dye I have and can review, the mighty Volcano Red one (^_^). I've been dying part of my hair red for about half a year, and recently I changed from a Wellaton one to this, the Koleston one.
First of all, I should say that with the Wellaton one, I had to dye my hair almost every month, otherwise it would lose it's vividness or start fading to the point of becoming kinda orange/blonde. So, I bought this one, and figured out it's much much better. It costs around €6 I think, which is reasonable for a hair dye. However, a developper is not included in the package, but thankfully the dye doesn't cost a lot, and  developpers are easy to find and buy, so it was no problem.
With this dye, the color remains vivid for about 3 months, for me at least. Also, note down that I live in a country with a lot of sun, but even though, my hair does not become orange. Moreover, the examples given in the package are almost exactly the same as the result I get, so that's also a plus. Also, if the dye goes on your clothes, after a good wash, it comes off completely, which is very nice, otherwise some of my best t-shirts would be utterly ruined. However, if it goes on your skin, expect it to stay there for some time...
Anyways, overall, it's a really good dye, i'd give it a 4.5/5.

And here are 2 pictures showing the dyes' results:

Tips For Hotel Owners

Having stayed in some hotels in my life, but especially because I stayed in 3 hotels in the past one month, I have decided to put together some tips for hotel/motel/pension owners which come from personal experience.

1) When a school comes to spend the night at the hotel, don’t encourage them to make noise by saying “I hope you aren’t quiet tonight”.

2) If the room is designed for 3 people, don’t put another bed in. It results to being unable to open fridge/wardrobe/cupboards/balcony door.

3) Always have a key for the bathroom door. Some people, like me, like privacy when taking a shower etc.

4) Make sure that if two rooms are close together, the people from room A can’t go to room B using the balcony, or room B’s residents are probably going to have a hard time sleeping if someone is knocking on their balcony’s door.

5) Don’t charge a bar of chocolate €7 when there’s a supermarket just across the street, or guess what most people would prefer to do.

6) If you NEED to put something for decoration on top of a wardrobe, DON'T, under any circumstances, put a skeleton of a dead animal. Real or not, it creeps most people out.

7) On school trips, don’t put the boys in one floor of the hotel and the girls in another. It ruins all the fun.

8) If the sheets have blood for any reason, just washing them isn’t going to be enough. Dispose them or the next customers are going to get pissed off.

9) If there are movies on the TV customers need to pay for, make sure when they are going through them, snapshots of those movies are in some cases not visible. Otherwise, imagine 5-year-old kids looking at the porn snapshots.
 Today I decided to create a blog, so that I can post several stuff I want, which many of you may or may not like :P
Anyways, this is going to be a really random blog, and I’ll try to post frequently, but don’t expect anything special… I may even never get one subscriber or however they are called in here, but who cares…
--Till next time (aka. in 5-10'),
