I recently uploaded on my instagram account (@elliefilippidou) the above picture of me. The most asked question I received was what did I saw in those binoculars. What was the thing that made me smile so broadly and point so excitedly?
 I gave various answers just so I could observe the reaction that they provoked.
 A seagull, a plane or a drone was far too boring.
 A funny-shaped cloud was predictable, but depending on the shape that I was describing or the mischievousness on my eyes, got a few laughs.
 Then I started to get really creative with my answers.
 My future waving me goodbye, gave me an awkward silence with most, with the exception of one black humor fan friend of mine, who responded with the very smart question ''did you see mine too, up there?''
 Superman, was my answer with a DC comic fan. ''Was there battling Batman?'' was his reply, ''and more importantly for whom did you root for?'' he continued, leading to a discussion more interesting than the actual movie, Batman VS Superman.
 A sky-writing proposal, I said to my most romantic girlfriend which made her smile dreamily and wish for her own some day.
 Then things started to get tricky, what else could I possibly have seen? I had to up the game with my imagination.
 A full moon during the day, I said to a -thankfully clueless about astronomy- friend, who promptly replied ''Why didn't you take a picture of that? Don't you have enough of yourself already?'' That made me both smile and realize he was right.
 A multi-colored hot air balloon riding above the city, was an answer which led to an extensive internet research to see if me and a couple of other extremely interested friends could 'also' go for a ride -turns out, we can't-.
 For my final answer I worked my imagination at full speed, I thought what would I possibly want to have seen up there. I struggled for a while but then it hit me...
 A floated house suspended with thousands of balloons with Karl inside, looking for me, his own personal Ellie, to take to his adventures with was my preferred vision, as a true fun of the movie UP -and as an Ellie-.
 For those of you who are wondering still what did I saw, I am sorry but I will not tell you. That will remain my little secret, mostly because I urge you to find a place like the one I was in and look for something extraordinary yourselves, and I promise you if you look hard enough, you will find it.

KISSES!
