gifts wrapping
oh how i hate it!
so i was so happy to see that my buiding was offering services to wrap gifts for us ... the only problem is that i had no gifts at all at that time! when i got some gifts (finally), it was too late ...
so, i decided to buy some bags ... except that there were no more bags left ... i went already to 2 different stores ... i was too tired to do more stores ... so i had to buy some wrapping papers and wrap my gift myself at the end. it was difficult!
i told myself to volunteer next year to wrap gifts for others, this way, i will learn i hope!!!

First meeting with some clients ...
and i am so not impressed!! funny how they don't know what they are talking about! and it's their invention that they are talking about!
during my search of patentability, i came accross a diagram referenced by the inventors themselves, which is very similar to their invention. i thought they must have looked at it before but i did mention it again in the report anyway!
after reading the report, they called for a meeting ... during this meeting, the inventors were very troubled by the diagram.
1) they didn't understand it 2) they didn't know who was wrong and who was right.
so, i asked them how they had found their invention ... their answer: it was by trials and errors! because i know that the diagram is RIGHT! the diagram is from PROAKIS and he is not a nobody!
But of course, i couldn't tell our clients that they were wrong ... since my boss assured them that we would get a patent for them!!! ah ah poor me! i will be the one doing that ... i guess i need to develop those convincing skills for nonsense talks .... *sigh*

I looked into my blackberry and saw this entry:

that's it. that was scary!
but today is different, at least, i learned some new words to bridge the lack of better accomplishments ... heyhey ... so here there are:

snow again!
this morning, mother nature was dressed in white; as she put on her beautiful and shining white coat to cover herself, peace and majesty joined her ... mother nature kept releasing the elements, so generously. unceasingly and tirelessly small white flakes of snow were falling everywhere ... some just got lost on the way down, some others were gently melting in a caress to people encountered and some other found their way to the ground to consolidate the fur ... there were so many of them ... they were everywhere!
that remineds me of a question our pastor asked us ... are there more stars in the universe than sand on earth? and i would add: how about snow flakes? nature's generosity reflects God's character ...

but we can have peace of mind, an inner peace that doesn't depend on the outside world or circumstances!! there is hope! everybody can have it :-)

shopping is not my thing
1h30 of shopping in a bookstore gave me a headache;
i saw a nice piece of clothe, i wanted to try it so i took a size 10. the sale person asked me my normal size ... i wasn't sure so i said 6. she gave me a 6. i put it on, it seemed a little big on me, the lady saw me and said that i was a size 2. so i tried the size 2 and it fit me. So from size 10, it went down to 2.
shopping confuses me and always tires me out!

what is hope?
big question ...
comme on dit:
l'espoir fait vivre!
et
tant qu'il y a de la vie, il y a de l'espoir!
donc, espoir et vie vont de pair. l'un n'existe pas sans l'autre et vice-versa!

that reminds me of my days at Fido ...
------------------------------------------
Toilet Humor
I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"
I'm not the type to start a conversation in a restroom at a rest stop but... I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassedly: "Doin' just fine!"
And the other guy says: "So what are you up too?"
What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling east!"
And I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. "Can I come over to your place after while?"
Ok, this question is just wacky, but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell him, "Well, I have company over so today is a bad day for me!"
Then I hear the guy say nervously...
"LISTEN, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!"

questions existentielles et observations
pourquoi je ne rencontre jamais la femme de mon boss dans les toilettes??
les rencontres avec toutes les autres femmes de mon bureau se passent dans les toilettes. d'ailleurs, c'est le seul endroit et moment où l'on peut jaser un peu. c'est bien connu, les toilettes ce sont le social lounge pour les femmes!
une à une on se rencontre et on parle de tout et de rien ... sauf que jusqu'à maintenant, pas une seule fois, j'ai croisé la femme de mon patron. pourquoi?!!!!
quelques filles de mon bureau:
la femme de mon boss;
celle qui porte toujours une mini-jupe et qui est super maquillée(!);
celle qui est super bien habillée, trop bien même, comme si elle allait à un party de noël ou à un mariage;
les jumelles, qui ont les mêmes goûts pour les vêtements, la même coupe de cheveux, les mêmes mèches colorées! (c'en est trop);
celle qui s'habille tous les jours de la même façon(!), je ne sais pas si elle a genre 10 fois la même chemise ou pantalon;
la vieille dame super sexy;
la mère et la fille qui viennent de Salvador;
celle qui adore les jeux vidéos, elle figure à titre de "testeur" dans les jeux comme Prince of Persia; et
il y a Moi, qui ...euh ... qui bois pas moins de 6 tasses de thé par jour ... pour essayer d'augmenter la fréquence de mes trajets aux toilettes et de ce fait d'augmenter les chances de rencontrer la femme du patron là!!

the age of your partner!
Today, i learned the formula to find out the age of the youngest possible partner you should have according to ... who knows who! So, you are supposed to divide your age by 2 and then add 7! That's it. Try to be older than 14 though...
I don't know about the upper limit ... if i can just reverse the formula ...

joyeux noel ...
ce weekend, je suis allee au restaurant tournant, perche tout en haut de la tour de l'hotel Delta. ce fut une belle experience surtout avec une table de desserts qui est a visiter et a revisiter et une ambiance decontractee, a mi-chemin entre le ciel et la terre !!!
Le theme culinaire de ce mois se trouvait a etre les degustations gourmandes des traditions de Noel. Donc, du coup, on a fete Noel! Je pensais que j'etais en avance, mais c'etait sans compter le Pere-Noel, qui m'a devancee, puisqu'il est descendu sur la rue St-Catherine le 11 ou 12 novembre pour celebrer son fameux defile! Pourquoi si tot? Why the rush?
il est peut-etre temps que je pense a mes resolutions du nouvel an tant qu'a faire!
dur dur!
c'est dur d'etre agent de brevets! Arrivee ce matin, comme tout le monde a 9h00, la nouvelle recrue est partie apres 19h00. Et pourtant, on n'a pris qu'une petite heure pour le lunch au lieu des 2 heures habituelles et le boss n'a paye que 150$ au lieu des 250$! Faut dire que trois d'entre nous (moi y compris), se sont abstenus de vin!
soyons sobres car la montagne de travail nous attend! ce n'est que la premiere journee ... et il a deja une bouteille de whisky dans son bureau!

Drôle de troc!
Drôle de troc
L'incroyable histoire d'un trombone
Patrick Lagacé
Le Journal de Montréal
25/11/2005 05h41
Kyle MacDonald est un Anglo de Vancouver transplanté à Montréal par amour. Mais Kyle est d'abord et avant tout un gars qui tente de transformer un trombone rouge en... maison.
Vous avez bien lu : pour Kyle MacDonald, trombone = maison !
Non, Kyle n'est pas magicien. Non, il n'est pas évadé d'un hôpital psychiatrique.
«Je fais, dit-il, des échanges...»
C'est une histoire d'échanges, oui. C'est une histoire sur le pouvoir d'Internet. Et c'est surtout une histoire qui est en train de faire le tour du monde...
Kyle n'a pas un sou pour acheter une résidence. Mais il s'est dit qu'il allait échanger des objets, via un site Web, pour d'autres objets, «toujours plus gros ou meilleurs». Jusqu'à ce que cette chaîne d'échanges le mène à une maison.
Vous comprenez, là ?
Il a donc commencé avec ce trombone, ce vulgaire trombone rouge pour attacher des feuilles de papier, le 12 juillet.
Sur son site Web, il a annoncé au monde entier (qui s'en sacrait) son projet fou. Il a invité les internautes à lui proposer un objet, en échange de son trombone.
- J'ai donc échangé mon trombone rouge pour un crayon, le 15 juillet...
- Un crayon ?
- Oui, dit Kyle, assis à la petite table de son très petit appart du Plateau, un crayon en forme de poisson...
Un excentrique
Puis, le crayon-poisson a été échangé contre une bizarre de poignée de porte en céramique. Laquelle fut troquée contre un réchaud à camping Coleman, qui a ensuite été échangé contre une génératrice d'une puissance de 1000 watts...
Kyle MacDonald en est sûr : à la fin de la chaîne d'échanges se trouve un toit pour lui et Dominique Dupuis, sa blonde originaire de Saint-Alexis-des-Monts...
«Kyle fait ça pour le fun, lance Dominique. Il pourrait économiser de l'argent pour acheter une maison, comme tout le monde. Mais il trouve ça plate de faire comme les autres...»
Kyle, vous le voyez, est le genre de type dont le cerveau ne roule pas sur le même voltage que les autres vertébrés. Exemple : il trippe sur des vieux macarons de René Simard. Me demandez pas pourquoi...
Au début, Kyle n'était qu'un obscur excentrique avec une idée folle et un site web. Puis, il y a deux semaines, jackpot ! Il a soumis son idée à BoingBoing. net, un site hyper-populaire qui recense tout ce que le Web a de plus original à offrir. «Depuis, c'est la folie : j'ai eu 250 000 visites !»
Grâce à BoingBoing, de grands médias se sont intéressés à l'idée de fou de Kyle MacDonald, 25 ans, de la rue Henri-Julien, à Montréal : la CBC radio canadienne, la radio NPR des États-Unis, le New York Times, le USA Today. Bizarrement, aussi, bien des médias norvégiens...
Dominique, à son chum :
«Raconte l'histoire du scénario...»
Et Kyle, timidement, raconte avoir été contacté «par un gars de L.A.» qui offre d'acheter les droits de son histoire, «pour en faire un film ou une série de télé».
Prêts à déménager
Présentement, Kyle possède ce qu'il appelle affectueusement un kit de fête : un baril de bière et une enseigne de Budweiser en néon. Il doit échanger ce kit de fête pour progresser, plus haut, plus loin...
Parmi les offres soumises : un ventilateur, une moto Honda 1981, des billets pour le Fiesta Bowl de football, un iPod, des photos de vedettes autographiées. «Je vais me décider d'ici le 1er décembre», promet-il.
À table, je riais comme un fou. C'est pas tous les jours qu'on rencontre des fêlés agréables comme Kyle MacDonald. Lui, il se donne jusqu'en juillet 2006 pour trouver un toit. Où ? Qu'importe, dit sa jolie Dominique. Ils sont prêts à déménager, sont pas regardants...
La grande tristesse de Kyle : «Je n'ai encore fait aucun échange avec des gens du Québec.
Avec ton papier, peut-être... «Le mot est lancé, Québécois-zé-Québécoises.
- Au fait, Kyle, pourquoi un trombone ?
Grand sourire du kid, qui répond dans son français cahoteux d'Anglo exilé dans notre coin du monde :
- Parce que c'est l'objet que j'avais dans la main quand j'ai eu mon flash !

la théorie vs la pratique
moi vs mon boss!
je comprends la theorie mais je ne vois pas la pratique.
mon boss n'a pas le temps d'etudier la theorie mais il peut deviner le cote pratique de la chose!
je vois la formule mathematique et le resultant qui en decoule: pour additionner, ca prend des 'adders', pour multiplier ca prend des 'multipliers', pour integratrer, ca prend des 'integrators'! c'est simple comme bonjour!
lui il se demande pourquoi on doit avoir ces composantes ... moi, je lui dis que ca vient de la formule ... mais il ne comprend pas ca! donc on a un probleme! a suivre ...

Nostalgie, quand tu nous tiens!
Apres le choc qui a suivi ma rencontre avec les dames mendiantes, je me retrouve de nouveau transportee en France, a Paris, au lycee Henri IV, l'autre jour en visitant les toilettes du faubourg sainte-catherine!
En effet, en fermant la porte, j'ai pu apercevoir des messages ecrits derriere la porte, ca m'a rappele mes beaux jours passes a Henri IV. Les etudiants de ce lycee d'art et de literature avaient la manie de marquer leur passage dans ces lieux par leurs pensees philosophiques et poetiques. Voila mon poeme prefere, qui se trouvait souvent derriere les portes:
"Il pleure dans mon cœur
Comme il pleut sur la ville ;
Quelle est cette langueur
Qui pénètre mon cœur ?
0 bruit doux de la pluie
Par terre et sur les toits !
Pour un cœur qui s'ennuie
0 le chant de la pluie !
Il pleure sans raison
Dans ce cœur qui écœure.
Quoi ! nulle trahison ? ...
Ce deuil est sans raison.
C'est bien la pire peine
De ne savoir pourquoi
Sans amour et sans haine
Mon cœur a tant de peine!"
-Arthur Rimbaud
A noter: une difference existe tout de meme entre les messages ecrits derriere les portes des toilettes du faubourg et ceux d'Henri 4! et elle est de taille! a Henri 4, on parle de poesie et de philosophie, alors qu'au faubourg, ce sont des insultes qui fusent de partout! et fait interessant, il y a meme des messages chretiens, ce qui serait impensable en France et qui constitue une pratique douteuse selon moi de la part des chretiens!

A noter: une difference existe tout de meme entre les messages ecrits derriere les portes des toilettes du faubourg et ceux d'Henri 4! et elle est de taille! a Henri 4, on parle de poesie et de philosophie, alors qu'au faubourg, ce sont des insultes qui fusent de partout! et fait interessant, il y a meme des messages chretiens, ce qui serait impensable en France et qui constitue une pratique douteuse selon moi de la part des chretiens!

du deja vu
on croirait a s'y meprendre que je suis a Paris ... samedi dernier, en marchant sur la rue Cote-des-Neiges, a la recherche du college Jean Brebreuf (qui, pour mon information personnelle, est situe sur la rue Cote Sainte Catherine!!!!) j'ai vu quelque chose d'etrange et de familier ... etrange parce qu'on est a Montreal, familier, parce que c'est la norme a Paris! J'ai vu un nombre effrayant de femmes (ok, 4 dames) qui viennent de l'Europe de l'est faire la manche, exactement comme dans les rues de Paris, avec cet air pitoyable, ces mots difficiles a entendre et cette insistance qui frole le harcelement ... c'est etrange! je ne sais pas quoi en penser!
a suivre ...

travail pour les beaux hommes!
Ils devraient tous se retrouver dans une banque!!!!!!!!! Ça rend les gens heureux!!!
J'ai décidé d'aller faire un tour à la banque, histoire d'éclaircir le mystère qui plane sur mon compte en banque quoi. En effet, le montant de mon compte baisse au lieu d'augmenter ... toutes sortes de scénarios me sont passées par la tête! j'ai soupçonné la compagnie de ne pas me payer (ridicule), j'ai pensé à des pirates qui auraient mis la main sur mon numéro de compte (on ne sait jamais), ou tout simplement moi, qui aurais dépensé l'argent sans m'en rendre compte (ce qui est grave!).
Bref, pour moi, c'est toujours un exercice mental éprouvant que d'aller à la banque car pour aller à la banque, il faut s'armer de patience! le service efficace, ils ne connaissent pas! comme quoi, les fonctionnaires ont de la concurrence solide!
Donc, je me résigna à cette tâche laborieuse ... je pris le chemin de la banque ... et je me mis en file ...
Après x minutes d'attente impatiente, quelle ne fut ma surprise de constater qu'un beau jeune homme m'indiqua la voie libre vers son espace. Et pendant une heure, on a parlé!
Je suis rentrée satisfaite même si le mystère n'est pas encore résolu! mais j'ai eu tout de même une petite pensée de culpabilité et de sympathie ... pour les autres personnes qui étaient restées dans la file à attendre ...

Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité?
Mon coeur est consterné de voir les jeunes des cités flamber tant de voitures, leur façon de cuisiner tout en couleurs pour exprimer leur désarroi, lancer leur cri de désespoir, de se faire entendre ou même de prouver leur existence!
Cette situation de marmite qui saute fait la manchette des journaux internationaux m'est pourtant familière! Depuis tout ce temps, la France n'a toujours pas réglé ce problème! Les choses deviennent de pis en mal!
Qu'as-tu fait là, ma France pour créer tant de haine, de rejection, de séparation, de méprise, pour ignorer tant de coeurs fidèles et admiratifs de la France?
Qu'es-tu devenue? Tu te perds... tu es en crise depuis si longtemps ... tu cherches à retrouver la puissance d'autrefois, la gloire passée? tu te perds dans la mondialisation, dans la communauté européenne, face aux Américains, face aux Chinois, une nouvelle star montante ... tu vois ce qui se passe chez toi? les différences qui ne cessent de se creuser entre les milieux, l'impossibilité de se comprendre, le mécontement qui augmente de tous les côtés, le doigt accusateur qui pointe les autres, les reproches qui tombent en flèches sur ces jeunes?
ma douce France, le cher pays de mon enfance ... où es-tu?

première neige!
La première tombée de neige est toujours la plus touchante, la plus merveilleuse et la plus précieuse (pour moi)! Surtout cette année où je l'ai vue du 22e étage et - elle n'a duré qu'une dizaine de minutes :)-!
Les flocons se battaient férocement contre le vent capricieux pour tomber mais malgré eux, ils étaient emportés par le courant puissant vers des directions et horizons incertains! (comme moi dans la vie:-)!)
Ainsi donc, le moment de magie est passé, la première neige est tombée!! C'était court mais intense ... et suffisant ... Alors, s'il vous plaît, soyez gentil monsieur l'Hiver, soyez court et rentrez chez vous vite! :-) vous viendrez nous rendre visite l'année prochaine!

soooooo cute!!
ce matin dans le train, j'ai été magnétisée par cette petite fille qui jouait ou plutôt qui donnait ses ordres à son papa. Elle était si mignonne et (hyper)active!! Elle bougeait de partout, élevait la voix et avait un superbe sourire ... qui ferait fondre le coeur de n'importe qui!!
Durant tout le trajet, elle a été l'attraction et le divertissement du monde autour d'elle. Je me demande si elle se rendait compte de son pouvoir d'attraction. Juste avant de sortir du train, j'ai appris que sa mère était japonaise et le père blanc (Québécois?). Elle est donc métisse ... ça explique des choses :)
Les rencontres de ce genre me mettent de bonne humeur! C'est fou comme les enfants ont le don de rendre les adultes heureux juste pour être eux-mêmes!

apartheid still exits ...
for the first time ever, i saw a lawyer eating at the caferia, but he sat alone at one table, while the regular clients of the place were at some other tables, far away from him! there is no mix, why is that? i don't understand. how can i change that?
the problem is that it's not just uni-directional but it's mutual. i tried to talk to them but they refused to talk back to me! that was long time ago though ... when i just arrived ...

l'avantage ...
d'être la seule chinoise parmi tant de blancs ... c'est de pouvoir reconnaître sans jamais me tromper mon sac en plastique parmi la foule de sacs de lunchs qui se trouvent dans le frigo! Tout simplement parce que mon sac est marqué de chinois!!HAHA, il fallait y penser, hein?!! Que suis-je chanceuse tout de même!
Ça fait des semaines que mon sac reste là! c'est à se demander pourquoi je prends la peine de me trimbaler avec de la nourriture que je ne mange pas de toute manière ... c'est peut-être ma contribution pour la diversité dans le frigo!!! :)
et oui, la diversité s'applique partout, cette toute nouvelle technologie qui m'a suivie tout au long de mes études en maîtrise!!!

il est permis de porter des jeans au travail et je l'oublie de le faire. comment cela peut se faire? c'est l'ironie de la vie ... je vais pleurer!!!!! je me suis toujours plainte du code vestimentaire et une fois qu'on me laisse «loose», j'en profite pas! quel gâchis de ma part, où ai-je la tête??

un commentaire venant de la part d'un de nos plus respectables avocats seniors:
ma femme est parfaite, je l'adore mais elle a un seul défaut: c'est qu'elle respire!

5 à 7 Halloween
je tiens à souligner que cette journée est spéciale ... et oui, finalement, pour la toute première fois de ma vie, j'ai gagné quelque chose à un party! un requin anti-stress signé BCF! Ça ne vaut pas cher mais c'est un début! À quand la loterie??!! :)
En parlant de Halloween, phénomène étrange qui se passe sous mon nez ... il y a à peine quelques années, Halloween est une fête destinée essentiellement aux enfants qui se déguisent et font la quête des bonbons ... Mais dernièrement, cette fête a pris des ampleurs insondables et la contagion aux costumes s'est étendue aux adultes ... qui prennent un plaisir fou à se déguiser et à se faire peur!!!
On dirait que toutes les raisons sont bonnes pour faire la fête et surtout des partys qui sortent de l'ordinaire mais je vois aussi, dans cette fête, une certaine attirance au monde des démons et au mal, un désir de les connaître et juste le fait qu'il ait un Peter Pan en chacun d'entre nous.

book review of the day
i just finished reading the Da Vinci code book. it took me a few months to get over it. that's right, to get over it. i don't understand why so many people have been so captivated by this book and why afterwards, they want to go to Paris.
After the "circuit Amélie Poulain", Paris has now the "Da vinci code circuit" for tourists! (*ridicule* -you don't sell Paris like that!-)
The book is written in such a way to take advantage of a good story line (but it gets heavy from time to time). The language is efficient to convey the actions and the story. That's all. It's not a piece of literature ... no time to develop more on this .... hihihi

une bataille de gagné!
my boss went all the way to Munich, Germany to defend his case : Ericsson vs. Université de Sherbrooke!!! and guess what?? We came out winners! (that's why i use "we" :-)). now, Ericsson has to buy a licence from our clients!! Who would have thought that Université de Sherbrooke would be that strong?! I was surprised until i was told that Nokia was behind Université de Sherbrooke ... that explains it!
But for me, the pictures of this wonderful castle impressed me the most from my boss's trip to Germany ... i think i can live there, don't you think ? :)
avancer à reculons ...
lunch chez Harvey's ... une bonne conversation autour d'un hamburger (meme si ce n'est pas le meilleur mais c'est un hamburger quand meme!!), ce fait toujours plaisir!
Notre conversation portait sur le progrès et sur les femmes ... peut-etre qu'elles devraient rester à la maison et élever les enfants comme dans le vieux bon temps ... peut-être que ce modèle engendrerait moins de problèmes dans notre societé ...
Est-ce cela le progrès? plus on avance et plus on veut être comme avant?

l'Actuel
un resto belge sympathique, avec un décor simple mais élégant.
pour 5 personnes, on a mangé et bu pour 200$. ça doit être le vin «côte du rhône» qui a coûté un peu cher ... j'ai pris une entrecôte bien cuite avec des frites (belges?). j'ai bien apprécié le morceau de boeuf.
De la bonne compagnie (en l'occurrence moi!), de la bonne bouffe, et du bon vin, que demander de plus???
J'ai juste un peu trop pensé au monde merveilleux des rêves après!!!!

«Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre»
Décidemment, La Fontaine était un sage. Finalement aujourd'hui, j'ai fait quelque chose qui ne m'était pas arrivé il y a une éternité, il me semble. J'ai eu le temps de manger un petit-déjeuner chaud à la MAISON! Quel luxe! C'est fou comme ma vie a été stréssée et surtout instable, il me semble que je n'arrêtais pas de courir et sans vraiment savoir pour quelles raisons!
Donc, ce matin, j'ai pris le temps de cuire du gruau et de le manger chaud ... bien entendu, je n'ai pas eu le temps de le finir (cela aurait trop beau!) et j'ai dû courir pour attraper le bus mais ça c'est une autre histoire!!
Et quelle surprise en arrivant au travail! Le soleil illuminait mon bureau! Dernièrement, le ciel affichait sa tristesse et se couvrait chaudement de ses nuages autout de lui, en vue de l'hiver qui s'approche à grands pas! Je ne peux pas lui en vouloir, je fais la même chose!!
Ça va être une bonne journée!!

A colleague of mine asked me where i would go for shopping clothes and added right after 'do you go to the kids' section'???
i knew he would say that!! He tried to put on my jacket ... qui ne pouvait aller plus loin que ses bras. He is an Obelix!!! What was he thinking?!!
This is my world ... a small girl surrounded by giants ... faut vivre avec !!!

la rapière
Un Britannique de passage chez BCF! Il a atterri a 22h00 et a ose louer une voiture et bien sur il s'est trompe de cote!!
On l'a invite a manger dans un restaurant francais, il semblait ne rien connaitre a la cuisine francaise ... du coup, il m'est devenu beaucoup moins sympathique! La dame, a cote de lui, a poliment demande ou l'on pouvait trouver un bon resto anglais. Et a mon collegue de repondre: la bouffe anglaise ca ne s'appelle pas la bouffe indienne?
je dois avouer que la nourriture a la rapiere a ete bien desagreable pour un restaurant qui s'affichait chic! et pour me racheter de n'avoir pas apprecie l'anglais a sa juste valeur, j'ai assiste a sa presentation! Quelle erreur impardonnable de ma part! Quelle souffrance j'ai subie!
Comme quoi, la vie est juste, toute chose a un prix a payer!

irony ...
for once, i decided to go home early, and i chose today ... but there was a problem on the highway 40 and it resulted in a huge traffic jam almost everywhere ... i had to wait for more than a hour for my bus to come and pick me up! I almost wanted to cry! Why is life so crual??
Oh well ... my mom is used to not see me anyways before 10 pm. so it was BAU (business as usual) ...

Exercice d'évacuation
En plein travail et en pleine concentration (enfin peut-etre pas ...) et l'alarme qui commence a sonner comme une fusee qui decolle! ca dechire les oreilles! Enfin, c'est un exercice d'evacuation, il faut suivre les directives ... tout le monde est sorti et gentiment on s'est dirige vers les sorties de secours ... Descendre 22 etages ne fut pas une mince affaire, il a fallu plus de 20 minutes pour le faire ... mais ce qui m['a marque le plus c'etait mes collegues, qui, eux, dans leur fuite, avaient intelligemment pense a emporter avec eux leur blackberry, pas moi. Ils envoyaient des courriels et appelaient des clients pendant la descente ... me laissant derriere eux a se demander quand on va se rendre en bas, les anti-sociables!!
Next time, i'll know!!!

beautiful Charlevoix
Wow, amazing! Nature is so grand! in times like that, i stay speechless and become again like a kid with eyes wide open! Just admire ...
I was there for 3 days, it seemed almost unreal, far from the civilization, from the pollution, the noise, the computer and the stores ... it was just enough :-)

petit train va aller loin ...
Le Canada compte 296 100 personnes de plus qu'il y a un an
La population canadienne au 1er juillet a atteint 32 270 500 personnes. Selon Statistique Canada, il s'agit d'une augmentation de 296 100 personnes en un an.
Ce rythme d'accroissement de 0,93 pour cent au cours de cette période est semblable à ce qui a été mesuré au cours des années 2002-2003 et 2003-2004.
Entre les 1ers juillet 2004 et 2005, le Canada a accueilli 244 600 immigrants, soit 5500 de plus que l'année précédente. Plus de la moitié de ceux-ci (53,2 pour cent) ont choisi l'Ontario comme province de résidence.
Probablement en raison de la hausse du prix du pétrole et de l'emploi dans les industries pétrolières, l'Alberta a été la province dont la population a crû le plus rapidement entre les 1ers juillet 2004 et 2005. Ayant affiché un taux de croissance de 1,62 pour cent, la population de l'Alberta a augmenté de 52 000 pour atteindre 3 256 800 au 1er juillet 2005.
Au cours de la dernière année, l'Alberta a accueilli 17 400 immigrants internationaux, un niveau qui n'avait pas été atteint depuis 1993-1994. De plus, la province a connu une forte croissance de son solde migratoire interprovincial qui a augmenté de 6000 personnes par rapport à l'année précédente.

Le discours du principal associé de BCF pour les 10 ans se finit comme suit:
vive la jeunesse, vive l'amérique, vive BCF!
il a semé le doute dans ma tête en insérant ces mots au milieu de sa phrase ... je ne suis plus sûre si je peux m'intégrer à sa vision des choses ...

question of the day!
Une amie m'a pose une question sur la Chine. Zut, ca commence mal ...
Qu'arrive-t-il aux parents quand la mere donne naissance a des jumeaux, selon la politique de natalite en vigueur en Chine? Y a-t-il une clause speciale dans ce cas-la?
Va savoir ... j'ai encore ete incapable de repondre a une question portant sur la Chine ... honte a moi! Une banane, je vais rester, comme le dirait Maitre Yoda!

massage time ...
tonight i treated myself to a "massage soiree". i tried the hot stone thing. it was supposed to make me relax but instead i felt stressed. she would grab my arm and try to pull it out, or chop my legs very hard, i never know what she would do to my body!
The stones were very hot and were placed on my back in order to soften it. I don't even remember if she massaged it ... i guess i was lost in my deep (or maybe not) thoughts ... i was thinking about the reasons why people like massage or consider it as one of the most "in" things to do. I don't really understand ... letting other people touch you! Definitely, i prefer to sleep :)
So, finally i woke up from my torpor and started a conversation with my masseuse. she is from Mexico, she loves to dance and dreams to find a nice and kind boyfriend, and wants to go back to school; i encouraged her on this latter matter.
And she gave me 15 minutes more of massage because had found me nice ... which was not necessary ...
My little sister wasn't impressed for a first time ...

Gloire à Dieu!
Ce week-end, je me suis évadée à la campagne, loin de la ville et du bruit. Respirer l'air frais, se promener dans le bois, écouter les oiseaux chanter et admirer les grands arbres qui percent le ciel me font vivre un moment de magie à la citadine que je suis.
Et le soir, me tordre le cou pour regarder le ciel étoilé, peuplé de lumière et de choses inconnues, il n'y a rien de mieux pour découvrir et reconnaître la majesté de Dieu. Dieu, que Tu es BON!
Et puis là debout au milieu de la nature, devant tant de beauté et d'immensité, je me demande pourquoi cet instant ne peut pas durer à jamais ...
Pourquoi le temps est-il toujours mon ennemi?

question du jour ...
voici un problème délicat:
Comment reconnaître une femme enceinte d'une femme tout simplement grosse? Y a-t-il un truc? car ce n'est pas toujours évident ... et la ligne n'est pas aussi simple qu'on peut croire ...
Ce dilemne devient intense quand je suis assise dans le métro ou train. Dois-je me lever pour leur laisser ma place? Mais laisser la place à qui? A la femme enceinte, oui mais pas à la femme dodue! sorry mais c'est comme cela ...
Mais en fin de compte, je me suis souvenue de la rèlge bénéfice du doute, quel concept injustifiable! Au moins avec ça, ça résoud mon dilemne mais ne répond pas à ma question...
je sais, ma vie est passionnante!

le 11septembre, 4 ans apres ...
on fête tout et rien et on se remémore de tout et de rien, et à plus forte raison au Québec ... alors je me souviens.
11 septembre 2001
19 kamikazes
4 avions détournés
2 tours
18 minutes
2986 morts
des milliards de dollars ..
Ce sont des faits, simples à retranscrire ... mais qu'en est-il de la souffrance, de la peur, des douleurs, des pertes, de l'enfer vécu? difficile à estimer ...
Cette journée a été marquante dans la vie de beaucoup de monde, je pense. Si on leur posait la question «que faisiez-vous ce jour-là?», ils sauraient répondre ...

Voici une vue PERSONNALISEE de la ville de Montréal à partir de mon bureau ... ce n'est pas aussi impressionnant que N.Y ou Paris ... mais je ne m'en plains pas. J'aimerais croire que je puisse dominer cette ville et marquer mon empreinte sur elle mais j'ai encore du mal a me faire a l'idee que je m'appartiens ici apres tant d'annees ... fait etrange ou suis-je etrange? ... comme quoi le premier amour ne s'oublie jamais ...
change ... is it good or bad?
a friend of mine saw me today and said i had changed ... he hasn't seen me for a while ... maybe about a month or two?
So, i asked him if i had aged. He said "of course not". Je défie le temps!
He couldn't tell me what had changed in me but there was something ... hope I have changed for the better ...
sometimes, i feel like i am a chameleon, trying to find its path in life and hiding its true nature ...

Merci qui? Merci Marine!
J'ai sauve une abeille cette semaine, aussi incroyable que cela puisse paraitre! En arrivant au bureau un beau matin, une abeille se jette sur mon bureau. Horreur! Je pousse un cri. Et puis, je regarde l'abeille bouger peniblement ... je remarqu'alors qu'elle boite! ce qui ne m'empeche pas d'avoir peur ... Que dois-je faire? il faut la sortir de mon bureau! Les mains tremblantes, je fais monter l'abeille sur un mouchoir et je sors dans le couloir en parlant fort: "qu'est-ce que je fais? j'ai une abeille"! Mon collegue m'ignore (ou plutot nous ignore, moi et l'abeille) puis passe une secretaire qui dit simplement: "moi, je l'ecraserai". Au son de ces mots cruels, je regarde precieusement mon mouchoir ou se perche mon abeille et je decide de lui donner sa liberte et dignite. Je prends donc l'ascenseur avec elle, on descend les 22 etages. Une fois arrivee en bas, je sors du building et je relache mon abeille dans la jungle! Avec un petit pincement de coeur, je remonte. Va-t-elle survivre? Saura-t-elle retrouver son chemin? J'aime a penser que oui mais rien n'est moins certain ...
Voila toute l'histoire de la visite d'une abeille dans ma vie!
La morale de l'histoire? tant qu'il y a de la vie, il y a de l'espoir!

how Chinese are you?
This week, one of my colleagues asked me if Fu Hui Jun was a girl's name or a boy's name. How to tell? I really want to know. Why are Chinese names so complicated??
That was the first question and he was disappointed that i couldn't answer it ... but that didn't stop him from asking me another question ... What's actually the family name?
because he saw people refering to her or him by Fu Hui Jun or Hui Jun Fu. I said it was Fu. This time, i did give him an answer :) ... how sure was I? huh ... i think we should stop here the question period. stop.

Séance de photo
for the first time, i went to a studio to have my picture taken. I had to go all the way to the Plateau to meet this nice professional photographer with a huge camera and smile. With lights everywhere, we started to shoot ... He made me pose and asked me to have a honest smile. That's important because as lawyers, we need to look *honest*, ha!
So, today for a moment, i felt like a model ... :)
Pictures to follow soon!

gala juste pour rire
voila donc, je suis allee a un gala juste pour rire hier soir, anime par Laurent Paquin, un humoriste que j'aime bien. C'etait drole mais long. Et oui, je deviens vieille ... j'ai mal a me concentrer ... et ca m'a coute 40$ mine de rien!
On a eu droit a Francois morency, Francois mascotte, Maxime Matte, Jean Marc Parent, Stephane Rousseau (pas pire), Guy Nantel (the best), Jean thomas (l'absurde) et un jeune. Le pire sketch etait presente par une femme, snif. Je n'ai rien compris a celui d'un handicape qui est venu faire son show. Enfin, le co-auteur de la serie des Bourgon y etait present aussi.
Les themes? la politique, la surconsommation, les policiers, les jeunes, les enfants, les revendications, les expressions francaises, etc.
j'aurai mieux fait de le voir a la tv!!!!!

Le petit Poisson et le Pecheur
Une fable que j'aime énormément! Carpe diem!
Petit poisson deviendra grand
Pourvu que Dieu lui prête vie;
Mais le lâcher en attendant,
Je tiens pour moi que c'est folie:
Car de le rattraper il n'est pas trop certain
Un carpeau, qui n'était encore que fretin,
Fut pris par un pêcheur au bord d'une rivière.
«Tout fait nombre, dit l'homme en voyant son butin;
Voilà commencement de chère et de festin :
Mettons-le en notre gibecière.»
Le pauvre carpillon lui dit en sa manière :
«Que ferez-vous de moi ? Je ne saurais fournir
Au plus qu'une demi-bouchée.
Laissez-moi carpe devenir :
Je serai par vous repêchée;
Quelque gros partisan m'achètera bien cher :
Au lieu qu'il vous en faut chercher
Peut-être encor cent de ma taille
Pour faire un plat. Quel plat ? croyez-moi, rien qui vaille.
- Rien qui vaille ? Eh bien ! soit, repartit le pêcheur :
Poisson, mon bel ami, qui faites le prêcheur,
Vous irez dans la poêle; et vous avez beau dire,
Dès ce soir on vous fera frire .»
Un Tiens vaut, ce dit-on, mieux que deux Tu l'auras;
L'un est sûr, l'autre ne l'est pas.

Spirite Lounge experience
Finally, i went to this gay village vegetarian restaurant last night. A friend recommended this place to me. It's weird ... the decoration comes from a dollar store, there is way too much stuff.
The rules are: we have to finish our plate, otherwise, there is 2$ charge and we can't have dessert and we are on their black list!
There is no menu, everybody gets the same food. It's a daring and cheap concept, i find.
we had a cold soup, make with orange, litchi, tomatoes, red pepper, almond and coconut milk and much more. There is no milk (because it comes from cows) and no eggs. Interesting.
i like the soup, since it was sweet. then we had crepes with all kinds of vegetables and fruits. it was good.
L. and A-T didn't like the place too much because they are not used to the mix of salt and sweet (veggies and fruits), but i like it ...
their mix is very interesting because they try to put so many ingredients together! but sometimes, it can be risky!
Last night, i ate a lot since i had to finish my portion ... there are 3 sizes: regular, reduced and kid's. We all had the reduced size ... couldn't take the risk of not finishing it... haahha ... i want to come back!!!!!!!!!

I miss you so much ....
Beautiful Paris!
this is
where i used to live ... 117 boulevard Richard Lenoir, Paris 11e, 5th floor, i think :)
travel back in time ...
My brother was in Paris last week and took those pictures ...
What a nostalgy! It was so long time ago ... Here are the schools i went to when i was in Paris. In the chronological order, primary school at Paris 10e, then Paul Brejat (Houilles), then Pihet Paris 11e, and finally College Beaumarchais, Paris 11e.
So many memories, so much fun and ignorance of the real world...

toilettes mixtes ...
this past Saturday, with some friends, we decided to go to the gay village to eat. we found a very nice terrasse, the view was amazing! it's called the sky pub, i had the sex on the beach cocktail and a hamburger. the food was just so so but it was expensive.
But, what we didn't expect was the mixed washrooms, girls can see guys doing their business. that's not fun. Lucky me i hadn't drunk too much so i didn't have to go to the washrooms ...
Then, we went to see the fireworks, it was Canada's turn to perform and illuminate the Montreal's sky! It was the first time that I saw Canada performing. Canada is always in the competition year after year but they never win ...
That night, i think their fireworks were fine but i have seen better finales.

I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, i think i found the love of my life :)
Yep, he is young, handsome, rich (i hope so), hot, flies high and is from LAVAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was watching the world aquatic competition today and Alexandre Despatie stole the gold medal at the 3m dive and dominated everybody else. To me, all the divings were the same but apparently he was the best and set a world record of more than 800 points.
Go Alexandre Go!!!! muahhhhhhhhhhhh

Chinese medecine ...
I am amazed ... I went to see a Chinese doctor today. What he said was so true and i hadn't told him anything ... he was just taking my pulse ...
the problem is that i have to drink the medecine, all those herbs, which taste awful!! it's always a nightmare for me ...
Of course, while i was waiting for my medication, 2 ladies were trying to guess my age, their guess??? 16 or at most 18!!! they are so off ... even though they are Chinese ... How come am i so deceiving?
Nobody can ever guess my age!!!
Action time!
That's what i saw yesterday night, just down my place! I thought somebody hit it ... I was so excited! I thought i was right at the heart of the action!! Finally, something happens in Laval (not just thieves breaking through our store)!!!! but no, they were just cleaning the whole system or something .... Ah, what a waste of water!

huhh??? (bis)
Last night, i went to see my Cisco teacher in order to ask him to activate the exams that i had missed.
During the conversation, he asked me if i was Chinese, i said yes and then he added "are you sure???"
huhh? i paused, then i said "yes -- why"
he answered " just like that "
i didn't insist ... but man, it doesn't make me feel good!!! My teacher is Mexican, what does he know about the Chinese people and why did he assume that i wasn't Chinese???!!!!
Am i that non-Chinese that even other people can notice it????

Another weird interview!
This morning, despite my sickness, i went to my interview. I did my job the night before, i located the company with google map. It was very close to my home. So, i decided to take the bus.
I don't know why but the bus was very late ... so late that i couldn't wait for it, so i called a taxi ... then another taxi passed by, so i jumped into it ... i was sorry for the other taxi! Wonder what happened? Did the driver curse me??
The taxi dropped me near the building, and left very fast. I never found the never given to me. So, I called the company. OOOPS, i had the wrong address! When the lady said Chomedey, i thought of the boulevard not the autoroute!!!
So, i had to go home and take the car or call my dad to pick me up ... in the middle of this decision, a friend from HK called me. We talked about my problems!!! I was on the street not knowing where to go!!! hahahaha. Hope he is doing ok, i didn't have time to ask him! Finally i found the company ... i was late by one hour!!! They were waiting for me outside the building!! shame on me!!!
They asked me a lot of questions about the company and the position, which i had no idea! Hope i was vague enough ... hihihihi ...
The conclusion of the story? I don't know Laval, my city! arghhhhhhhh!!

the c onsequences of being ... greedy!
two years ago, when we moved to our appartment, my mom asked my brother (since he is older) which room he wanted , a bigger one or a smaller one. He said : " let my sister choose first".
So, my mom asked me. And of course, as sincere as i am, i said i wanted the big room for me :)
This room is amazing, in Winter time, it's the coldest room, in Summer time, it's the hottest one!!! It's like a furnace now! I am boiling!!!!
That's the price to pay!

Men will always be men!
In my class, there are about 20 men ... As we were setting up the routers, we have to enter a password ... just for the fun of it, someone asked who had put his girlfriend's name as password. Most of them raised their hand!
Argh! *sigh* ! how original are they!?!!!

depanneur's stories
today, i had some interesting customers ...
the first one is a very tall guy. his height is 6'8 and he is as skinny as a stick! that was impressive and somehow not that nice to see, because it is so unusual! he should eat more ... that's what i wanted to tell him but i refrained myself.
the second one is a don juan. every time he comes, he brings a new and beautiful girl with him. i wonder where he goes to find them. he's been our customer for 3 years now. the first year, he came with a car, the second year with a motocycle and now with a bike!!!
the third one is an old lady who wanted to buy a playboy magazine!?! she doesn't even know what it is. i had to find it for her ... and she wanted them all!! no comment.

wait , wait and wait ...
yesterday, it was just about waiting ... therefore, i missed my class ... my plans never work out ... i am tired of planning things ... hey, Fido laid me off! i am no more a (network) planner!
i waited for my friend to come to pick me and another friend up. there was an accident, we were stuck in the traffic on the way to pick someone else up. the distance could have been done in 5 minutes in normal conditions ... we had to wait for about 40 minutes or more ... then, we had to wait for the third person to dress up because i had forgotten to tell her that she was coming with us ... it took more than 15 minutes ... finally, we had to decide where to go ... and i guess at the end, the less patient person in our group made the decision alone ... we ended up in a very nice and fancy sea food restaurant ... we ordered fresh fish (and the less expensive one) ... so we had to wait even more for them to cook it ... by the time we finished, my course was over!!!!
in terms of planning, i was almost 3 hours behind my initial schedule ... i have poor planning skills ... ah

Carmen under the stars
as a friend pointed it out, it would have been more appropriate to say -Carmen under the clouds- !!
For its 25th anniversary, the opera de montreal presented Carmen outdoors for everybody. it was a premiere ... it was cool. The opera was very lively, the actors were super good and the songs were amazing.
But the feeling is different though when i see it for real compared to when it's projected on a huge screen. Still, last night's performance was worth it.

The procedures were very fast because i just had to pay!!

rock climbing
on friday, i went rock climbing with a bunch of friends. i am scared of heights, i was hoping that i could master my fears ... the fist wall was scary but i did go all the way to the top! After climbing 4 walls, i was so tired! it was fun and exciting though!
now i am a monkey princess :)
But the next day, i was so sore! especially my arms, because i didn't use my legs to push me but i was pulling with my arm!! or maybe i am just out of shape .... So, even brushing my teeth became a challenge to me!!! my arms hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who to blame?
this morning, i took the bus to go to school. it was a hot day so i opened the window and i closed my eyes. after getting off, a lady came to me and told me that i was selfish to have opened the window because some other people might not have liked it, i was selfish because i didn't consider other people's opinion, i was just thinking about myself!
my first reaction was to say sorry ... i think i am well too conditioned because i didn't feel sorry at all at that moment. I said sorry out of politeness not of sincerity.
I wasn't convinced at all by her arguments. she blamed me out of her own selfishness!!! she didn't want to have the wind on her face! I could have told her the same lines: it's such a hot day, some people feel hot, you should have opened the window! don't be selfish and just think of yourself!
When, i opened the window, another lady came to sit beside me and enjoy the wind ( at least, that's what i think!)
Do to others what you want others to do to you, that's the motto for a free and democratic society. And that applies to you too my lady!!!!!! and me ... so we have a problem here ... because there would be always one side that won't be happy!

mission impossible!
a friend of mine is going to China to visit another friend who's studying Chinese there. her Chinese is so good now ... i feel ashamed of myself!
anyways, i wanted to buy something for my friend to bring it to her. naturally, i wanted to purchase something that was not "made in China". It turned out to be not an easy task! i had to go to many stores ... finally went to Carlton to buy some notebooks and books and to Bureau en gros for some pens and crayons. The notebook is Canadian and costs 6$ but it looks the same or maybe worse than those notebooks in dollar stores. How come it's so expensive when Canada has so many trees????
The rest is American. I try to boycott them ... but that's hard too! AH! Life is challenging!

mondays ... just hate 'em!
again, i had a weird interview! this interviewer wasn't looking at me at all. i felt as if i was talking to a wall. couldn't see his reactions at all! he was like a robot! it made feel me uncomfortable. after the interview, he gave me a real description of the position. that's so unfair because he asked questions about this position during the interview! oh well!
in the metro, i was so absorbed into the job description that i had no idea what i was doing and when i woke up (from this torpor), i realized that i had lost my cellphone and the gift given by my friend just an hour ago!!
i was panicking because the cellphone wasn't mine! anyways, i called myself and a nice lady answered me. She found my cellphone, i'll get it back today, hopefully! i need to trust people, lol.
After that, i went to the new bibliotheque nationale du quebec, it's huge, big, and full of people, it has 4 floors, in a brand new building ... it's big for North Americans, but i find it's still small compared to le centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
I had to wait for 1.5 hours to get my membership, then i found out that the 4 floors are closed on Mondays :(!! and it was pouring outside... and i had no umbrealla ...

Discrimation!
I can't believe those Americans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because he is a very new Canadian citizen and that he doesn't have a job nor relatives in Canada, the American customs didn't allow my friend to cross the border!
There is matter for complain! and I need to boycott more American products!

small things ...
my voice is getting more and more similar to my mom's on the phone ... even my dad can't tell the difference! It's been a while that each time, people (relatives and friends), who call, think i am my mom or vice versa!
I want to be unique!!!!
Maybe it's just my phone that is getting old! :)
For the first time, this week, I ordered some ribs to eat! It never happened before! What's wrong with me?
My vegetarian trends are fading away!
I have developped more and more habits. Can't live without them! I need 2 big mugs of tea every morning!
I started to play games on my cellphone when i take the metro. I scream when i lose ... and it happens a lot of times! People think i am crazy ... I killed the first boss in the game because it got stuck! Lucky me! Those game programers never thought about that casse i bet!
I hate people who mow their garden early in the morning! they make a hell of noise!!!

Pessah!
Before I forget i have to write it down!
This Sunday, our church invited a messianic Jew to give us a presentation on the rituals of the Pessah Supper. It was very interesting as everything that God had commanded them to do, more than 3000 years ago, were a symbol to Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. It's amazing how this Supper is relevant in the light of the New Testament. It's too bad that the Jews don't know the NT and that the Christians don't really practice the OT's rituals!!! OT and NT complement each other!
The unleavened bread is pierced and has stripes, it represents the body of Christ. There is an extra cup and chair around the table, because they are waiting for Elie (Elijiah) to come first before the return of Jesus Christ.
Jesus didn't watch his hands before the Supper because He is Holy and clean and without sin. That was interesting to notice.
What else?? Some days before Pessah, they have to take a lamb of 1 year old without any default and it has to stay 4 days in the house, so that the father can examine it and after 4 days, he can declare the animal to be without any default.
Well, Ponitus Pilate, declared Jesus to be without fault after the trial :) Jesus is perfect and was the lamb to be sacrificed for our sins!

i am still a baby ...
This Sunday, one of my friend was so surprised when she touched my hands. My skin is so soft, like a baby. She couldn't let go of me. She even put my hands on her face!!
I never realized that my skin was that soft! BTW, it's all natural, laa!

ah girls ... !
I've been watching 2 Japanese anime series. The main character of both series are female and actually they have the same kind of personality! They are LOUD, they get angry very fast, they are VIOLENT, they eat a lot, they are not too smart, they are STUBBORN. However, all the men like them!
What's wrong with the Japanese to portray women like that???!!! Our society is changing ... Women are much more aggressive! I am glad I am not a man, hahahaha

Happy Mother's Day!!!!
I have to say it ... my mom is the Best-EST one! I have no other words to express it! hihihi!!! She loves me soooooooooooooo much! I know life is unfair, and that's the proof. i have the best mom of all :)
I bought her wine (and another one for me, but that's another story!) and wanted to invite her to a restaurant. But she refused! She just doesn't want to go out to eat. She is so used to her own food ... but also because i am not working right now, so she doesn't want me to spend too much money. She is so great! But it's only once per year ... anyways i couldn't convince her!
So, i had a free evening and i decided to go out and brush up some skills ... I feel i am so slow when i walk. I want to pick up some speed ... i don't have money to buy a car, i don't have a licence to drive a moto and my bike got stolen ... so the only thing left was my rollerblading shoes.
So, tonight, i decided to go out rollerblading and explore my neighborhood. I don't like Laval but i can learn how to like it. I saw nice houses with Greek flags since this is the Greek area. i was surprised to see One Canadian flag, i guess that person had to remind himself that he lives in Canada! I found out a park!!! Yes, that's the first park i've seen!!
It felt so good to have the whole big street just for me :) With my arms, in horizontal position and the wind blowing behind me, i felt like i was flying (i.e. in Titanic, hihihihi). I saw the sunset too, the trees were colored in red and yellow, like in Fall ... it was beautiful, beyond description ...
After all, Laval is not bad ....
