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!

Another chance?

I gave camping another chance, and the same thing happened again, it rained like crazy, it was pouring all day and night. Conclusion? I bring the rain with me!! So next time, if you want to go camping, don't invite me to come along :)!

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.

hantise

depuis que je travaille dans ce cabinet, je vois des cravates partout ... et surtout celles de mon patron ... elles sont si sensationnelles, vraiment belles! c'est la première fois que je m'en aperçois ... je me demande comment il fait pour les choisir ... car elles sont trop géniales ...avec tous ces motifs à la fractale ... ça me donne envie d'en porter une aussi! un jour peut-être ... à l'halloween ?!

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!

My first kimono!!

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...

i got a job!

after three months, i finally got an offer from this law firm. so, i have to say bye bye to laziness and day dreaming habits now ... hihihi ... i will be working besides lawyers and i need to dress well ... ah! that's scary.
i will have to write a lot ... wonder if i will really like the job. will see.

Thank you God! :)

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.

Citizens of this country, let's do our duty ...

and go to vote to the World Stupidity Awards!!

it's serious business, you have to be professionally stupid :)

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

incroyable mais vrai!!!

in one day, tons of Harry Potter books were sold worldwide ... Mrs. Rowling made 36 million that day!!

How does she do that???

life is unfair ...

it's a mystery ...
