Zeitgeist


For those who haven't seen yet the movie "Zeitgeist", I wanted to let you know about it and strongly encourage you to watch it. It can only make us question and positively challenged our constructed beliefs as well as what we consider being reality and "the truth"...

Pour ceux qui n'ont pas encore vu le film "Zeitgeist", je voulais vous mettre au courant et vous inviter à le regarder. Ce film ne peut que nous interpeller et avoir le potentiel de remettre en question de façon positive et constructive nos croyances toutes faites et ce que nous prenons pour réalité et "être la vérité"...

"Lorsque que le pouvoir de l'amour triomphera de l'amour du pouvoir, le monde connaîtra la paix".

Visit to Seattle

My few days in Seattle were very fullfilling! Every minute of my time was scheduled, which made me feel like a business woman but I enjoyed every minute of it! John was very sweet to
throw a party at his house and it was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with people I had not seen since I left last August. It was wonderful to be back to a familiar place and realizing how many wonderful people I know there. I guess leaving helps one to better realize and appreciate what you had ...




Carole and some of her favorite tall dudes! (Clay, John and Derek) :) John had a party theme, which involved taking pictures with every male friend that was present. I'm not quite sure yet what the message was behind it but the party was lots of fun!!







Carole trying out Derek's shoes, size 18! Big sexy huge boats worn with Courtney's dress.











Diane and Courtney preparing some yummy food for the joy of everybody!










Courtney, thanks to whom I was able to look more dressy for the party. The air line company had lost my luggage on the way in and back ;(





Emily who made an amazing Paëlla dish! I'm so looking forward to attending the wedding this summer! I'm crossing my fingers to be able to return to Seattle for this very special occasion!!






Thank you to all of you guys for coming to the party and making the evening such a wonderful and memorable time! I should be back another time to Seattle in the next few months so I could catch up with those that I did not get the chance to see then or spend much time with. Next time, I'm planning to stay at least for 2 weeks in order to be more relaxed, less rushed and enjoy Seattle a bit more.

Back to the top floor and Seattle!

I'm finally moved out of my basement and all moved in into my top floor apartment! It reminds me of my old apartment in Seattle where I lived for almost 10 years! I can finally see again the sun, the moon, the snow falling ... ! It's a new world of light and life again! It will definitely improve my overall moral and hopefully motivates me to study harder! So, the invitation is out, I have a comfortable place to host those of you who are interested to visit!

Few weeks ago, I was so home sick that I booked a flight to Seattle and I'm going back next week for a short visit. I'm so looking forward to the familiar and be with people I feel comfortable with and with whom I can be myself, especially goofy as much as I want to be! :) Unfortunately, since I'm only staying a long weekend I won't be able to see everybody but I should be back in July so I can catch up with the ones I haven't see then then.
