It's TOO cold for that

Everyday I walk to and from work. I usually walk along maisoneuve to work then along st. catherine on my way home. One day i was on my way home and passed American eagle and in the window their mannequin was dressed in shorts and a tube top! This is early January. I was outraged for 2 reasons
1.) It was as if they were trying to remind me that in 3 weeks many students will be off to hot places for reading week and i won't be one of them

2.) I know in fashion it's important to be a head of the game but I can't imagine that putting out summer clothing in the start of january is really going to attract cutomers.
When i get my pay check i spend my money on sweaters and wool socks

I've started walking home on maisonneuve

Photograpy at it's best!

Good day everyone,

First week of January, I was suppose to attend my friends wedding in the Caribbean but health issues held me back. I was on Facebook this week-end and I took a look at her pictures. All I have to say is the pictures were very nice she looked elegant and the scenery was spectacular. I wish I could of partaken in such a joyous event. I like the fact that the photographer did not just take random pictures, it was displayed like a story. I always enjoy looking at pictures even if I don't personally know the individuals. I took a photography class a while back but I didn't enjoy it. I hated all the work I had to do but for some reason, I truly enjoy the site of a photo. So let me talk about this photographer. The photographer was very creative from start to finish. He begin with a photo of the wedding dress excluding the bride and ended right at the hall with the bride releasing the bouquet. He makes you feel like your watching a story without words. The ingenious layout and precise imagery will get me to use him for my wedding one day. So I would like to share my friends photo's @ the following link http://www.bmkphotoblog.com/ BTW, their is more than one wedding posted. The first one is the right one. Scroll down to the end of the first wedding photo's to view the slide. Enjoy!Looking forward to your feedback! :)

A Sad Story

I was reading a story on CNN couple day ago while at work. I was really troubled and saddened by this article. A man and his wife were terminated from there job, and Mr. Ervin Lopoe decided to first kill his wife and 5 children before taking his own life. Eldest daughter of age 8, first set of twin’s were 5 yrs old and the last set of twins were 2 yrs old. I just find it sad and disturbing that he felt like there was no option’s such as family, friends or even community assistance. I’m from a family of seven and I could relate to the tough times and challenges a large family can be faced with. I feel sorry for the family and friends and I’m saddened that he blames his former employer’s for the situation he was in. I hope this story will help anyone out that feels like their options are limited during trying times with or without financial constraints and employment difficulties, I’m sure we have all been placed into situations were we felt like our option have been limited. I know by reading this I’m happy to know that if I ever get into financial difficulties, close family and friends are just around the corner. If you get a chance, read this article in the link below;

A car accident ...

Never thought it could happen to me . It was scary and horrible thinking that i might died or that my life will be over in the next few seconds . I remembered all my life's good and bad moments ; 20 years an 20 seconds. Fortunately and luckily i survived that terrible car accident .

“ I'm very high class, which means I charge by the hour, and I charge a lot. ”

She is Hannah by day and Belle by night. "Secret Diary of a Call girl" chronicles a high-class hooker from London dealing with her double life. Belle is played by Billie Piper who delivers a witty and entertaining view to the adult industry. The series is based on the memoir "The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl" by Belle du Jour. I recently got introduced to the series and I'm absolutely hooked. If you don't mind a little vulgarity, you should definitely check this show out. Although she is a callgirl, Belle still gives a sense of relativity towards the viewer in her daily life.
You can watch the trailer for show at...

I also fell in love with the Secret Diary soundtrack which offers a variety of music from indie rock to vocal jazz. Among the songs I found familiar favourites such as,"You Know I'm no Good" by Amy Winehouse and "Gimme,Gimme,Gimme" by Abba. I also came across a few new songs that I can't get enough of like,"Adventures of Solitude" by The New Pornograpers. You can check out the playlist for free on imeem at ...
