the real vancouver...

no, actually there is not one real vancouver. the new. the glamorous. the rich. the sporty. the kind. the multinational. the gourmet. the art-loving. the poor. the homeless. the old. the dirty.

i don't know, don't you think any city in the world is kind of a mixture of all these? wait a minute, then every city in the world would be the same, right? but they are not. hmmm. it's been a while since i've been back home. let's see how many more entries will be on the lovely city...

ok let's cheer things up a little.

here's a tough one: can you guess where this photo was taken? hint: it's the same city where the last photo was.

i probably will be away for about one week starting from monday. i'll catch up when i come back. more promises to keep, right? until then, take care and have a nice weekend everybody!

p.s.: my mother contacted the publisher and it's still not clear if they are going to republish the book. for free of course. we'll see that later. ok i'm stopping now because i feel the anger creeping. grrrr.

happy news with sugar on top

i just got the news that my mom's book has been published! yayyyy! i'm really happy for my mom, she did it again!

i wonder how it really turned out. the thing is; we are living in separate cities. i don't want her to be bothered with sending some copies via cargo. she could have sent me some photos if she had a digital camera, but she doesn't!! i am sooo curious. she says the cover, the inner drawings, the paper, the print are really nice and she is very satisfied with everything, but you know how moms are... i think i'll have to wait until the publisher sends some copies to the bookstores here in my city (did i say my city? let's say 'the city i live in'.) pleeease mr. publisher, send them quick!! oh, and i'll link when it is on the internet, too.

please buy a copy if you have access to it. you know how it looks;) don't forget to comment here. my mom and i will be super happy. oh, and they give a bonus bookmark with it, too. yippi!
