Chapter Thirty Three: Today, It's my Birthday...

If there was a day to celebrate, I think I would choose the day of birth.
I could extrapolate about it, but I won't.

My birthday is, mostly, years after years, a shitty day.
I guess I let it happen that way.
This year was no exception.
It went from really shitty to better.
That's new.
But I did accomplish some important stuff, so after all, it wasn't that bad.

I feel what the Brazilian call saudade, if I am not mistaken.

Enfin, things could definitely be worst.
I think I start stressing about my trip back to Canada.
Bah, things will be what I make of them!

Here is a recent shot that my wife took for new years eve.

Voila, that's all folks!
Have a good one.

  8. Thank you Aaron.
    You know what?
    You are the nicest man on Earth.
    I swear it's true.

    I love you deeply.
    I mean that.

    I'll see you in Feb.
    I will be in Canada only for a week or so, but I will make sure to spend time with you.
    Then, I'm going to france for few weeks.
    Then back to canada for a year.
    I need a job btw.
    :D
    Are you guys hiring?
    I'll take anything!
    :D
    Much much much love to you and Laura and Roland.

  9. MM is hiring, but I'm sure you wanna do something else!

    I know how you feel about birthdays. I am always desperately miserable on mine. Even when I try to have a good day, the best I can ever hope for is that it's tolerable enough that I can get through it as fast as possible and have no expectations and thus no let down.

  10. We may just be hiring when you get back! I'll keep you in the loop :)

    All the best to you and Sil!

    Love, Aaron, Laura and Roland (Lupe too)

  11. Hey Athanasia.
    :)

    Yea, I will try to avoid working for MM.
    But it's good to have options.
    Thing is, MM are always hiring.
    Not a very good sign.
    Oh well... :)

    It was the last year I didn't have a good birthday.
    Next year, party time!

    Take great care of yourself.

  12. Awesome!
    I will be definitely back at the end of march.
    I think I'd like to work for your company.
    Most definitely interested.

    :)

    I hope all is good for you guys.
    Check my blog of the 7th, it made me think of you.
    A lot.

    Kiss Laura for me, and rolland, and of course Lupe.
    BTW, she is obviously still with you. :)

    And, you guys are moving soon I believe.
    Soon.
    February if my memory's still good.
    What's the plan?

    Love
    Serge

  13. Haha, I just commented on the post actually! Let's bake some bread together when you get back!

    I couldn't find Lupe, but I've passed on your love to both Laura and Roland :)

    The lease is up at the end of Feb, but we're going month-to-month until we find a place we really love. Hopefully in Fairfield!

  14. OKay, let's do it
    :D

    :D, awesome!
    Lupe hiding under the bed :D

    Cool!
    Fairfield's cool.

    Price of living are simply outrageous in BC, sadly...
    I started to look a little to have an idea, and frankly, it is unacceptable.

    Anyway, I'll live in Esquimalt I think.
    I don't want to work just to pay the bills anymore.
    I just go nowhere in life if I do that.
    it's so straight forward. :D
