.

D-8

I just received a mail from my 'step sister/ex housemate' who sent me pics and confirmation letter that i m actually gonna make that cruise on the carribean, that s right.
Even better to have that news today since it s raining today in Dublin as usual. She told me where i have to wait, how it s going to work, which Terminal I have to wait: Port Everglades, Pier 19, Carnival Liberty. Like u can see on the pic, i will wait here at the bottom right of the picture, not like the others passengers, no because i m 'special' i will wait where the future employees have to wait, so no queue for me excuse me ;)

she sent me as well a picture she took from the boat, the morning before the boat went back to Miami, she had night shift, so it s early in the morning, but i think the pic is great!

That s it for now, i might go to a pub to see the game with ireland and france, I dont understand why they dont publish the game on tv, maybe because they are ashame of ireland who lost already the competition and because they dont like the french because we beat them twice already. We ll see. Anyway 8 days people!!!!!!!!

Thursday offsite

Thursday fun, with the team we went to Alsaa. Half of the group were golfing.

100_2596.JPG

Well some of us never played golf so it was quite funny, we did not manage to hit the ball the first... several times... but we finally put the ball on the dedicated hole with the Red flag. Before that we need a little bit of training

100_2599.JPG

Some of them had a very fashionable way to play golf like the Italian way with Roberto talking on the phone while hitting the ball:

the italian way

During that time the other group was playing bowling, as u can see on the pic Momo can not stop making face on picture.... never

Momo and Sven

After sport it was time to celebrate our very tough day, so time to cheers up with a drink, following by food and good desert

Cheers

After the Diner it was time for Karaoke, I thought that nobody will come to sing... but we got more than 10 songs, and almost 2 hours of karaoke!!!!!
Here the Gerdinator and the Gerdinatorinos for a special version of 'My way'

The Gerdinator and The Gerdinatorinos

And we finish by the real kind of version of my way with the entire team

All the team

Of course videos on utube will come shortly..... ;)

How is to work at....

Publish 4 days ago... it seems really cool to work for that company.... lucky people ;)

An other day in Dublin

Today it was a sunny day... strange, so what did I do, well I went to a cinema instead of enjoying the sun. However i took my jeep to go to the cinema to enjoy a minimum of sun anyway.
I saw first "evening' with Claire Danes, it was nice, not a fantastic movie, but i like movie which give flash back to the 70 s with costume and habits of this time.

And then I saw 'superbad' which is not superbad but not supergood either!

And then I saw "i pronounce u chuck and larry', it was funny, not hilarious but funny.

Then i went back home with my heavy bagpack because i did a little bit o shopping, was a little bit scared to go back on my bike because of last week, and i did not have my toilet paper on it, but it was sunny and still early on evening so did not met again that bastard (it is his fault btw if ireland lost against france yesterday, he should not have hurt me).
Since i m talking about the rugby.... OMG, yesterday i went to see the match at the pub called Smyths next to where i m living and i was one of the two french in the pub. I don t know if u imagine irish people in a bar supporting their team while drinking, they re pretty heavy on the number of liters they will drink during the night so pretty noisy as well of course.
So imagine when France put the first try, well because it was strangely calm and quiet and I was not watching the TV at the precise moment... it took me a minute to figure it out that they made a try, of course my first reaction was to jump and applaused.... OMG, I never ever heard and saw a crowd of irish people in a bar so....... quiet it was unbelievable!!!!! So of course we won, and trust it s been the most quiet nite in an irish bar, fortunately i came back home safe ;)






OMG, leave Britney alone,

I m sure everybody already saw that video on utube but come on, i had to put it on my blog. seriously.... Leave Britney Alone!!!!!! It is HI-LA-RIOUS, I m really sorry for this person... I mean the owner of that video.


Oh i forgot something

By the way, I remove my wordpress blog cause i was not happy with it, so i m just going back to blogger, much better.
For those who wants to learn French:


sunday sucks

Ok this morning did start ok, even though i did not sleep well yesterday, after studying I wen to see a movie Disturbia (ok) and Atonement (ok), on my way back a f@!%^ bastard drove into me and bycicle so I fell on my back fantastic, however my bicycle is perfectly fine.
So i m too tired to finally talk about my trip in Seville the best thing is to go to my flickr to see the pics.
Now i m gonna try to sleep a little bit, my back is quite painful actually , ouh i m so angry, oh did i tell that the guy instead of stopping by to look after me insulted me and drove faster!!!!!!!
Yeah that s right, I hope France is gonna beat Ireland this Friday ;)

The Friday Team

Here we are, end of the month of august, the weather still sucks in ireland, it s between sunny and rainny but mostly rainny anyway. But who cares i m going to Sevilla in 3 days.... that s right. My suitcase already have flip flops ready, sunscream, swimsuits, stuff that u dont wear here ;)

Anyway, friday it was time to party, diner to John s place. Spanish, French, Portuguese, Australian, a god mix, nice food, fantastic ice cream as u can see with the following pics ;)

The Friday Team

The Tour of Ireland

After the Tour de France here is the Tour of Ireland, oh i m sure it s less hard the Tour de France just because of the montains, they are definitively smaller here, however with the irish rain it might me tough to not fall and hurt urself unless ur used to it.

200 m

Anyway because of the competition, no bus so i walked to go downtown in order to find a ping pong racket but no luck instead, i got a ...bycicle, that s right, and for 100 euros so cheap and so cool.

My new bike

So i went home with it ;) it was not too far...

Almost there...

In overal, a nice weekend ;)

Dun Lairy

What a sunny day today, probably because it was the Festival of World Cultures, so the warm countries Mexico, Africa.. brought with them a little piece of sun... how nice they are.

So what happened today, well first of all I went to Blackrock with Rebecca, Miguel and Xavier for a lunch to Cristina and José'sflat, it was good, we got some yummy 'salchichons' and tortillas.

Miguel y Rebecca

After a pretty heavy one, we went to Dun Laoghaire, and when i hear people making fun of our french weird vocabulary well let me say that this one is kind of strange right, why do they write it like that if they prononce it Don Lairy c'mon. Anyway we went there for the Festival, it was really cool. We met some Googlers. Meet John our Fashion and proud to be a noogler ;)

The Fashion Googler

So music was there, food was there from India, Japan, Mexico, it was nicely smelly and we met some funny and some strange people.
Meet the El Grande Maestro

Maestro....

Hablo espanol? Un poquito. Estan los Mexicos ;)

They brought the sun from Mexico

Or if u speak chinese... well if u want some peace and quiet time to meditate then u should have been there

Peace... people....quiet!

To finish this wonderful afternoon we went to The Big Wheel with Emily who went back from vacations with a fresh haircut. The view from the Wheel were pretty cool. Here is my favorite picture from today, in case if u re looking for the others go check out my flickr

La Grande Roue

TGIF

Friday... what a beautiful day, not just because it is the weekend, but also because we had a very sunny day... unbelievable for Ireland. Hopefully the weather will stick like that tomorrow... please, at least the afternoon when i will go to the festival of Dun Laoghaire, I m not sure i wrote it down properly ;(

Ok, i know it s been a while since i did not update my blog, i m trying hard to keep my french one update so the english is coming after ;(

Still in Dublin, it s day 3 WITHOUT rain within the past 2 months which is absolutely horrified for a period of time we re supposed to call "summer"... that s right somebody stole the sun here.

Anyway, still busy working and working, passing certifications and stuff, working hard. Can t wait september where i m going in Sevilla with work for 3 days, finally we ll have some sun, then the 13th of October i ll in the Liberty, on a cruise through the Carribean that s right, will spend a couple of days before in Miami, oh yeah, hope i ll have as much fun as possible!!!!!

I am so frustrated, i went to see Die hard 4 and when i came back some bastards had stolen my bycicle, i mean there were hundreds of bycicle why mine? 7 years ago it was my car now my bicycle i am so upset now. it was not a good week really, now i dont even wanna go out tonight arffffffffffffff so not fair!!!!! OMG I can t wait for my vacations in september!

Bizarre le velo

In memory of my bicycle, i took this guy with this weir one, well it was before they stole mine ;((((

Monday sucks

yeah yeah I know, i m not a morning person nothing, especially since i started again my treatment for these f.@!@ing migraines, when i wake the morning i feel like i spent the entire night drinking, yeah. Anyway, to make a quick summary of my weekend, well i went to Bray on saturday with my pal, and we saw dolfins... yeah u heard me in Ireland, they re probably lost, poor things. Then we saw roughly 60+ swans very hungry, my friend gave them some bread, i took the pics.... scary animals!!!!!
101_2092.JPG
Anyway, i went to a housewarming party on saturday night, it was quite funny, my friend put the worst french songs we have from the 80-90 s it was hilarious, we drunk Ricard (my favorite french loacal type of drink) and ate saucisson (best food ever). But i came back home a 5 in the mornin completely wet cause i could not find any cab, and since the weater sucks in ireland (yeah like it s new!!!!!)!!!!!!
CIMG0830.JPG
On sunday I went to see the Fantastics 4, it distracted me for an hour and half, it s not a movie that i will remember 4ever but it was ok.

Cruise... Oh yeah!

Ok people, i have to tell u something, yes, yesterday was the best day of the year so far. My friend Marie Eve who s working on a cruise ship in USA came to visit me in Ireland. And guess what, by the end of september i will flight to Orlando in Florida, then i will go on a cruise to the Carribbean... that s right... u read me right!!!!!! I still can not believe it, it was on my dream list, and in 3 months i will be able to put it on my 'DID list" ;) So right now, i m flying, i mpeaceful, I love everybody, even the rain in Dublin ;))))
So that s it for now.

Steps!

Ok people, as i said i m gonna try to post and post on this blog in english. ... well i m gonna try to bring some interesting stuff about my life eventhough i m not a superstar, and no my life is not waouh! extra super amazing! But anyway, this morning i woke at 7 , now u dont know me, but if there is one thing that i m not... it s a morning person, but, i since i have to loose weight... since.... (always have to loose weight, nothing u) am thinking, why not going to the gym. The thing is, I definitively need a coach to help me move my ass otherwise I m gonna start 5 min and when I can t breath (so 5 min later) i loose my motivation, so it s better to have a coach who s looking at me when I stop and say "what do u think u re doing... go back on that damn step" well he does not say that that way but after 15 min of sweating this is how i think he s saying that... u see. So i can t go after work cause all the skinny women want to do it as well to be sure they re still look for their boyfriend.... whatever, I cant go either during lunch first because it s killing me, and I can t work properly after all, plus cmon it s lunch time, i can t miss my lunch time... i m french hello.
So i m going at 7.30 cause now it s 45 min and not 30 min as per previous weeks, i was enjoying my 15 min of sleep, now i have to wake up early... arffff. Today i did 45 min of steps, that s right, steps my friends, and trust, I do not like using the stairs after lunch ( i m at the 3rd floor) so using a step for 45min OMG!!!!!
Anyway the good thing is i m not really tired tonight, no it s 10.30 and i m fine.
I m waiting now for a friend, she was my housemate when i was living in cork, now she s working on a cruise ship in USA, lucky her. She had 1 day of the rain for the last 7 months, tell me about that, for me it will be faster to count the days it did not rain actually.
ok time to go, i need to work now.

Sunday the 24th of June

Ouh my dear god, i was supposed to keep this blog update, yeah right, not much, not time, and definitevely no sense of humor lately. I m gonna try really hard to keep it this time, even though i m not sure people are going to read it, anyway.
I m still in Dublin, the weather still sucks. Even though we are supposed to be in Summer ... hello, not in Ireland people. Saturday I went to see the Gay Pride in Dublin, it was really col, for once, we saw some colour, lots of colour in dublin and lots of music, it was cool, no fight as fas as i m aware.
And today I went twice in cinema, I saw Ocean 13, yeah well not the best opus of the series but at least I saw Brad Pitt and Georges Clooney so that s fine. Then I saw La vie en Rose, movie about the Singer Edith Piaf ans her strange life, it was in french of course and really cool. Now i m at home, i updated my french blog and now i m watchin Bridget Jones, not that i m looking like her ... but well kind of, fortunately i m not over 30 but i have already white hair (well not anymore for a couple of months since i went to the haird dresser last week....).
Anyway, ill see u around people

Sunday April the 23rd

Good evening, today is my last day in France. Tomorrow i will be back in Eire, ready to move to my new flat. This weekend was truly exceptional, I saw my family, I ate so many good food, i will post some pictures, I drank good wine, I went to the beach and more than everything Oh my God, I took a bath at the beach, yes exactly, so good my friend, it was awesome.
Today we got as well the Presidential Elections, for the first time, a woman went to the second round of elections and fortunately for us the Damn ass racist dude is no longer there well he did not manage to get to the second round like what unfortunately happened 5 years ago. Anyway, this is it for tonight. Gotta go to bed, tomorrow have to wake early to take my flight in Marseille.
Cheers people

Friday April the 20th

Friday evening, finally i m in south of France enjoying the good weather and the good food and good wines. This morning I left Ireland at 7 this morning, quite difficult to wake at 5 especially if u considered my only 3 hours of sleep, however, i was so excited about going on vacations!!!
I took a flight with ryanair, and the only reason why i continue to take this company, probably because the flight are so cheap and because i can have a straight flight to go in France or Cork, but damn, the staff who s working for Ryanair, OH MY GOD, com on the stewarts and womens they are so rude, not polite, if they pushed u with their carriage of food and presents or with their legs do u think they re gonna apologize for... whatever! Forget about it! I dont know how much they are paid for, but i guess not enough to get polite, plus they look ridiculous with their outfit when they serve food, so women staff are not even dress properly or their hair are so messed up I mean com on. Anyway really bad user experience but well price are cheap, it would have been different with Air France, would have been very upset. Oh and I forgot to mention that the main responsible, the main stewart was not even speaking english properly and was laughing when making announcement to the travellers!!!!!!!!!.
But when i arrived in Marseille, south of France, the first I did after huging my dad, well i removed my jacket and put my sun glasses because it was so hot!!! Then I came to visit my grandpa, we went to a really good restaurant in a small town next to where i m from. It was nice, delightful, tasty, I took pictures of every single plate I ate. I forgot my cable to transfer the pics on my mac but sure i ll do it next week when i m coming back from vacations.
Tomorrow i m gonna go to the beach oh yeah babe and buy some food to bring to Ireland. On sunday i have a big meal with pretty all my family s dad, or at least people that i care for a lot and my grandma is gonna cook a wonderful paella, of course i will take pics no doubt. I ll be back on monday in Ireland and i m moving the same day from D7 to D4 yeah, not that i really really wana go back to Ireland especially after this day but that s ok, at least i m living 3 min around the corner.
ok time to go now. Cheers.

Wednesday 18th of April

Today it s my brother birthday, yeah it s 23 years old now. Yeah everybody is getting older. Like me for instance, this year i had a cruel discovery, i m getting white hairs, yes u hear me, WHITE hair for god sake. I talked to my grandma and she said that she was already salt and pepper at age 35. I m 27, hello, i m gonna be salt and pepper at 30, :((((((.
Anyway, today in Dublin it s day 16, 16 days without any rain whatsoever, can u believe it???
Well it s true, it s not hot hot but it s cool.
This friday i m leaving for South of France for 4 days, it s gonna be so cool to see my family, eat some french food!!!!!! yummi.
Anyway nothing new really for me this week, I just want to say that i was horrified yesterday and especially this morning when I read the newspaper, to see the face of this student who killed 32 people, this is horrible and I feel so sorry for all these families who lost somebody. But i feel even more upset against the Gun Lobby who earn so many money because they re selling guns to everybody!!!
That s it for now, have to get back to work.
See ya

Here we are, Monday the 16th of April 2007 7PM

Good morning, evening dear Friends,
I know I have been doin' so many blogs and stuff and never get stick to it. But recently I managed to make a blog in French just for my family and they seem to like it. So they can have news from me with a little post every day, to talk about what s going on for me.
So since I have friends pretty much everywhere, and because some of them are english speakers why not a blog in English? Why I am starting it, it s because I m going to move ... again... I will be still in Dublin, Ireland but much closer to where I m working at the moment, and yeah... finally I will have an Internet connection, OMG, thank u!
So I ll have more time to write a post every day in both language!!!!
I know this first post is pretty boring but trust me, if my life is not that exciting either at least my sense of humour make life funnier!!!!
