Quote of the Day
A recent quote from my good buddy Yan B, when I asked "how's life?" That was his reply... Yan I understand exactly how you feel. Things are going great, but somehow you don't feel as happy as you think you should be.
Well, let's hope that once we finally open the door, that the party will still be at it's peak.

French vocabulaire!!!!
Putin, Merde!!!!!
C'est les seuls mots que je sais complètement bien prononcer comme un Français!!! C'est triste parce que j'ai eu un entretien jeudi après-midi chez Le Figaro pour une nouvelle mission. Cette mission pourrait être le début de ma nouvelle carrière ici en France, car la mission avec La Société générale terminera à la fin janvier.
Dider Berne, qui a organisé l'entretien, m’a dit que malheureusement je n'ai pas eu le poste car je ne parle pas le français comme un vrai Français. Quand j'ai entendu ça, je n’ai rien dit. Toute le monde qui me connaît ici en France sait que je parle français avec un accent anglo et aussi, que mon vocabulaire n'est pas complet.
Mais non!!!! "That's not my style" et je vais faire le mieux afin de m’adapter plus en français. Samedi, j'ai acheté des livres d’orthographe et de grammaire et j'ai des amis qui vont m'aider à parler français avec moins d'accent anglophone.
Une autre chose aussi, c'est que j'essaierai d'écrire mes blog posts en français aussi. Alors à tous mes pots, n'héstiez pas à me corriger quand je fais des erreurs, c'est le seul moyen pour moi d’apprendre.
Je ne suis pas venu ici en France pour avoir des échecs!!!
Voila

Picasso's Art
As mentioned in my previous post, I got to see some of Picasso's orginal works of art. Although I'm a debutant in the work of art appreciation, I was very impressed with many of his works and as Tanya pointed out, you can see his skill in even the simplest of drawings he made. Incredible, please enjoy many of his photos found HERE :)

Another Great weekend in paris!!!!
It's 2007 and the first full weekend of the year started off superbly. Friday Tanya and I hung out as she came back from Bugaria and she shared her stories of the great time she spent with her family. Then we met Sophie and we all headed off to Cafe OZ to meet Gab and the others.... Wow, I don't even have to go into details... FUN was had by all....
Saturday, after sleeping in from the long night... I met Omar for the gym although I did not get to work out this time we took a tour on les Champs and i got a couple of reading materials that'll help me improve my french vocab ;-)
We then decided to go for dinner at an Italian resto and Omar invited a couple of friends, Nadesh & Aurelie. We then met Sacha and Anna at Sacha's place.... took down a couple of Bicardi's 76% proof alcohol shooters (Thats some strong stuff, it'll grow hair on your chest...hehe). Then.. well you guessed it, we headed back to Cafe OZ.. to party until the sun came back up (well almost!!).
Tanya and I later meet Sunday afternoon and paid a visit to the Picasso Musee since most offered free admission to the public on the first Sunday of each month :)
All in all, it was another great weekend in Paris, you gotta love it!!!!
Aller, bisou et A+
