A New Chapter

Good morning, good day. When I woke up, I thought I was still dreaming. I had to double check my wallet. Not dreaming: my papers are really here. I took 5 minutes, laying in bed, looking at the ceiling, reminiscing about my 192-day #stuckinlisbon #stuckincanada situation. I should write a book about that. I am […]

Adventures in Ottawa

Woke up this morning, had to jump on the bus real quick to go to Ottawa to take care of my passport. Got down there, realized that they telling me that the ID that I have is not really an ID – it just tells my status in Canada 🙄. Welllllll, I guess you learn […]

Day 111 | Mastering Hello

Man. Facebook is going wild with those Kizomba posts. I’m gonna be honest, it’s a lot of fun watching people so engaged in something simple, and so opinionated in something they believe is right. But it’s also funny to see people so emotionally involved and losing it while they typing saying shit they didn’t mean. […]
