  No more US layovers! Colombia, News | Comments Off

  For Colombians living in Canada: Starting June 30th, Air Canada will have 3 weekly direct flights Toronto-Bogotá (Wed, Fri, Sun) and Bogotá-Toronto (Thu, Sat, Mon). The flight is 6:25 hours long and there's a special promotion for people who will fly between June 30th and August 30th. Now, this is absolutely wonderful news! It means no more layovers at US airports, not freaking paranoia, no freaking fear! Canada and Colombia connected, at last! Way to go! More information at the Air Canada website (kind of old news, but I just found out today, through the Colombian Consulate newsletter).

  Faithful to Yahoo! Geeky | (3)

  When I first used a computer connected to the internet, the first site I visited was Yahoo! My first e-mail account was in Yahoo! Mail (I still use it as my personal e-mail service). The first messenger service I used was Yahoo! Messenger and I manage my Calendar via Yahoo!. It's Yahoo! love all the way for me, I've been faithful to the red Y! for a long time. Now they have this really cool messenger BETA version with Launch (their music service) incorporated, the new smilies are too cute and the whole look is awesome. I'm now listening to ...

  Amazon Love Web | (3)

  OMG! Being an Amazon Associate really pays, yikes! I just received a Gift Certificate for $12.29, which is not much, but it's great for me! I have no idea how this happened, but I guess some people have bought items through the links I've provided on the different pages I have on my site with Amazon items. This is just too cool! Now I have to think what I want to get, w00t! (Hey Babs, do you think I should get the Girlosophy Oracle? Heh!) -- DONE! ;-)

  Low Purine Diet Life | (1)

  Patrice had an appointment with the doctor today and I couldn't go with him because my stomach decided to start acting funky in the middle of the afternoon. Funky is really a nice wayt to put it... what I went through was awful enough to make me want to cry, ha ha! TMI? Oh well! I also had to miss my first freedom evening with Elisa because I thought it was not fair that I didn't go to the medical appointment with Patrice, and then I would say I had the energy to go out and have fun? I don't ...

  Colombia Hurts Colombia, News, Thoughts | (1)

  Yes, my country hurts, every day, ravaged by violence, but we don't lose hope. It just hurts a little bit more when you have have to see tragedies like this, where a school bus was crushed by a bulldozer and 21 children died. School children, innocent children. Any death is terrible, but with a child... that's another thing. The suffering, the sorrow, the feeling of impotence that goes through their parents hearts; I know so much about it... images from my brother's death at 17 pass in front my eyes and I can see my parents coming home again after ...
