Gone and back! 07/21/2010
 
Yes that's already passed, one month back to my roots and back in wintery New Zealand.

The beginning of Summer in Europe was very pleasant, some really hot days peaking at 35 degrees, it was all good to me!
Rebonding with the family was just necessary after this long, and I cherished every moment with them! When do we go back again?! 6 months isn't it?!
We re-visited some places and castles and that made me realize more than ever that "my country rocks" in its way! Only in France for some things!

Well ok, I'm back to winter, but let me tell you this.... Winter here has absolutely nothing to do with France. Mild temperatures, it gets cold during the nights, maybe 2/3 degrees but you can get some good 14 degrees during the days. The fire is going the whole day though...

After a long 1 year, I finally had the Canadian Permanent Residency, that was always my backup plan. Well back up plan is in the pocket! Yes yes yes, Europe can collapse such as Australasia, we have a ticket to live somewhere else!
Have to enter the country before a certain date, meaning a good trip in the States again! Wooohoooo! Can't get enough of there!

Diving is now far away in my mind, don't have any opportunity ahead for now. One day it will be my time for it, I know and I stick to that!

I took the DAEFLE exam during my period in France, results mid September. Long time to wait still.

Next step here, renew my work visa. It should be quite easy.

Hasta luego!

 
4 days to go.... 05/27/2010
 
4 days to go and... welcome back home!

I got my work visa, which will allow me to get a one way ticket. NZ$120 and 10 minutes to wait and voila! The immigration service is not so bad after all!

Found a very nice store in Palmy, the "Shearing Shed" with all the souvenirs possible you'd get. Handcrafts, t shirts, manuka products, etc. The owner was telling about his lifestyle, him and his wife are travelling 4 months a year. I agree 100% on this sort of lifestyle! Life is too short...

We have a very wet weather lately, the temperature is starting to drop here while on the other side of the hemisphere they're starting to feel the heat!

I miss diving... A lot now! I just can't wait to pick up my dive gear and get to wet it!

Peace....
 
 
One week to go back home for a little while!

This coming week is going to be crazy busy, tons of things to take care of before the departure.

The business is getting busier and busier which is great, we deserve our little vacation!

I wanted to let you know about my point of view of Adwords.
I tried it for this site for a week. I know.... This site is definitely not the best to advertise, but I wanted to see if it worked regarding traffic. Well YES it definitely worked the first day but then I guess that there was nothing really intesresting in the site for keeping people... So a big YES for Adwords if you have a super interesting website to promote!!! If it worked for my humble site it will work for yours!

The end.
 
 

 
 
If you clicked up there you saw what I'm going to talk about.

I was searching the net about that, and I found a great product which allows you to post regularly without even being behing your screen.

The magic of it is that posting brings more traffic = money for the smart ones.

I'll keep on searching and will share the good ideas.

And for some good laugh check the video. Well well well.... Here again some bad points about MAC.... I cannot post the video because of the F&é"'(§è! finger pad which doesn't allow me to do whatever I want to...

Can't wait to get my HP back! Oh by the way, my screen cracked (fell down) and it's been 3 weeks that it's in some computer store waiting to be serviced because the screen hasn't arrived yet. That's how bad is the service in NZ! In Europe or the States, I would have had my screen the very same day! Damn it!!!

Later
 
 
There you go, sometimes it's better to just say "nothing" at all, we unfortunately start to get the rain... Nooooo Noooo not yet!

Starting to really study on "how to create a website", very interesting, very complicated as well from what I can see.
I would like to know how to use the CSS, FTP, java , coffe cup and other funny software they have out there. Then we all know that building a website is not the hardest part, but targeting the traffic to your website... The marketing aspect, that's it!

If someone knows about a great book for dummies, drop a line!

Have a good day wherever you are!
 
Amazing weather! 05/12/2010
 
Here is what I want to share.... How amazed I am by the weather, we have temperatures going up to 23°C less than a month to winter!!! How is this possible?!!!

OK as I am writing it's pissing down hardly... But hey, the temperature is still quite high!

That's about it for now... Later!
 
20 days to go! 05/11/2010
 
20 days left and back home for a little while!
It feels good to think that I'll be able to see the family pretty soon.

The past months have been spent by lots of back and forth to Taumarunui, we were lucky to have a good weather and we accomplished a lot of what we were supposed to.

Basically lately.... my mom is a year older, I finished my Canadian application, I started a super work out plan... I know, it could be more exciting.

Did you guys heard about that Ashley Madison website??? They showed a TV program about it couple of days ago. A super shocking dating website for CHEATERS! We can think whatever we want to, that the guy is sick and a F@&"'§(! bastard, but he is a multi millionaire with this brilliant (sick and insane) idea! That gives you some ideas for finding a niche and try to make it work and WHO KNOWS?!!!

And regarding the weather, yes, cause that counts, well for the middle of Autumn we still some very nice temperatures reaching 19°C and sunny days! Impressed, I just can say that NZ rocks!

More pictures soon, for now the cat is the only superstar for the camera.... Again that could be more exciting, but we really have no time to be tourists lately. Just one target for us: get to France and enjoy our days there!


 
 
Nous avons passe la semaine précédente dans le "bush", un super temps et une tranquillité a vous couper le souffle!

Le week-end dernier, un petit tour a Raglan, la ville "surf" par excellence. une toute petite ville, toute propre et mignonnette mais je répète toute petite! La plage y est immense et vide, les vagues sont bonnes. 

C'est le long week-end de Paques alors Joyeuses Paques a tous!
 
 
On est déjà en Mars et l'Été est TER MI NE sur hémisphère sud! Termine oui mais on a encore de belles journées chaudes et ensoleillées, les matins sont frisquets!

Rien de bien nouveau de ce cote du monde, calme plat même... Pas de nouvelles visites non plus. On va essaye de remedier a cela ce week-end, c'est pas encore gagne, car HS en général!
Ah siii on a eu un feu dans le terrain, et ouai... Bon ca aurait pu être plus serieux, 1 jour après il y a encore des braises... On comprend mieux pourquoi les feux de forets mettent une eternite a s'éteindre!

Le Printemps pointe le bout de son nez sur l'hémisphère Nord, aaaarrrrf!!! Profitez profitez!
