I was a bit surprised to see my bank account debited twice by the tax collector. Luckily, they immediately reimbursed the excess. The whole confusion was my fault. I saw that they wanted to charge me 1/3 of my tax therefore I switched to a monthly payment. So it was a bit confusing for their system.

My legs are now hard as steel: 30 kms / week! I tried not to push too much and I kept a regular rhythm. After I ran up the stairs, an old woman who did the same said that it was “beautiful” to be young, I made her laugh when I told her that the climb did hurt […]

I ran 3 times 10 kms last week. My body is a bit sore. The trees are blossoming and it is nice to see the new green leaves and the flowers. I was shocked when I came to help Malika with her administrative paperwork after her minor surgery. She wanted to make copies of her […]

I learned a new word while reading the plot of this movie: The Lobster. “Dystopian” is the opposite of “Utopia”: something that is undesirable or frightening. After further reading, I finally understood the meaning of this movie. I needed to accept the logic of the movie: “undesirable or frightening”. There is nothing such as happiness in a dystopian society. The […]

Too much food wasted! I tried to empty the fridge meaning throwing leftovers away. I cannot eat twice food that I ate. That is a very bad habit of mine. It is so much cheaper to buy enormous portion of food that I will never eat :(.

Since the story about the “arranged” wedding, I noticed that there were at least 3 “arranged” weddings in the building and 3 “recomposed” families (kids from previous marriages). The kids are quite normal besides the “fat” kid. Compared to the two brothers who came politely asking for help with their broken computer, I do not like much […]

At 45 years old! It seems like an impossible dream but if you think hard about it maybe there is a way! When everyone else is thinking about their burdensome retirement, I am trying to make it happen as early as possible. Unlike many people around me, I noticed that I do not work much in […]

I thought that my little life was boring. One dude in my building just told me about his nightmare. He went home picking up his “wife” in an arranged wedding made by his parents last year. Now, she got depressed, went into the hospital for treatment and tried to get suicide. Then, she accused him […]
