IPhone

Why does it seem that everyone has an IPhone but me?

I feel trapped. I want badly one but I have still one year to go with my contract and if I terminate it now, it will cost me around 100€. Now I realise it's not that much and that it would still be less expensive to do that and have a new IPhone with a new contract than to just buy one for 600€... But it used to be more expensive a few months ago...

The thing is, I broke my former phone last February and now I have an incredibly old one that don't even have a color screen... or a camera!

My great phone

So now everytime I see something great in Paris I wanna share with you, like a beautiful sunset on Place de la Concorde or an amazing contemporary building, which is not that common in here, I think: "Damn I wish I had not lost my camera and I had an IPhone!"

Last week, I sent a letter to the phone company to tell them I was no longer using my phone anymore in order to terminate the contract without any breaking fees. If this works, I will be able to get an IPhone for a reasonable price.

But in the meantime, if you think you're missing something in this blog because of my not having an IPhone, of course you are more than welcome to help me. I will accept any form of donation!

D&G new commercial

The first time I saw this commercial on the back cover of a magazine, I went crazy! OMG, so much beauty and perfection on only one page! They could have had one of them it would have been great, but they had all of them: Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Fernando Fernandes, Noah Mills AND Tyson Ballou... That's it? No guest star?!?
Then the first thing that hit me was: "I'm wondering how much this marketing campaign has cost...". I know, I'm so materialistic... Later,I saw that they had also made a TV commercial, which must have cost even more...

But after a second thought, maybe it hasn't cost too much: the girls are not the latest most wanted models and the guys are not the most famous one either...
Let's imagine how this could have been more expensive: Gisele Bündchen, Heidi Klum, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo...?

Any other ideas?

Fireworks

Last week-end, the biggest firework in Europe was shot in the Parc de Saint Cloud near Paris. They advertised a lot for it so when I got back from Los Angeles I thought it could be a very nice evening.
I told Lionel to buy tickets to go: it was going to be my birthday present. Unfortunately, the event was sold out... :( I was really pissed about that so I decided to go anyway and see if we could buy tickets at the gate.
Many many people, a few without tickets, and NO ONE selling any tickets! What a shame! After 20 minutes, I see a small kid going to a group of people coming and asking them if they were selling any tickets, and they were! I ran to them, thinking I would be very upset to be defeated by a kid who is just not as shy as I am! Thank God they had more spare tickets and as all the other free-ticket persons were coming as scavengers on a rotting carcass, I was able to buy us 2 tickets for the show!

And what a show!
Past the fact that we had to stand up for 2 hours because people wouldn't sit down, it was the best firework in my life. We had a little picnic with white wine before the show, then it started. First, an hour wih a musician playing piano in the smoke..., regular fireworks.
Then, 1h15 of amazing, incredible, unique, huge fireworks! Colors I had never seen: orange, mint blue, dark yellow... Shapes I couldn't believe: triangles, stars, hearts!!
And even with 2 small parachutes linked by a string, making illuminated smiles in the sky!

It was an awesome night!

Sorry, I didn't take any picture as I still haven't buy a new camera... (I lost the one I bought 2 months ago...) Just so you're not too frustrated:

Last Day in LA

Today is my last day in Los Angeles. Everything happened so fast I didn't realise it was coming.

Actually, yesterday I found out that my landlord thought I was leaving the house today when he reminded that my contract ended yesterday at 12:00am and that I had to pack and clean everything by that time. That meant that I had to find a place to stay for tonight, and make tons of clothes and shoes fit in my suitcase (that would have happened anyway...). And that's not easy, especially for me who hate packing if I'm not leaving right away after.

But I won't have time to be bored today. Matthew is taking me to the Glendale Galleria to go to the Ruehl store (is that a good idea considering that I do know that my suitcase is already too full...?), I'm going to a few friend's houses to say goodbye, I have to remember to take my car back before 6pm (I could forget... I know myself), I'm still considering buying an Apple laptop here (is that reasonable considering what happened to my camera? I lost it 3 weeks after I bought it...)...

Good part is, I get to see my boyfriend and my friends again!
