you did it HOW MANY times? WHOA.

I first joined twittter on May 5th, 2008. At that time I was working for an online casino company doing project management. I liked my job and was blogging daily. Near the end of 2008 I was really into Twitter despite not knowing THAT many people into it. I had under 500 followers and the Toronto community was very small compared to what it is now.

Since then, my life has been enriched with HEAPS of wonderful people and experiences. I’m looking forward to the next 45,000 AND when I hit 100,000 tweets. OMFG that will be AMAZING.

Cheers to Twitter and my 45,000 milestone!

One of my followers @MCIbites introduced me to this video made with 45,000 still images. Pretty neat.

Fat City Reprise – Long Gone from Cesar Kuriyama

In other news, there’s this new thinger called Facto.Me and Mashable said it’s kinda addicting so naturally, I tried it. Well, it is quite amusing. See facts about me here. Some thing you might now know like “The ring on my finger is based on a personality theory.”

ringin’ it in style: december 31, 2010 #INQNYE

back to the hotel to get ready for the evening

melodie got a sexy new short cut. hawt!

our chariot for the night was a massive limo disco bus (like the ones 905’ers get to come downtown!)

we had a massive area for our crew at this club calle BAINS DOUCHES. haha. these hot ladies danced sexy burlesque for us. rrrrrarrrrrrr. one of the girls is from TO and would like me to come to her class. i like this idea.

HAPY NEW YEAR! 2011 OMG!

this giant 6’5″ 19 year old may have kissed me at midnight

we had a photographer so i didn’t take many photos of our party

i came back from the club earlier than the rest and made use of our awesomely huge tub

our suite was pretty awesome, well except that it was 911. bad sign, gah 9/11?  bathroom is behind blue curtain.

had a great sleep, woke up and hung out with myself around the hotel lobby

looked at the beautiful & modern art displayed by an artiste named TONE

then i went to the Away Spa @ W Montreal for a massage and a lovely breakfast

post brekky i met up with the rest of the crew and prepared for departure…

and finally… I share this with you beacause it is pretty freaking AWESOME. Posted details on tumblr.

fun with @facebook, look what did…

It’s not as easy as you think. I drew the images on iPad then uploaded to FB. They had to be cropped and edited etc., took a bit longer than I thought but was good practie.There’s some real creative ones on Techcrunch and Mashable.

c’est où la partie commence

our NYE adventure started out with a lovely lunch breifing at Mercatto in TO. andrew & monoka gave us all the deets incuding fancy dinners, clubs, limo rides, shopping, plus hair & spa appointments.

we like this

all ma ladies melodie, raymi, monika

post lunch we hopped into cabs to the island airport and caught a 4:30 on Porter to MTL

by the time we left the plane was full and were were so loud and excited. i’m sure everyone hated us.

a limo picked us up and from P.E. Trudeau airport & took us to our new home, the W Montreal

beautiful hotel, go there next time you are in MTL.

i was in love with the art they have displayed right now. reminded me of a fine toronto artist, HINTO.

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

if you are looking for a good movie to watch

Watch this:

I watched it last night as I had a lovely bath in my suite at the W Montreal. It really got me thinking about sharing of content online. Living in public. It opened a few windows in my mind that lead to doors with ideas behind them. I’ve got lots to share with you this year my friends.

Happy New Year!

We’re having a five course dinner. There’s twenty of us. The food is just divine. We arrived in a huge disco limo bus with a bar in it.

I packed a confetti popper in my purse for later! Hazaaaaa!

Happy New Year friends!

(Resto is beauty, snapped that pic before the 8:30 seating!)

you wish you were here: #Montreal #INQNYE

Having the most fun. We are quite a hilarious bunch. Flight was short and we were quite loud which made it even more hilarious. We clapped at the end, y’know like how people sometimes do when you go on vacation?? Yes. Funny.

The W Hotel Montreal is so beautiful. It’s my first time staying at this one. Went to Wunderbar the club here last night. The INQ Team is treating us really great, had bottle service and a nice dinner before hand. Brekky this AM with the whole crew, there’s about 15 people in the #INQNYE group, us, couple peeps from Strategic Objectives and contest winners.

Spent some time shopping morning then I ventured out on a massive walk around downtown Montreal. Was nice to have a little self time before tonight. It is going to be INSANE, the whole place is open bar and we have a section to ourselves, a bodyguard (Frank Farmer?), and a massive limo for the night. Dinner is at a fancy place too.

This is the life. This is my life, aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

In other news, I’m blogging from iPad and it’s not going as well as planned. Adding photos is harrrrrrd. So many good ones to share too. Gah, getting me frustrrrrrrated. Check Raymi’s blog to see pix until I figure this crap out. Rarrrrrr.

I need a nap before tonight for sure. Ok bye xoxo
