So things have been going kick-ass lately in all areas of life.

Ultimate: (I had to start with that first!) WE WON!!!!! Yup, we are the Intermediate division champions. Not bad for first time team eh? We ended off regular season in 3rd place....barely beat the 2nd place team in order to get us into the finals AND then BLEW away the 1st place un-defeated team in the finals by 17-11. Woohoo. It was quite the game and I'm sooo proud of the team and we all now have 1 more championship shirt to add to our collection!

Softchoice: We won Best Workplaces in Canada! It's even better, since we've applied for it for years and never one...and this is the first year that I worked on the application....and we won it! We came in 8th place over companies like TD and Deloitte. We also won #1 IT solution provider in Canada at the Channel awards that i went to on Thursday so that was even more icing on the cake. I'm now on a whirlwind business trip trying to set up some customer appreciation events. Started off in Houston yesterday (where I got to do 10 laps at a Motorspeedway sitting in the passenger seat of a racecar with a pro driver that's driven with Scott Goodyear!...going around the turns at over 150km per hour for sure gets your heart going!) today I'm in LA and then heading to SanFran tomorrow and then Seattle (where I'll be partying it up with Karen!) and then rounding off the weekend in Chicago. So it's a perfect mix of business, seeing Softchoice friends, university friends, new cities, and visiting the fam in Chicago.

Bombay Bling: So this was the big party that I planned for the movie premiere of my cousin's film. It was a HUGE success (yes....i'm patting myself on the back for this one) We had over 140 people there including loads of people from the press and entertainment industry. I even got interviewed by OMNI TV !(I have no clue when it's going to be on though...) The pre-party worked out well and with a FLOW MC and great performers it really set the stage for the screening. The movie was really funny and it was fun to be in a theatre full of people you know. Then the after party. Well...we consumed all 17 bottles and ended up in Chinatown. So I don't need to say more about that....it was a great night. Pics are up here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mellymel_alvares/album?.dir=/1161re2&.src=ph&.tok=phZL_wEBlVpLPIA

Life sometimes feels too busy and hectic to even breathe and you forget to appreciate how amazing you really have it. It's kind of the reason why I have this. To remind myself.
