I’ve made a decision:

I promise this will be my last post for a while on the whole Rogers fiasco!
I have decided to pay the ECF (early cancellation fee) of $500 and shop around for a new phone and plan with either Bell or Telus. Doing the math, I can easily recover the huge fee I’ve paid to [...]

Okay, I know this is redundant, but…

Work with me.
If it’s at all unclear, I’m unhappy (wow, that’s a euphemism!) with the Rogers Wireless plans, and the general care and attention they pay to their clients.
I mean, what other company, after months of knowing that they’ve scored the lucrative EXCLUSIVE contract with APPLE to sell their iPhone across Canada, and collect INSANE [...]

Friday’s here! TGIF!

I’m going to shake off this anger for Rogers, and their stupid f’d up wireless data plans for the new iPhone, and look forward to an awesome weekend ahead!
What are you looking forward to, this fine, fine weekend? Me? I’ve got another action-packed one planned…
Tonight, it’s estrogen-bonding time — It’s going to be [...]

Rogers Wireless iPhone Plans Announced.

Or, is that Robbers Wireless? The new Rogers plans for the iPhone were announced this morning.
Colour me shocked. Shocked, I say! (I’m obviously being facetious… I’m not at all surprised we’re being ‘bent over’ yet again)
* $60/month -150 anytime minutes, 75 outgoing SMS, + 400 MB data

Another INANE Rogers Wireless Policy — Shocking, not.

I’m livid.
I had four people call me last night about my plan. So I called Rogers to see what the process would be to transfer my plan over to the new customer — It can’t be that difficult, right?
Except, they won’t let me keep my number. No matter what I do.
What kinda bullcrap [...]

Want to make $200?

Hi guys… This quick post is brought to you by the letter “I”, as in “Iritis”. I’m currently sitting in front of my computer to briefly get this post out while squinting with one eye. Iritis is not my friend.
To be brief, then, on to the deal…
I’ve got a 2.5 year cell contract [...]

Looking ahead!

Mondays mean a fresh start to a brand new week for me… (Trying to use the power of positive thinking — Work with me here!)
So, in the spirit of looking forward, I’m very much looking forward to catching up with Monica this week, a geek event, a first date, three workouts with my trainer, a [...]

Woohoo! The weekend has arrived…

This chick is about to open a bottle of really nice wine — It’s been calling my name all week!
Soon, there will be a bubble bath, some candles, and then a good book. After which, there will be plenty of laughs on online video!
The way I see it… This is going to be an [...]

I feel fabulous! :D

Yay, Friday has arrived (okay, it’s just barely Friday at this point, but it counts!)… It felt like a really long week despite not working on Monday, due to my workload upon my return. On top of that, my workouts were kind of a gong show, but I think I’m back on track as [...]

Vancouver in times long past

I don’t know about you, but I love looking at old photos of my home town. Vancouver has changed so drastically in 50 years, and these photos I received from Lorelei yesterday really shows how much…

Do you enjoy looking at old photos? If so, do you prefer to look at architecture, or people?
ps: [...]

Gratitude

Here’s a few things I’m so very grateful for in my life right now…
– My new family
It’s been so amazing to meet and get to know my biological family. They’ve all been so remarkable, and they have accepted me as part of the family with open arms. I can’t believe how quickly they’ve [...]

What happened in Vegas…

I’m too, too busy to go into huge detail about Vegas — Besides, what happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas, right?
But, I’ll give you a point form of my experience:
– OMG, the suite at the Venetian was amazing!
– But, OOOOOMG! The one bedroom suite upgrade I got at the Trump Tower was phenomenal! (Photos [...]

Holy… Where did the time fly?

I’m leaving for Vegas in just a few short hours… And I can’t believe how much I have to do before I leave work today. It’s insane.
And speaking of insanity, I’m having to change my flight back while I’m down in Vegas because stupid US Air wants to charge me double just to change [...]

As seen in “24 HOURS” today

Check out who made “Vancouver 24 HOURS” today!
Have a gander at Buzz Bishop’s article on page 11.
The clip almost (almost) makes me feel bad for the guy who bought my iPhone. But, not quite. He could have done the research I did, and been more informed.
Too funny…!!!

Happy Birthday, Dad. I miss you.

Today would have been my Dad’s 66th birthday. I can’t believe it’s been six months since I got the news that he’d passed away.
My Dad was always quick to smile and say something funny… He had so much patience. (And being around me sometimes, you need patience!) He was one of the [...]

Best birthday news: 3G iPhone in Canada July 11th

I thought I’d do a separate post on this, because it’s got lots of great deets!
Besides being my birthday, today is also the BIG DAY for WWDC’s announcement of the iPhone upgrades. I’m betting (well, already ‘bet’ — my iPhone was sold last week) that they’ll also announce the release date for the iPhone [...]

Additional candles are now banned…

Today is my birthday, and this is the first year I’ve decided I’m in a holding pattern. No more candles are allowed on the cake!
I had a really nice party on the weekend — Most of my friends showed up, and it was really great to see everyone. The Rugby Club was a [...]

I’m having a Blo uh, job tomorrow.

LOL… Did that get your attention?
I’ve decided to treat myself to Blo “creation” tomorrow afternoon — The way they describe it on their website: Wash. Blow. Go. Around 30 dollars. About 30 minutes.
Hey, if I can eliminate the whole blow-drying routine, even for one day, I’m a happy girl. My naturally curly frocks take [...]

Friday Silliness…

A pictorial of internet dating…

Man, first off, I just have to say: I’M GOING THROUGH IPHONE WITHDRAWLS ALREADY!!! I really hope I guessed the release date correctly… Ack.
What are you looking forward to, this weekend? Me? It’s MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND! YAY! Tonight, I’m catching up with a friend to help [...]

Great deal… Selling my iPHONE!

Want a great deal on a 16 gb iPhone? It’s barely used (as you all know, I only bought it a few weeks ago), has no scratches, and of course comes with the BodyGuardz protection!
I’ve got it on CraigsList for $640, firm. But, if one of my readers wants it, I’ll sell it [...]
