Yesterday, that was July 1st - Canada Day, since i have some time now to visit friends, places, i took a nice walk in downtown. Things have changed in the past couple of years. At the corner of Davie and Hornby street, there is a public garden, it's so nice to see it, surrounded by high rises.

On another note, if you are into gardening or growing vegetables for yourself, you could get a lot from these public spaces.

Go out and celebrate it, get drunk, or whatever you do, have fun.

Last time, it took me over a year to reach a $100 dollars so i could get paid by Google AdSense, now, it took me less than 6 months - my goal has been achieved.

Converting the $100 from US dollars to Canadian dollars, it turned out to be $130 CAD, not bad, eh?!

If you do not have a blog yourself, it is time to set one up. I can help you.

To all the father's out there, Happy Father's Day, including myself. Padre, Feliz Dia de Los Padres!

I am celebrating it with my family, lots of food and beer!

I don't usually buy something for a street person, but today, i did. I bought a slice of pizza for a homeless person on Robson Street.

I went to the Amore Pizza shop at 350 Robson St, i have not been here for a long time, probably a couple of years ago, used to come here often while i was a downtown ambassador. Anyhow, i grabbed two slices, and while i was eating outside i saw a homeless man,that looked like hungry. I paused eating for a second and put myself in his shoes, is he really hungry, i asked myself? So i asked him and he accepted a slice of pizza, after that, i continued eating more comfortably.

One thing i would never give a street person is money, food, certainly.

Facebook decided, after debating for a long time, whether to let users have their on username or not, such as facebook.com/hector, so last Friday it was made public, it was released at 12:00am, 9:00pm local time.

Not surprising, my name was taken, the picture on the profile does look like me though, especially the hair, since it's been taken, i decided to use my domain, facebook.com/hectorplus.

Some of my friends have asked me why I am leaving my hair long, well, i wanted to try something new, new look.

I did have my hair long when i first came to Vancouver, that's like 11 years ago, back home(Mexico), it was cool to have long hair, it was trendy, shaved on the side, leaving the top part long, think mushroom.

My goal is to have it long enough that i would be able to tie it from the back. To those friends i do not see often, you might not recognize me, don't be shocked.

Anyhow, so i am trying something new here, try something new yourself, can be anything, you'll feel good.

You maybe asking yourself, what is a Mayan new year, well, if you have some time, wiki about the Mayans here

On saturday, the Mayans celebrated their new year - 5000 years +. This is the first time i actually attend one. It's a very small event that has been taking place by a group of Mayan decedents, it started about 6 years ago.

My parents have always invited me to join the event, but have always found an excuse not to go - let's just say i am not into that thing.
