In the city of blinding lights....

So just recently someone asked me to do an online interview in regards to how life is like where I live. I mentioned with my previous post that I do live in the city, which by the way is still covered with dreadful snow. But I don't blame mother-nature, its winter for the love of God! Anyways we bloggers are all over the world, and some become curious about what life is like living where we are. I've been in the same place for just over 14 years years now (I could be one hell of a tour guide if I wanted to ha!) but I can't say I know every in and outs of such a huge place. But I think it's safe to say that I've lived here long enough to create one harmonious life for myself!

'City life according to M.'

PEOPLE

Who is part of your circle?
My girls: Carina, Kristyn, Sam, Angela, Charm, Gian, and Danica. 5 years deep.
The most romantic place in the city is...
Really depends on ones' definition of 'romantic'. My idea would be anywhere serene and relaxed.
City guys are like... Fish in the ocean! So diverse and unpredictable! It's a huge urban area where you can find all types of guys. You just have to search real hard to find the perfect one just for you.
City girls are like... Not like any other species in the world.
Dating here is... Can't say I date much, but from the ones I've been on it's fun if you're both open-minded and out for a good time to get know one another.
The best pickup place here is... Anywhere with human species?

LIFE
What made you come here and when did you come?
Like my parents I was born in a foreign country. The opportunities there are limited, and they wanted something better, so when I was about 4 years old we moved here. It was definitely a culture shock especially for a young girl. Now 14+ years later...I'm alive aren't I?
What made you stay?
The city life really: lots of interesting people and diverse places.
What are your favorite hot spots?
17th ave in the summer, Carina's place, and any Second Cup Coffee lounge.
Working in the city is...
Great and sometimes not-so-great. When the economy slowed a while back, opportunities jammed and all of a sudden you're under radar which made it difficult to move on towards a new position. Though in a big city, hard work always pays off!

LIVING
Your favorite thing(s) to in the city...
Spend time with friends, go out for a bite at a cool spot, and make money!
What's it like finding a place here?
Not too bad if you have a solid bank account and a nice landlord. Bottom line is just try your best to stay away from the ghetto areas...AKA Forest lawn.
What is best thing about living where you are and the worst thing?
I'd say the best part is the people you meet and end up becoming close to. The worst thing? Crappy roads and ridiculous weather

HOBBIES
Put some of your hobbies in order of your favorite things to do...
Relax, listen to music, read, spend time the ladies, watch a good movie.
Do you have a favorite place that you've traveled?
Unfortunatley I don't travel that often, especially at the point that I'm in my life right now. Though in the future I will definitely get out there more. One place I'm really keen on visiting is France!
If you could do whatever your wanted in a full day what would you do?
Go somewhere calm and quiet and just relax.
What does a typical day in your world look like?
Both harmonious and hard work

In two sentences or less, give your advice in the following areas

Love... You can never have too much!
Life... Live it the way you want to, work hard, and remain true
Friends... Fish out the bad ones, and you'll end with the brilliant ones
Family... The greatest people you will EVER meet
Work... Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. If you're not happy, why waste your time?

Happy Holidays
M.
