Going Back to School

Well...after more than 10 years of being out of school to formally study - I'm going back. I received today my official letter of acceptance from OISE/University of Toronto to do my PhD in curriculum, teaching and learning development. I feel lucky. It's even raining in Toronto today. The thing is, and the great thing is, I did not get into the University of Toronto's PhD programs on first try. This year marks about four years of applications, every time a round came up just to the University of Toronto. This does not even include my years of applications to York University and Ryerson University.

Love at a Distance Published

It's here! My new book is called Love at a Distance . I published it this morning and I must say I love the ease and facility of the self-publishing platform on both Lulu.com and Amazon Kindle that can make your works of art come alive so fast. The book started its creation at the end of February, and you will enjoy the script-like nature of the book. It is compiled from chats that took place with one person over Datehookup.com, as well as Gmail. You can buy it today at: http://stores.lulu.com/kakonged . You can also find it available on Amazon Kindle and Amazon in a few days.

New Book Coming Out

The good thing is the publisher will be Lulu.com and it will also be available shortly afterwards on Amazon, as well as Amazon Kindle. Look out for it in the next day or so.

Bringing Two Wonderful Things Together

Hello everyone, It has been a really long time since I have written on this blog. I hope you have enjoyed the new Donna Magazine's Salon Utopia. I am writing this entry from a new Macbook Pro 17" that I bought used on Craigslist. To tell you the truth, when the battery wore out I was a little scared that I had been shafted. Now everything seems fine with it and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I'm planning to do some disciplined research in the area of hair, clothes and the body in the near future. More details of that will be announced once everything is confirmed. I'm really excited about it though because I have not delved into this area on a full-time basis since the late 90's, or 1999 about, when I graduated from Concordia University in Montreal with my master's degree. So many new developments have occurred in the area of hair, clothes and the body that this really needs to be explored more in depth. May I also add, especially giving some of a Can
