Quem sou eu...

Pishi é a palavra em farsi (a língua persa, falada no Irã) para kitten, filhote de gato ou gatinho(a) em inglês.

Como eu tenho uma "certa" identificação com gatos, o Kam me deu este apelido e pegou...

25 anos, jornalista, doida por Vancouver, apaixonada pela vida...

Vim para Vancouver em fev/03, após ter me formado e resolvi ficar. Me identifiquei muito com a cidade e decidi que quero mais qualidade de vida pra mim, um futuro decente, a possibilidade de fazer mais cursos, de conseguir melhores empregos e ter mais prazer na vida.

Saber que eu posso pegar minha bicicleta e ir até a praia, ouvir música e ler um bom livro, apreciando a beleza da vista do Oceano Pacífico.

E isso, sem medo de assaltos, violência, sem poluição ou preocupações típicas de quem sempre morou em São Paulo...

Aqui eu conheci o Kam, em nov/03, que sempre me apoiou em meus sonhos, me ensinou a lutar pelo que eu quero e a nunca desistir.

Para conseguir realizar meu sonho, muitas pedras foram tiradas do caminho, mas muitas ainda irão aparecer. O importante é sempre olhar além dessas pedras e ver qual será o resultado disso...

De volta à Vancouver, desde 20 de abril e desse vez, como imigrante!
Depois de 10 meses em São Paulo, meu visto saiu... foram quase 10 meses longe do Kam, falando quase que diaramente pelo msn... a espera foi dura, mas valeu por tudo!!!
