Last Saturday, we had a soccer tournament. I was nice for everyone to come together and enjoy the sport from our childhood. Let me tell you a small story. When I was a kid at the age of five soccer...

David Tabaruka Hope that everyone had a good time during the break. I went to MA with my friends and we had amazing time. I'm glad to be back on campus and I'm also excited about tomorrow 's election for Student Government Association because I'm running for the position of Director of Finance. Hope to see all of you there tomorrow. Thank you. tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/champlain/DavidTabaruka//382.8564 2009-01-12T04:39:17Z 2009-01-12T05:14:46Z

David Tabaruka Hi everyone, this is exciting semester. I don't know about you, but I'm so excited to be back in Vermont after four months in Montreal. Once again "WELCOME BACK." This semester I'm hoping to get some good stuff to post on my blog. If anyone has an idea or something that I should talk about on my blog please let me know. I'm so glad that you and I got a chance to see the last year of the first decade of the 21st century. It is exciting and it is a great privilege for all of us that don't take life for granted. It is also exciting to see this defining moment in the history of the United States the first African-american president moves into the White House. I know also many of you made new resolutions for 2009. I wish you a good luck. How ever I want you to remember that anytime you keep doing what you do, you end up with the same result. So, I advise you to try something new and fresh, to get a different result. For example, if you used the front door to get into your house everyday, you will still get the same picture of how your living room is setup. But if you try to get into your house through the back door, you might get a different picture of the same living room. What I'm try to say here it is that if you didn't do a good job last semester and your GPA is low, you might have to change your method of studying. I believe that in life we all get 100% chance to be successful in life. Your success in life depends on how you use this 100%. For example, if you use 10% of your chance toward your education and 90% of enjoying life by doing something no-productive, you are going to fail in your studies. Make sure that when you divide this chances in your life, you use a high percentage (or put much effort) in what you think it is important for you right now. Thanks for reading my blog and once again welcome back. We missed you. Take care. Someone said "The best life is the rest of life." Peace. tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/champlain/DavidTabaruka//382.8275 2008-12-05T00:34:07Z 2008-12-05T01:36:43Z

The pieces that I'm about to show were made by different canadian aritists and they all have a meaning into it. These pieces are located mostly on Sherbrooke street. This first sculpture is the work of Richard Mason Twin 6'...

David Tabaruka Twin 6' Hearts is my favor sculpture. It was made by Jim Dine. These iconics symbolize love. The Twin 6' Hearts is a gift from the International Friends of the Montreal Museum. In fornt of the museum of Fine Arts on Sherbrooke street there is a bronze sculpture entitled Claudia is of a strong serene cow at rest. It was made by canadian artist Joe Fafard. The next piece is call "CACTUS" made by Van Fisher At the corn of Peel and Sherbrooke street there is a sculpture I admire the most. It is call "LA TENDRESSE" (tenderness) by Paul Lancz. It describes a relationship between mother and child. Thanks for visiting my blog. Please let me know if there is something you want know about the city of Montreal so while I'm here I can look at it and tell you.

Last Tuesday we visited a company called CONTERM. Conterm offers depot and repair services to the other companies that use containers. It is located in Montreal at the industrial park. It is a small company with large responsibilities. When a...

David Tabaruka When a truck comes in carrying a container that need to be fixed. The container is inspected for all damages and registered in the system at the gates. Here is a container in repair shop After the repair, it has to be repainted. But you cannot just use any color. Each company has its own color. For instance a company such as Hapag-lloyd uses orange color on its container. This is the room in which each container would go through after the repair shop. After the painting all the information written on the container have to be put back again. This company is not just repair container, based on the request of clients sometimes it transforms containers into a store instrument. Walking through the containers yard The challenge in this business at this time is that Chine is able to produce containers at the cheap price compare to our companies. Because the material needed are cheaper in China. Here is a one bedroom that was made from a container of 53 footer high cube. Take a look inside. It is beautiful and it costs only $35,000. Here we were learning how to open up a container. You might think that is easy, but it is not. Thank you for visiting my blog. I'm sure that you noticed some typos in my writing, I'm still working on my English and soon it will get better. Please! I will be happy and encouraged if you leave me a feedback or a comments. Thanks for your time and see you next time ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/champlain/DavidTabaruka//382.7682 2008-10-23T19:14:39Z 2008-10-23T20:08:20Z

So...today along with a group of students and teachers in International Business major, we went to visit one of the largest port in Canada "Port de Montréal." The port is located 1600 km inland. Every year the port handles more...

David Tabaruka ]]> THis is a vessel waiting to be unloaded. So the guy who gave us a tour said that they will start to unload it tomorrow and they vessel plan to leave on Sunday. The large vessel that the port can handle at the port of MOntreal, carries 4200 containers. Here is the carrier, which is a huge machine that moves the container from the truck to the train. That container is 40 feet and probably high cube (9'6 high).]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/champlain/DavidTabaruka//382.7216 2008-09-12T17:34:03Z 2008-09-12T17:57:24Z

David Tabaruka This was a welcoming party at the Residence of UQAM. So everyone in the Residence was invited. We got a chance to meet new students from other countries such as Tunisia, Senegal, Cameroon, France, Belgium and Mali. Fun Fun Fun!!!!!! These people are friends that I made from the party. Since then, if I do not have a lot of homework I hang out with them. They speak only French, so sometimes they ask me question about the American English.]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/champlain/DavidTabaruka//382.7144 2008-09-04T01:20:31Z 2008-09-04T01:33:52Z

David Tabaruka Soulfest is a Christian festival were people gather together to worship, camping, and meeting up new people from all over the country.]]> At the Soulfest we had four stages where different musicians performed and this one was the main stage where the popular artists sang. This is a group of three girls called "Maeve." They were amazing, I really like their music. Here is the funny story, while I was walking in the camp trying to find my friends I came across of these three guys. Then, they asked if I wanted free hugs (kind for reminded free hugs in VT), so I said yes why not. Honesty, I ended up hugging more that twenty people. Then we decided to take a picture together. It was cool. Another happy moment was after listening to the Maeve (the three girls in previous picture) at the top of mountain, I took the chair lift to go back at the camp. I shared the chair lift with a couple from MA and we had a good conversation and the wife asked me if she could play music for me with her guitar. So, on this picture, I was sitting in their van, enjoying good musics. This young man is one of the kids that the ChildVoice organization support, He was invited to speak up their stuggles growing in Uganda. He is one of the kids used as soldier in Norht of Uganda. Now, through this organization he found his destiny, he is no long a soldier but a messenger of peace around the world. Thank God for that. ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/champlain/DavidTabaruka//382.6948 2008-07-28T03:11:37Z 2008-07-28T03:13:13Z
