This is My Life

Busy weekend, but it was fun.

Friday night, Jasmine and I went to Crowbar. The place is huge, one area looks like your typical bar, chair, couches, and a small area for people to dance while the other one looks like a warehouse with a huge dance floor. The latter plays club/techno music while the first one plays R&B/Hip Hop music. Drinks were expensive, $11 for vodka with cranberry juice! It was a mix crowd, they have Chelsea Boys, New Yorkers, tourists, most of which are from the affluent part of Asia, i.e. Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore, yuppies, and students. The night started slow, Jasmine and I didn’t like the music, so we spent much of our first hour drinking and wandering around the place people watching. Soon enough we were dancing, on the floor, on the couch, going from the R&B area to the other. A guy offered me a drink, I politely refused. A Chinese guy kept saying hi to me and I ignored him, this time I think I was a bit rude. I think I need serious medical attention. We got home sometime after 3 in the morning.

Saturday, the plan was we’ll go to the gym first and we never did, it was an exercise in futility. Feeling guilty, we went to

SOHO

to go shopping and do our cardio at the same time. We must have walked at least 2 miles! I successfully influenced my friend to buy a beautiful black leather designer bag. We had brunch at Dos Caminos, according to them their famous; yes I know I’m cynical, especially for their guacamole. I had their breakfast quesadilla and a glass of red sangria. For myself, I bought on sale a silver edition shoes (in blue) from Kenneth Cole and a sweater from Mexx.

Sunday, again, part of the plan was we’ll go to the gym and wanting to be consistent on our behavior, we didn’t act on it. It remained a plan. We went to mass near the office,

World

Financial

Center

, and went straight to DSW to buy shoes. I bought a nice pair of BCBG sandals for my sister for only $30! It’s to die for, it’s really beautiful, and Jasmine bought one for herself. I also bought sneakers for my mom. After shopping we went back to the apartment to deposit our booty for the day and went straight to the movie house, the one near Embassy Suites. I wasted $10.75 on Elizabeth Town. The movie was no good. It was dragging, boring, and what an awful story. What’s worse is that there’s no cute in the movie! No redeeming quality whatsoever. I stayed late Sunday night watching Pretty Woman

It’s been raining for the past 8 days here in New York. 32 more days and we’d be needing Noah and his ark but for me an aircraft carrier, USS Nimitz or HMS Ark Royal, would do.

Jasmine and I are going out tonight to Crobar in Chelsea. I’m going to drink and dance the night away!

Tomorrow, I want to watch a broadway musical and go shopping. I want to buy new shoes.

Enjoy your weekend!

Rain rain go away come again after October 28!

I only have 3 weekends left here in New York and it had to friggin’ pour! I don’t want to go out…my shoes will get wet and I don’t look good with an umbrella…and i don’t think I can pull off carrying a parasol…lol

Tomorrow I’m going apple picking…under occasional heavy rain according to the Weather Channel…and I am not thrilled.

To all those doing the rain dance….please STOP! Allow me to have my last 3 weekends in New York as rain free as possible!

I don’t like Kathy G., I don’t find her funny.

I just had dinner and I’m bloated. Janet and I had pork chop and stewed vegetables with ground pork. Janet prepared the food and I cooked the rice.

I’ll lose weight when I go to Phoenix….or not. My diet would be limited to take-out and junk food.

How pathetic. I can’t think of anything to write.

I need to go to the gym. Mukha na akong buteteng laot. Ang laki ng tyan ko!

I need to plan my itenerary for the weekend. I’ll watch a broadway musical, explore the Village, go to the Met, buy a jacket.

I’m in love with Ipod Nano. I don’t know how long I could resist the temptation.

I started my day with siopao for breakfast courtesy of Janet. I then went to the Gershwin Theater, this is where they show the musical Wicked, to meet up with Francine, a friend of mine from college. From Gershwin we walked to Serendipity hoping to grab some food for a late lunch, it was 2 in the afternoon already and we’re both famished but alas there’s a 2 hour wait. So we left our name and left. While looking for a place to eat we pass by Dylan Candy House, it’s like a Willy Wonka Candy Shop…its amazing! We took pictures, ate a few chocolates, and left. We ended up in Le Pain Quotidien, according to Fran it translates to Daily Bread or something like that. I ordered Chicken Curry Salad…but it’s actually a sandwich…and it was good…i liked it. Fran had a Cheese board, there were 5 different kinds of bread and 5 different kinds of cheese as well…it was nice…but i liked mine better.

We then went straight to Serendipity for our dessert. There’s really nothing special about the place other than the fact that it was featured in a movie. The dessert we had were nothing spectacular..they were good…but not something to die for.

After dessert we went to Central Park. I like the Park better when it’s not covered in snow and my butt is not freezing. The park is filled with all sorts of people, street performers, couples, bikers, joggers, tourists, guys playing volleyball, kids and parents, and dogs…beautiful dogs.

We also went to Gray’s Papaya, they say it’s the best tasting hotdog in the world…i don’t know about that but it’s cheap alright…2.75 for two hotdogs and 1 drink!

My feet hurts…my toes are numb.
