where the heck have you been?

Asks this blog.

Umm...actually, I've been all over the place? Last I remember I went to NYC for a week of ridiculously expensive eating (but omg, so totally worth it!), and to be an actual tourist with my friend, Trumpet. It was his first time in the Big Apple, and I have to say it was actually fun doing the tourist thing, no matter how much the natives probably hated seeing those red double decker buses. I even got to go on a water taxi that took us close enough to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and a small part of New Jersey. Trumpet left on the day of my brother's bday, and my brother and I went out to dinner with some of his friends to an Italian restaurant that was just...omg, good. One thing about NYC is the food. I have to admit, the variety and randomness is just too appealing. It might be just one reason why i have to go there at least once a year(which i've been doing for the past three).

Then it was directly off to SoCal. My brother ended up flying with me across the nation to spend time with familia. He was only there for a weekend, but I was there for almost a week. Friday evening was some bonding time with my friend Ness where we ended up missing the ceremony for our friend's wedding (08/08)and ended up at the reception a tad early. We left that place around 930pm or so to go frolicking down melrose to the Village Idiot, then off to somewhere in West LA at Father's Office. Interesting. FAther's Office has some dope ass cheeseburgers and fries. Headed off to Ness' apartment where we agree, her and i have no sense of decorational style. haha

Saturday was a chill at day with the family, but I got super angry at my dad. He said something that has made me question a lot of things about myself, and I hate that he has the ability to do that. You figure parents would be supportive after living on your own, debt free from the parents for about 4 years. Guess Not.

Sunday was a BBQ where I saw my ex boyfriend with his wife and child. And get this, the wife is pregnant again. it was like an elephant in the room because i've never met his wife, and from what i last heard - i was like his last girlfriend before her. So yes, I felt awkward...not sure if anyone else did.

Monday I went to visit a friend who just had her baby. He's too cute!

Tuesday was chill at home, and then Wednesday was when i flew back to the bay. SOme miscommunication ensued, and with what my dad had said still bothering the heck out of me...it just didn't make the miscommunication any better. It's all good now.

Then the infamous first day back to work on Aug. 18th. BOO! So yah...been busy.
Anyways, tha'ts all. I went for a run this morning, or well, attempted to run, but my ankle started acting out on me. I decided it was probably best to walk the rest of the way home instead of trying to run it. I got a little bit sad about that, but if my body isn't read to perform the tasks i have for it to do, then there's no point in probably injuring it again. I think.

Alright, that's all. I gotta shower. Yes. I didn't shower yet, who cares!

New York, NEw york...

Big city of dreams.... or what my friend likes to say, "this place is surrealistically real."

So, after the lovely adventures with the Bay area folks, I decided to send myself off to the East Coast to visit my brother in lovely NYC, along with my friend Trumpet. So far, our trip has just been freakin' dope. It's only been TWO days, but we've done so much. By the way, this is Trumpet's first trip out to NYC, while this is my 4th? I think it's my 4th, yup it is.

Anyways, I arrived Friday night and was almost hustled into taking a non-yellow car into the city. I was sweating from all the humidity. It usually takes 1/2 hour to get to my brother's place, but because the state of New York decided it would be a good idea to repave it's freeway - it took a little over an hour, at which my brother was waiting for me at his apartment. Only thng was ...he was going out to a party that night, and left for the party around 130am, which was the time I basically got to his place. Madness. I was hungry coz the blue chips from Jetblue just were not good enough, so I ordered chinese food which was delivered to the door at 2am. What other place do i know in San Francisco that does that? umm, NONE that i know of! My brother told me he was not gonna be home, and that i could crash on his bed. omg - his OH, so damn comfortable bed! I loved it. WAtched tv, went online for a bit and then totally crashed around 3:30am EST. It wasn't a lot of stuff, but i was pretty tired from the trip.

Woke up Saturday morning to the sounds of my alarm going off 6:30am PST, and then my brothers' alarms going off at 730am EST. so my sleep, was not real sleep. Trumpet came in that morning, and he didnt' get to sleep on his red eye flight coz of some crazies behind him that were talking more than they should, and the flailing person who sat one seat away from him...

well, i am getting pretty damn sleepy. i think i will end it here for now...but yah. that was a boring entry. Goodnite hahahaha
