I'm gonna see the Goils in Concert....


I got tix to see the Spice Goils :D The show won't be 'til February though and the tour starts in December so gotta find me tickets to LA if possible.
I know, I know *shocks horrors* The Spice Girls of all people. They got me started though in paying more attention to music. Granted I listen to them, I don't listen much to boybands or Britney. But these girls though, ooo lala, I don't know what they do to me. But yea, I can do their songs and dance to a tee. The chances of those videos showing here!? Maybe never but then, never say never. Listening to them brings me back to when I didn't have a care in the world. I cringe a bit when I remember how I used to dance around in school, and around the family.to them, yeah how ___ but I was young. Oh wait, I can't say that since I still do to these days. Let's just say, these girls make me smile..
Things are finally settling. Been going on some trips: to NY, then to SC to attend a friend's wedding. I'll try not to promise to update but I really haven't sat down and have deep thoughts like I used to. Maybe that's a good thing.

I blued myself

Well it's Tuesday and just got back from lunch. Just ate at my desk today since I've been bringing food in to work, or try to at least. These past weeks have been good. The previous weekend, we actually had a spur of the moment trip and ended up going to Philadelphia which was about a 3-hr drive. We were gonna see The Bodies Exhibit like I mentioned but ended up just making the trip. It was nice up in Philly. We got to see the original House and the Senate building, and got to see the Liberty Bell as well. We just passed by it since halfway through, we had to evacuate the building since somebody thought the Fire alarm thing was the exit button. So yeah.. We walked around in the South Street which was really nice. It reminded me of Harajuku. The feel of the clothing stores, and them being actually open 'till 11 pm or so. Definitely unlike DC where everything shuts down around 9.

This weekend, we found ourselves in NYC. It was just me and Cs- though since I wasn't sure how my mom would feel about staying at a hostel so we didn't take her with us. Cs- and I just caught the bus that leaves from DC to NYC for $35 which I thought was a good deal. It saves us the hassle of driving which I am NOT doing in New York anytime soon, and we get to sleep during the ride if need be. We got there around noon or so. Not even 10 mins into getting there, I sorta got harassed.


While we were walking towards the Penn Station entrance, a woman that was a few steps behind patted my butt. Did I just feel someone on my ass? was what I thought, and I turned around and there she was grinning, her with her waist-long braided hair, headphones on with a grin on her face. She put my arms around me, and went walking with me and asked if I had some change. I said, No, I don't have any cash with me at the moment but she insisted. I was trying to feel around my pockets if I did, during which she's rubbed my face, and called me sexy with my shaved head, and pinching my nipples. Cs- was a few feet away and was just cracking up. I asked him if he did and he had some change at least. So he handed her some, but before walking away, she went for a final swoop and actually grabbed my crotch. I just giggled since it's kinda silly to be mad about it.


After that, went to the hostel and tried checking in but we can't check in 'til 3 pm and we got there around noon. Just put our stuff in storage, and stepped out since we're starving. We went to Carnegie Deli and had one of the best sandwiches ever, and I don't like sandwiches too much! Sat next to a mother and daughter we ended up talking with about different cities, restaurants etc. After that, just walked around as to where I don't know exactly. We stopped by H&M (I know they're everywhere but the one in NY's different). I finally found the perfect pea coat I've been looking for. Later that evening, we met up with our friend and had dinner at an Italian place. Just talked with him and got to hear more about when he lived in New York.

After the meal, we made our way out to Astor Place to watch the Blue Man show. It was an interactive show, and it was really fun when they pick someone in the audience and make them a part of the show. Once that was over, we met up with Rey down at Hell's Kitchen. Looking cuute Rey! It was great seeing him again after meeting him the first time over a year ago. He's the first blogger I ever met*smiles I had a good time with him, and Darryll and Rob. Hey Darryll!! They later on took us to The Eagle *grins I've actually enjoyed going to the one here in DC so it's cool to see where it actually started. Left around 3 to get some sleep since we've been up since 5 am.

Woke up. Had breakfast, and walked around Chinatown, SoHo, St Mark's Place and tried to see the Statue of Liberty but there were too many people in queue. Took Cs- to the Uniqlo which has changed a LOT since Jon took me there a last summer. It was awesome to be back again. Really don't have pics yet since we left the cam at our friend's car. Guess that'll be it for now. Enjoy the rest of the week!
