bachelor party-small success. boy had 6 lap dances before he started to pass out from both fatigue and drink. started dan off with a taste of the homeland...really hot filipina who specialized in massages. she was good...though she couldn't release that damn trigger point at my left T7-T8 parathoracic and the one on my right upper traps...but i guess her goal was for a different type of release (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). then tossed the bachelor a couple o' girls just to start things off...high point being these 2 asians doubling up on 'em---proclaiming that it was dream "come" true for him. of course, it would have been rude of me not to partake in the festivities...though i admit, i only had 2 lap dances...from the same girl---who claimed to be 1/2 korean, 1/2 irish--whatever, she was 100% naked, who was nice enough to go that extra distance and was rewarded for her performance. still have a thing against NY strip clubs-vegas and amsterdam having ruined me forever...but it was for a special occasion, so whatever. got home at around 4-4:30=ish, drank some more then passed out. dan wasn't concerned in the slightest that his fiance was mad at him for going and wasn't talking to him (he tried calling her twice, only to get her sister---it probably didn't help that i was yelling, "HOLY SHIT! CHECK OUT ALL THE NAKED CHICKS!")

oh, and don't go to gallagher's steakhouse---CRAP.

2nd pilates class...dorothy, why don't u just mix it up a little so i can continue my ritual of pain. ok, celvyn-u got it! man, it was a lot harder this time around...my form is better but trying to add that to the positions-good gaad!!

strained my left obliques...add that to my strained left triceps...but got up that damn wall--steep overhang and completed yellow!! red is next...OMG, spirit fingers everyone!!

ok, so i've won a measly $1500 from the nice people at Internal Revenue...i'm torn, put towards as part o' down payment for a car..or as bostonians say...a caaa. or to finally book my vacation to the grand canyon. decisions, decisions.

still waiting to hear from dan on whether or not his bachelor party is a go! now, how am i gonna make reservations to a good place by this weekend, if i don't know who's going!! some people are just kill joys. u only get married once (ha!) and in NYC, a little T&A is just that...very little T and even less A. so i don't know why his fiance' is bitching and trying to stop this from happening. control at this level, more or less, determines the relationship from here on in...this is why you don't get married 6 months into your relationship. but who am i to judge? i shall run from the M word like thousands of screaming japanese from a guy in a rubber dinosaur suit.

phew...just got off the phone w/ an old ex...the can of worms first opened this morning, where i IM'd her a hello, just to be polite. i'm paraphrasing her response as...OMG, i have to talk to you, call me later. which means...yeah, much later. but of course, she's on IM tonite and we get to chatting...she's just been dumped, bf a jerk--ya know the drill, lend a sympathetic ear, commisserate by saying anything about my recent ex. she has a chance to go away--but under dubious circumstances that i just won't get into out of common decency--i offer my always sage advice, and hope she doesn't go. 1 hour later we actually realize why we're still friends, she talks, i listen and slap her into what i consider sense...and i hi-5 myself, thanking whatever deity is popular this week, that i'm not still with this dame. just gonna sit back and wait for the next psycho chick to come along.

spoke to a few of my friends...apparently, my sis/donny controversy, is the talk of the town amongst the filipino community...even my friend who just moved to NC--knew about it before i did! my friend jim called about throwing his wife a b-day party--which eventually went into a conversation about my sis--he has heard 3 different stories from his mom (who lives in florida). this is crazy...my ethnic group ladies and gentlemen!...and you wonder why i hung out the white folk.

yeaaaa!!! SNOW!!

Allowing for things to happen

gimme a break people...so i missed a day of blogging. please check out purple monkey for the lack blog for sunday. thank you.

anyway. survived family day with mom and sis. once again, had to sit in my sis' apt. cursing her to hell! upon completion of invoking the minions of the fiery abyss, i engaged in dimestore yoga with my mom who was suffering from back spasms. after demonstrating the cobra which is also known as mackenzie extensions in the PT world, we ventured out to canal street. have you guys noticed the plethora of asians there? they were everywhere. very weird. and i also saw...u won't believe it...a friggin' dragon!! and the asians were feeding it something, and the dragon looked like that dog thing from the neverending story. we ended up dining at the lobster king house...b/c hop kee was on freakin' vacation!!! WTF...i didn't swim through the river yangtze that was mott street to find this out...quite the disappointment. so this lobster king...his majesty wasn't allowing an audience today either...so we were escorted to the cellar, where we shared a table w/ some nice people. i miss dim sum...haven't had it in a long while.

there was an ipod remote famine at the ipod store. j&r was my saviour...i'm sure my remote and headphones are still under warranty---but have u tried to wait in line w/ those support folks?? and they make me feel very little...like it's my fault that their product is inferior to the rigors that is my everyday existense. so i sprang for the 40 bucks and am now quite content.

you know i've never been to battery park? i think i went to see the statue of liberty from the joisy side when i was 8. so i walked miyoki...i question his owners leash training b/c he is not up to my standard of walking---he's all over the place--the solution. the gentle leader...$25 at ur local petco. so cute though...big dog, afraid of little kickable yorkie. he won't stand a chance against the jubster and especially the duncster. speaking of which...haven't seen my dog all weekend. saw him this morning for like a 1/2 hour. i think my funk is actually b/c of lack of jubster in my house! it's like my boy is away at camp...empty nest syndrome!!

taping that traffic miniseries on usa right now...i bought the office 1st series 2 dvd set today. i was watching it last nite and i was just cracking up! apparently, one of these guys is up for the arthur dent role in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy movie!! can't wait to see how that turns out.

so of course, in what seems to be one in a recent string of wanton purchases, i had to have it. i don't have my dog! it's upsetting me, damn it!! spend i must to heal the wounds!!

so how 'bout that return of the king...4 for 4 in the globies! bill murray...friggin' awesome and there should have been special recognition for scarlett johannsen's rack. my god, in my book--she's got her 2 golden globies. of course, watched arrested development through the yawn that is called michael douglas--ooh, let's give him a special award for those romancing the stone movies---if only for the fact that it made for an excellent porn flick--romancing the bone. isn't catherine Z J award enough?

called my friend rick who moved to north carolina (probably being the only filipino w/in a 100 mile radius) last week. apparently, he's been MIA and no one up here has heard from him. thought he might have to squeal like a pig by now, but apparently he's ok...though they have no phone, no tv, no internet. but they do have a neighbor named cletus (jk) who says he has a purty mouth and that when they're bored, they re-enact their vietnam experience in the duhn phen valley---guess who get's to play charlie?

ok...off to eat some shite castle burgers (store bought) and watch the office until i pass out or choke on my own vomitus. whichever comes first.
