So my buddy Leoncio made a pact with me to do one blog entry a week. I took him up on the challenge because frankly, I haven't updated this thing since ... I've started it.
It'll almost be a year since I've left town and came to The Big Apple AKA The Money Town. I will say with a bit of shame that I haven't really explored much here in NYC. Everything just costs money!
I did try to do something fun whenever I can, so here's a brief summary of what I've been up to since I've disappeared from Blogger:
1. Moved to Queens. Landed a job as an I.T. consultant for a small startup company.
2. Got lost plenty of times.
3. Discovered Chinatown... or Chinese community over in Flushing. You know you're playing the song from The Nanny in your head right about... now.
4. Spent an uneventful Christmas. Saw the tree at Rockefeller Center.
5. Slipped on ice walking downhill. Snow is only good when it's soft and fluffy.
6. Watched many a Simpsons-marathon in the comfort of my room.
7. Hosted friends from CA when they were here for the New Year.
8. Celebrated Chinese New Year on my own. Pan-fried a whole New Year fish on my own!
9. Celebrated my birthday by booking a room for 1 at a karaoke bar. Great times!
10. Went to Kate Voegele's concert at the Highline Ballroom. Second row! I could almost look up her dress! (but I didn't I swear!)
11. Hosted my sister's trip to NYC. Went to Cirque du Soleil's Kooza show with VIP package (Tapis Rouge). Best customer service I've experienced... so far. It was worth the $250 per ticket price! Gotta do Tapis Rouge again next time!
12. Went to Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill restaurant in Union Square (14th st by east village). BEST customer service! When you leave your napkin on the table to use the restroom, they pick it up and fold it back into the original setup. They also have a little metal scoop for scraping the table cloth of bread crumbs and any mess you make. Sexy sous chefs. Not sure about the uniform but the food was great! Try their pork loin if you ever go there.
That's pretty much it for now. I will blog about my Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy concert experience in the next post.
If you have any ideas or suggestions about what I should blog on, leave a comment!
Till next time...
