Kids and their Reasoning

This video crack me up everytime. I finally decided to post if after several friends request. Hope you get a kick out of it.

Personal Shopper

Oddly enough my first adventure of the summer came as a surprise to me, I was a personal shopper. I got a phone call from a good friend asking for help in his shopping extravaganza. Basically, he needed a female's opinion and expertise might I add in order to complete his so called mission...dressing 101. I was more than happy to oblige him since I was doing absolutely NOTHING and was looking for new and exciting things to accomplish this summer. Apparently I can cross this one off my list, personal shopper for one-check. The best part was I completely impressed myself with my talent not to mention my lovely client as well. We were finished within an hour or so. I managed to critique quickly, scour rapidly, and rack up amazing sales. I must say I would hire myself..minor detail I already do that regularly. So if anyone would like to embark on another adventure with me this summer let me know I have plenty to accomplish, just not quite sure what that exactly is just yet.

Uninspired

Its been at least a month and some days now since I've last blogged. With the wrapping up of work, and the month of Kristel (whom I love), I really had little to no time at all. Now that I've been home on vacation, I feel so uninspired to write anything. Of course I've been active, sleeping, eating, watching tv, and the occasional getting out of the house. Shoot with gas prices soaring who really wants to go anywhere. 

I do have a list of items that I want to accomplish this summer, however I have yet to look at that list. So if anyone would like to help inspire me call me up and lets make plans. I seem to have all the time in the world. Till then I'll blog about my many adventures to come.

Morning Laughs

So everyone morning at work I get a chance to read the comics section of the paper. I look forward to starting my day off in a good mood. No other comic makes me laugh more than this one. I know...I know you have already heard me rant about this comic strip before, but I can't help it...its funny. Hope you can get a kick of out these as much as I do. Enjoy!

Hopeless Romantic

Last night I went to go see my first Opera entitled La Boheme. You see I  have always loved the arts since I was a child, and lately I've been making it a point to soak up as much of it as I can. In the past few weeks I've visited, plays, musicals, museums, dance performances, art show, and now an opera. 

I pretty much knew what to expect, which mind you is not a woman with a viking hat on and braids belting out her vocals to the audience. I knew that it would be in a language I did not understand but the story of the opera would lend itself a hand. Thank goodness that there were subtitles not only in English but in Spanish as well. Although the subtitles were on a screen above the stage, the great seats Merari and I scored (five rows from the stage) more than made up for it. 

The tragic love story took the both of us on a joyful ride, through laughter, sarcasm, wit, and of course poetry lines that make anyone want to be in love(Thankfully I am).  La Boheme only reminded me of what a hopeless romantic that I am.  Both of us discussed how nice it would be to dance under the stars, enjoy candle lit dinners, night walks on the beach, etc. you get the picture. Hollywood has done a fabulous job of feeding us romantics great scenes and romances that only stir up our imagination. Of course, at the end of the opera even knowing what was going to happen thanks to the synopsis, I still cried.  These things get me every time, somehow I find myself relating to them as if I were one of the characters.

All I can say is, if you love the arts and are willing to try something new, than give the opera a try. Its about an experience and hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Paula- Thanks for the tickets wish you could of joined us...

Update

1. I'm out of the boot my doctor put me, and couldn't be more happier. I know that my doc probably wouldn't approve seeing he doesn't know it yet, but soon will.

2. I got a chance this past thursday to support the Arts. David and his other classmates displayed their lovely art work at the Mu-Dai show at the Freedom Tower. I must admit therewere some interesting pieces, some that I honestly didn't understand. If your interested you should check it out at: Mu-Dai.com

3. Friday after work I met up with my best friend to see the Hugh Jackman flick Deception.  Now the both of us are huge Hugh fans, but unfortunately this wasn't one of his greatest films. This is right above his movie Scoop. Needless to say we still enjoyed the movie due to the fact that we get to see the villain side of Hugh.

4. Yesterday, I attended Anne's Graduation Party. We took part in the burning of all her college papers, watching Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, and of course good laughs and great food.

5. Lastly, today I got a chance to hang out with some friends whom I haven't really had a chance to just sit down and talk with. Afterwards I spent the day at home bonding with my lovely family which I've missed. Its funny how the things that annoy you most about your family are things you miss most about them.

 

Trouble Yet Again

Funny thing happened today...ok maybe not so funny. I was playing soccer at work and while demonstrating a specific move I came down on my left ankle. Of course my ankle didn't feel like supporting me yet again, so it decided to roll under and produce a loud "pop" noise.  You see my left ankle and I have been through torn ligaments, several sprains, and bruises on upon bruises. I'm guessing my ankle has had absolutely enough and just decided not come to my rescue. (I think its mad at me....hence the throbbing pain and swelling) Thankfully a co-worker of mine drove me to the hospital to get an x-ray and to see the doctor. Diagnosis: Sever sprain, I'm in an air cast and on crutches. Good news I'm out for two days, Bad news I have no clue what I'm going to do with myself. I go back to see another doctor on Thursday to asses the severity of the situation. Hopefully, my ankle and I will have made an amends by then and I will be cleared to work.
