I love to karaoke. It was prolly one of the things I was looking foward to doing on the cruise since I haven't been in close proximity to a mic for quite some time now. The ship offered karaoke pretty much almost every night but we didn't get a chance to check it out until the very last night of our wonderful vacation. I was the first one to turn in my song. I always sing Like A Prayer. So I'm waiting for them to call out my name. I'm fidgety and a bit nervous. One of the hosts gets out there and starts talking about how he met a European guest there that shared this great story with him and he just had to call her out onto the stage. I had no idea what was going on. All I know is that he handed her the mic. She said a few words to him. I almost thot that I saw her mouth form the word 'prayer' but I took nothing of it. And then it happend. As I was tapping my feet on the floor in quick staccato fashion, the opening notes of MY song started playing. I was confused at first, thinking that they were playing the wrong song for her but then the stoopid European lady start singing MY song! *shakes fist* Bloody hell man! I was crestfallen and it showed from my head to my toes. I tried to submit my runner-up song, Foolish Games by Jewel, but alas, it was too late. Karaoke time only lasted another hour or so and there were already a bajillion requests. Boo! I hate you! So in honor of the song that never was ... I give you Like A Prayer.

Daily Shots: Meet the bf!

I haven't used my photobucket account in such a long time that when I went to play with it tonight, there's all these wonderful new editing tools! I was so excited! I'm not a tekkie geek at all so i'm usually very behind on the times. Anyhow, I've been wanting to increase the size of my photos and the only way that i know to do that would be to use a separate site that offer's free image hosting ... hence the photobucket. Sooo, here's my new foto/blog format as well as some things I did to a photo of the bf using the editing tools provided by photobucket. What do you guys think? Is the image too big?

Daily Shots: One for the kiddos

Here are a bunch of random shots ... cos that's how I do it.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend any of the foto fest events this year, maybe except for the one at SLEH, but that doesn't really count. Why?!? Because I'm freakin' LAZY!



I went to Zake for happy hour for the very first time the other day. That place is pretty big! It doesn't really look like it from the outside. No wonder they were able to throw a big New Year's bash there.



I sure do gots my peeps trained. Some friends and I went to get dessert at Ruggles. I went to grab some silverware and when I came back, they had arranged the dessert so that I could take my picture. Hah! Now if that's not super then I don't know what is.



If you didn't know, April is child abuse prevention month. I remember reading the sign incorrectly and leaving the prevention part out. Not cool! But anyhow, if there was a month for getting admonished by people who seriously hate their lives and the jobs that they seemingly suffer through, this would be it! This mean security lady barked at me to stop taking fotos. Cos it's not allowed. I almost threw out a 'says who?'. I'm so childish sometimes. Unlike some, I don't mind a little confrontation. But in any case, the reason may have been because it was the children's hospital. Why didn't someone tell me that I looked pervy when I creep around with my giganto camera?!? But on a more serious note. To all you crazy sicko's out there, beat yourself up for your own inadequacies. Leave others the hell alone.

Placenter: Berripop

A friend of mine went to New York last year and when she came back, she was in Pinkberry heaven. She could not stop craving this frozen yogurt that tastes just like yogurt! Now, Houston has caught up in this frozen yogurt trend and there are at LEAST 7 places in the greater Houston area that I can think of that serves this addicting stuff. When I say it tastes like yogurt, it literally tastes like the Dannon or Yoplait yogurt. Berripop is one of the better places. I didn't really like it too much at first because it was a bit too tart for me. But after you find yourself trying it over and over again cos your friend is already an addict, it really does grow on you. So yeah, when I'm in that area, I must stop by! They have a myriad of flavors, from original to things like mango, peach, pomegranate and green tea. Plus, they have a big selection of toppings. They have fresh fruit, healthy granola stuff and my fave: breakfast cereals! Think cap'n crunch and fruity pebbles.




I got in trouble for taking pictures inside. Stupid no photogtaphy rule! So my pictures aren't that interesting. I also wanted to take some pictures of my yogurt with the pretty toppings and all, but I ate it all up before I realized I was supposed to wait. Yup, that's how good it is. But in any case, I took a picture of the yogurt cup. The finished and empty yogurt cup.
