Birthday: Wonder Woman

Right after the Mexican wedding in September, I headed straight to the Monnalisa lounge over at Hotel Sorella in the City Centre at I-10 and Beltway. Can I say AWESOME! The lounge is just one of the coolest places I've seen in Houston. It's like we're in Miami or something! The best thing about it is that there is generally no dress code. I've seen dudes in shorts. But seriously, you don't want to go there in ghetto-ware and mess it all up for everyone. Inside, there's a fire place pit thing going on right in the center and outside, there's a POOL! But, it's small and I haven't seen anyone swimming in it yet, and I've been there twice so far. Some people will sit on the edge and give their legs a dip though. Too bad I'm not much of a drinker or I'll be there all the time with friends. Just chilling, gabbing and drinking. But back to Wonder Woman's birthday. She's one of the coolest chicks around. Very cool and very chill. I call her my uber hawt friend cos I can pretty much tell you that every guy friend of mine that has met her always contacts me asking me if she's single. Haha. Her friends decided to throw her a surprise birthday get together at Monnalisa. They had the whole back area roped off just for her! Such a lucky little lady. Her cousin even had this picture of her blown up so that everyone could sign it. I think she was like four or five years old? She was so cute! Haha. I think she was pleasantly surprised.

Trippin': New York City - Grand Central Station

87 E 42nd St
New York, NY 10017

Here are some of the worst ever fotos taken of the Grand Central Station. By the time we got there, it was late, we were tired and our legs and feet was just raw from all of the walking and biking. I had so many ideas picture and video wise but there was just not enough energy in me to carry through with any of them. I was just ready to get back to the apt for some serious shut eye. This complaint will most likely be a common occurrence in the remainder of my NYC blogs. Hah! The energy I had when I was in high school and college just doesn't exist anymore. Why art thou so lazeo! Aside from that, Grand Central was just simply beautiful. Sure does beat that stank-fest that is the Greyhound in downtown. Eek. The ceilings were painted in this blue-green color and finished with a myriad of constellations. It looks more like an embassy with the high ceiling and columns. Since it was around midnight, it wasn't bustling but it wasn't dead. I liked it better this way. I prolly wouldn't have enjoyed it as much with a gazillion people going every which way.

Trippin': New York City - Central Park

Regrettably, the long list of about fifty different things that I wanted to see in Central Park was left uncrossed. I had originally allotted about four hours to go all through out the magnificent park but after arriving into the city and walking around for the couple of hours, I knew that it just wasn't going to be possible to hit all my high points. So my other brilliant idea was to rent bikes and bike to all the things that I had wanted to see. That plan was sort of a failure. So I did not know that the inner park was off limits to bikes, and we were only allowed to bike along the trail that circled the entire park. It was PAINFULLY long. Talk about having to bike uphill. ACK! It was almost worth it when we hit the peak and began the free ride descent. That was pretty cool. There were other personal obstacles but I won't get into it. So below are the too few fotos that I have from the park. I wish so bad that I was able to take the fotos that I wanted. I guess that just means a future trip to big apple!

Musik Mundi: MoZella

You can hear MoZella's song Magic on those Motorola commercials where they're dogging on Apple with a slew of idon't and ican't do this and that. Who cares. The song is catchy and that's I why I even paid attention to it.
