TERMINATOR SALVATION →
Saw Terminator tonight. I enjoyed it for the simple reason of seeing what happens post Judgment Day. I also liked the little things in the movie that paid tribute to previous Terminators.

Birthday hangout 2009
Today is the third annual triple birthday fiesta with my good friends Mark and Marisa. We’re going to do the same thing we did last year, just because it was easier from planning standpoint and everyone seemed to have a good time last year, starting with Radegast at 3pm, Fette Sau around 5pm and then Barcade afterwards.
Even though my actual birthday was 12 days ago, I’ve always had...

Me and the Gimp Scooter
Ever since I started using the “gimp scooter,” everyone looks at me, like I’m some celebrity (one photographer actually took photos of me down in SoHo!). I always question why people are constantly looking at me, and then I arrive at the fact that no one has really seen a gimp scooter before, which I can understand. But, with all this attention I’m getting, part of me...

This is exciting. Blogging add-on service Zemanta is planning to donate $3000 to five charities who get reblogged the most before June 6. We know we’re new on Tumblr, but we’re going to give this a try.
What can Goods for Good do with $3000? A lot.
Consider some of this:
$39 clothes 80 orphans in Malawi
$250 buys toys for 4 nursery schools at Consol...
Dinner with the Hoppys
Tonight, the Hoppys (Mike and Idene) invited me to their place for some yummy dinner. Really great time, and we saw Wanted (good action flick, btw). Times like tonight with dear friends always puts me in a good mood. And since it’s a Sunday night, the good vibes from dinner is helping me get ready for the week ahead!

Frustrating
My whole social life has been turned upside down because of the broken foot. Now, I really need to stay away from crowded spots, and places that aren’t “handicapped” friendly, i.e. places with lots of stairs and steps. But, I keep telling myself that it’s only a matter of time, and soon, when I go back to my doctor on June 1 for another set of x-rays, and hopefully by then...
Catching up with old friends
Last night I met up with Dominick, George, and Christine. Dom and George are my friends from HS, Christine I’ve known since 7th grade. Was very nice to see them. Last time we all saw each other was 14 years ago, that’s just insane! Hoping we can keep in touch, and not wait another 14 years.
