day 2017
yay. summer is here. and i sweated to work. nothing like arriving in a sweaty t-shirt. and i even treated myself to a nice watermelon smoothie to cool down. can’t really complain about days like this when the weather is just perfect……..that is until a thunderstorm comes by later tonight. the big news in the nerd world today, though, is microsoft debuted their new home console (confusingly) called Xbox One.

day 2016
sometimes people from other places ask me what’s it like to live in ny…i like to say it’s like any other place. but what they’re really asking is what it’s like knowing that you pretty much live in a heightened security state all the time. ah yes…ever since the horrible events of 9/11 the country has never been the same. and high target places, like nyc, will always feel the specter of that day.

day 2015
another rainy day….another day of indoor tennis. can’t complain i guess. i did sneak in a nap so that’s all good. but, what i also have done lately is finish watching the first seasons of the new show Elementary on CBS. it’s a knockoff of the BBC version of the UPDATED version of Sherlock Holmes….but Americanized. huh? anyhoo…..i’ve always liked the Sherlock character and i decided to plunge into it when it debuted this past fall.

day 2013
just ate a giant steak and now i’m sleepy. it’s amazing how i can go the entire day at work, putting in more time than i’m scheduled, and not take a break….getting by on just a bagel and cream cheese that i ate earlier in the day. don’t know if that’s good or not…maybe my stomach ate itself by the end of the day, but man…eating a steak with some potatoes and veggies makes it all worth it. Continue Reading →
day 2012
tired. just got off the tennis court (where them club jerks actually shut OFF the super cool smart court thingy already….they’re gonna start charging soon…jerks) and just got out of the shower (where i always feel like i’m still sweating even after the shower) and now…i’m sitting. hooray for sitting. the knicks are winning (blegh), and i’m super relaxed. let’s talk tennis…. Continue Reading →
day 2011

day 2010
so i just walked into my apartment. knicks lost (ha). and i just had some yummy filipino food. to me, it still feels kinda weird having non-filipino waiters and waitresses serving you filipino food that mom used to make for you everyday…but whatever…because Jeepney was a 2 hour wait…went to Marharlika instead and it was good. still weird when the waiter pronounces “Kare-Kare” better than you…i swear i ain’t racist! Continue Reading →
day 2009
gaaaaaaaaaaaaah……..bulls are about to get blown out i think. blah. whatever. they already won the title in game 1. no need fro these miscellaneous games. anyways…that’s the not the big news of the day. the BIG news of the day was the return of THIS guy… Continue Reading →
day 2008

BUT…i came home to a box of goodies and treats courtesy of a friend. yay! Continue Reading →

day 2005
well my return the tennis court (after about a 2 week absence) has been PRETTY FREAKIN COOL. like….really….really cool. when i got to the club the guy at the desk told me that my and my hitting partner get to beta test a new on court tracking dealie. hmm….how do i explain. ya know how if you’re watching a tennis match they show you the stats? well….that’s EXACTLY what this system does!! yes. cool indeed. how’s it work? Continue Reading →
day 2004
so i think my butt is fully healed from sunday’s 40 mile bike dealie. the stinky part though is that i wanted to hit the tennis courts tonight, but most of the members of the club have pretty much left because of the changing in the memberships thing. so i’m essentially part of a tennis club where the guys i used to hit with are all gone. Continue Reading →
day 2003
so when you start the day pouring orange juice into your morning cereal, something really has to be wrong with you. that’s exactly what i did this morning. don’t know why. and…if i think about it…it’s not the first time i’ve done this. damnit…that was the last batch of Pops too. i had to throw it out and switch to…..Special K. meh.

Continue Reading →
day 1999
man….i can’t believe that i’ve been doing this for (almost) 2000 straight days. that’s kinda impressive if you think about it. well…not really if you REALLY think about it. i mean it ain’t THAT hard to just blather on about nothing every single day. and this all started before the facebook-twitter era…where nowadays everyone PRETTY much writes something every day anyway. Continue Reading →
day 1998
holy crap am i tired. so i had to get to work early today…which is fine…but the sucky part? i just got myself a memory foam mattress topper thingy for my bed and MAAAAAAAAAAN what a difference it makes. it’s like sleeping on a cloud! a super fun cloud of relaxing goodyness!! and waking up today was super hard to do. eventually i woke up but man…i can’t wait to sleep again tonight. but a couple of things.
