Currently Obsessed
with this Samoan man and his beautiful voice. Wish he was releasing something new soon. The first video is of his original song. The second video is of two young guys, NP Melody, doing a cover of it. I must admit, they do a simple, but lovely version, too! “Can’t Help Myself” – Alo Key … Continue reading
It’s Fat Tuesday, Cher!
On this Mardi Gras, there’s nothing more appropriate than to be partying in the streets of the French Quarter down in New Orleans. Instead, I’m sitting at home, reluctantly blogging, thinking up more excuses not to go to the gym. I’ve never really celebrated Mardi Gras. One year we had a company event, consisting of … Continue reading
Return to the Land of Smiles and the Island of the Gods
Even though cruising the Greek Isles briefly crossed my mind as my major vacation for later this year, it would still be much more expensive than going to Southeast Asia. Thus, my plans are to return to Thailand (but NOT over-touristy Phuket) and, yes, to Bali. I’m willing to give Thailand another try – in … Continue reading
Romance Report
Alright, lovebirds, Valentine’s Day weekend officially ends at midnight tonight. Before that happens, I have a question for you. What is the most romantic thing someone has ever done for you? Then, what is the most romantic thing that YOU have ever done for someone else? Inquiring minds want to know! Off the top of … Continue reading
My Gay Valentine
My Valentine’s Day actually began on Thursday, February 13th. My favorite food truck, CupKates Bakery, was advertising Strawberry Shortcake cupcakes as their special for 3 days, in honor of Valentine’s Day. I picked up 3 of them – one for my boy, A; one for my female boss, C; and one for myself. A. wasn’t … Continue reading
I Survived
Well, the needle drama was just that – drama, on my part. The lab at California Pacific Medical Center opens at 7:00 a.m., but there was no way you’d find me there at that time. My doctor had said that an appointment wasn’t necessary, so I strolled in around 8:30 a.m. last Thursday. To my … Continue reading
Still in Hawaii Mode
Now that the weather in San Francisco has gotten slightly colder the past day or so, I’m craving sunshine and the beach again. And since I’ve skipped Musical Monday for a few weeks now (possibly more), here’s your song for this week. “Love On This Beach” – I.A. featuring Jordan T.
Aghi
Aghi is the Italian word for needles. The reason I was thinking of that word is because I remember having a conversation with an Italian guy and used the word “needles.” Can’t remember why. His response was “Oh, like the Chinese food!” That made me laugh. He obviously thought I was referring to “noodles.” I … Continue reading
Movie Madness
On my most recent trip to Hawaii, I’d purchased a gift certificate from AMC Theaters for one of my friends there. Come to find out, there are NO AMC Theaters in the Hawaiian Islands, only Regal and Consolidated. I’ve never even heard of Consolidated, but those are the main movie theaters in Hawaii. Thus, I, … Continue reading
MUNI Took My Money!!!
Back at the start of October, as I rushed down to the Tenderloin to pick up some authentic banh mi for my bosses & a few other people in the office, MUNI had their transportation officers all over the place. As I descended the bus in the Tenderloin, they asked to check my Fast Pass. … Continue reading
