My Own Manga
This is a little freaky. As I was looking for a manga to read online, I came upon Bambi and Her Pink Gun. It’s not freaky because it has my name on it … what’s freaky is the way she looked.
In 2009, I played Murgatroid in the play “Imagine That”. You want to see how I looked like then compared to Bambi of the manga?
Jump Rope for Heart
Jump Rope for Heart is a nationwide fund raising program to help students learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and heart health while raising funds to support vital research and educational programs. I watched Finn’s 3rd class this morning (there’s only one 3rd grade class). They’ve been practicing their routines every gym class and what they do is they formed into groups of 3 or 4 and then they made up their own routine with the music. There were really good!
I’m proud to say that Finn’s group did unique tricks in their routine and he was the one doing it (^_^) Check out this video.
They do this event every year and grades 3-5 participate. In Middle and High School, they do Hoops for Heart instead. They all did a great job and it shows that they had fun creating their routines and showing them off.
10 Years and Counting
On Monday, the 5th of February 2001, Jojo and I exchanged vows in front of family and a handful of friends. Today we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Doesn’t seem like 10 years have passed. If you think that’s an achievement, imagine we’ve been together a total of 18 years already! Yup, he became my boyfriend 18 years ago (^_^)
So since this is a milestone, we thought of making it an extra special celebration. Yesterday, Jojo took off from work so we can have lunch together. We went to Ichiban and had a wonderful meal of traditional Japanese dishes. He had a katsudon while I ordered from the dinner menu – a chicken negimaki bento. Soooo goood and so filling coz we had 3 different appetizers too.
We dropped of Finn at a friend’s around 6pm so he can sleepover. Jojo and I went to the city for dinner at Del Frisco’s. He made reservations long before and when we got to our table, there were flowers too! As our wait person said “He did very well.” She congratulated us and offered us some champagne while we decided on what to offer. We got the tuna tartare for appetizer, a filet mignon 8oz for me with asparagus and a prime ribeye 16oz for him with sauteed mushrooms. O M G … it was divine! This is how you cook steak. No need for special sauces, just plain salt and pepper. I can’t tell you enough that the steak was absolutely perfect! The sides were also delish! Everything was just heavenly! No wonder Zagat rated it a 26 out of 30. Service was great too, no complaints there. Of course this all comes with a price but I highly recommend this for a special occasion. Definitely not someplace we’ll go to whenever we want steak … too expensive but for a very special treat, a must!
After dinner, we walked to Times Square since we still had an hour to kill before the last bus home. We sat at TKTS and made fun of the tourists (hehehe) and tried to get in their shots =P I think one of them noticed us smiling at her camera coz the next shot she took was certainly pointed low and close-up, hahaha. I actually thought of offering to take their pictures for a fee (~_^) Yeah, we didn’t have anything better to do but people watch and fashion police them and think of ways to rip them off. But we didn’t do that … rip them off I mean, hehe.
We got home after midnight and exchanged gifts then. Got me a lot of Godiva!!! Oh and the ring was an added bonus, hehehe. I got him the necklace.
This morning, we picked up Finn before 11 and then went to Mitsuwa for lunch. Stocked up on my goodies too. Then we watched some anime at home. We would have wanted to have some more alone time today, maybe watch a movie or something but well, maybe next time.
