26 years of awesomeness

A fabulous birthday indeed. Saturday night was an absolute blast. My home-wrecker assemble was a success. However, 4 inch heels, not so much for dancing the night away. Something I was fully aware of, but wanted to be a fool & do it anyways.

I danced the night away, running into all sorts of people I knew the entire night. It was great!!! I randomly danced whenever my feet stopped throbbing, while my BFF & cousin sat in our claimed corner, criticizing any club-goer that unfortunately walked past them. lol The annual BFF shot took place 12am-ish to initiate the night of debauchery, then after that, th drink of choice was H2O. Sorry...I wanted to remember the evening & we all know I'm a light-weight. The designated "porno pole" was always fun to watch. We all just watched in amazement as numerous random couples would just claim the pole to basically reenact their own version of a soft porn. At one point we actually thought 1 set was a couple.....alas it was not, b/c sure enough, dude was humping the next chick soon after.

I went home with my dates for the evening, my Chilean gypsy bff & the dancing Nubian princess. Sadly, the one actual drink I decided to have at 3am kicked in on the cab ride home. Oh well, it'll suffice as a nightcap.

The morning began with what I can only describe as my own personal heat wave. At first I thought it was b/c the room itself was hot, so I threw the blankets off to try to cool down. My BFF was moving about opening windows & doors to try to cool the room down. We both stayed in bed till about noon, when we finally figured out that it wasn't in fact the room that was hot. IT WAS MY BFF!! She had a fever & was giving off heat like a mini-volcano. She was now an incubus of hazardous material. lol Apparently her flu vaccine went wrong & got her sick.

So off I went to have my birthday dinner with my parents at the glorious Pio Pio. A Peruvian heaven of yummalicious food! Unfortunately it was too late for my immune system, & I contracted a small dose of the flu. But no worries, I told myself tostones were the cure, so i dug right in! lol My parents had told the host that it was my birthday, so towards the end, they brought out my bday "tres leche" cake, while blasting "cumpleanos feliz" on the restaurant sound system, while flicking the lights on & off.....I'm assuming for theatrics. lol FUN....but embarrassing......but still fun!!

I spent the rest of the evening at a friends house, enjoying some Discovery Channel of the Alaskan snow birds & wolves. & towards the end, passed out on the couch while my fever broke.

At work, my co-workers & the director surprised me at the end of the day with THREE birthday cakes, that's rights 3!!!! lol AND my vacation time was approved for Costa Rica !!

An awesome bday indeed.......

Role Reversal Much

so i've been noticing for for quite some time now that the roles in relationships has changed. The men nowadays are looking for long term, meaningful relationships whereas the women , just dont give a damn about them anymore. lol
Not saying that the genuine interest for one isnt there, but I think women are over the hype. So either they're out there doing them & focusing on bettering themselves OR they went through the relationship & saw it wasnt what it was cracked out to be. Whereas the men, i can only assume, went through the test & trials, meaningless sex, party times & what not, & now realize, that said life isnt as fun as it seems. that they rather have something meaningful to hold onto.
i just find it funny b/c i remember way back when, in high school, all the boys strutting around like alpha males looking for mates, while the girls fawned all over them. very interesting how the times have changed.
my own experience...i did the relationship thing & well....im single now. so im just focusing on myself. working, saving money, just enjoying life & me-time. not saying that i dont want to be in-love, get married & have a kid, but, im just not dead-set on it anymore, if it happens it happens. I dont want to be in another relationship, i dont want to dedicate time into someone else, i want the option to walk away, i want to have fun & not be deal with "i called u, y didnt u pick up" stuff. i just wanna do me.
I think thats what alot of girls are experiencing, & theres nothing wrong with that. welcome to our world gentlemen. lol

here it goes....

so as i fall into what i would assume to call my "daily routine", i've come to the conclusion that i should fall into the blogging craze. not b/c it's a fad, i just think i have an interesting/funny life, so why not blog it....

my name is Christina, im a 25 yr. old Nuyrorican, living in the Bronx (NY). Even though I've lived in the BX my entire life...i DO NOT LOVE the Yankee's. I have my B.A. in Art History, alumni of Queens College & until now, retail was the majority of my work experience, with the occasional internship at a museum or two.

I'm currently working for the F.E.G.S. WeCare program. as you ask "what is that?" ......it's a welfare to work program. my postion is techinically the middle person between the office & the clinic. what a randomn career choice, i know. For awhile i was under the illusion that "duh i have a degree, of course i'm going to get a job" !!incorrect!!

I've realized that things just dont happen in a snap, it takes progression, you need a plan. So, here I am, with a big girl job, with salary & benefits, & even life insurance! My long term plan, F.E.G.S. actually has an art center, it deals with art therapy & rehab.

So there it is, to hopefully be working in that center. I give it a year, although at times I feel like I wanna pull my hair out with my current position.....

Even though this isnt my passion, gotta be hopeful that at some point, i'll get there.
