The craziest man of the year goes to...

okay heres the recap of my week:
-wednesday: there was filming for the poh show and i ended up being an extra for it then after that i had dance practice were i taught tristan and ling the dance just incase one of the dancers cant make it. after dance practice, me, lorelie, guido mike and j.d. went to artichoke coz i was craving that pizza every since i was in the poconos. lorelie and mike got the crab slice, j.d. had the margherita and i had the spinach/ artichoke slice. i was satisfied with the pizza (consider it my quick fix when i cant go to difara). after artichoke, lorelie needed some sweat pants for dance practices so we went to forever 21 but unfortunately, they didnt have any sweatpants. after trying to shop we realized that we are still hungry so we tried going to chipotle but it was close so we just ended up walking to shake shack and we had some lemon merengue frozen custard which was pretty good. after shake shack, i walked lorelie to her dorm and took the 12 midnight path train. i ended up being home at 12:30 am.
-thursday: i had class but ended up missing it coz im lazy and i got distracted with jon and kate plus 8 but i did go to cna board practice for the 1st time and all i can say is that alot has change since i took the test like the privacy issue and the wheel locks on the beds. i felt like a fish out of water but thank god for this filipina that helped me out to get used to it. after practice, i had another dance practice but it wasnt as bad as i expected. then after that, me and vargas decided to go may's for some udon, takoyaki and musubi. pretty decent price for japanese food. i got home at 12:30 am again.
-friday: as i posted last time my left knee was pretty much sore but i still ended up going to dance practice, at the dance practice jamie gave us our costumes which is a red satin pants for guys. after practice, me, dunhill, marifelle, lorelie and ling left to go to my birthday celebration with the "famalay". i felt kinda bad that we were late coz ray, denise and kristyn waited outside the restaurant for us. this year i decided to celebrate my bday at picnic garden which is an all you can eat korean bbq joint. i really like it there coz 1st of all i love korean food and 2nd you pay the same price you pay on any korean bbq at ktown but you get to eat as much as you can! the only thing i hate about it is that i smell like smoke afterwards. after dinner, me, lorelie and ling went to a corner store were ling bought me a scratch off card. too bad i didnt win anything but its all good. im gonna keep that card on my memory box. the three of us took the bus to main st. flushing then we took the 7 train where ling was approached by a creepy dude and asked him for a looseleaf paper lol! then while waiting for the transfer to the yellow line, ling and lorelie were racing who will be the 1st to greet me happy birthday via txt msg. it was pretty funny coz ling had a digital watch and lorelie just cheated and txted me before he could press send lol! this year is one of the more memorable bday coz this is the 1st year that i actually got people that i love next to me when the clock struck at 12 am. i walked lorelie back to the dorm then i took the cab to the path station. i got home at 2:30 am.
-saturday: my actually birthday! i wokeup with crazy amount of facebook greetings then my mom made order chinese noodles and chicken wings for good luck. after lunch, i went to my final dance practice of the week. everything was going great till my right knee buckled while i was doing the awkward jumps part of the dance. i was really surprise that i injured my right knee coz it was the left knee was the one hurting the day before. my right knee started to swell up pretty quickly to the point that i couldnt walk anymore. i was starting panic that my whole bday plan will be cancelled because of this but i was really determined to go on. the vargas brothers got me ace bandages and instant cold pack (it was so cool! i didnt even know those exist, all you have to do is pop the seal and it starts to get really cold!). i ended up limping my way to congee village. i choose this restaurant because its cheap and it specialize on large groups. me, joanna, lorelie, carla, ron, dunhill, ralph, jp, pico, mike v and marvin were escorted to one of their VIP private rooms which was so awesome! jerome and red alittle late. congee village is a family style restaurant so we ordered alot of food and shared it. the food was very good esp. the peking porkchop and the beef chow fun. we had such a great time specially with the lazy susan videos, church mass parody, dunhill's bare chest pics and ralph's kor-ri-yah num-ba-wan jokes. oh yeah, ralph and carla thought i could speak chinese coz of my conversation with the waiter lol! when the bill came, i was so suprised that it was only $106. i was expecting a $200 bill. the funny thing was the name of our waiter was jet li so i can proudly say that i was served chinese food by jet li for my bday lol! after congee village, we took the train to space 212 were i realize that my knee was getting worse but i just sucked it up. when we got outside space 212, we saw that they have bouncers that night which means that some of us cant go in esp. marvin who was only 17. we were about to walk away when a korean girl started yelling "hey you! comeback i know you!" then i remember that she was the same girl from phil's mr pi celebration where i spent $400. i was so happy that she got everybody in. inside space, i ordered 2 pineapple soju and 1 cranberry soju (coz ron is allergic to pineapple). we took 3 (double) shots then joanna, lorelie, carla, ron and the vargas brothers left. it was me, pico, jerome and red were left (dunhill and ralph went straight home from congee village). it was okay coz nelson and diana came alittle bit after they left. we had like 3 more bottles of pineapple sjou, 2 bottles of cranberry, one regular soju and one called "space" soju (yes i can say that we drank space that night lol). the korean girl that got us in stopped by our table and took shots with us. then someone told her it was my bday and she ended up buying me a shot then another bottle of soju but we were about to leave. before we leave, i asked her name and it was jai. she told me that if i every have problem getting in the lounge, tell the bouncer that i am her friend then she made me give her a kiss and hug. after space, i took the path train (it was only 12:30 am) but mom wanted me home early coz i have church the next day. my knee was really swollen by this time but it was just getting held up by the bandage. i ended up calling my bro if he can get me a ride home. luckly he was at jersey city and he picked me up from journal square. we stopped by his friend mark's house to say whatsup to his friends and pickup his gf then went home. i got home at 1:30 am. i basically came home late 4 straight days in a row thank god i didnt get in trouble with mommy.
-sunday: i wokeup and my knee wasnt that bad but still cant bend it. it was really hot so instead of wearing my typical dress shirt i decided to wear a barong to church. it was the traditional barong that my ninang got me from the philippines. everybody in church were surprise to see me in a barong then when the sermon was about to start, one of the ushers approached me and told me that they were kinda short staffed and if i can volunteer to help out. at 1st he asked me if im comfortable leading the prayer but i told him i really am not so i just ended up being an usher helping out collecting the envelopes with money (just a note, i did this while i was limping). being an usher wasnt that bad but at the end of the sermon, me and my mom were about to leave but the pastor remembered that it was my birthday the day before and decided to sing happy birthday to me in traditional and christian version accompanied by piano and an organ. i was kinda embarassed coz i dont really like having the spotlight on me but i really appreciate what they did. when we got home, i took a nap on the couch with my leg up and with an ice pack. when i wokeup, i can slightly bend my knee and can walk semi proper. i even threw out the garbage that nite.
-monday: it was almost a regular day except for the fact that my knee is still slightly swollen. i was lucky that i didnt really have to walk that much except for going to cna board practice. practice was very good. i was more comfortable with the skills. i just hope i dont get panicky on the actual test.
-tuesday: today my knee is a little better but still not 100%. i decided to continue my workout which turned out great. i used the swiss ball so i didnt put any pressure on my knee. after doing some work im planning to go to dno later tonite. its been awhile since we had a dno and im excited.

there you have it! a recap of my week! i cant believe i actually remembered all this details!!!

p.s. i know i promised field reports atleast onces a month but it sad to say this but i decided to retire from the whole thing and start working to be a better man. dont worry, im planning to post past stories of my life both sad and funny. im also planning to start posting my philosophies (thats what i call my rants about the society lol). till next time!
