What are you thankful for?

I know I might be a little late to even put this post up but whatever it's only 5 mins to midnight-does it matter at the end of the day? ummmmm... This thanksgiving me and the family didn't do much. My sister worked and everyone else did their own thing. It was no big deal for us-another thanksgiving which we celebrate it everyday just by being around each other. I am very thankful for the family I have althought we have our own issues-who doesn't? I am thankful for my health and their health. I am thankful for my job, after all in this economy :-) I am thankful for my friends and some associates I have. I AM ALSO THANKFUL THAT GOD MADE ME REALIZED I MUST WATCH OUT FOR SOME PEOPLE AND HELPING BY GETTING RID OF THEM :-) Now I would like to know what are you thankful for? feel free to comment anonymously or if you're a blogger go ahead and share with me. Thank you for stopping by. Link

Nose ring is finally healed-thanks Neosporin!

Sometime ago maybe about two months now, before my LA trip back in August I think , I decided to get the nose pierced-OUCH for a few seconds. Honestly it's something I never thought of doing-ever! But for some reason I just went ahead and got it done-nope I wasn't drunk or anything. For some reason I thought "It's very sexy and I have the perfect nose for a ring". When I first entered the tattoo/piercing shop (one of the shops on St. Marks) I was so nervous but I made it inside anyway. It wasn't that bad how I expected it to be. It was very painful when the needle was being pushed in and as soon as it entered the nose I teared on that side-whew! It bled a little on that side and my piercer gave me some "cleaning advice" on how to take care of it. Now during the healing process I'm not sure what I did wrong but I woke up one day and discovered a bump, a pump is a minor keloid. Now the bump is somewhat a sign of infection and if it doesn't get taken care of it'll get worst. It didn't freak me out because my other unusual piercings I had bumps and they went away a couple of days later. This pump made me more self-conscious of my face and of course how others will look at me-after all it's a bump somewhere on the face-ewww! One of my co-workers (obviously had that issue) told me to use Neosporin. Thank God for Neosporin or else not sure what I'd do. I'm pretty sure the bump would've gone away after a couple of days or maybe week but the Neosporin got rid of it quicker and took the infection away. OMG it looked so funny like I was growimg a little nose on top of my left nose haaaa! ewww! Thanks to Miss Cano for recommending Neosporin, it all went away and my piercing is all nice and cute and ready to change the ring-thinking of a white gold diamond stud :-) Something small and simple-wouldn't want to look like those typical Baquisha LOL

Before you leave I have a link on the bottom on nos piercing-check it out please if you're thinking of getting your nose pierced.

06. Neon Lights - Natasha Bedingfield - Strip Me

I actually volunteered at one of her concerts at Irving over the spring-she's awesome! Now I'm sure I'm not the only one that has heard of her-she's one of my favorites besides Adele and a few others. I love this song omg! For some reason I always play this song first on my phone when I'm on the train-anywhere on a public transportation. enjoy!

Washington, D.C. assesses earthquake damage

WASHINGTON DC EARTHQUAKE FELT THROUGHOUT NYC, VA AND OTHER AREAS ON THE EAST COAST. Now who would thought "Earthquake in NYC?" Yes it happpened on August 23rd. I didn't know there was even an earthquake until some of the people in the building I work in kept asking if I felt the earthquake-my mouth literally dropped, I felt NOTHING! I'm pretty sure because I work on the first floor and they're upstairs past 5th floor. Below is a picture of how the earthquake did its damages. Also below is a video on the earthquake. Here are some of the damages from the DC 2011 earthquake.

"Preliminary reports are indicating that a 5.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in Virginia at 1:51 pm EDT., according to the USGS. Shaking has been reported as far north as New York. Reports of shaking have also been coming in from the New England area. According to the USGS, a magnitude 5.5 Eastern US earthquake can typically be felt as far as 300 miles away. The USGS reported that epicenter of the quake was located in Louisa, Va. just southeast of Charlottesville and northwest of Richmond. The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was half a mile deep. Shaking was felt at the White House and all over the East Coast, as far south as Chapel Hill, N.C. Parts of the Pentagon, White House and Capitol were evacuated. There were no immediate reports of injuries."

Absolut San Francisco

Sometime last week I went to somewhat my nearest Wine & Spirit store to get one specific bottle for a friend (Absolute Brooklyn), now the saleswoman came out with Absolut San Fran I told her "Absolute BK" but then I took a closer look and asked her to come closer-yeah I did. I asked her "Ma'am is that San Francisco?" she said it was. I asked of course for the price and thank God it was no more than $20. So not only I got my friend's bottle but got my Absolut San Francisco :-) I came out happy haaaaa! ...for some reason I felt like I needed to get it not only because it's something I've never tried before but an "outsider drink" in my city-why not? I also feel some type of connection which I guess because I've been to SF before and fell in love with the city. I am glad I got it.

You can enjoy it with either OJ or just over ice because it's already flavored.

Absolut Creates San Francisco Vodka-YUMM!

"Just in time for San Francisco Gay Pride, Absolut Vodka has introduced a "limited" SF edition. Following on the heels of New Orleans, Loas Angeles, Boston, and (oddly enough) Brooklyn flavors, San Francisco is the fifth city to receive the company's boozy bottle honor. But does it taste good? Normally, flavored vodka taste like corn syrup-tinged diarrhea. (Some might say the same about plain vodka, but those types are usually pretentious mixologists. You need to ignore those people.) In an effort to review the allegedly hella-SF booze, we demanded a PR representative to deliver a free bottle of Absolut SF to our front door posthaste for immediate tasting. Well, not really. But close. And since we couldn't personally judge the stuff for review, because it was sent pro bono, we asked two dear friends / target audience subjects, a male homosexual and a super-cool bartender who prays at the bourbon altar, for their opinions. After sipping Absolut SF over ice, our gay pal said, "Hmm, not bad. But you know me. I'll drink anything." Our bartender friend, after sniffing and then taking a conservative pull form the bottle, revealed, "Hmm, not as bad as I thought it would be. Even kinda OK, I guess. I don't know." You hear that? "Even kinda OK." As for your SFist editor? Sure, we liked it. As with most people, we enjoy clear things that make us woozy. It's flavored with grape, dragon fruit and papaya, which, according to Alcademics, "were selected to represent the city by paying tribute to the Wine Country, and Asian and Latin cultures." A bottle runs $20 (which isn't bad at all)
