San Antonio, gosh it’s so fun

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Last weekend was crazily fun. Was at Paparuchos dancing away til 2am, regathon, salsa, meringue, R&B. I love the music and the ppl dancing around me. Slept for 4 hours, got up and went to Katy Mills for more shopping til 6.30pm. Was planning to go back to hotel right after but then the G&G guys convinced to leave my shopping bags in their room and go Maggie Rita for dinner. Wasn’t hungry so just ordered a Margarita, half way down the glass, I was feeling dizzy and feverish, insisted to go back to sleep but was again convinced to go to The Lounge.

Not in the mood to dance, so a few of us went back to a friend’s room to sing karaoke til 1.30am. Next day, woke up at 6.30, waited for Brent and wife to bring me and Gladys to San Antonio. 3.5 hours later, I reached San Antonio and fell in love with the place. :)

Such hectic week but was really really FUN.

And I think I am having a crush! I am confused.

Houston Week 1

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Adjusting to the time difference is a challenge but managed to overcome it within 3 days. My training class has superb SIS people from all over the world and happening too!
The first week of training was pretty slow and dull, learning about petroleum engineering. But our instructor, Richard was nice to invite us to PK’s Blue Water Grill at Voss Road for dinner on Friday and yes we all had fun there with Gladys and Sicilia singing for us with the piano man Jeff.

Headed to Roxy club which is close to where I stay. I must say there’s alot of crazy antiques and actions going on in there but we all just had our fun dancing away. Ricardo was good with his south american moves, so is Jose and Horacio. It was fun fun fun.

Slb organized a field trip for us to Galveston on Saturday to visit the Ocean Star Kack Up rig and lunch at Joe’s Crab Shack, the food was gooooooood but tooooooooo much. The portion of food here is just crazy for me. And off we went to Moody Garden after lunch, it’s a really great outing no doubt.

I am heading to Sugarland today for more shopping (my hotel is really close to The Galleria Mall too!) and I am so drowned with the malls in Houston. I just got myself a really nice Burberry wallet… :)

Second week of training will start soon, and I hope it’s going to be a great one.
