Wednesday: Toe accident
Thursday: First hives outbreak
Friday: Second, more severe hives outbreak
Saturday: Third, milder hives outbreak
Sunday: Phew!
It seems like the hives have taken a break today. I don't know if its because I circumvented their appearance with an early does of allegra or if they have finally begun to subside, but today passed without much fanfare.
Friday was a pretty crazy day. After lunch, the hives started popping up below my chin and started moving up my face, then my legs started itching as well so I knew that it was bad. I decided to ditch my last meeting of my summer internship and run out to a doctor's appointment that I managed to scramble to get at the last minute. The receptionist at the doctor's office said that she felt itchy just looking at me, I don't blame her, it was really that bad.
The doctor gave me a shot, took some blood to test for allergies, gave me some free samples of allegra and wrote me a prescription for some topical cream. The directions said, apply to affected area. On Friday night, I slathered the cream on like it was moisturizing lotion, since that was pretty much "the affected area". The angry red welts started disappearing around 4PM and was pretty much all clear by 6PM. Phew! At least I could still enjoy my Friday night.
Then on Saturday after lunch, the hives started coming back again. Although Rick and I were planning to go to Staples and run some errands, he took me home right away so I could take my medication. It really worked! This time, the hives were limited to my lower body, my lower back took the worst hit, but besides that they faded without too much to do.
It's been a rough few days. My throat has beenconstantly parched, I think as a side effect of taking allegra. The good thing is that I ended up really just picking at my food most of the weekend because I was worried that eating anything triggered a flare up. Tonight, I broked the rule for the first time and ate, actually, too much! No hives yet, keeping my fingers crossed for now. I plan to adapt "food picking" as a new habit as I move into this "lifestyle change" of healthier eating and exercise.

Traditional Chinese Remedies
I am just fascinated by traditional Chinese remedies, I am an absolute believer. My mom and her mom are both versed in the benefits of certain herbs to use in soups, food, on skin, etc. Like last night as I lay in a drug induced stupor, my mom called to see how I was doing. I told her I have these disgusting hives blossoming all over my body. I was not exaggerating, by mid-night, I had big areas of lumpy redness on my knees, behind me knees and down my calves, on my upper thigh area, on my sides, hips, back, armpit area...and it was super itchy. She said...take some suger, run boiling water into it, let it cool and then drink it. It will help stop the hives. Basically she told me to drink sugar water...but no! I had to be made in that specific way, sugar first then add boiling water and make sure you let it cool before drinking it... okaaaayyyy.
Who knows? 2000 years of "science" at lesat won't hurt you!

How depressing...
So this morning, I was obsessed with my ripped up toe. I even started a new posting about it. Now the toe is a secondary concern. I have a new concern...hives.
Just before lunch today, I started getting really really itchy around the ears. I didn't really think anything of it, you know, sometimes you just suddenly feel itchy. Then at lunch, my neck started feeling really hot and itchy. I was actually out at Dos Caminos with my "ambassador" and a friend of his. Couldn't do much about it and I thought it was my hair just making it feel itchy. Then I went back to the office and checked it out in a mirror. My neck as all flared up red and lumpy. Yikes.
So I decided this was bad, I gotta get home. I bought a box of Benedryl, took 2 right away and hoped for the best. Didn't really work...
I got home and noticed that now the hives were clumped around the back of my knees, extending up to my thighs. Then it went through my arms, not is around my waist and hip area. This is not happening quickly it's over a couple of hours...slowly, slowly...sucks. It's itchy and worse, ugly!!!! All red and lumpy all over...so sad!!!!!!! I don't know what to do! I took another 2 Benedryl...hoping it would help.
Now I have a ripped toe, red lumpy, itchy stuff all over me, and feeling fat cuz now I can't exercise! %&##*(@!

OUCH!
I was walking into Chase to deposit two checks after work. As I walked in, a guy walked out and opened the door for me. It was a nice thing for him to do, but the bottom of the door scraped the skin off the top of my toe which immediate started bleeding. Boy did it hurt, I was breathless and dizzy just from the shock of the pain. But after the first wave passed I decided hey, might was well deposit the checks first, I'll be ok. So I filled out the deposit form, and deposited my envelop into the ATM. Meanwhile, my toe kept bleeding and bleeding to the point where I was slipping the blood pooled on my shoe (sorry this is kinda gross).
Finally I decided this was it, I had to go to the Duane Reade next door to get myself a band-aid. Thank god it was next door and I knew exactly where it is. Still I had to limp downstairs to where the band-aids are kept before I could finally get somewhat cleaned up and but the band-aid on, so I could limp home without bleeding all over the place. OUCH! Once I got home, I pulled out the first aid kit, cleaned out my toe and wrapped it up with a band-aid. Phew! What an ordeal!
I feel much better now, but am going to sulk the rest of the night, meaning I really am not in the mood for exercise! :p Might take Brownie later....

Under the Banner or Heaven and other reading...
I bought a new book yesterday called Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer. I've been wanting to get it for a while now and was hesitating because I still had another book to read and I was too cheap, so I was considering buying it on amazon.com instead. In the end, I relented and just bought the book from Barnes and Noble. Ahhh, what's a couple of bucks...I'll try to sell it when I'm done.
I was attracted to the book because I read a segment of the Into Thin Air book also written by Krakauer, he's a master storyteller so I figured it would be cool to read some entertaining non-fiction. It's still a depressing story, about fundamentalist Mormon lives centered around a murder that was committed. The murderers claimed to have been ordered by God to commit the crimes, and therefore feel no guilt at all for what they had done... it's a sad but at the same time somewhat of a thriller. Plus, it's a true story, which makes it that much more impactful.
Other favorite books of mine (in no particular order):
-Da Vinci Code - Always enjoy a good murder mystery
-All the Harry Potters - well... everyone knows Harry!
-Little Earthquakes (Jennifer Weiner) - just read this one recently. Good story, but totally turned me off to the idea of having children.
-Liar's Poker - Had to read this for class, and it was surprisingly good!
-Bringing Down the House - MIT geeks take on Vegas, it was a fun, quick read
-Alienist - wanted to read this one forever, was pretty creepy but had a good twist at the end
- Tipping Point and Blink (by Malcom Gladwell) - amazing writer, love the application of psychological theories to real life.
Books I want to read, but haven't got around to yet:
-Life of Pi - have heard so much about this!
-Lovely Bones - another long time bestseller that I haven't gotten around to
-Into Thin Air - ironically, I haven't read the whole book yet!
Reading is one of my biggest hobbies. Ricky always makes fun of me for reading all the time, in the bathroom, brushing my teeth, drying my hair, drying Brownie's hair, eating dinner, in front of the TV, in bed, everywhere! If I have a hand to hold a book, I am likely reading something.
I still remember my first full-length novels (not picture books) were Snugglepot and Cuddle Pie and Blinky Bill. I don't know which one came first, but I remember they were given to me by a friend of my mom's in Australia. I think I was around 6, the books were really cute. Snugglepot and Cuddlepie were 2 gum nuts (from a gum tree) who fell from their tree and were roaming the world, including underwater, having all types of adventures. Blinky Bill was an adventurous koala exploring the outback. Good stuff... :) Since then, I've been hooked on books! :)

For Usa's Hong Kong trip...
Usa is going to Hong Kong on April 12, I am so excited for her! Ray and I have been giving her pointers as to where to go and what to do in HK as well as how to properly pronounce Cantonese... here I will post any additional things that I think Usa can not miss while she is there... hopefully she might have time to go online...?
Many guides will tell you to go to Yung Kee (new Lan Guai Fong)...I dunno, normal HK people rarely go there, it's more for tourists. I've also heard it's quite expensive and not worth it... just don't go. Haha..
A good place that you could try and is kinda cool is the Jumbo Seafood Palace. You take little ferry out from Aberdeen to a floating restaurant in the middle of the Harbor. It's not the best Chinese food, but I've heard it's quite good. But it's definitely uniqe to HK...so I would say worth a trip. http://www.jumbo.com.hk/
In Central there are 2 streets, Li Yuen East Street and Li Yuen W. St. There are a lot of sample export stores there. Don't go to Central just for that, but if you're there anyway, it's worth strolling through to see if you find any bargains.
Close to the Wing On in Shueng Wan (actually opposite it), there is a street that specializes in selling cheap (fake - meaning not precious metals) jewelry. Wholesalers pick up from there for distribution and export so there's a ton of variety and it's not expensive.
Here's the link to Cafe de Coral with the good pork chop rice, the coffee is also excellent but remember it's more worth it to get it with a meal (only HKD5) whereas if you get it by itself, its HKD10. Haha.. http://www.cafedecoralfastfood.com/, http://www.cafedecoral.com (I don't know why there were 2 websites...)
Here is Fairwood: http://www.fairwood.com.hk/
Also stroll around Causeway Bay, go to Times Square for some concentrated shopping. There's also Sogo and the street behind Sogo that has some cool clothing stores. CSB is my area, so I know it best... :)
Ok, I'll add more when I think of stuff...

Sushi Lounge
*sigh* I will never lose weight if I keep eating the way I do on weekends! After the gluttony on Saturday at the amazing pancake place and the amazing Thai place, we decided to go out for dinner at Sushi Lounge. A great little place in Hoboken that had the most amazingly creative sushi rolls.
This morning, I woke up at around 8:30, and read my very depressing novel for a while, since I could not go back to sleep. The novel, by the way, is called Evening News, and I would not recommend it! It's about a woman who's son shot his baby sister by mistake and slowly but surely the family falls apart. The son tries to kill himself, the dad runs out on her and she goes nuts. Sure it may be realistic but it is depressing as H*ll. The only reason I'm still reading it is because I've already gotten through half of it and don't feel like quitting. Also I haven't bought anything else to read in it's place just yet, so I figure I might as well keep going...
For lunch, Rick and I had Masaman curry that we bought from Sri Pra Phai yesterday, yummy! Not much, but definitely enough to be full! Then I drove out to Jersey Garden Mall to meet Usa and Ray and them. I picked up Jay from Newport as well!
My main mission at the Mall was to get a gift card for Ricky's sister for her birthday. Then I bough myself 2 t-shirts as well. Usa and I had loads of fun shopping at DSW, we bought matching pairs of snowboots! So it is the middle of summer now, but buying off-season was what gets you the greatest bargains! I was a bad influence, I was the one who was like... hey we should get snowboots now while they're on sale! But Usa was so happy about her purchase, I think I did the right thing. Haha....
After shopping (which was tiring!) we decided to go to Hoboken Sushi Lounge for dinner. The place is truely excellent! My new favorite sushi place in the tri-state area! The rolls are super inventive, the Hoboken roll had fried tuna, salmon and yellow tail with eel sauce. The Lady is a Tramp roll had spicy tuna and regular tuna, the Lounge roll has eel and tempura shrimp. Excellent! But as I watch my tummy get bigger with each passing day, I often regret eating too much...:( But well now that the treadmill is upstairs, I am certain I will use it more, at least 5 times a day. So....it'll be ok. Look to the future not to the past. It's too late to r
egret, but never too late to improve! During the week, I'll be back to my juices or salads. It will be ok... :)
For the weekend, I'll enjoy! Bon Apetit! hee hee...:p

Brownstone Pancakes
Today was the worst dieting day in the history of the world! Ray, Euhan, Andrej and Usa came over to hlep us move the treadmill from the first floor to the second floor but of course we've all gotta be fed! So Usa, stoke of genius, had the idea to go to Brownstone Pancakes, a diner/pancakes joint on the corner of Grand and Jersey. Ricky drove to Hoboken to pick the peeps up and we walked 2 blocks over to the newly renovated brownstone.
The place was excellent! Very quaint and diner like. The menu was a big binder full of pages of food food and more food. There were chocolate chip peanut butter pancakes, banana cream belgian waffles, colossal omelets (which were truly colossal), fried chicken baskets, salads, on and on and on. Just the menu was a lot to get though, making a choice was that much harder! In the end, I had an "Aspen Omelete", egg whites with ham, peppers and onions. They weren't kinding when they said colossal, the omeletes were huge. Usa got a Jack combo with flap jacks, eggs and a turky sausage. The plate of pancakes had at least 10 pancakes on it, we were so surprised! Andrej ordered a blueberry pancake that looked more like a layered cake because the pancakes were so big. Ricky had fish and chips which were quite good as well. Ray got "Disco Fries" fries with cheese and gravy...yum!
After the crazy heavy meal, we went home and the guys quickly moved the treadmill to the second floor. The guys lounged around and watched movies on TV while Usa and I took Brownie out to Liberty State Park. It was so beautiful! The weather was perfect there was a light breeze, the view across the harbo
r of lower Manhattan was breathtaking and Usa was impressed. The place is great, there was even a view of the Statue of Liberty! Of course I've taken Brownie there before, but thought it'd be a nice place for a good walk! Brownie of course had an amazing time as usual, running around. He as exhausted by the time he got home and was considerably less wired. Haha... he's so cute when he's tired...

Sri Pra Phai - The Best Thai Food in New York
Sri Pra Phai used to be an unknown little hole in the wall where it was crowded, but never too crowded. You could always since in the ugly basement when things got really crazy up on the mainf floor! But the boss had good business sense and decided to renovate the place and expand into the next storefront, plus build a gorgeous back courtyard complete with a small fountain. To our disappointment, the great renovation made the place just that much more popular, and tables are now even harder to come by. It is also hard to get parking space in the area!
Ray, Euhan, Usa, Rick and I decided to drive out to Queens for some real Thai food on Saturday night. I really wanted to go when Usa is around to order for us in Thai and recommend some authentic Thai food. She did not disappoint us! We ordered some new dishes that I had never tried before but was incredibly yummy. For example, the chili basil duck. Of course we also had our old favorite, the BBQ pork tenders. So good! It was Euhan's first time there and he was definitely impressed. You know when he says, "we have to bring Elaine here..." Haha!

Manhole Explosion in JC!
Ricky was walking home when he called and said, woah, two manholes just blew up and flames are coming out of one of them! Even the buildings shook! Me, happily sitting around watching TV at home (just 2 blocks away), didn't feel or hear anything. Apparently the electricity was knocked out for the whole block, considerable inconvenience for our tenants. But it was pretty frightening that Ricky was right there and saw everything as it happened.
The next day, we got this email from the management company of our building, "...last night two manholes exploded and caught fire. We thought it was an underground transformer. Fortunately it was just one of the main wires feeding downtown JC to our east. However the fire burned up some of the wires that feed 222, 273 and 275. PSEG just shut down these buildings and will be spending the day rewiring the damaged wires."
I got a picture of them repairing the manhole the next day when I was walking Brownie...

Celebrity Sighting
I just saw Ethan Hawke at Jamba Juice!!!! He actually stood in line behind me and ordered his juice right after mine. Of course being the idiot that I am, I didn't even notice until he went up and ordered. He was wearing a full (stylish) pinstrip suit and shades, very Euro-chic. If I didn't know it was Ethan Hawke, I would have thought, very Euro-trash. Celebrities can pull all sorts of things that normal people just should not try. Everyone was half-staring at him (like out of the corner of their eyes so it would not be too obvious) and I was thinking, woah, is that Ethan Hawke? Then the lady behind the register had to give him his change for the juice (he wasn't paying attention) so she was like "Ethan!" That just confirmed it! How very exciting!!!
Anyways, I wish I had brought my phone, then I would have either sneaked a picture or actually asked him to take a picture with me. But, don't know if I would have the guts to! One guy actually did go talk to him, probably something like, hey I really liked you in xxxx. He was like, "thanks man!" and that was the end of that, so awkward!
This is my first celebrity sighting after 5 years in NYC. I've heard so many people say they've seen Dave Letterman or Nicole Kidman (on 28th St.) but I never notice these things, half the time I don't even recognize them so this was pretty cool. :) All in all a very exciting lunch run. Haha!
