SAMinNYC spreading his..

Monday, February 25th, 2008

joy of baking cupcakes by mailing these delectables to the BU ladies!

I was one of the lucky few to receive one… 3 days later! I seriously hope I don’t get food poisoning when this cupcake lands in my stomach.

As I anticipated the package arriving to my mailbox, I wondered how SAM managed to pack and mail a cupcake from New York to California without having it crushed or damaged along the way. This smart cookie got Chinese take-out containers from The Container Store (one of my fave stores btw) and bundled the cupcake inside all wrapped up with tissue (couldn’t find wax paper he says).

Looks like a 4-leaf clover! lol
In regards to his “I have no paper LoL…” Guess what he wrote that msg on. haha come on guess! It’s not that hard given he was once formerly known as SAMinNYC.

A business card with just his name followed by his phone number and email address ;) slick SAM, slick ;)

And Voila!
SAM’s marvelous creation.

So before I take a bite… those who have already sampled this, please provide your review in the comment box below :)

NYC-Day 2

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

We woke up to a dreary, cold, rainy morning. Never-ending rain, that is. Bummer. And I had other plans for us too that required us being outside. Change of plans!

We started off our day with a heavy breakfast at Balthazar Restaurant. This was probably my first time spending a good $20-25 on breakfast, but it was well worth it! Delicious!

Afterwards, we attempted to tackle the rain, and frantically speed-walked from store to store near the area. We stopped by a cute museum store to dry off and mess around.

Then the girls and I headed to New Museum in Chelsea while the boys went to Chinatown to get their haircuts. I enjoyed the museum even though it was somewhat small, but Corliss got a good deal since she’s only 18-years-old (she got in for free). Ha.

After exploring the museum, we went to Rice to Riches; if you’ve seen Hitch, this little dessert place was featured in that film! It was when Eva Mendez was telling her friend about her first date with Hitch. The dessert was an experience since I’ve never had this before, and it’s very filling!!

Then we went to the American Museum of Natural History; most of us were so pooped so there’s a lot of sitting around, and in Jonas’ case . . . snoozing! This was where Night at the Museum was filmed starring Ben Stiller. Yes yes, it’s just an on-set experience for us. Ha.

We ended our evening having a bunchedup.tv meet-up which included dinner at Carmine’s and partying at Duvet and Stay.

Manboobs gone wrong at bunchedup.tv

Not sure what Doug was doing; imitating Angie perhaps? But the Q that popped into everybody’s mind was: “Where did you get a bra?!”

Apparently, he owns 2! Yes. TWO bras.

And look guys! We get a bonus too! Sam in tighty whiteys…. hahaha!

Bunchedup.tv Get-together Day2-Saturday

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

The Norcalers got invaded by the out of town bunchkins from bunchedup.tv Saturday too (not this Saturday, but last).
Saturday Saminnyc, Nick, Doug, Jonasapproved and I drove around San Francisco and did the whole sight-seeing tour. Many Santa Clauses were roaming the streets ready to get their drunk on; apparently it happens in the city this time of the year, but it was my first time seeing it! Very interesting indeedy.

I can’t recall everything we did that day since it happened two weekends ago (yes, my memory sucks ass), but we did stop by Chinatown to get some infamous egg tarts from Golden Gate Bakery. MmmMMmm, delicious as always!

Afterwards we got some 59 cents milk tea from Quickly’s. So cheap and so good, but too bad I was afraid to drink it all because milk tea makes me pee like a horse. Am I the only one? Perhaps I have a weak bladder!

Then we checked out Coit Tower; it got pretty chilly up there so we bounced after our short visit and because there wasn’t much to see. Boo.

So we stopped at Lombard Street; I don’t understand how people could live there, but wouldn’t it be awesome to tell your friends that you live on Lombard Street? lol. I can imagine it’d be difficult to throw a house party there eh?

Then we stopped by the Apple store and logged onto bunchedup.tv and streamed from there from various computers. That was somewhat amusing. Ha. We are such dorkos!

Afterwards we ate at Burma Superstar, and normally I really enjoy Burma, but crap . . . I was so full from all our treats! Argh. Still delicious though.

Then we walked off our calories at Union Square after we met up with Corliss and shortly thereafter, Jon. We killed a lot of time there taking random shots! Some are amusing. :)

Then we ended our night in the Castro where some bunchkins shared a penis cookie from Hot Cookies. MmmmM.

We bid our farewells to the New Yorkers, Doug and Sam, and to our LAer, Nick. So sad, but New York City is next in queue on my travels! Woot.


A whole lotta Santa Clauses!


Jonas and egg tarts! Yum.
