down
very down since last friday. so i dint go to work. instead, i did laundry and cut my hair. dint feel very liberated but i needed to feel busy. i felt guilty and went in on sat to make up for some hours. right now, i have the impulse for retail theraphy. its a blessing that im too lazy/busy to go shopping after work. cos i think im in an uncontrollable mood.

bars hopping
it was a bar hopping weekend.
on sat night, after dinner at fig & olive, we set off on conquering many bars that night. dinner was fine, slightly above expectations actually. it was in the cobblestone meatpacking district and this is a must checkout area for someone visiting.
we walked across to hotel gansevoort which has a rooftop bar. YEEEEEKS- so much for the hype!!! we walked one round and unanimously agreed to leave without looking back. the crowd was ugly and old.
walked to 510 Hudson St - Employees Only. this place is a gem. you wouldnt have known there is a bar from outside. they have a dinner area at the back too.
we then cabbed to Pegu Club at 77 W Houston St. Stupid me was saving my calories for later so I dint try the cocktails. I sipped Adrian's and it was very very good. the place is drop dead gorgeous and a "mecca for serious cocktail connoisseurs". will be back!!
we thought that we wanted to dance so headed to the Park. the crowd was very disappointing again. not sure why there were many youngsters and erm, indians. maybe someone was throwing a party. no idea why. i was kinda upset cos i used to like this place alot- especially the Penthouse, where it is open-aired. this place is no longer "legendary". however, this was the only place that we had to stand in line on a sat night. there were 3 jap gals in front of us and it was so interesting to watch one peering at adrian constantly. she had to turn around and look up cos adrian is tall (and cute). was way too obviously that she was checking him out but that guy dint bat an eyelid.
last stop was at the the Hudson bar which is in the Hudson Hotel. this part is the prelude to my entry on monday's date.
special mention that lily and marcel were around the last week and we hung out almost every night. im dead tired now but it was so nice to catch up.

flop
i got picked up at the Hudson last sat. chris and i were done with the dancing and we were just chilling out on the huge sofa outside the dance floor. she was telling me about her bf, that she thinks he s the one. as calm as she sounded, i think she was really happy and i was very happy for her too. so in the meanwhile, apparently someone was checking me out. he walked over and in a flash, he was sitting next to me and introduced himself to me and to chris (very politely so as not to sound abrupt- so he said). i dont know how he did it but he managed to get me to give him my number within 5 minutes. i have never done this before. i think the only reason was because i thought he was quite cute.
so we went out today. it was nice. he actually suggested going to 230 fifth, the place that i have been dying to check out. the rooftop was really cool- the night was so breezy and just imagine being surrounded by palm trees and skyscrappers, the empire state building which was right in front of your table. how cool eh.
so much about the atmosphere. i should be talking about my date right. my memory that night was serving me right. i remembered him being nicely built and i think that was why i gave him my number. indeed he is. nice broad shoulders, nice thick arms that fit really nicely ard my neck. he dressed to my liking too, with pointy shoes!
but it just dint work out. he asked if i ll go out with him again, i balked and stared at him. i guessed that was a good enough answer right?
he s prob not the one but i think its a confirmation of the state im in. im so scared to commit that i dont even want to date. i also know that going on a date is more than wine and dine- there s so much more laid out on the table and i dont want to go to the other side. i wished he dint try to kiss me so many times. i pushed him away and he made light of the situation by saying he was probably a bad kisser. how pathetic was that. i dint mean to be rude or mean or bad.
