I was in New York City all of last week. I have been meaning to blog something about my trip but my schedule was really hectic when I was there. The main purpose of my visit was for a training class. Class pretty much took up my time during the day. My nights were dedicated to Broadway shows.
Speaking of Broadway shows, I had a 4 show quota I wanted to meet for that week. That pretty much meant a show each night except for Monday night when most of the theatres were dark. Well, there were some shows that were playing on Monday night but I didn't have the desire to see them.
Tuesday (6/13/06):
A friend and I tried to get tickets for Wicked however we struck out on both the lottery and the cancellation line. It's almost impossible to get tickets for Wicked at this time of the year when tourists start flocking to New York city. We met up with 2 other friends from JMBB (Judith McNaught message board) and they suggested that we try The Drowsy Chaperone lottery. I won us 2 tickets to TDC! We got front row center orchestra seats for TDC. Not bad for $25.
I didn't know anything about the show. It pretty much started off with the theatre completely pitch black and you hear someone saying: "I hate theatre!". After that line, I knew I was going to enjoy that show. I loved The Drowsy Chaperone! I saw a lot of myself in the Man in the Chair character in the show. Bob Martin rocks! It was pretty hilarious. I was laughing throughout the show. The music wasn't that great however, the cast was wonderful and the story was original and very unique.
Wednesday (6/14/06):
I had tickets for Avenue Q. I liked this show. It's pretty much an adult Sesame street. I wish I didn't listen to the soundtrack beforehand. I think I would've been a lot more shocked that they used certain kind of language and showed "adult" scenes. It's very humorous and un-PC. So if you're a prude, this isn't the show for you. Barrett Foa is such a hottie!
Thursday (6/15/06):
I was pretty much undecided on what to watch for this night. I decided to try the Wicked lottery (again!) and struck out (again!). There were around 300 people who tried out for the lottery that night.
I headed off to the TKTS booth to get half priced ticket for either the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or Sweeney Todd. My first choice was DRS since I was not too sure if I really wanted to watch Sweeney Todd since the story is kind of dark and gruesome. By the time I got to TKTS, there were no more tickets for DRS so I bought tickets for Sweeney Todd.
I am so glad that I actually got to see Sweeney Todd with the current cast. The show was amazing! The cast was so talented. It just blew me away. I felt so lucky that I got to see Patti Lupone, Michael Cerveris and Manoel Felciano on stage. Michael was freaky as Sweeney Todd. He actually looked scary when he was on stage. The staging was quite interesting. The cast doubled as the orchestra. At times, it was kind of distracting that they were acting and had musical instruments with them.
Friday (6/16/06):
Did you think that I would visit New York City and not watch Wicked? My co-workers and I managed to get tickets for Wicked. They were second row left orchestra seats. The seats were alright. There were times that the ensemble would be blocking some of the scenes but it wasn't too bad. The big plus sitting this close was actually seeing Eden Espinosa's facial expressions. She has wonderful facial expressions! She's just so full of emotion whenever she's on stage. This is the third time I've seen Eden perform in Wicked. She just gets better and better each time I see her. She totally blew me away with her performance. Magnificent voice! Such a wonderful singer and actress. This was the first time I saw Kate Reinders as Glinda. she was great in her role. She played Glinda a little bit more ditzier than Megan Hilty. Kate has great vocal control and she was pretty funny. I still liked Megan Hilty as Glinda although my co-workers who saw Wicked for the first time liked Kate's performance.
My week just flew too fast. After the last show for that week, I just wanted to go back to the hotel, pack my clothes and I was ready to go back home to the Bay Area.

Me the Workaholic
It's 8pm on a Tuesday night and here I am still at work. I am pretty much watching grass grow on one of my servers so it's a really good time to blog. Plus, I have not written anything for a while.
The past few weeks, my life has been consumed by work, work, work and more work. It's just that there are so many things going on at the same time at work. My hours are prety much 9AM to 6PM however, when I get home, I cannot help but whip out my laptop, VPN to the office and continue where I left off.
I really enjoy what I do that's why I don't mind the long hours. Everything I do looks like play to me. My servers, SAN and other IT equipment are my toys. I look at every problem as a challenge and a puzzle I need to solve. Makes things really easy for me.
My name is Carmila and I am a WORKAHOLIC!

Bay to Breakers 2006
I survived Bay to Breakers! For those who don't know what Bay to Breakers is, it's a 7.46 mile (12k) run/walk that starts at one end of San Francisco and cuts across the city and ends at the beach. It's pretty much the biggest street party in San Francisco. People run in different states of dress (some in costumes) and undress (naked with just a bright green hat and running shoes).
I had so much fun doing it this year. A friend of mine and her husband ran (ok, more like walked) it with me. We had such a blast and pictures to prove it! At the starting line, there were beach balls and tortillas flying all over the place. It was impossible not to get hit by either one. While running/walking, we saw the four emus, the running Elvises, a celtic priest, nuns, the Flintsones, smurfs, spawning salmon, Mona Lisa/Da Vinci code, the Storm Troopers from Star Wars, Noah's Ark, a Wells Fargo semi trailer being pushed up on Hayes Street, beer kegs in shopping carts being pushed along the race course and lots and lots of naked people. In the beginning, we were on the look out for naked people. After a while, we just got so desensitized and didn't really care. Although, everytime we were behind a naked person, we would run and try to overtake them. We just didn't feel like looking at their butts the entire time.
Last time I ran/walked Bay to Breakers was in 2000. I also ran it with a friend of mine. I clocked at 2:45. I broke my record this year. I clocked at 2:24. Not that I had any intention of running the entire time but B2B is actually quite impossible to run. I saw on the news today that there were approximately 62,000 people who participated in today's footrace.
What's next? I'm probably going to run the 5k run/walk event during the San Francisco Marathon in July. At least this way, I would be motivated enough to actually train for the Disneyland Half Marathon in September.

Mandatory Turning Older Blog
*** This blog is a few days late. I needed to experience being a year older for a few days before actually drawing any conclusions. ;) ***
Over the years, on my birthday, there is always at least 1 person asking me how it feels to be a year older. My standard answer has always been, I feel the same as I did yesterday. It makes me wonder if I am supposed to be feeling something different once the clock strikes 12 o'clock on the day of my birthday. Truth is, I really don't feel any different when I was a year younger. Seriously, I don't really feel like I am getting older -- well, except physically -- the aches, the pain, and other things that come with age are starting to announce their presence. A day, a month or a year probably wouldn't make me feel any different. However, ask me about how I am feeling now compared to how I felt 10 years ago and I would definitely be able to tell you the difference.
Ten years ago around this time, I was fresh out of school. Wide eyed, idealistic, ever so optimistic and ready to conquer the world and nothing could get in the way of all my dreams and aspirations. I felt like I was super woman. I jaywalked across busy streets filled with crazy drivers trying to avoid running me over. I went mountain climbing and even climbing slippery waterfalls. I wasn't afraid of anything. Lyrics from a song called I'm not afraid of anything written by Jason Robert Brown (Songs for a New world Soundtrack), nicely describes how I felt 10 years ago.
Now, I'm just contented to let the world pass me by. I have gone further than I could ever have imagined 10 years ago. I have never thought I could be where I am right now and living the kind of life I live. Over the years, I've become more of a skeptic -- more of a I'll believe it when I see it type of person. I'm practical and a pragmatist. I have come to the realization that some of my dreams are and will remain as dreams and do not apply to the real world. Am I disappointed that not all my dreams are turning into reality? Nah... The odds are still pretty much in my favor. :)
Nope, I have not started counting backwards. :P

I'm not afraid of anything
Be it mountains, water, dragons, dark or sky
I'm not afraid of anything
Tell me where's the challenge if you never try
So watch me fly
I'm not afraid

Da Vinci Code Quest on Google
I've been playing the Da Vinci Code Quest on Google for several weeks. It finally ended today and I'm actually quite pleased with my performance. I did manage to finish all 24 puzzles. Today was the deadline and I finished mine yesterday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'm included in the first 10,000 participants who finished all 24 puzzles. They're sending out a replica of the cryptex to the first 10,000 participants and I really want one! Too bad, I won't know until Monday if I am in the first 10,000 participants.
Solving problems is a strength of mine however, I pretty much suck at solving puzzles. I'm actually amazed at how well I did on this quest. Well, you know what they say, Google knows everything and Google is my friend. :)

Only in Dallas
It's been almost a week since I came back home from Dallas. I have several pictures on my Treo that I felt I should post in here. I know, I know, it's a phone, takes crappy pictures but I have it with me all the time so I can just whip it out and snap away.
Anyways, here are a few pictures that I took in Dallas on my Treo.
Dallas Galleria Mall. There are malls everywhere in Dallas. It's a shopping utopia and at the same time purgatory for my credit card.
Reunion Center Ball (ok, maybe I'm making the name up). Anyways, I went up on the ball's observation deck.
Dallas skyline. I took this from the Reunion Center observation deck.
This is from Fogo de Chao. Look closely and you'll see the ribs turning round and round getting cooked. I've never eaten so much meat in my life!
Ummmm... They made it sound like ordering something from a fast food restaurant. I wonder if someone ever goes in and orders condoms "for here".

More of Nothing
Dallas, Day 5:
It's my 5th day in Dallas and Murphy is still screwing around with me. I'm supposed to be going home tomorrow. Everything supposed to be already done but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Murphy had to screw things up.
My favorite word is NOTHING on this trip. NOTHING is working. NOTHING is done. There is NOTHING to see and NOTHING to do in this city. NOTHING I can do but extend my stay for 2 more days and see more of NOTHING.
Yeah, I am bitter so back off and let me be.

Murphy's Law
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
I have been a victim of Murphy's law this week. I have been in Dallas for the past 2 days to set up the new office. The first day I walked in the new space, my jaw just dropped. I was in shock, cables were hanging loose, furniture was not installed, the patch panel was not installed, the MPLS circuit was installed in the wrong end of the suite, the rack, printer and a lot of other stuff have not been delivered. Total nightmare! Day 2, our MPLS circuit is still not up and it's the most important thing of all. Everything is supposed to be done by Monday. ARRGGGHHHHH...........
Well Murphy, if you're reading this, back off... You're screwing things up!

Everything is HUGE in Texas
I've had a lot of people tell me that everything is HUGE in Texas. I believe it now! Food servings are HUGE, cows are HUGE, even our rental car's HUGE!
I was in Austin Tuesday and Wednesday this week (4/18 & 4/19). It's supposedly a fun town to be in. Unfortunately, I didn't really have any time for fun in Austin. It was work, work, work. Worked late on Tuesday and then had to drive up to Dallas Wednesday night. I only saw the Austin office, the roof of the state capitol, my room at the Omni hotel and County Line BBQ!
Speaking of County Line BBQ, it's the best barbecue I have tasted. Servings were HUGE (of course!) and everything was homemade even the ice cream. I didn't want to leave Austin without going to a landmark restaurant. On the wall, they have pictures of their cows and they are HUGE! They also have a stuffed head of a cow.
See the 3 neon pigs on top of the sign? The pigs turn neon pink when they jump over the BBQ pit. Cute...
Here's the MOTHER OF ALL COWS! This cow is freakin' HUGE! She must've been really special. I bet she tasted really good!
What would you do if you had this stuffed head staring at you while you were eating ribs? I kept on eating.
Cows, cows and a cowboy. Yep, there's cow pictures everywhere.
Meat, meat and more meat.
Even the bread is HUGE!
Oh yeah, we (my co-worker and I) had a pimped out ride. The rental company gave us a Cadillac Escalade ESV. I tell you, that is a big ass car! The freakin' thing is like a truck! We decided to exchange it for a smaller SUV (Ford Explorer) before we kill someone with the HUGE SUV. It was fun while it lasted.
Now, this is what I call a BIG ASS TRUCK!
HUGE, HUMONGOUS, GARGANTUAN, BEHEMOTIC, COLOSSAL, IMMENSE, JUMBO, KING-SIZE, MAMMOTH, ENORMOUS, GIGANTIC, ELEPHANTINE, HULKING, ETC... ETC... That my friend is Texas!

Life is Pandemonium
Some time not too long ago (feels like it was just yesterday but I know it's longer), I felt like I had nothing to do. I had all the time in the world to slack off, surf the web, watch TV/DVDs, read books and just do nothing. Heck, I was even complaining that I was bored and begging people to give me something to do at work.
Funny how things turn out almost overnight. All of a sudden, I get a long list of things to do (yes, that's why I haven't been blogging lately). A lot of them seem to start at the same time and the deadlines are in proximity of one another. I feel that 24 hours is too short and 7 days in a week is not enough. Everyone seems to need me to do something and I also have personal goals that I need to achieve. I am being pulled in different directions.
My life is pandemonium, yet I love it. It's all about the challenge, baby! :)

Sacrifices
I have a good life. I'm very thankful for all the blessings that have come my way. I have a loving husband. I have a good job. We're financially stable. We have our own place. We have a somewhat well behaved dog. We get to do the things we want and buy the things that we need and want.
I really have nothing much to complain about my life. Well, except maybe for the fact that we're so far away from family and friends. It really sucks being so far away. I guess this is the price I have to pay for having the kind of life that I currently have. I keep on missing events in the lives of people that matter to me. I have not seen my family in almost a year. I haven't seen a lot of my friends in about 3 years. Today's my brother's wedding. It's my only sibling's wedding and I cannot even be there. It really stinks but there's really nothing much I can do about it except sulk.
We have to make our own sacrifices and this is one of mine. Oh well, that's life...

Grey's Anatomy Marathon
What do you get when you combine Grey's Anatomy and running? A Grey's Anatomy Marathon of course! Muwahahaha....
Over the past week, I have officially watched 21 hours of Grey's Anatomy. Yes, I was having my own Grey's Anatomy marathon. I finished Season 1 in 1 night (9 episodes) and I have finally caught up with Season 2 (21 episodes).
Do you think it's too much TV for a week?
Seriously? Seriously! Seriously?!

Grey's Anatomy
I am so into Grey's Anatomy now. I have been reeled in hook, line and sinker. I watched the entire first season last night. It was only 9 episodes but you get the picture, I was up till the wee hours of the morning watching this show! I just could not stop watching until I finished the first season. It's is THAT good!
The show feels like a combination of Friends, House, ER, Sex and the City. It's drama, comedy, love story rolled into one TV show. The characters are very believable. They have their own quirks and issues.
Patrick Dempsey looks really HOT in this show. Yes, he sure is Dr. McDreamy with this perpetual 5 o'clock shadow on his face. I've always thought he was dorky in the past but nooooo not in this show. He looks really cute.
The show has a lot of great lines and the music is pretty good. I love Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) voice overs. She talks about things in life that I can totally relate to.
I love this show!

Running
I'll be doing Bay to Breakers this year (3rd Saturday in May). This race is the biggest street party in San Francisco. People come in different states of dress and undress. Yep, lots of people in costume and some naked people running around. It's almost impossible to run it since there's so many people. I think I clocked at 2:44 last time. It took about an hour just to go through the starting line.
I also signed up for the Disneyland Half Marathon (13 miles) in September. I know, it's crazy. I've never done anything like this in my life. I'm going to be doing it with other DN's from the JMBB.
I'm looking forward to those 2 races. It's going to be such a challenge considering that I am on my butt all the time and my only exercise is walking from the bus terminal to the office and then from the office to the bus terminal. I went a bought a threadmill so that I don't have to run outside in the cold. Yes, I have started training. ;) Can you believe it? I've started doing 3 miles daily. I surely don't want to get picked up by the sweeper and getting transported to the finish line.
Lately, I feel like I am starting to degenerate. I'm aching here, aching there, etc.. etc... I figured if I don't do these things now, I would probably never get a chance to do these kind of things ever. I am doing this for myself. Hey, you'll never know, I might just run a full marathon (26 miles) one of these days.

Treo pictures
What interesting stuff could I possibly post when I am running on Vicodin fumes? Absolutely NOTHING! LOL! You might wonder why I'm on the good stuff. My sciatica has been acting up and it is the most painful and most annoying thing. It hurts when I stand, it hurts when I sit. The only comfortable position is lying down and even when I'm lying down, the darn thing still hurts!
Anyways, since I keep on losing my train of thought halfway through, I'm posting pictures I've taken on my Treo 650 instead and let them do the talking for me. The picture quality is awful -- it's a PHONE, not a camera.
Spaghetti wires in our server room. Forget about fixing it and making it all nice. After a few weeks, it's going to look like this again.
A foggy day in San Francisco.
My babies at work.
More servers at work. The blue lights remind me of Battlestar Gallactica.
Here's my puppy with his new toy -- Mr. Bear.
Zooming down I-880 after the Bon Jovi concert.
Bon Jovi concert. Yeah, he's there somewhere where the light is at.
The Chrysler building at sunset from the NY office.
My boys.
We color coordinated the floor with Jack's hair color.
This is the horse in the 7th floor lobby at work. Very nice piece and also anatomically correct.
View of the bay bridge from the 7th floor kitchen at work.
Self portrait. Yay, my wrinkles are starting to show!
Megan Hilty -- Wicked's Glinda on Broadway. Some guy asked her to sign his cheek. She's a hoot. She still had sparkles on her face and it felt that you were still chatting with Glinda at the stage door.
Eden Espinosa -- Wicked's Elphaba on Broadway. If my camera didn't run out of batteries, I would've had a picture with her. She did actually pose with me but the juice on the darned camera was gone. Anyways, she was giving me the thumbs up in this picture. Very sweet and very nice lady.
Anyways, since I keep on losing my train of thought halfway through, I'm posting pictures I've taken on my Treo 650 instead and let them do the talking for me. The picture quality is awful -- it's a PHONE, not a camera.
Spaghetti wires in our server room. Forget about fixing it and making it all nice. After a few weeks, it's going to look like this again.
A foggy day in San Francisco.
My babies at work.
More servers at work. The blue lights remind me of Battlestar Gallactica.
Here's my puppy with his new toy -- Mr. Bear.
Zooming down I-880 after the Bon Jovi concert.
Bon Jovi concert. Yeah, he's there somewhere where the light is at.
The Chrysler building at sunset from the NY office.
My boys.
We color coordinated the floor with Jack's hair color.
This is the horse in the 7th floor lobby at work. Very nice piece and also anatomically correct.
View of the bay bridge from the 7th floor kitchen at work.
Self portrait. Yay, my wrinkles are starting to show!
