Wow it’s Sunday already? It’s amazing how time flies when you’re doing absolutely nothing. I woke up yesterday rejuvenated. I had a small meal and then decided that it was time I start getting some type of physical exercise. I was determined to go outside for a “run”. Keep in mind that in my vocabulary, run means a combination of jogging and walking briskly. I discovered there is a jogging/biking trail near the river by East End. I walked up to 79th Street and discovered an entrance to this place. I ran from 80th to 63rd Street and back uninterrupted by traffic lights or by a leering audience. Today, I repeated my run and only heard one car on the FDR honk at me. Score!! I also saw two broken down cars on the FDR at around 3:45 pm. There were a ton of angry drivers waiting for the cars to be cleared.
Last night, I went to Chinatown for some good cheap Chinese food with my friend Tony, his friend Barbi and my sister, Diana. We had some great juicy buns and delicious homemade noodles. It was really good even though it was quite a walk from Canal Street. Also, I was determined to bring Tony to the famous Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. I have been craving passion fruit ice cream since the day I was lucky enough to have some over a year ago. To my surprise, there was a label that said passion fruit so I was ecstatic. I ordered my passion fruit ice cream and to my disappointment, the employee told me that they were out of it. I asked him when in the day did they go out. And he said that there’s no specific time. I guess next time I will have to go super early in the day to get me some of that delicious ice cream. I’m sure when I finally get to have it again, it won’t taste as great as I remember it to be.
On Friday, I attempted to make scallion pancakes without a rolling pin or enough counter space. I succeeded, but I did not put enough salt, and this is second most important ingredient (after scallions of course). I documented my journey in scallion pancake making with my camera. (It was the only excitment of my Friday night).
Here are some pictures:
My perfect pancake.

All in all, it was an unproductive, but great weekend. I hope you guys enjoyed the sun. 
ain’t that the truth. i have 4 days off from work this week because they’re cutting hours. the first two days all i did was watch 24 season 2 dvds. i finished the season in case you were wondering.
Wow…where’d you get your motivation?
lol, those look like wonderful pancakes. And it sounds like you had a wonderful time out, even if they were out of your favorite ice cream. Hope you get some soon!
I want Chinese! wish they had good resturants on Guam!
that pancake thing looks really delicious!!
hehe
i liked how in the first part of your post you mentioned wanting to start exercising, and then in the last half you talked about yummy food and eating, reminds me sooo much of myself
