It’s been a month! So sorry for being in hiatus for the past few weeks. As you may have guessed, I’ve been profoundly busy for these couple of days by(1) school work – I really ought to be writing a paper on sustainability and computation of ecological footprints… blah blah (I know right? –my business classes has gotten me so high on these things that I don’t even have time to talk about my personal life); (2) social events that I cannot seem to say no to (some of which are for good causes) and (3) the “lazy bones” syndrome – I can’t seem to shake it off.
So as an attempt to revive my blog (and my blog readers) – here I am again! Draining a few inches off your precious time. I cannot believe May 2011 is down to its last few days and slowly I am creeping into my second month in New York! Can you believe it? I have survived New York! What seemed to be a far-off crazy dream of mine is actually unfolding bit by bit and who would have thought, after barely 2 months, I would still be in it? LOL.
I never had a check list of the top things that make you a true New Yorker; it was only up until I got so excited to be acting like one for the past month. This is nothing relevant really, I just laugh at the fact that I’ve done these things that I never thought I could. So please indulge with me for a bit – or not.
One of my proudest moments in the city would be was when I gave the CORRECT directions to a complete stranger at the subway some few weeks ago.
(1) Make everyone believe that you’re a New Yorker by giving them right directions at the subway – CHECK!
I had the best 5-course dinner in my life at Del Posto! It was an experience I will never forget, heck, I will probably even blog about! Mario Batali and his Italian food was pure… Love.
(2) Eat at one of the most coveted restaurants in the City – CHECK!
Someone asked me what I think was the best thing about NYC that I can never compare to other cities. I answered: “I love that everyone’s weird in the city, some even flaunt it around like a Channel bag”
(3) Love all people, Black, White and Weird! – CHECK!
This one, I’d rather not expound upon:
(4) Get hit on by a shirtless (cute) construction guy yelling “Ola, Mama!!! Want some of this? (he was referring to his abs) While walking down 42nd street at 12 midnight. – CHECK!
There are a few dozen more of these that I will publish but right now I just realized I must get to my other writing excursions – the kind I’m actually being graded upon. I really hate to cut this short but I really have to get things done ASAP. And just as promised, this article does not end here. The city and I have so much more to “reveal” and I hope you stay tuned for that one. And on that note, I will leave you with one more:
(5) Smile and stare at the most ridiculously handsome guy on the subway (surprisingly he smiles back!) – CHECK!
