Here I am again in my 'Ode to NY' posts. Spent the whole day by my lonesome walking the streets of NY (as usual) while ruminating over the week that went so unbelievably fast. Last wednesday, met Gladioly (we worked together in SM a few years back) at Otto, one of Mario Batali's restos in NY. We had bellinis and pizza while catching up with the new (present predicament, plans for the future, etc.) and the old (our grand and gruelling days in SM). I went to her midtown apartment afterwards and it was as classy and as pretty as dear Glad. So happy for her that she has somehow found her little niche in this big, bad, and beautiful city.
I was also desperately seeking for Ben 10. Zaki made me promise to buy him the game and I had to sweep all of Times Square (shame on you Toys 'R' Us for not having it) and 34th St. for it. Well, congratulations to me, I was able to find the last one at Game Stop. Zaki will be very happy indeed. As for my little girl, I had to get a Dora bag for her since she's been repeatedly asking me to "buy me a big bag, mommy." She's 3 and she definitely knows what she wants.
I wish I could post photos of my jaunts here. But I left my trusty old cam back home. I guess I'll just have to keep all these in memory. I still have a lot of things planned out till I zoom off to the South next week: watch Conan (but I couldn't get tickets!), go to Soho, meet up with sorority sisters, go to Central Park, eat at Serendipity 3 on 60th St. (it is after all named after this blog or is it the other way around?), attend Monette's wedding (my sorority sis from UP is tying the knot finally!), have Margaritas at Black Bear, and hear mass at St. Pats (not necessarily in this order as alcohol and church don't really go well together-- do I have to go to confession for this?). Hopefully, I could do all these things without keeling over.
Oh well, till next post.
