You know how the rest of the song goes. I've been walking the streets of NY today and felt those oh-familiar feelings of glee once again. There's just something about this city that makes me happy. I had to meet my sister at 5th Ave. (not to shop -- as if), but to say goodbye to some Pinoy friends who were staying at The Peninsula and who were going back home to the P.I. tomorrow. I got queasy when I learned that they were paying $700 a room (um, they got 4 rooms, stayed for 20 or so days, so I did the math and almost fainted). After that I just felt depressed but instantly recovered after my sister suggested dinner. We went to grab some Japanese food on 49th St. and after the gyoza and the gigantic bowl of steaming noodles, I completely forgot about the room rate (ugh!).
Today was definitely a good day. I went to mass and made my 3 wishes at St. Lawrence in Weehawken, had lunch at Mitsuwa (yes, today is Japanese food day) in Edgewater, NJ., watched Iron Man, and crossed the tunnel to New York where I met my sister. I enjoyed the day immensely. The only thing (or should I say, "people") missing are my kids and of course, hubby dearest. But hey, I had my 3 wishes... and so, we'll see what's gonna happen next.
