now that i've finally found some time (well, i should be working, but im not) i guess it's time for me to re-cap my fun-filled trip to
NYC!!! it was sooo much fun guys! i cant express how much fun it is, and how you all should head on over there with a few friends! it'll definitely be something to remember!
sooo...first of all - it was snowing like crazy! we were lucky enough to be there for NY's first blizzard of the season!
it truly felt like a while christmas! i've never gotten a chance to fully appreciate that statement until now. it was snowing starting friday morning (our second full day there) all the way through saturday, with some serious winds going on Sunday, but we were tough and we braved the storm. it was definitely an experience...
we saw soooo many things there in New York that i'm never going to forget. it was truly an experience, from having dinner with
Jay's family wed and thursday nights, to shopping in chinatown and SoHo for the best deals on thursday and "hopping on and hopping off" that big red sightseeing bus for New York tours - ground zero, st. paul's chapel, and battery park - it was definitely an adventure - trying not to get lost in new york, like that kid in home alone while trying to see as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. dude, i think we saw that
rockefeller tree from just about every angle possible...it was just beautiful nonetheless...
friday was definitely our day of roaming, searching, and getting lost and "getting cultured". friday started bright and early and we tackled the "things of culture" from visiting the famous "Strawberry Fields" in memory of John Lennon (side note - our hotel was down the street from where he actually died), to the
guggenheim museum and it's beautiful works of modern art to the
MET and it's vast diversity in art, to ending the day with dinner at the
NYC Hard Rock Cafe and watching
The Boy From Oz with
Hugh Jackman (damn, that's one handsome man!)...what a day.
saturday was the day of adventure...we went in search for places to shop and more places to visit. we saw the world famous
Rockettes in their
Christmas Spectacular Show, the
Rockefeller Center tour (with a cute tour guide!), and lunch at the Center, mass at
St. Patrick's Cathedral, roaming around Times Square,
Madame Toussads Wax Museum, and the getting lost in our mad search for
Serendipity...that was ridiculous...we had the hardest time finding that place!!!
and comes to sunday...what a day...we finally found
Serendipity. and we found the
chelsea market which we were in search of cuz
kuya phil (jay's brother) supposedly found the best brownies there at
Fat Witch...then we headed back to the hotel to pack before we met up with
connie, ric, amy, aris, n mimi at the
empire state building for a quick tour and dinner...that was fun...then it was over...our trip was over so fast...im gonna miss new york!
sooo...i've given you all a lot of eye candy - lotsa links, so maybe you'll feel like you went on a little tour with me...haahaa...but yah, you can see everything i've put out...besides, i've got 4 rolls of fill to develop and you'll definitely get a chance to see my pics! but that is all...now i've been blogging for way too long, i better get some work done...
