Rest of NYC
I’m currently on the Megabus on my way back to Rochester. The internet is hardly working so I’m trying to post this up when I get a spot of activity. I really needed something to do for 7 hours haha. So here is a recap of my week back in NYC after Virginia Beach.
The day after I came back was my birthday. I really hadn’t planned to do anything—I’m not a big fan of celebrating my birthday because the planning, inviting, and trying to make it all work out is quite exhausting when I just want to have a relaxing day. So I met up with Viv for coffee at this place at 71 Irving in manhattan. We had a long but insightful talk about everything and anything. These are the moments I really look back on as a perfect bonding experience. Then we met up with some friends for dinner at May’s Sushi Place at St.Marks since their food was cheap but delicious haha. After that we went next door to Maychan for $1 Sapporo’s. Then we went to Pinkberry for dessert. Most of my friends left after that but Viv & I stayed behind to crash the bars of St.marks. We bumped into some Rochester people and chilled in the bars with them the rest of the night. It was really fun seeing everyone, especially Steph, and drinking together Afterwards, Kelvin came to pick me & viv up to go home. I ended my night with a happy buzz :)
I met up with Christy the next day for a date J She bought an unlimited so we kinda went everywhere in Manhattan. We met up at Union Square and then went to eat at a Japanese Ramen Place in Alphabet city called Minca. It was delicious! Must go back there someday haha. Then we went to a coffee house called the Coffee Foundry? It was super edgy and contemporary. It was part bar and part coffee/tea house. We sat there and talked a long time before heading to Times Square for the new Forever21. She had to go after some shopping so I went to meet up friends at St. Marks again. I didn’t drink that night because I’ve been drinking a lot throughout vacation & birthday. Some drama went down between some friends but I hope everything will work out!
Friday I went with Sunny to Chinatown to get a haircut. They cut my hair much shorter than I had anticipated but it didn’t bother me much. It’s nice to have a change after all these years of long hair. I’m just sad I won’t be able to braid it for a long time especially since I just learned how to French braid and do the fishtail braid as well. Then went to eat at a Thai place with Sunny and his friend Antonio. After that, we went to AX to use up Antonio’s 75% off discounts since he was quitting the next day to work for Forever21. Then I went to meet up with Viv for an unsuccessful night at the bars (why so dead?!)
Saturday, my last day!! I went to dimsum with my friends and then we all went to target with my brother as well. We picked up dorm stuff for my bro and shopped at other places. I went home early with my brother for some family time before I leave Sunday. I watched some TVB with my mom and then they all chilled in my room for some of the night, playing cards while I packed. It was a good night…I’m going to really miss my family.
I’m excited that my brother is going to college in the fall (he’s all grown up, tears!) I feel happy that we’ve gotten closer now that we’re older because we were pretty much strangers our entire lives due to our 4 year age gap. It’s weird to see this protective/bigsister side of myself appear when I’m around him haha. I’m really going to miss Vivian too—it sucks being in Rochester without her because we do everything together L
On another note, I’m using Futureme.org to write myself an email that will be sent to me on my 28th birthday. So many expectations I have for myself at that point!!
It’s 4:50PM so there should be 2 more hours until I get to Rochester. I can’t wait to get offt his bus, my butt is sore and it’s crazy cold with the AC blasting!! The internet is awful L I can barely get online the entire time. On the bright side, I’m not sitting near loud nor smelly people, which makes my trip many times more pleasant J
