weekend in the city (june 30, july 1 & july 2)

This is a long overdue post. But what the heck, iupdate ko pa din toh.

Friday night, Keith & I watched Superman Returns. I thought it would be a sucky film, but I actually liked it. It was pretty good. So good that we wanted a second round but at that time, we didn't know when the 2nd time would be.

Saturday initial plan was to meet up with Michelle and her friends (Erica, Ninya & Ryan) then bring them around the city. I was waiting for Michelle's text the whole morning coz she was suppose to text me the final "meeting time". While waiting, Keith & I went to BK for breakfast then we also went to Toys R Us sa White Plains. Then, when I called Michelle, she said to meet up na lang at 12ish. So we went to her house at 12ish as planned, we met Erica (who lives in New Jersey), Ryan & Nina (who both came from California) then we left her house a little before 1 ata. We took the train ...



... then arrived at Grand Central where we took some pictures before heading out ...




We saw some street performers ...



After walking and walking and walking, we finally saw the Philippine Embassy. We took some pictures outside ...




... and inside shempre!







We walked over to St. Patrick's Cathedral of course.






We stopped by near the Central Park in the city ...





We took the subway to Times Square and shempre took pictures when we were in the middle ...






After debating on where to eat, we finally decided to go to the Bubbagump sa Times Square. Then we pretended that it was Ryan's birthday so the staff would have to sing for him. Ninya asked one of the waiters to make Ryan stand on the chair, which they did.




Sunday we were just chilling at home then I got a call from Michelle na labas daw ulit ng Sunday night. Originally, Ninya & Ryan were suppose to go back to California Sunday night but they changed their flight so longer ang stay sa New York. So, we met up once again then headed to Battery Park to have a glance at the Statue of Liberty. Did some picture taking, haha.




After the park, we went somewhere in the city to watch Superman Returns (hooray!). We really wanted to watch it in an IMAX theater but there's none around so we settled for the good old fashioned theater. hehe. After buying the tickets, we ate first at this barbeque place since there's some time. Stress on "SOME" coz tagal iluto ng food so we had to realy really eat fast.



We got home like 3am ng Monday, July 3. I was still texting with Michelle til like 3:30ish then I slept after that. Unfortunately, I had work that that day at 8am. So I had to wake up at 5:30. I went to work super tired but it's ok. Coz I really really really had fun. It was super fun. So kahit super pagod, it was worth it. Good thing there was no work the following day, I slept a lot. I really "recharged" nung times na un. heehee.
