yesterday, i went to times square and stared at the brightly lit lights. it was so bright that i assumed it was day when i wasn't looking up at the night sky. there are so many chocolate shops there, i feel so tempted to buy chocolates which I obviously didn't or i would be a chocolate coma right now. There are so many food stores that's no reason why the people here can NOT be morbidly obese. People on the street are bigger as in taller but so far the sizes seem reasonable. i hope i dun become a barrel at the end of the day.
the hair on the other hand seems a little more crazy. there are some cool styles here. and definitely more cool clothes. i have seen at least 5 pairs of shoes yesterday that I wish I could just walk up to her and ask where she got them. sigh, this city will make me bankrupt. not that i think tt's a bad thing.
went to watch Mary Poppins the musical. OMG!!! THE SET AND DIRECTION ARE AMAZING! (i blame this comment on Sharon and Chewy) if it wasnt for them, there is a really low chance I would say this. the costumes are flamboyant victorian costumes. i cant believe how it was designed. the costumes are really nice mix of smart chic and pure fun. the show is caught in btw a classy english play and a children's wonderland.
i must totally blubber over the set. i've seen many plays, from minimalistic to downright extravagant. this set is both. the set is extremely well developed with a unique mix of simple props to huge moving house. the best part i think is the seamless transition when moving the props. im at awe at the speed and the small little details that they paid to the set. the props are not only realistic. small quaint touches such as blooming flowers from a pushcart make it all the more appealing to the heart.
.i wanna watch it again
back to the other surreal experience. My landlady has the same birthday as I do!!!
how fantastic is that?!?!?
I fly over several countries and seas to meet someone who has the same birthday as me!!
We had a fantastic talk last night and this morning I had her creation, beans with deep pan omelette. she's really a fantastic cook. i ate her porto rican dishes just a few days ago. lovely roasted chicken with beans stew and topped off with flan.
i am so going to gain weight after this. but still.... IM SO HAPPY IM IN NYC!!!
the weather is sunny, mostly. the streets are way cleaner then london. the subway on the other hand just is a huge drawback with the smell and all. but who cares, im going to try living the dream for a bit!!
