Just a bit about me…
I like to eye-shop, that is unless I discover something I really, truly love that I just can’t imagine myself living without it and end up dreaming about it.
I like to travel- and when I am traveling, I spend most of the time walking around exploring the city, trying to act like a local. 
I love to eat. I think I’m slowly becoming vegetarian, however.
I enjoy cooking- well, only when I feel like it. Pasta is my specialty; not because I received any kind of professional training on it, but because it’s the easiest for me.

I have a heart for missions. I desperately wish more people knew how wonderful Jesus is. I used to think that it was impossible for people to change… before I met Him. :*I

Be awed by the beauty of Water Lilies by Monet
Visit one of my most favorite places in NY- MoMA
11 West 53th st.
New York, NY 10019
Never saw this place so packed in my life… took an hour just to enter.
Magically make a glass of Frozen Hot Chocolate disappear in five minutes.
Serendipity
225 E. 60th St.
New York, NY 10022
Call it a tourist spot but I just can’t resist it- even the 2 hour wait doesn’t faze me. If I could, I would have one everyday for a month and promise I won’t get sick of it.
Walk around midtown and become actively involved in people/cab watching- trust me, it gets quite interesting.
Conduct Candy & Chocolate investigation @ Dylan’s Candy Bar, where you will be greeted by every single candy ever existed on earth.
1011 Third Ave (at 60th)
New York, NY 10021
Since there was a two hour wait at Serendipity, went around the corner to kill time at Dylan’s. You gotta be smart to survive in NYC.
Take a walk down the memory lane.
PvD- one of my favorite DJs of all time. For a second I thought that I would love to be there… then again, I quit partying quite a while ago, not to mention the fact that I live 3,000 miles away.
Have a break.
Panini & Lemon Soda @ a favorite cafe, Zibetto
Manhattan at night in rain… besides the completely soaked boots, it was quite beautiful.
Lastly,
Reminisce the good old days.
Also be reminded of the reasons why I left.

New York, Travel
Second day in New York-
Somewhere in Long Island on the way to Montauk
There are lots of these Victorian Houses on the East Coast- I would like one in the Hamptons, please. <333
Montauk
Saw a tiny rainbow on our way back- it was the first thing I saw as I opened my eyes from a long nap
It’s funny how things unfold the way they do. I had mentioned on Twitter couple weeks ago how badly I missed New York (see Sidebar). Then, out of the blue my boss asks if I want to participate in a project taking place in New York (she had no idea that I was dying to go, nor that I had ever even lived in NY).
And today, I got to visit the Hamptons along with Montauk both of which I had always badly wanted to visit, but never had a chance when I actually lived here. Another reminder that God listens to every single prayer, however insignificant it may seem to be.
Connecticut tomorrow.
