A night on the Town

You know working in Manhattan is great, one has the chance to explore and try new things. I try and sometimes get the paper and see whats new and what fun ideas are out there to try. One off the goals I had for this blog is to list a few restaurants. I don't have as many places to write about but I do have two that are great!

 Well Joy Burger always seems to be a great place to go after a hard days work. Oh and don't mind my boyfriend in the picture he was just distracted by a cat and I managed to get this picture of him. So whats on the menu...what makes this place great! For one thing the menu allows you to build your burger as you wish. From the size of the burger patty to the pickles and sauce. But don't take my word, its a place you have to go and experience yourself!

UVA...Now this place is a bit more Fancier...I couldn't believe how nice it was. To be honest I felt under dressed...lol Its better to get there early because i may look small as you head in but as the crowds start rolling in behind you, it gets even smaller. The Menu from the Antipasti, Primo, Secondi, to the dessert, the selection has a bit for everyone, meat lover to vegetarian. The wine selection is vast and I didn't even look at it all but if someone else does please let me know how good it is. It was a night that I greatly enjoyed, the noise level was moderate, and the dim lights put a spell on the night!
 For now I hope to have another two to write about. Hopefully may be with a bit more detail!!

The Start to my weekend

Well I have to say by this time I wish I could have had a few restaurant reviews may be even a few pictures...but if it wasn't for other obligations, busy day's, and even running the risk of pink eye well it was just a week that I am glad is over!!
Right now, even though I am just getting home, I have a half cup of coffee that I have been working on since 6pm. I am feeling pretty relaxed, in my pj's and watching my favorite movie. This is a great start to my weekend.
 I have been thinking a lot about my time, and the things I do and the people in my life. Not to say that things are bad but well, my time and emotions are things that I think about and meditate on. Now that I am going to have a bit more time, I just want each moment to count. May be its to much thought for tonight, but I am relaxed and so many things are zooming by my mind. 
The one thing I have to say is that I do feel smitten. I feel so happy when I am with a particular person these days that I hope things keep running smoothly. Its with his influence and affection that I feel driven  to be at his side. Its been a while since I have felt this way about a man. He is a man that works to make a difference in his career and family. A man that I can relate to as putting the things that matter first, such as family. Can it be that my heart has fallen, have I opened my heart to something that will last...The question I keep asking is can I trust my feelings, do I give it my all??? Things that I know I can answer in time I just hope that these answers don't cause more heart ache.
Well to a weekend of relaxing and falling not just in love but making every moment count!

NYC and the New Adventures

So I am sitting here and to my left I have a few papers and a small book that has a few names of restaurants I  heard or read about. I just keep thinking about when I am gonna go, hows it gonna be...and just knowing that I am going with great company makes me even happier. 
I guess having someone who wants to explore and make time to do this is new and just charming. I cant imagine how things will work out, but all I have is time, and thankfully him :) 
I will try and update this blog with reviews may be a few pictures that way if someone else needs a new place to dine they can get a full review from this blog! 
Finally I have something to write about, and give a bit of spark to this page...Hope to update this blog soon!!

What a day of disappointments...

I wasn't expecting today to turn out so gloomy...may be it was the weather, may be it was that i woke up a bit tired than usual. What ever it was it was unexpected and had effected the day in a way I wasn't expecting. The bad news is that "Casa Blanca" will still be a mystery to me until I decide to rent it on DVD... Work was a bit disappointing, and my love decided to be pissed because my phone decided not to send messages.
I took my anger and I walked....I literally walked and looked at the people around me the events that were going on and then a spark of creativity... I am came to corner that had long, wide windows and inside... were cups.  Now you must be saying "That's it...cups..." but yes these cups were hanging on string and these cups had designs on them as if it was a canvas... As I took a few moments to look at them I became inspired, I began to feel a sense of joy that only comes when someone creates something meaningful. I think that's what the artist must have been feeling..I just wanted to take each cup and look at the colors, and the designs...
Taking the few minutes I had to observe something colorful and creative made my night just a bit better.... I mean sure work was rough, and sure my boyfriend was upset at my phone, and didn't even wanna talk...But well I cant let the negative ruin the moments I have, I only live today once, and if I had to say what was the best moment of today...its being reminded that creativity can lift you into a place that no matter how bad the situation can make things a whole lot better...

The joy of a News Paper

Today out of all the other days as I picked up the "am NY," I was allowing my eyes to wander the pages when a black and white picture caught my eye. It was an eye capturing moment in a classic movie..."Casa Blanca" both characters are at the point of kissing yet it may not happen... well anyway there is gonna be a screening of this movie as a farewell to the summer of 2011 and I have to say its been a wonderful and breathe taking one. I am happy to say that I will be sharing this awesome moment with my family and loved one. I am excited and just waiting for this awesome experience.

Today I was shocked with a little surprise that my love had planned for me. Normally I would be expecting a little something...flowers, a card, may be even chocolate.... but what I was given was on a deeper level. It was a level of trust that could only be shown through acts of love, and care from the other person.I guess the reason why I am so shocked is that this is the first man that has taken the steps to having a serious relationship. I love it, and am a bit worried, and all these emotions and more race through my mind. I am not even sure as to how to feel...I mean I am happy, but I am scared of losing this feeling...Its so good and loving...I am just worried that I could lose it all... Well I do hope tomorrow the show goes well and Ill keep writing!! Till next time

Another month of Adventure

Ever since I saw the idea for "Romantic Thursday's" I have been feeling a sense of romance, a sense of thrill. The joy's of this new relationship leave me wanting more...More chances to have those romantic moments and hope to have a camera to catch them! Is it corny, is it cliche...At this point after Saturday I really don't care. I have walked, laughed and felt that moment where if I had to choose anywhere in the world to be I wouldn't change where or with whom I am with. 
So what next?? What to do? Where to go?? How do I release all these emotions that have me filled inside??? 
All these questions have been going through my mind, I have someone that will join me, understand me in my desires and interests. I just want to do it all. I am scared that this may only last a year... Usually the good, lovey, and excitement die off...but I am hoping that its not the case this time :)  

The Count Down Begins...

Its Sept 19th and I have to say so much has happened that I don't even know where to begin. From what I have been experiencing and feeling it actually may not be describable. But I guess I will get into those feelings a little later. So whats my count down well I have been in a relationship for two months and so far things have been great. Better than I could have imagined. I am knocking on wood right now cause I don't wanna jinks it...Yes, so this week I have a few things to get in order for a surprise I have for him. Its a few things that I have to make. In fact I see that I may need to head home earlier to make sure everything is in order...he probably wont like that, but well this is all for that one day that even if nothing works out...I just wanna know I gave it my all...Well I guess I am off to work :) hope it turns out great!

Cant wait to get it!!!! ;]

Feeing blah,blah, blah...

Good Morning to all who read this. I have to say that its one of those mornings where I just feel weird... May be because of all my emotions running around my body...If that even makes sense. Well lets start at the beginning...First it turns out that a family member of mine is suffering with a pain that I would wish upon no one. Following doctors orders and coming in a day before surgery it turns out all plans have changed due to certain feelings my family member may be feeling. I think this sounds confusing.... Anyway so now case in point because of the cancellation she may have to go home and suffer until another "appointment" can be given. This really pisses me off...Certain things I know cannot be changed, and other things can be avoided. What doesn't make sense to me is how in life people in pain have to wait and suffer in order to get proper treatment. I am worried and scared, I can only imagine how my family member could be feeling and I cant run to her right now. If I try to later it may be to late since she may already be home.
Another aspect of my day not feeling all that well is matter of the heart. How many times do I have to do this to myself??How many times do I have to make myself believe that I can be happy when in reality I making someone else suffer. What is it that I have to say, what is it that I have to do in order to "be happy??" Never thought that this aspect would be so difficult. Kinda boggles my mind really... So what should I do...How should I approach this, should I be a hard ass, or should I give in...accept my fate, or in other words take it as it is since I, right now, cant change things for the better.... I really do wish I knew what the hell I was doing but in reality I am living it day by day & I do HATE IT!!!!

New way of living..

I have been so far working everyday...that's right 7days a week, and so far I am going strong...resting when I can, trying to enjoy life, little by little. I recently started a new job and I must say that I love it. Its been worth while and the environment is so open and friendly that I feel right at home. The story is that I am new and as all new people in a new job training feels like it never ends. I wish I could do more, have a wider perspective as to what I am doing. I know Ill get there through time but I wanna rush this process. Well I guess thats all the feeling I can put down on the computer...hopefully today will be just as gorgeous as it is outside. Have a good one all :)

SO STRESSFUL

What is life? I asked myself this question all the time and still no answer. Life has gotten harder and more confusing...So lets start at the beginning someone close to me began a life that cant include me. What I mean by that is he has a family and I cant be a third wheel. At this point in the situation I feel like I am. He says he doesn't want her to be with the baby mama but will be there for the child well, ok thats fine but I still don't know about his feelings or mine for that matter. Most of the time I feel like he does care for me and other times I get this vibe that hes confused.
What have I become am I now the "other" woman, am I the person that doesn't let this man go to his baby's mother??? Does it count if he doesn't want anything to do with her??
Many people tell me to pull away just leave him, how this is not my problem. Its true its not my problem but I care for this man enough to be there through good or bad times. Its just I am not really sure this is the time to pull away
Now do you see why I am confused in life...I find that my own thought process is really scrambling my brain and I just wish I could stick with one idea and do it. If it is to leave, then leave, and if it was to stay then stay.
Another joke life seems to be hitting me with are reminders, reminders of what you may say, well of someone I thought things would be different with. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time, that I miss very much. I constantly remind myself that its no longer coming back but where I go, random people I see or hear seem to be dialing his number. Not literally but just brining him back into my sight. At one point I thought he was actually behind me. I shake my head at times thinking I have a problem, and may be I do...All I know for sure is that this is a feeling that will take time to forget or if it does have a second chance, can be a feeling that makes the rest of my days magical..

Take care to those that read this

The New Year

Happy New Year to All!! Well I have to say not much has changed, I am single, don't have a steady job but well I have to say, I am starting to feel like my old self. To be honest I don't know what to write about my life has been a bit stressful, emotionally. Someone from  my past has gone through a life altering changing, and effected me. I wish it wasn't the case, but the heart is delicate, especially in my case. How i wish things were different, and I know they will be, I just need to be patient...Well lets see how things go this week...Have a good one.
