Major NY Update

Damn. Been a long while. The past few weeks have been really really busy, but a good busy. Friend's visiting, hosting, being tour guides, checking out new places, partying, lots of drinking, a few hang overs, means a few call-ins to work, and over all lots of fun with good company.

Let's start with our 2 months anniversary in this city. To celebrate I went and bought Maia a fish. I've been wanting a pet to take care of and she's been wanting a fish. So win-win.
Made a trip to Coney Island with JP, Renee, and Carlo. All of our first time.
Atlantic Ocean.
Can't wait to come back in the winter when it's quiet and peaceful.
Look at these two.

JP came to visit his girlfriend out here and we got him to cancel his flight and stay in NY. Got us a new room mate!
5pointz. Alice in Wonderland
One random day while doing my laundry I met the one and only, NY graffiti legend Futura2000. I was so starstruck. Prolly one of the the coolest moments I've had here so far.
Slo and Edsel came to visit from the Bay Area. Here's the aftermath of night 1.
Subway randoms.

Soup Dumps with the dudes.
View from DUMBO.

Then to end their trip. The day they were leaving it started snowing!!! Our first time being/seeing/experiencing the snow in NY! we were all definitely excited.

Got on the roof to experience it fully.
Boys
and more drinking.
That's it for now. It's late, I'm hungry, and I got work tomorrow... Ill try my best to update sometime in the next 3 days. Promise!

The Neighborhood

Saturday night got a little too out of hand which caused me to miss work the next day, but I am so glad I stayed home. The weather was perfect, I felt rested, and had the whole day free. So we went around and explored the new neighborhood.

A lot of the buildings around are pre-war. The architecture on the buildings around are really cool and interesting. A lot of vintage details.
It seems like New York always has something going on. Art exhibit in the sky.
Waiting for our laundry
Thrift stores are just a few minute walk, found a cheap grocery store, and lots of restaurants around. We even have an antique shop next door!
I cant say it enough, but I am really happy about our place.

OUR apartment

After a month bouncing around this new city, we've finally moved into a place we can finally call our own and man does that feel good. No more living off suitcases, microwaving left overs, sharing bathrooms, playing tetris with our luggage, etc.


Here are a few snaps of our place.





Although it would be nice to stay in something fancy, its not what I prefer. This place is just as I expected to be staying in, in New York. Old, with wear and tear. It's been here decades before me. Its got history, has character. Exactly how I like most of my things.

So if any of you are ever in the area. Come visit and take a look!

and I would like to thank the people that let us stay at their place to give us a chance to get on our feet. Really appreciate all of it.
