Flashing, bright lights seem to be catching my attention lately & I can't help but attempt photography by having taking shots of it from my iPhone. The first four photos are from yesterday & the remaining were from the weekend. The first four photos were from yesterday's outing with Andrew to Rockefeller center. Out of all the places in New York, midtown always seems to be in the Christmas spirit. Sure every other store & part of Manhattan has lights up here & there, but midtown/Rockefeller always seems to be the attraction & has the most Christmas lights to blind you with. At least that's how I view it. The photo with the candle-lit lantern was taken at a teahouse-restaurant in Greenpoint, the photo after that was at a train stop in Queens, & the last photo was taken on my usual weekend-morning-pancake/brunch-making with Jonah. His kitchen counter top & the bowl of pancake mix looked, well, still-- in an attempt of some sort of "artistic sense," so I had to capture it.
Thank you to Andrew for taking me out yesterday when I was feeling a little down. We had a Japanese dinner in St.Mark's, Red Mango, & walked to Rockefeller to see the Christmas lighting. I never had a good reason to go to Rockefeller to see the Christmas tree lighting because, well, I'm not fond of crowds. Andrew convinced me to go & experience it at least once, so I took up his offer on it. So how was my first experience going to Rockefeller to see the Christmas lighting? Casual. What would've made it better? Maybe if the Christmas tree was actually lit. After that we walked over to Times Square since that was the only place nearby that was open at 1am for coffee. We sat in McDonald's & continued our conversation over fries & tea until it was time to go our separate ways.
Last night's outing was much needed & again, thank you Andrew. Just when I thought things at work would get better, they just get worst. It baffles me that I keep my mouth shut & people still have something to say-- or in fact "add on" to stories that have no factual back-up in them. Especially when people talk of "this & that" when you never said "this & that." I'm done crying & am just ignoring the state of the situation.
It's not in my nature to feed people bullshit or start drama. I'm just going to keep doing what I do best- ignore things that don't matter & that don't have truth to them. It sucks how you think people would know what kind of person you are by now, but I guess I have to think otherwise.
I can't wait for Mar Y Sol to officially hire me on the 15th of December. It's a better work place for me & I'm happy to putting my skills to use. My boss sees my skills & knows that I'm capable of doing so much more with her & her company then what I'm doing with my current employer. It's nice to know that someone sees my true potential & appreciates my hard work. Aside from that, I'm in dire need of cash since Christmas is right around the corner. Blah.
