I had started my summer internship today and everything is going smoothly. I was fortunate to be in a room full of smart people with diverse backgrounds. I think it will take me another day to get into the New York vibe again, as I haven't totally gotten over my jetlag - or my leaving Manila again.
When I got home yesterday, my friend Rizza gave me a warm welcome. She is one of my trusted friends who carry a spare apartment key, so I let her come in and out of my place when needed. Despite having plenty of food in the pantry (but no energy to cook and wash dishes), we decided to eat out and indulge in giant New York portions. I flew via AA, which scrimps a lot on food and snacks, so I got here hungry!
I had said this many times over, but it felt so surreal walking in my neighborhood again. The pouring rain added to the drama. I convinced myself that it's good to be back again, so I called on my NY girlfriends for a dinner full of catching up. Smelling the pungent streets, seeing my trusty doorman and paying $9.70 for a cheeseburger meal (and eating leftovers for my next meal) had awoken me. I am back in New York, and it welcomes me with glee.
