Today marks my 5th year living in New York City.
It's been five years since I stepped foot on a blizzarding night in Newark Liberty Airport. I only had two big luggages with me. Now, I probably have a truckload of stuff. Has it really been that long since I came here? I was ignorant (but at that time, I didn't think so), carrying my Filipino-Catholic values from home. I didn't even understand what it entailed to live in this so-called concrete jungle. Now I embrace and experience it all the time. Cold weathers? Peace of cake. Crazy co-workers? Bring it on. $26 Black Label burgers? Let me try that!
New York, how did I last five years with you? You are the most arrogant, selfish and unpredictable place I've ever known. But, I will still love you anyway. Happy 5th Anniversary.
