The End of the New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY

As most of you know, I'm now back in California although I'm leaving at 4pm to embark on a brand new adventure with my hubby.

We're starting out in India. From there, we'll be heading to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. In Vietnam, we'll have the opportunity to do some volunteering in an orphanage, which we're really excited for.

I'm doing this post at 3 in the morning because I didn't want to leave without an entry. We've only been back for a week and half and it has been an intense time, jam packed with activities and good times. I won't have time to catch up tonight, but I'll try to when I get back from my trip before Christmas.

For now, I'll leave you with one of our Halloween photos.

Me the Panda and my Hubby the Zoo Keeper!



See you when we get back!

The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 54

I'm horrible! Why have I neglected to blog for so long! This post is going to be a MONDO post with lots of updates and photos!

I shouldn't be making excuses, but I'll make some anyway. The office is in the middle of a move and so I've been helping a great deal with that. And on top of that, Dan and I are officially moving back to OC on October 21st so we've been doing as much as we can and hanging out with all of our NYC friends as often as we can. That means we try to do something almost every day!

You read it right. Dan and I will be moving back to OC on October 21st! The time in NYC has seriously gone by so fast. It's been an amazing ride and the experience of living in this city has been beyond rewarding.

For an NY update, the summer weather has come and gone and fall is here, my favorite season. It's not too cold and it's not too hot. The outfits are cooler and people don't smell as bad. I love crispy fall weather. You can just tell from breathing in the air that it's fall.

An old friend of mine, Chris, was in town this past weekend. I met up with him and Sophia, his gf, for some dinner. As you can tell, I'm not in my summer attire anymore. I'll be catching up on updates still so you'll see summer outfits in this post. My husband plays a mean paparazzi.

I'm going to go straight to the updates now. More Here...

The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 53

Goodness, I feel like I've been away forever! Time to update because as I think I'm catching up, I fall behind more than ever as the days and activities and events in my life fly by like rapid fire.

We've been enjoying New York's summer sooo much! Here's a photo of Bryant Park before the movie screening of Harold and Maude... Yes... p-p-packed!


Check out this pic I captured of hubby coming home from work. He picked up dry cleaning beforehand. Isn't he such a handsome feller? I think so sometimes, at least.

He got me back later on in the night when we headed for dinner at Curry Ya. Yuuum...

We're still eating of course!



Sometimes on our fire escape too...



I'll be updating what I can remember and for the beginning of this post, I'm going to start off with what we did this past weekend actually. We went back to California for the weekend to celebrate my father-in-law's 60th birthday. That sounds like a lot of years, but he can play a mean tennis match (he plays everyday). He's more fit than I am. Lookin' good for 60, Daddy-o-in-law.

I've also got to catch up on posting about our July visitors and we had quite a few all in one weekend too!

It was nice to see all of our family and friends. Just as the last time we visited for my cousin's wedding, I became a little homesick, Dan was homesick this time because we'd spent so much time with his family.

Of course, friends always make us want to come home. We also got to say good bye to Allen who is leaving to Chicago for pharmacy school. Don't mind my Asian glow.

Okay! On to July visitors. More Here...

The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 52

My hubby is out of town in Las Vegas this weekend. I decided that I'd wear his shirt today since he isn't here with me. Haha. When he called to see how I was doing I told him I was wearing his shirt and he said, "I love it when you wear my shirts!" He really does.

It was very sweet. His mommy called me today to check on her daughter-in-law. She was afraid I'd be lonely so she called to chat for a little bit.

K, Ladies and Gents... I'm back in hopes of trying to catch up on my blogging. A friend asked how far I was behind and all I have to say is I'm pretty far behind... lol.

In this blog, I'll try to catch up with our 4th of July trip to Orlando with our buds, Adam and Sonya. Dan and I had a great short weekend with Adam, Sonya, as well as our Floridian friends who live there.

Dan and I have been doing lots in NYC. As some of you know, we're heading home... back to California this fall so we're in a squeeze to do the things we haven't yet done yet.

We're definitely still eating a lot! Dan and I try to meet up every day for lunch. Sometimes we'll head out to Times Square to people watch. It might be a tourist spot, but where else can you meet people from all over the world. I've met some interesting people out there and have had great conversations.

A lot of times we try to bring our own lunch to save money for weekend eats and treats... More Here...

The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 51

~~EDIT! I added some videos I forgot I had. Haha.

Oh boy oh boy oh boyee!!!!! I have been such a slacker. My husband has been pointing out everyday that I need to update so I'm going to do it now. Our last four guests left this past week and I can tell you it was tiring going out until morning for 7 days in a row, but of course. But now we're getting our much needed rest.

On to the updates! We're still eating a lot of food! Love this place called... The Hummus Place by our apartment.

I recently bought a fanny pack I got from the Marc Jacobs accessories store, which gets laughs out of Dan and Laura every time I wear it around. HAHA. I like it. Keeps me hands free. I feel a little awkward when I walk around touristy places like Times Square (I work there) and see tourists wearing them. At least I don't have those horrid velcro rubber sandals on.

I'm going to begin with finally updating on Dan's birthday, which was on June 2nd. LOL. I'm so behind, yes I am. I took my husband to Gotham Bar for dinner for his birthday. Nothing, but the best for my Dark Knight.
