With much drama and last minute shiznit…my girls and I finally pulled off our New York City trip. Gotta admit though, I was thinking of backing out due to financial restraints (lol), err, due to a pending Dominican Republic trip that cost me a grand plus plus. I was undergoing a spending phase and my lust for NY wasn’t enough. But I went anyway. Might as well see the Big Apple.

This was the reason why:

C’mon Fil-Canadian bigwigs; get your wheels rolling and establish a Jollibee in Toronto already! Don’t make me mad!

We took the ferry to Staten Island but not really planning on getting off onto the island; we just wanted to see the Statue of Liberty

Rockefeller..? I don’t know much about this place. Look picture!

Of course when I think New York I think the massive retail giants. For a shopaholic like me, this was heaven. Too bad I didn’t get to go shopping. Clearly, 2 days weren’t enough. So it was pure sight-seeing.

The ever-animated and lively Timesquare

Aaaaaand the surprise and highlight of the whole trip: The accidental spotting of one of Gossip Girl sets…

Chuck Bass’ empire The Palace Hotel on 455 Madison! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

This was the night before our departure. One o’clock in the morning the three of us GG fangirls found ourselves…well, by ourselves roaming the streets feeling like paparazzi. The adrenaline was awesome. The GG boys were all in that spot and OhH my Ed Westwick! They were there in spirit LoL. *thud*

I definitely have to go back. For now, stay glamorous New York City.

Kuya Jorick and Ate Cathy trained all the way up from Saskatchewan down to the heart of Ontario. They stayed here for a good three weeks and I’m pretty sure they covered all territories; malls (they loved Dixie Mall) to falls (Niagara!) and by the way, they’re such awesome cooks!

We took them on a boat trip around Toronto Islands, which mind-bogglingly cost $20 each person. Epic rip off!

Another highlight was the Niagara Falls trip. The day was lovely but it’s always colder by the water. There was a spot in the area where you can get soaked PRETTY GOOD. It was a cold spring day!

We also hit the downtown streets of Niagara. It was so colourful and lively. My favourite was the fudge store! We also went on the very high-tech ferris wheel ride that went on three laps.

Come back to Toronto next year Kuya Jorick and Ate Cathy! And make sure it’s summer when you do! We miss you and your awesome cooking!

I have a couple of pending updates; My Niagara Falls and New York City trips to be posted soon (here and on 3rdWorldKids) -___- I’m so robbed of time for the past couple of weeks! Crazy stuff!
