New York posts continued!
January 18, 2009I realized that I totally forgot to continue my New York posts. XDDD So I will now continue them! And I’ll update the previous posts with pics. XDD
DAY 3!!!
I woke up late on Day 3, so we had a spam brunch and then headed out. We stopped by Bloomingdales first (which I now fondly call Bloomies XDDDD) and once again my aunt shopped madly for clothes for me to wear. FINALLY, I found something that I really liked! So my aunt happily bought me two awesome DKNY sweaters (don’t worry!! They were on super sale and were much cheaper than you are actually probly thinking!!!) and then we went to Saks Fifth where I found an awesome hoody and bought that too! Yay! Then it was around 6pm when my uncle called to say that their friend had called to say that they were picking us up from our apartment at 7pm to take us out to dinner. My aunt got a bit distressed when she then found out that my uncle wasn’t actually in the department store and was three blocks down at Best Buy. XDDDDD We waited for him to get back to us then together we dashed madly to the subway, hopped on the 6 and got to the apartment 15 minutes late!!! Only to find that our friends were stuck in traffic. XDDDD When they finally picked us up, it was revealed that we were going to a restaurant in Long Island. Because it was a long way away, we happily chatted and joked in the car. Then one of our friends says, “I should’ve brought my son…”
Aunt M. (Mai-chan’s aunt): Yeah! You should’ve brought him along! We can’t pick him up on the way?
Friend: Noooo, he’s working tonight. Mai, how old are you?
Mai: (totally mystified as to how her age was related to the topic of conversation) Uhhh 22…O_o
Friend: Ohhhh, we could’ve paired you up…
Friend’s girlfriend: What are you saying! She probably has a boyfriend!!!
Friend: Well, do you????
Mai: (His name is Aiba!) Nope.
Aunt M. : Doesn’t your son have a girlfriend??
Friend: Nope! Oh what a wasted chance…-_-;;
Aunt M.: Awww, and your son is so nice too…Mai, he’s so funny!
Mai: Uhhh…okay.
Friend: The next time you come to New York, you guys can meet. It might be fate!
Mai: O_o
XDDDDDD It was so weird. XDDDD That was the second time that week where a family friend had tried to hook me up to one of their sons and then mentioned that it might’ve been fate! XDDDDDD I think it was fate that I didn’t meet them. XDDDD Anyhoo….
We end up at this restaurant called Minado’s. Which just happens to be a Japanese buffet. *Mai dances around in happiness*
I got to eat this lovely food:


UMAI YO!
Of course, the company was similarly awesome:

And randomly, there was an Asian dude who looked hot from afar XDDDD

But then he looked in my direction and I just…looked away. XDDDD
And thus… Day 3 ended. I was exhausted. Running across New York is definitely fun but inevitably tiring. XDDDD
