Well I actually made my cruise today. Lol.
First off, I woke up at 8:30 (I was supposed to wake up at 7:30).. and then something drastic happened. My nose bled. Honestly, what is wrong with me. It's me either drinking too much or drastic weather changes or not drinking enough water. That's what it is.
That didn't stop for ages, which annoyed me because it occupied time that I could've been making breakfast (I found pancake mix in the house) or straightening my hair. I made a hot "cocoa" with marshmallows though, but I couldn't finish it in time so I put it in a paper cup otherwise I was going to miss my bus. I told myself once I'm at the bus stop I'll drink it. But it was so cold outside that my hot cocoa was getting cold quickly. So I drank it and walked at the same time.. There was a fucking bump in the footpath, I didn't fall, but my scarf like dipped itself into my hot chocolate. So annoyed. Furthermore, I reached the bus stop and the bus was 10 minutes late. Fuck sake.
Today was not my day.
Got to the city at about 11. I needed a coat. This was my 2nd day attempt at finding one. I even tried Macy's again and Michael Kors. Nothing decent. I need a fur trim hood! Why is it so hard to find one that isn't like a heavy duty ski jacket or $500?!
I made my cruise at 12, and that ended at about 2pm. Not going to lie I got a bit bored halfway through but it was great to be standing outside on the dock as we went past the Statue of Liberty (which I'm doing tomorrow) and going under the BMW Bridges. That stands for: Brooklyn, Manhattan and Westborough. I was so hungry I had a hot dog on board which was ridiculously overpriced. You could choose what toppings you wanted. I chose cheese and "chilli". Now I chose chilli because I like spicy things... It was like baked beans. Not fucking chilli. What is this?! Ugh. Not satisfied. Not my day.
I was due to meet my aunt at the Museum of Natural History at 3. I thought to myself.. I have an hour pretty much to try find that fur trim coat. So instead of walking straight up to the upper side of NY, I went across and went down 5th Avenue to try to find something. I went through Zara (disgusting), and Urban Outfitters (nothing), and then I stopped at Abercrombie and Fitch. Now I found something great there, a bit heavy duty, but it was $350. And I couldn't try the small. They had all the smalls bolted on the rack.. but you could try every other size? No, not interested. It was 3 and my phone was dead and it would take me approximately 30 minutes to walk to the Museum. I quickly charged it to text her to wait for me at the entrance no matter how late I was. I searched on my phone what street it was on, and on Maps it said 68. No one understands how tired I was and my legs hurt so much at this moment because pretty much I'd been rush walking the whole day. I reached 68, there was nothing. I asked a man, and he said 78. Ten more blocks. TEN. UGHHHHHH.
I finally reached it and I met with 2 of my aunts to go see the museum which is where Night At The Museum is themed at. Note: not all things in the movie are there. Luckily one of my aunts had 3 free passes, so we didn't have to pay anything. Because tbh, I wouldn't have paid for it. Like I said, I'm not really a museum person.
We finished the museum and my aunt and her husband and I went for a stroll throw Central Park before getting the Subway to Midtown to have dinner. Oh great, my nose decided to bleed again. I shoved a tissue up my nose for about an hour to make sure it stopped. How embarrassing.
We ate at this place called TGIFridays.. I had a Jack Daniels glazed grilled chicken breast with Cajun Styled Spicy Squid and Fries and a Tomato and Mozzarella salad.. And I finished it all. I was piggy today!
After that I had a mini photoshoot in Times Square. Hahaha. It's so hard to get a photo of myself bright, with the lights visible in Times Square with dark lighting.. And to have both in focus. Ugh. I don't know how to use my camera well enough! Oh well. I got some decent iphone ones?
I went to Starbucks and had a Grande Mocha Frappucino. That was actually quite nice.
After that, we went to Gershwin Theater to watched Wicked: The Musical. I was honestly genuinely entertained and that trumped Phantom of the Opera in West End, London for me! It was my first Broadway musical, and I loved the storyline. It was so great! And the actors were hot. My favourite character was Baque (Bock?). He was short and semi-hispanic. I don't know, I just have a thing for short guys.
After that we met up with my aunt's husband and their two daughters, and we went to Serendipity (which apparently is a famous cafe/restaurant?). I played flirty eyes with the waiter there and ordered a "coward size" Banana split. It was fucking huge. And when the waiter gave it to me he emphasised the "coward size" and the word "banana". Yes ok I get it you horny fuck. It had chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream, hot fudge sauce, walnuts, mango topping, whipped cream (which I fucking hate), cherries, and bananas. Food baby!!!
Now I'm home and I have to charge my phone and camera because they're out of battery and tomorrow I have to wake up early for a big day. I'm nearly leaving the big city, and I hate that! I want to live here so bad. I know one day I will, even momentarily. It's like $1500 a month for rent, but I'm sure one day I will do it! I just want to feel like Samantha Jones from Sex and the City to be honest.
I've already got the slut part down pat right?
Budget:
$35 - Cruise
$4 - Hotdog
$5.40 - Starbucks
= $45 (let's just round it)
So far my budget is going well, but I sort of hate how my family is paying for everything. I feel mad guilty. But hey, I've offered..
