new years in new york!

way back in february/march when i first got offered a job in japan for this school year, i was excited cuz i was gonna spend my 4-week Christmas-and-new-years-break in the philippines, and i thought that would’ve been awesome.  i was all bummed out when i didn’t go to japan because that meant no 4-week vacation to the “homeland”, and then i was bummed out even more because my cousins and friends are gonna be there for Christmas and i’m not gonna go… especially too cuz perry’s gonna be there for Christmas, new year’s, AND his 30th birthday, and i don’t get to celebrate any of those with him.

but… the good news is, new years is looking up!!!  ching called me up some time last week and suggested we go to new york for new year’s, and i was like, YEEEAAHHH!!!  of course!  but it took forever for us to figure out when we wanted to go, what days off she had from work, where we’d fly into (she has to hit up maryland for someone’s wedding...), and some other details, but finally, FINALLY, we got it all together and we were still able to buy discount tickets out to the big apple.  it’s pretty cool cuz i got the best price i could find anywhere, even with all my special preferences (i’m flying outta SNA with ching on dec 29 but returning two days later than her to ONT on jan 06) so technically it’s not even a round trip but my ticket was $4 cheaper than hers =) and it’s a great price, i thought i’d have to pay way extra since it’s holiday season but i had flexible dates, so it all worked out wonderfully!

we’ve also bought knicks tickets, they’re playing the phoenix suns on january 2, so kat, ching, and i will get to see the game!  nice, eh?  plus, i was able to get $11 off each ticket because i bought with my american express =) ain’t that nifty? =)

anyways, that’ll be fun being with my girls out there, and getting to see susan again (but not blackredyellownyc who said we’d go out to eat - booo!!  i wanna get my grub on! =P).  i am SOOO looking forward to my vacation.  this’ll be a good one =) it’s my last trip out there to visit kat cuz she’s moving home soon, and i’ll get to experience nyc for the third time, this time in the middle o’ winter with snow!  yehey!!!
