NYC went by too fast and the week after that flew by equally as fast. I can't believe it's already been a week and as much as my luggage has been unpacked, I still have not cleaned up my bloody room — clothes everywhere, receipts strewn on the floor and other miscellaneous crap that I need to file away.

Speaking of receipts, I paid off one of my credit cards this morning; oof! Just one more to go and I'll be debt free… WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Debt free and still broke >_< Still, I restrained myself from buying: 1) A Tag Heuer; 2) A Traser watch; 3) Replacement laptop (mine's like a P2!); 4) an upgraded desktop; and… 5) A Yoda backpack (yes, laugh all you want but I MUST HAVE IT)… As you can see, all the goodies a girl should have and I decided to be responsible and pay off my debt ^_^ It's all material things anyway, right? UGH. But I must have that Yoda rucksack. I will allocate $$ for master Yoda!

NYC teaser pics!

Monday, 10 July 2006 | 06:22 pm

Ok, so I took LOADS of photos during my New Yawk trip and I literally need another day or two to organise and post them online! In any case, I'm not the one to disappoint, so here are a couple of photos (some processed with Photoshop, some not). Enjoy!


Taking this photo was pure luck. I happened to glance at that area and see one Euro dude about to walk away when I took this quick snap. Taken at the ground level of the Guggenheim Museum. Processed in Photoshop.



I'm a geek of medieval stuff, so when I found out that they had armour and other neat things @ the MET, I thought that I'd go and check it out.


The old and the new — a contrast between St. Patrick's Cathedral's gothic structure and the hardness of a modern building. Don't thank me, thank this photo book I read that noted it; I merely found the spot (in the middle of the road!) and quickly took the photo before getting hit by a vehicle.



This one's funny. The poor dude's tired — he's prolly bored of all the “modern” art work in the MoMa. Yep, I thought the other pieces were bollocks as well. Seriously, there's this HUGE piece of canvas with three scratches on it. WTF? That's art?! Anyway, I happened to see this man taking a nap @ the lower level as I walked across the hall. Perfect opportunity to play paparazzo!



Can you tell I really like St. Patrick's Cathedral? Anyway, here's a frontal shot later processed in Photoshop.


This is a fun photo. I purposely moved my camera slightly while waiting for the photo to be fully captured. I hope it comes out clear in higher resolutions later cos I want to make a poster out of this one. You can't tell cos it's blurry, but that's the Radio City Music Hall sign at night. ^_^

Anyway, hoped you enjoyed the teaser pics! I shall do my best to post the rest soon!
