Some quick facts about moi: I have always lived by the sea (except for college years, which I did not really fancy all that much) and I am settling for now by the Atlantic Ocean. I adore bridges and late night walks tuning in to the subtle chaos of the city. I am the star of my own kitchen and I love to entertain. I love my family, I love my friends and I miss them a lot. I love traveling and my best memories took place in cities all around the world from La Habana to Amsterdam, Paris to New York. I am up for the unexpected fun and I don't like to overplan my trips. About my blog: My blog has no central theme whatsoever. I just post whatever I feel like that day. I am maintaining it for myself more than anything as I have a memory weaker than the average fish. Though, if you, the random person, stumbled upon my blog and are enjoying it, I am glad you are here. Browse away!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Strange encounter with a broker today… First of all, I shall note that the broker I met with today was VERY easy on my eyes. Yet he took me to his supervisor’s office who was really hard on my nerves.
I was told the fee was negotiable but they had me fill out a form and the form mandates the potential tenant to pay the full standard fee. So I filled out everything but did not sign the form. So this supervisor dude twice marked the signature field and asked me to sign. When I explained why I prefer not to sign, he decided to tore apart the form in front of me frantically. Luckily the actual broker was very nice about it and he sort of apologized. On the way out, the sweet broker proceeds to show me apartments on his phone and at this point he is acting nervous as if he will get caught and get fired. It was an awkward experience to say the least.
Why does it have to be so complicated to find a place to live in this city?
Leasing in New York City is one of the more frustrating things I had to deal with… I am hopeful, though. Applying for an awesome studio! Fingers crossed!!!!
OMG OMG OMG I laughed so hard watching Gaby pretending to be Angie!!!! LOVE IT!
This was an awesome day and this photo is just as awesome.
Another awesome day in New York. Happy hour with Stephanie. Nice breeze… reminds me of the Bosphorus.
Beautiful night. The breeze from the Hudson is filling me up with clarity and freshness and I feel so liberated. I feel relieved. Nice view, Arctic Monkeys playing through my headphones and I am so happy. There is no place for drama in my life and I feel reassured that it is the right thing for me to step back and I may not even have to do anything after all.
I like to avoid awkwardly serious talks with people at all costs. Yes, I admit it.
I am loving tonight and tomorrow will be awesome.
7:52pm. Gorgeous night. I shall go out and enjoy the remarkable weather.
I love this iPhone app. Coolest effects.
I beg your pardon?!
“Welcome. I hope your summer is going well. We have but a few weeks until the semester. So, I thought I’d reach out and start assigning homework.”
Yes, this is the e-mail that I got from one of my professors today!
UPDATE — This gets even better. Read on…
“But in the meantime, I thought you might like to get started on the pre-reading for the course. There are two books I’d like everyone to have read before the course starts — there might even be a quiz :-).”
Is that Andy’s place? This is so frustrating! At least it is not Ryan Seacrest, I can handle Kathy.
BFF’s.
