Today was so nice, it was warm ... not hot ...with a brisk wind that caresses my arms. I got a chance to use my sleeveless tee, carry on a sweater just in case it would get colder. I walked out the door, blinded for a second by the sharp shine of the sun ... whooaaa ... what a day ... love it. I don't remember when was the last time it gets so warm and nice like this in NY ... almost 6 months ago. I'm a night person but I love the sun, it's one of my source of happiness. Spring is on the air ....
I was feeling all happy ... ... even anong's grouchiness didn't bother me that much ... cause we're heading to IHOP anyway ... can't wait to get the buttery hot pancakes with maple syrup on top shoved down to my empty tummy *drooling*. At IHOP, we were seated in the booth by this little chick ... literaly .. she's like 2 yo old something, soooo cute with her curly pony tail and yellow hair band ... her eyes are so bright and those lashes are long and curled up .. drop dead gorgeous ... I wanted to pinch that chubby pink cheek, but I refrained myself :P~~~. So we just ordered the food, I got The Big Steak Omelette ... cost almost $10, but oh well, I was starving as hell and it look damn good. Anong just got the Grilled Cheese Sandwich ... no pancakes?? no way ..... mine came with three buttermilk pancakes ... * mmmmmmm .... * that's what I'm talking about .... Forget diet for this time, I need my calories ... .
I was seated by the window with my back facing it, so I got to soak up the warmth ... oooh, felt so good. Not a while later, that little chick was pointing at me and anong ... she murmured something, I was like "What did you say, baby?", her mom said ... "She thinks you're Chinese". I smiled back and wondered how this 2 year-old knew, then I said "She's right ... I have Chinese in me", the mom looked surprised because she thought I wasn't .... yeah, I look more like Spanish or Filipine. (note to slesta: it's new york, girl ... we have the same problem ... hehehe ) .
After finishing up, sooo full, I only ate two pancakes anyway ... I planned to see Mr. Martinez, hopefully he's at home, so Anong waited in the car while I went upstairs. When I knocked at the door, I didn't expect him to let me in ... I only need to say a few thing to him, but I walked in anyway ... and there she is ... Mami is at home!! She's back from the hospital ... oh, I'm glad to see her ... she looked skinnier but still pretty and smiley as always. I called her Mami because that's how Spanish people call a lady ... She got heart attack and went into comma about 5 months ago ... so happy to see her back home, I kissed and hugged her ... She's really resembling my great grandma, maybe that's why I call her Mami while the other girls call her Mrs. Martinez. We chit chat for more than 30 min, poor Cookie .. he's waiting downstairs painfully ... sorry babe ... then I said bye and told anong the good news ....
What a day .....
On top of that, I got an email from mom ... I always love to get emails from mom eventhough she replies in a week, duh mom ... so rellying on my brother just to hit CONNECT and SEND button. I just reread it again ... and the bottom part just makes me so warm this whole day ....
