Friday: Went to work until noon, then had to rush home to catch my 2 o’clock flight.. piece of cake. Then flew into BWI, landed at midnight. Parents pick me up from BWI enroute to New Jersey, arrive in NJ at about 3:30AM since my dad drives slow.
Saturday: Wake up at 8am. Take the spanish bus to the Port Authority, meet Monique and Monina at Lion King. Eat lunch at Ruby Foo’s.
Then we had mirianda at Mozart Cafe to celebrate Monina’s birthday and to meet more of Mo’s friends… had some good conversation about FIND and ECASU with a pinay from Harvard… Then hopped on a bus at the Port Authority to Woodbridge NJ for a barbq for my mom’s birthday. Got the regular interviews from the Titas about why I like Monique and about our first “date”… so that was fun, my parents already love her!
The barbq ended at about 10pm then we road back into NYC and hung out at the Omni Birkshire before I walked M & M back to their apartment in the Village. Then Monique and I had our first alone date at Dragonfly, a filipino joint near NYU… I left her place at about 3am.
