Birthday Weekend

As I wrote in my previous entry, my 24th birthday was on August 26th. My co workers got me a card and a cute bracelet (I have to take a picture of it to show you) and they baked me cup cakes (red velvet, my fave!) That was the highlight of my actual day. On Friday my boyfriend left work early and took me out for brunch. I was leaving for New York that day, so he dropped me off at the bus terminal.

That Friday I met up with a bff and went to the movies. We watched The Last Exorcism + then had some drinks. Really great times : D Saturday afternoon I met up with Xenia and Kathryn (my two best female friends) and we drove down to Jamaica Ave to catch the E train. I didn't know what we were doing, they wouldn't say. When we made it to the last stop I realized we were going to The World Trade Center. I had mentioned to Xenia how I had never been there before. We went to Ground Zero and into a museum they had around the corner dedicated to 9/11...

We walked around and got some pizza and went inside a accesories store. I was in heaven lol. I bought a necklace. I wanna go back! We then took the train again, and walked around. I saw Outback Steakhouse and thought we were going there, but when we walked past it I looked to my left and said 'Hey, isn't that Lips, the drag queen place?" And they said yeah, and I was like..."Is that where we're going?!" And they laughed and said yeah. Lol I was SO happy! We had a great time! Go if you get the chance! We got a bit tipsy lol. And then went to see Takers. I love my friends, they truly made it an unforgetable weekend! From Friday to Saturday : ) Love you all!

Holiday weekend;

Pictures from our lovely day at the zoo : ) the weather was great and we enjoyed ourselves. The smiles on my parent's faces was the icing on the cake. You can click on all of the pictures to see the original sizes! These are just some of them.

The birds were all in the avian house. It's similar to a butterfly house, so the birds are running free and flying all around you. My brother almost got flown into and I almost got pooped on lol I am grateful to my reflexes.

A very shy Orangutan, it was hovered under a blanket. A little monkey would go over and tap on it, and it would just cover itself even more, or hit the little guy until he left lol. So much personality!

My favorites. The Gorillas : ) I read on a sign "Did I forget my deodorant? No it isn't you, it's the Gorillas, they have a very strong unforgettable odor". They weren't lying!

It was so surreal being that close to it. I was in awe. I'd touch the glass and he'd just look at all of us there, all relaxed. I loved it : D

My brother drove.

Tomorrow it's back to work. I am about to go to bed right now actually. Have a great week!
