Uneventful day… the day started off late, around 10 AM. Jet lag is catching up, especially with my boss. We ate brunch in Riverwalk Mall. I had a taco salad na super laki hahaha! Serving portions here nga pala are HUGE!!! So solved na ang tyan ko hanggang late afternoon.
We had the day off pa din and it got us wondering why we were booked this early kasi the convention proper start Sunday pa. There are pre-convention sessions but my boss and I were not part of it. Super sayang, sana nakapasok pa ko sa class ko nung Friday … haaaayyyy….
So ayun, we spent the day walking around, which lead to my feet being super painful na naman kahit na naka-flats na ako. Di pa yata nakakarecover sa kanyang kapaguran yesterday. My boss went to look for shoes, unfortunately her size is smaller compared to the average shoe size here. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for me, size ko ang size range ng paa ng mga tao dito around 7 and up. So, dahil masakit ang paa ko (justifying --- pero masakit sya talaga --- pramis!!!! ) I got white slip-ons. I actually wanted silver slip ons para cute (hahaha!) kaya lang ala na kong size, so white na lang. So now, I am walking around wearing my white slip-ons and my feet are happy and well on their way to recovery =) yey!!!
So the thing is, my boss couldn’t find a shoe that fits her. Ang ending, ang nakabili is ako at yung wife nung isa pa naming manager na kasama. So now, I think until she finds a nice shoe, we are going to be on the hunt for the perfect shoe :P.
Mahirap na mejo di mo ka-age group ang kasama mo kasi andali nilang mapagod at mawalan ng gana sa mga bagay-bagay. My boss was tired and just wanted to sleep and sleep kaya nung dinner, we basically stayed in. We ate sa restaurant sa hotel na super mahal ang price. I didn’t enjoy dinner much kasi I really wanted to go out sana. The food was good kaya lang yun nga, mejo ala ako sa mood (haha! Arte!). Anyways, dessert more than made up for it. If you happen to be in New Orleans, check out the desserts in Zoe Restaurant located in W New Orleans in Poydras Street. Super sarap ng Fig Cake – which was served with vanilla ice cream and placed in a wine glass – yummy! And the super sinful and super rich na Chocolate Decadence. Makakalimutan mo ang nasa paligid mo. Baka lang din sa case ko lang yun ,haha! I totally spaced out and yung cake lang ang pinagtuunan ko ng pansin …as in! It may be the chocolate or it may be the company … I don’t know for sure =)
Nga pala, we ate also yung beignets sa Café Du Monde. One of New Orleans’ attractions. Sarap din sya, fried square doughnuts liberally sprinkled with confectioners sugar – yummy! Lalo na pag mainit =). I ate it with their signature café Au Lait. The coffee is sweet na even without sugar pero it was good =) Puro pagkain ang kinukwento ko. Halata bang yun lang ang major attraction ng araw ko??
At dahil nga mejo hotel lang kami nung hapon, nakapanood ako ng “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” starring a super young Leonarde do Caprio at Johnny Depp. Nice pala yung movie na yun. One good thing that came out of staying in was that I was able to read a bit for school. Yey!
It rained…. It really rained… sana lang wag lumakas at maging storm. Nasa likod lang naming ang Mississippi River. Ang pagtaas ang pag overflow ng Marikina at Pasig River kaya ng powers ko, pero eto?!? Ayaw!! My gosh! As in tankers ang dumadaan sa river na to on a daily basis so you could just imagine how deep and how big the river is… pano pag yan ang umapaw???? Ayokong isipin. Eto pang boss ko alang alam itanong sa locals kungdi Katrina, lalo tuloy akong naloka.
Inaantok na ako… grabe, ala pang 12 inaantok na ako. Nahabol na yata ako ng pagod .. finally … after 4 nights ng 2 – 3 hours sleep lang, it finally caught up with me. Akala ko pa naman nakabawi na ako sa plane, di pa din pala.
Dami pa ko kwento …… ano nga ulit ang cnasabi ko?? Ahhh kwento … zzzzzzzzzz…
