I Finally Got the chance to go back to NYC for 5 Days (7-2 day for Air travel) and got to spend Chinese New Years and Valentines Day with Family and Friends! It’s been over 2 years since I last went back.  I have to say.. it was Amazing to see all my loved ones again.  I don’t want to share to much people photos because I want to protect my friends and family but Food Photos are always welcome right? =)
I ATE Lots and Lots of Food that I use to always eat in NY! HotDog’s, Pizza, Pancakes, Sandwiches, Bagels, Burgers.. etc etc.. I also got to eat Dim Sum with my which was fantastic cause I got the chance to catch up with everyone. Here’s some photos!! =)

This trip was definitely a blessing because I had a few days to relax and reminisce in my past.  I got to visit my elementary, Jr. High School and High School to eat all the foods I used to eat when I was younger.  Thinking back to the 17 years I spent in NY.  I just want to thank every person that came into my life, and touched me in one way or another, to everyone that ever believed in me, and truly loved me for who I am.  Thank You!

Wake up everyday counting your blessings cause you never know when they’ll be gone.  Live everyday with no regrets.  Sometimes, it takes one step backwards to see how far you’ve gone, then pump yourself up to take those next steps forward!

NYC will always be a big part me.  I love you guys with all my heart! God Bless! ^___^
