This year has a few good surprises and blessings so far. Well at least I am expecting they will continue to pour in this first quarter. To name a few, there's a couple who has finally able to purchase their own house (I can imagine Minka Aire products everywhere now); couple brought a little angel into this world; a dear friend will finally get her US citizenship soon; parents have been brought to the US; a possible job for a friend (and me!); my youngest brother, passing the Nursing board exam; and a lot more. I was talking to Barney a while ago and I told him that I was wondering what happened in January. People who have jobs, like him, we know that they all had to work (he works 6-7 days a week). Me? I was a bum for more than a month now. So what did I do, I asked. It was only when he reminded me, one by one, the things I did, the people I have visited, the places where I have been to, the tasks I have done, the events that I have seen, that I realized, my January wasn't that bad at all. On January 29, 2010, I was supposed to take the Amtrak train to Ohio but was advised to put it on hold. All my life I have been dreaming for that Amtrak ride. I have tried all the mode of transport in New York and New Jersey now -- PATH train, Subways, Metro-North Train, NJ Transit, etc.-- except for the Amtrak and the AirTrain. (AirTrain JFK is a 3-line, 8.1-statute mile (13 km) people mover system or automated people mover (APM). Yup! No drivers, conductors, whatsoever, like the ones being used in some Disneyland tour/rides).  Waiting is frustrating. So instead of taking the Amtrak on Friday, Barney gave me a tour to JFK International Airport, via AirTrain. If you can just imagine how happy I was during the whole "trip". We hopped from one terminal to another. I was grinning all throughout the ride. Now all I have in my wish list is that Amtrak train ride. It's good to have someone who'd support you no matter how shallow or absurd your dream is. And my wish to see the happy bee was granted, too, this January.  |
