the royal wedding...

 I just want to post about The Royal Wedding of the 21st century, something that I will remember in the future (if technology does not get too confusing for me). I didn't really watch the whole wedding, but saw most of the best part of the public event. I thought it was a fairytale come true for Catherine "Kate" (Elizabeth) Middleton in marrying Prince William. I thought it was sweet, they kissed twice at the balcony, and I wish them the best of luck for the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge!

You know, I honestly really have to learn the Royal Family Tree and how they have royal titles of some place.


After all the digging on who is designing her wedding gown, Kate's dress was designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen; and Kate did her own make-up!

at Sammy's Fish Box

forgot to take pictures of our dessert
Celebrating my big sis' birthday- 11 days later. She turned 33 on April 5th. Food was good, big servings and nice service. Had my first taste of lobster! This place is located on City Island, Bronx, near the edge of the island towards the water. It would have been nice to walk by the water, but the weather was gloomy, clouds and heavy rain, and it was still chilly too!

went to see The Roots and Nicki Minaj

My hubby won two tickets to see The Roots and Nicki Minaj at Best Buy Theater from HOT97(FM radio station). The concert was presented by Casio, they were announcing their new camera "Casio Tryx". Good thing I was off, and my hubby was off the next day.
We thought they were going to let us in at 7pm, but it was more like an hour later, we waited outside the cold Spring evening with the rest of the people who couldn't wait to get in.

waiting in line 

When we were about to get in, the security told my husband he can't have his camera inside, because it was "too professional". We got escorted indoors to have our camera checked in. I was so bummed out, my husband was upset and disappointed at the same time. The theater was not that big, you have a choice of standing up close to the stage, or take a seat all the way at the back. After waiting almost two hours outside in the cold, we chose to sit. I used the camera from my cellphone.

 The show ended around 11:30pm, poor hubby he didn't have anything to eat since lunchtime. He had work that day and we rushed to get to the city by train. Hubby took some pictures once he retrieved his camera.

Hubby mentioned how there are still many people walking around the streets, and I commented that's why they call it "the city that never sleeps". New York City is such an amazing place.
