Christopher Street
My friend (who will remain anonymous throughout this entry) and I met up at the Path station in Journal Square to head towards Hoboken. When we got to our stop, I decided that I didn't want to go to Hoboken just yet so we got off at the next one, Christopher Street station.

It was beautiful. (Sorry, no pictures.) I guess it was the early morning light. The park was just glorious. There weren't a lot of people so it was really quiet. But more than anything, it was the sight of Hoboken that was wonderful. It was breathtaking. He kept telling me that he's never gone to a place like that before, and I honestly felt weird because, well, I go to parks all the time. (Batang-park ako eh.) We sat on the grass, which is something I haven't done in a looong time, and had dark chocolate. God. Loved it. :)

Oh! And there was a cute somebody who tried to talk to me. Had I been alone, I would have talked to him too.

Hoboken
After an eternity (He enjoyed sitting on the grass. He said he loved the feel of the sun on his skin. Haha.), we headed back to the Path station and went to Hoboken.

Coffee. Banana Nut Loaf. What would a trip to Hoboken be without them? :) We sat at the park (Sabi sa inyo batang-park ako eh.). It was lovely. It was windy, but the sun on our skin kept us warm. Then there were planes writing a message in the sky. Shucks. It was the most romantic thing ever. It read "I love you." Aw. It was super, super, super sweet.

Barnes & Noble, Hoboken
After we had our coffee, I told him I wanted to go to Barnes and Noble. (I was actually thinking about getting him one of my favorite books, Beauty's Punishment by Anne Rice.)

We were walking along First Street (And it's not 1st street like in New York. It's actually spelled out.) and... well, he got me flowers.

They were nice. The picture I took is sucky, but they're beautiful. Really. (Except, you know, I don't know what they are for exactly.)

(He should have told me he was going to get me flowers so that I could have told him I loved daisies more than roses. I dunno. Roses stink. Daisies are friendly. But whatever. I still think they're nice.)

I got him Beauty's Punishment. I would have signed it, but he wouldn't let me. (Edi wag.) And I got a new bookmark that reads: The greatest happiness in life is to love and to be loved. Then we headed back.

The flowers are in a vase now. And I'm writing all of this so that I wouldn't forget that it was a great day. I wouldn't mind having one again.
