Only today I saw New York for its prettiness. 

Before, I thought it was overrated. I'd scoff when people say "I wish I lived there". Frankly, I still think it's overrated but today I appreciate it a little more for what it has to offer. Here's some pictures taken during my little outing today. P/S: These are really MY pictures!

As I was contemplating my decision to move back for a couple of year in May, I suddenly felt a pang of sadness. I thought I'd be okay leaving this city (I'm always dissing about how dirty and polluted it is, how I never really feel safe around here, etc.) but as the days go by and time runs out, I'm not so sure anymore about how I feel. I'm sure of my decision, but not the way I feel about it (yes, there's a difference).

Just when I felt all alone in my decision-making, Jesus assured me it's alright. He popped a song in my head out of nowhere, Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park (of all bands!), and I was soothed by the words of the song. The same sun that sets down in New York will do the same for me back home.
