C A R O L I N E | V E R O N I C A: Work....

I'm back!!!! =P

Sorry for the lack of post. I started working 6 weeks ago and things have been really hectic because of the long commute, plus I was still trying to find the right balance for work and family schedule...

But here I am now =)

So...I went to New Jersey for training for one week, about a month ago.

It was the longest time that Rico and I spent time apart from each other ever since we got married. I missed him so much but I survived because I was very busy during the training. It started at 7.30 am and finished at 5.30 pm, every single day. Overall, it was a fun experience because I met new people and learn new stuff as well.

Th hotel we're staying is about 5 minutes away from our firm's headquarter in New Jersey. So, we had a chance to visit there. We also went to our New York Office, which is about 40 minutes from the headquarter.

I went to NY twice during my one-week-stay. The first one was on Sunday, the next day after we arrived. We spent the whole day to go sightseeing to Central Park, Ground Zero, Times Square, and Madison Square Garden.

I went to East Coast twice before, both during Christmas, so this time was a different experience because it's Fall season, and I love how the leaves turned yellow and red and the weather is perfect, not too cold and not too hot either. It's just georgeous.

I also spent quite some time in Central Park to do 'people watching' and enjoyed the ambience. It was lovely.

Then we had a very hearty italian dinner at Tony's DiNapoli. The food was extraordinary, the dessert was heaven, I love the cannoli and tiramisu. Will definitely eat there again when I have a chance to go to the city.

The second trip to NY was on Friday, the night of my last day of training. We had so much fun that night; went there by train and arrived at the Penn Station. Then walked for few blocks to the Empire State building and watch the beautiful NCY lights. Had a good Korean dinner. We then walked around Times Square. It was about 1 am when our shuttle arrived to bring us back to the hotel, but the city was still alive.

Fast forward, 6 weeks later, I survived my first few weeks of work and I'm still learning everyday. Overall, my new job is great, I love what I do and the people I work with. Hopefully it stays the same after I go through my first busy season...whoooo ;P

I will try to keep you guys posted...and in the meanwhile, enjoy the pictures I took from my trip... :)
