~ bro’s here ~
it’s the first day of work and i’m sick like a cow. it’s been like this since yesterday. i think i caught flu. when i was in San Jose, rudy has been coughing night and day. he successfully giving it to me, along with the fever and runny nose. tsk tsk tsk…
anyways, i had to pick my brother up in the airport tonight, at 9pm. my brother is coming back from Indonesia tonight. so is ari, but his plane would arrive at JFK.
so, i decided to leave work late and catch a train/bus/whatever that would take me to Newark airport. megan told me to take the train to Penn Station, then a train to Newark, and bus/cab to the airport. i thought it was too much hassle, so i chickened out and took a cab instead.
i didn’t know that the cab would be so expensive. the driver told me, “next time, if you wanna go to Newark airport, you should take the train to Penn Station, … (repeat what megan told me)…. it would be so much cheaper!” oh well…
ramanda, my brother, arrived about an hour late from the schedule he gave me. he got out around 10:30pm, while he’s supposed to leave Newark at 5:15 the next the morning to Savannah.
on the way to my apartment, i realized that ari wouldn’t be able to get into his apartment cause i have his keys. so, once i get home, i had to wait till ari called. his plane should arrive at midnight. but the thing is, both me and ramanda are hungry. so i waited till around 1am, and leave for the diner across the street. we left a note on the front door telling ari that we’re in the diner, and we also sat on the window booth facing my apartment.
until we’re done eating, ari never showed up. oh well.
ramanda and i talked a lot, that we forgot to call a cab fro him to go back to the airport. so, we ended up stading on the side of the road, waiting for a cab at 3 in the morning for an hour. there are not many cabs running around in Queens, especially before the sun’s up.
we both almost gave up, but thank god, there is cab we could catch around 4. i hope it wasn’t too late for ramanda to catch his flight. i went home, and crashed to bed right away. i have to work tomorrow, and last night i only had 3 hours of sleep. i guess, i only have 3 more hours… ugh, coffee needed.
