Reason#44 to love New York: FRENCH TUESDAYS
November 23, 2008 by candylifeEvery day is a performance
November 18, 2008 by candylifeI heard a nice revelation from a young person today:
“Every day is a performance.”
This was an intern speaking at a benefits luncheon about their experience starting out in the corporate world. This wasn’t just any intern – it was one of the alumnis from a special development school for poor, underprivileged youths.
I’m so inspired by this program and have been looking into becoming a volunteer associate. I wish we had opportunities and training like this when I was growing up!
Reason#43 to love New York: VETERAN’S DAY
November 16, 2008 by candylifeI live on the fifth floor of a walk up on the Upper East Side with the kindest neighbors. On one occasion, I lost my keys and everyone was kind to offer their place, bottled water and to help carry my luggage. On another occasion, the Kris Kringle neighbor across the hall gave me a homemade VHS copy of the movie Juno. But there’s one neighbor on the first floor who I’ve always found intriguing with his freedom of expression.
Oops, I just tweeted
November 10, 2008 by candylifeHi Everybody,
I just tweeted for the first time today. How do you write a clear, concise statement in only 140 characters? My college English professors would have loved Twitter. Let’s have some fun with microblogging. Follow me here: http://twitter.com/candylife and set up your own account today!
How do you know when he really loves you?

November 9, 2008 by candylifeReason #40 to love New York: THE X90 BUS
October 26, 2008 by candylifeI mentioned I hate the subway. Well, I hate it even more on rainy days and forget trying to hail a cab from downtown to the UES. Fortunately, salvation comes in the form of the five dollar X90 uptown express bus. This helps cut 10 minutes off my commute time and drops me off right on the corner. With the subway, I have to walk 5 minutes-subway 25 minutes-walk another 15 minutes. I don’t mind when the weather is mild but the winters and humid summers can be unbearable!
