OK, I Know I haven't posted anything in a while, don't shoot! Lol. So, I haven't been up to all that much lately. Just working a lot. But my summer job is officially over on Friday and after that I have to start seriously working on finding a full time for the year job. If anyone has any ideas, let me know...

Anyway, last Monday, some of my coworkers and I decided that we just HAD to get our nails done. So E_____ told us about this place in Woodhaven that does tips for relatively cheap, actually half the price it usually is. So we got all excited and started on our journey to Woodhaven. We walked all the way through two towns and into another. This isn't quite as bad as it seems, considering the towns around here are relatively small. Anyway, we walked through two towns to get a bus to take us deeper into the town. We were on the bus for all of five minutes, maybe less actually, when it was time to get off. All this traveling had taken us about an hour, maybe a tad more. We got off the bus only to find that this place that we were headed to was closed on Monday's. We were pissed off. I mean, it was hot and humid, we had just finished a long day at work, and we REALLY wanted our nails done for some reason, not to sure why, hmm.... Whatever. I should mention that what we wanted to get done (tips). So we were all sitting around trying to figure out what to do with ourselves. I suggested a place near me, but when I called them, it turned out that tips cost $45 there, WTFO! Please. So G____ thought of a place in Jamaica, but wasn't sure exactly how to get there. So we got back on the bus, into the subway, and found ourselves in Jamaica. G____ asked every person that we passed how to get to Crazy Nails. We never did find it. But we found another place just as cheap to get our nails done. Unfortunately, by the time we go there E_____ wasn't in the mood to get her nails done anymore, so she just watched G____ and me get ours done. On the way back to the subway, some guy on the street basically loomed over us and screamed once, then moved on. E_____ and I reacted quickly, did our little gasp of surprise and continued on our way. However, G____ who was thinking about the story she was telling us, had a very delayed reaction. The guy was already on another street when she put her hands up and screamed. E_____ and I started laughing hysterically, I mean we were almost rolling on the floor. Seriously, we had tears almost streaming down our faces. It was a very long day. But a lot of fun. The nails looked pretty good too. They lasted for a week, mine anyway. G____ still has hers. Mine ended up getting repainted (by me) three times. Today, I went to a place that's pretty cheap in my town, and got them removed and replaced. I might just try to keep them for more than a week. I mean technically I can keep them for six months, and just keep getting them filled, but who thinks I actually will? Seriously, I'm taking bets, who wants a piece of this action?

So basically, my days have been filled with work and nails. Now can you understand why I haven't written anything in a while?

My best friend went into the army today... Good luck Liat, I miss you.

I might be going to Six Flags, or Great Adventure (or are those the same places?) sometime soon. I'll let you know what happens. I've never been to a real amusement park, how pathetic is that, seriously? Oy. So this is my life. Comment.

Ok .. first things first .. What exactly are "tips" ? U went to get your nails "painted" or got fake nails fixed on yours or ... ? Forgive me .. Am kinda a doofus when it comes to cosmetics and "hi-tech" names :-P

Anyway , seems like u had a whale of a time ... and again, if i knew what u were talking about, i guess i could comment more :D

And is this jamaica THE jamaica ? Thought u stayed in new york .. Is it nearby ? (yeah , my geography's bad too ;) )

And what's 'WTFO' ? Really dull today , aren't i ?

Anyway , have fun at the amusement park .. I've been to a couple myself .. I love water parks ,though ... If you get a chance to visit the middle east , do drop in at 'Dreamland Aqua Park' in Umm-Al-Quwain (that's a place in the UAE , about 3 hours from dubai) ... U wont regret it :)

Increase the frequency of posts , na ... Or comment ;)

ok, tips are these things that are added to your nails, like nail extentions. Actually, I didnt really get tips, I got silk wraps, but it all amounts to the same thing, lol.

oh yes, Jamaica Queens fro those of you not from the states, lol. I did not travel to a tropical paradise to get my nails done for the afternoon. Even I am not that... dumb, girly... idk what to call it, lol.

"WTFO!"-- typo. It should say WTF (What The Fuck)

I cannot see myself going to Dubai in the immediate future, I don' t think it would be especially safe there for me, I mean I am Jewish and I am an American. I might as well have a target painted on my butt.

Common misconception .. But the truth is U.A.E ROCKS !! It's not like the other arab countries in the area .. I lived in dubai for about 14 years ... It's an awesome place ..

Don't confuse it with saudi arabia , jordan etc.. In saudi , for example , crazy rules exist such as ALL women (no matter what nationality) should wear a burkah (or a purdha - a veil that covers your face) when you go out in public , you should never be seen with a man who u're not married to , or not a relative of , blah blah ..

But Dubai (and the rest of the emirates, for that matter) are amazing .. Do visit when u get a chance ! :D
