New York Trip
November 30th, 2006 by C.Posted in Life at Cosmo | 29 Comments »
It’s been weeks since I came home from New York and I am back bursting with fresh new ideas for Cosmo, (thanks to COSMIC 2006, the Cosmopolitan Editors’ International Conference held in NYC), a rosier perspective in life (thanks to 20-hour plane rides and days of solo wandering in a new city), and an updated phonebook (thanks to wonderful new friends, with whom I am determined to stay in touch with).
I was able to spend a few days more in New York—an extension made more wonderful by lots of old friends and my cousin, Carmela, with whom I stayed with in the Bronx. It’s been years since I’ve seen her; I remember how my family and I would always pass by their house in Barotac Viejo, my mom’s hometown, on our way to my Dad’s hometown in Carles, Iloilo. They would have piles of foreign magazines in the sala, which I would devour while waiting for the adults to finish their chika.
