New York : USABOUND!

I'm going to blog about New York when it's still fresh. Hehehehhe. So I flew out from Sacramento to San Francisco to catch a connecting flight that landed in Newark. There was a guy sitting next to me who carried on his Chihuahua with him. Which at one point, I was like thinking to myself, "is that even legal?" Well, apparently, it is. #learningnewthingseveryday 

Because of the time difference, when touched down, it was already late, there wasn't much I could do. The next morning however, I explored New Jersey. I went to this place called the Frelinghuysen Arboretum where every tree was either yellow, red or orange. FALL IS HERE! That's one thing about have extreme weathers I guess, you get to see extreme beauties as well. Where else in California, where we don't get rain, we don't get snow(NOT COMPLAINING) and so, we don't get extreme beauty because our temperature for Winter is the equivalent to the temperature for Autumn for the east coast. Anyways, pictures to show you what I mean by extreme beauty. By extreme beauty, it also means that it's everywhere. 

Also, I had Chipotle for lunch. MMMM MMMMM MMMMMM. 

Day 2 was New York 

We took the Subway to World Trade Center. We walked past ground zero and took a few pictures before we continued to walk towards Battery Park through Wall St. Then, we spent a few hours on Liberty Island before we visited Central Park and Times Square before we took the Subway back. New York is the most beautiful city I've seen. I guess I understand why people would rather go through the whole hustle and bustle in New York because when you walk out and see the beauty of the city it totally makes it worth it. Okay, pictures on the way.

Amazing timing when there was almost nobody there, except for the guy in black on the top left corner.

The view from ground zero.

I blend. 

View from the reservoir in Central Park. 

 And that infamous Time Square screen that takes your picture - spot me! 

The next day was filled with flights and now I'm safely home. 

I vlogged! So you can click here for a different feel of my trip.

The Work Table - Where It All Begins

Are you one of those who has a messy work space, or a totally clean one? 

Mine depends on what exactly I'm working on. If it's art that requires mostly painting, I like more space and things to be out of my way so I can place my paint and my jar of brushes and my big canvas in the middle. 

If I were writing, I honestly don't care, as long as my hands have the space to glide over the pages of the notebook effortlessly without having to knock over things on the way. 

If I were working on school work with a lot of paper rustling situation going on, I'll lay everything on my bed right next to me to have a more organized space. Most of the time though, everything will be messy while I work and I'll enjoy cleaning everything up afterwards. Which is kind of odd because I don't think anyone likes cleaning up after their own mess. To me, it's pretty therapeutic. So when I start cleaning, it usually means that something is going on. 

Here are some pictures of my current table and work space setup. 

 

I have noticed that it's regardless what room I am put into, I will always always always have things put up on the wall. Bouquet of flowers, too always have a place in my room. Pictures are an essential and little ornamental snowball figurine things are too pretty to pass off and sit in boxes. I used old spaghetti sauce glass jars to put my coloured pens in one while I put all the sharp things like my scissors and penknives in the other. On my table, you will always find some sort of book/notebook and a lot of sharpies and black pens. When you see them, you'll know it's Zoe's territory. 

PS. If you love me, please buy me a macro lens :(

Thanks for reading! Baii!
