The Upper East Side.

It's true.

It exists. It's a real community with waaaay too much money.

I haven't mentioned it here but I got a serving job in a japanese restaurant on the upper east side. Yippee! And today was my first day.

It's soooo much work. But i shall not go into details. That will be for another day.

The Upper East Siders or UES-ers, as i like to call them, vary in shape and sizes and.. dum dum dum.. temperament.

Here's a list of the various ones i've encountered:

1. The weirdo who thinks he's all that because he has a company credit card. (Now, don't be confused. He is not a true UES-er. He just works in the neighborhood and likes to imagine being one of them, reserving his "usual spot" at 12pm every afternoon at his favorite japanese restaurant, where he can eat pretentious and expensive food for free and drink his diet coke with his pinky sticking out as he sips from the straw. Oh wait forgive me. His lemon diet coke. And, i kid you not, it's more than one guy. I'm not pin-pointing. A few of these walk in on the same day.)
2. The female lunch time regulars. (Definitely Liquor on the table at some point of the day. Huge engagement rings on their left ring-finger. Scrolling their Blackberries. Designer sweaters that do not flatter them. Hair tied up in pony tail. Gossiping about emails they've received. Nice people.)
3. The Rich College Couple. (Go watch Gossip Girl. Very similar. I personally do not watch GG but have heard much and seen a couple of episodes. So i'm hoping this statement does them justice.)
4. The Perfect Family with 2 kids below 12. (It is definitely every child's (or adults with slightly deprived childhood) dream to be part of this family. Parents with good tempers talking to their children like their adults. Joking around. Happy smiles. Never gets angry even when a certain first-day waitress took the wrong order. Parents who asks their children if they want dessert. Need I say more?)
5. My favorite, the BLACK AmEx card. (Oh, my heart, it just swooned. I touched it. It was in my hands. The Black AmEx card that I've only heard of. I heard you can buy a private jet with this card. It is that amazing. It doesn't even feel like a regular credit card. Private Jet. Black Card. My hands. Do the math.)
6. The People Who Knows They're Rich and Smirks at You Every Chance They Get. (Casually drops the fact that they are wearing a (very hideous, mind you) Versace shirt. Tries ordering sake but does not know what type there are. Names an unknown brand of sake and claims that it exists. Does not know what they want but pretend that they've got the whole menu memorized.)

Diner Dash has definitely trained me well to work in a restaurant. It's exactly the same. Just that it physically hurts. Hahaha! :P

Today i feel like doing this. So I did. And here you go.

[Insert Name Here], you can only be the best person you can be. Then, you have to leave the rest of it to God. If God wills it, and if it's in his plan for you, which makes it the best thing for you, it will happen for you. Good things will come. You just have to make sure your heart is in the right place, where God is. And not where your understanding brings you. Not everything your sight shows you is true. The road doesn't end at the vanishing point. It keeps going on and on and on. You don't see past the vanishing point. But God KNOWS what lies beyond the vanishing point. It's along the lines of what you've always dreamed of but better, more amazing, and beyond your WILDEST imagination. Yay! :)

This thought and belief is one of the major reasons why I am always so happy. Even when bad things happen. But these last few months, I have lost sight of it. Let's just say that it was in my blindspot. Hence, many the emo posts.

So now that I see it again, just thought i'd share.
