a bite of the apple

"City that never sleeps!" this has been one of the famous phrases to refer New York City other than Gotham, or the Big Apple moniker. I have thought of New York because of a former classmate back in high school that now lives there. I just saw her pictures in Friendster taking some trips with famous places in New York like the Liberty and the Times Square. I never thought that she would end up living there because I don't remember her having a relative in New York or in the US in particular. I don't know exactly how did she get there, she has never replied on my Friendster message to her, maybe she has a work there that's why she's busy to respond back. Well, good for her. I just really did not expect her to be that successful someday. It's not that I am belittling her but she was too shy and kind of reserved back in high school. But looking at her now in her pictures in Friendster, she's being bubbly and candid. There were series of pictures took from a baseball game (which I believe taken last season) where she gamely posed with her other friends (or loved ones?). She was in a game where New York Yankees were up against the Red Skins. And I guess to prove she was in a real Major League Baseball game (or was just too excited - guess I would too), there was a particular picture where she held New York Yankees tickets closely in the camera. I believed her, well in fact I envy her - she was in Major League Baseball game, and it was the New York Yankees playing. How could anyone from our high school class could be bigger! I hope she'll reply to my messages and tell me more about it.
