wake up; take a bath; dress up; eat breakfast; sometimes can not. my everyday routine. then im ready to take 1 to 2 hours travel to my work. i used to do this all the time in 3 months. . . until 1 day, in my way to work, we ride on the same bus and he sat beside me.  i just ignore and listened to FM, everyday i encountered this situation sitting with whoever. But i didn’t expect that this time is unusual. after 3 days, we ride on the same bus again, and i dont know if he choose to sat on beside me or just a second time coincedence. I just ignored him again and just listened to FM. then, suddenly i heard him asking, “ikaw ulit ate?” its like a big QUESTION MARK tied in my neck, why he remembered and noticed me that its “me” again? and why he never hesitate to asked. why he calls me “ate?” hmmm! and then i found out, his a 1year older than me. amf!

thats the beginning, then i can not control him asking so many question and shared some stories of him, altough im not asking. He asked me where do i work, where do i live, what course i have finished, what year i graduated, what time i go home, do i have bf…. so many questions…. then he shared some about him, that if he will have a girlfriend again that would be the girl he will marry with. the thing is, hello? im not asking you. ^.^ but its okay…

from that day, we often see each other, my new routine. “.) going to work with him with the same bus. isn’t it awful….. its like a bus affair, why? because i can not help him being sweet at the bus. he used to lied on my shoulder and smell my cologne and sometime asleep over, attempt to hold my hand, reminding me to take care, and his always looking at me. i dont like that, im not aware. but what can i do? he loves looking at me. i told to myself that if only im an ice i’ve melt already. sometimes im praying not to see him. sometimes i wish i can see him and ride on the same bus.

He ask me if i love my bf,  said no comment.  why your asking? he answered me back “para alam ko kung may pag-asa ako.” im kinda shock about it, but still i remain quiet with that matters. its like never happens never heard. i dont know what he really like to do. i dont like guessing although its obvious that he likes more than friends i still want to hear it from his own tongue. but he never ask me yet. actually if he ask me i will not hesitate to answer it with “YES” hehehe i dont have bf, i just told him i have because i dont want to be disperate haha. ops, “pakipot epek”

William Astor, motivated in part by a dispute with his aunt, built the original Waldorf Hotel next door to her home, on the site of his father’s mansion and today’s Empire State Building. The hotel was built to the specifications of founding proprietor George Boldt; he and his wife Louise had become known as the owners and operators of the Bellevue, an elite boutique hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Broad Street, subsequently expanded and renamed the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. Boldt continued to own the Bellevue (and, later, the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel) even after his relationship with the Astors blossomed. William Astor’s construction of a hotel next to his aunt’s home worsened his feud with her, but, with Boldt’s help, John Astor persuaded his aunt to move uptown. John Astor then built the Astor Hotel and leased it to Boldt. Initially foreseen as two separate entities, Boldt had planned the new structure so that it could be connected to the old by means that became known as Peacock Alley. The combined Waldorf-Astoria became the largest hotel in the world at the time, while maintaining the original Waldorf’s high standards.

The Waldorf-Astoria is historically significant for transforming the contemporary hotel, then a facility for transients, into a social center of the city as well as a prestigious destination for visitors. The Waldorf=Astoria was influential in advancing the status of women, who were admitted singly without escorts. Founding proprietor, George C. Boldt, became wealthy and prominent internationally, if not so much a popular celebrity as his famous employee, Oscar Tschirky, “Oscar of the Waldorf.” Boldt built one of American’s most ambitious houses, Boldt Castle, on one of the Thousand Islands. George Boldt’s wife, Louise Kehrer Boldt, was influential in evolving the idea of the grand urban hotel as a social center, particularly in making it appealing to women as a venue for social events.

When the new skyscraping Waldorf-Astoria was built on Park Avenue, under the guidance of Lucius Boomer, the manager of the old Waldorf, a cast of furnishers and decorators with good reputations was assembled, to give it a grand yet domestic atmosphere. Boomer retired to Florida after the old Waldorf Astoria was demolished, but he had retained exclusive rights to use the name “Waldorf-Astoria”, which he transferred to the new hotel. He died in an airplane crash in 1947, and Conrad Hilton bought the Waldorf Astoria in 1949.

In 2006 Hilton Hotels announced plans to build a second Waldorf-Astoria near Walt Disney World in Florida, and in 2007, plans were announced that another Waldorf=Astoria will be built in Beverly Hills, where Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard cross. A combination hotel and condominium Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and Residence Tower has been announced by third parties to be developed for Hilton in Chicago. On August 24, 2007, Dimension Development Company of Natchitoches, Louisiana announced the purchase of the New Orleans Fairmont Hotel and plans to convert the hotel into a Waldorf Astoria. It was not immediately known whether the name would be changed to Waldorf Astoria or whether it would revert to its former name, The Roosevelt with the tagline, a Waldorf Astoria Collection Hotel. In the 1940s, 50s and 60s, The Roosevelt was home to the World Famous “Blue Room” which brought–for the first time–the best Hollywood and Las Vegas talent to the Deep South on a regular basis.

The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel is a famously luxurious hotel in New York. It has been housed in two historic landmark buildings in New York City. The first, designed by architect Henry J. Hardenbergh, was on the Fifth Avenue site of the Empire State Building. The present building at 301 Park Avenue in Manhattan is a 47 storey, 625 ft. (191 m) Art Deco landmark, designed by architects Schultze and Weaver and dating from 1931. The hotel is the flagship of the Waldorf-Astoria Collection, a chain of upscale hotels spun out of the Hilton Hotels and Conrad Hotels chains, as well as some new hotels.

The name, Waldorf=Astoria, now officially appears with a double hyphen, but originally the single hyphen was employed, as recalled by a popular expression and song, “Meet Me at the Hyphen.”

The modern hotel has three American and classic European restaurants, and a beauty parlor located off the main lobby. Several luxurious boutiques surround the distinctive lobby, which has won awards for its restoration to the original period character. An even more luxurious, virtual “hotel within a hotel” in its upper section is known as The Waldorf Towers operated by Conrad Hotels & Resorts.

The hotel has its own railway platform as part of Grand Central Terminal, used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adlai Stevenson, and Douglas MacArthur, among others. An elevator large enough for Franklin D. Roosevelt‘s car provides access to the platform.
