The efforts of some people bewilders me.
We spend the days having random chats with brilliant conversations that range from war to the man next door. Through one of these conversations It was brought up that I just "have to go to Central Park on the 24th" with him. I did not think much of it, or maybe I did, but regardless I agreed to go. The 24th rolled on by and I had to babysit my adolescent sister. I quickly called up Alejo asking if we were still up for the outing, and I explained the little predicament and he suggested I call my mom and see what she says again, then he suggested that I try to leave the house when my mom comes home. It was agreed, and I patiently waited for my mom to come home at 9 o'clock. By the time she got back she thought that my going out with Alejo to Central Park at the break of night was a bit iffy, and being a woman who always complained about my hanging out with guys, she was not too keen on allowing me to go. With a bit of persuasion, I managed to have her allow me to go out "for an hour to Edgewater", so we went out for an hour and 40 minutes to Hoboken. We, or rather, my hair and I were lucky to have gone out on a day that was nice a clear. There was not a big of humidity in the air. As we rode down River Road I staired at the beautifuly visible view of New York City and then all of the sudden a few fireworks blaired. I pointed them out and Alejo said that they were most-likely from the event that we had previously commited to. Disappointed, I asked him what sort of thing were we supposed to attend and he told me that he had planned to take me to see the New York Philharmonic. I was quite outstanded and surprised, for a little clip popped in my head from the time where I had told Alejo that one thing I simply must do is see the New York Philharmonic play (It is my dream to one day play for them, but that is highly-unlikely so I explained that I would mearly settle for viewing a live performance of them). I must say, that looking back I am more than sure no one has ever made such a brilliant effort (or an effort at all) to try and do such a wonderful thing for me. I cannot even say that anyone has ever even looked into my little thoughts or took them into consideration at all. Even the mear thought of trying to take me to an event like that is remarkable to me! It's remarkable. It's not that I cannot believe Alejo considered the thought because he is quite kind in nature no matter how far it hides in the depths of the strong, blunt and assertive persona, but I cannot believe it.
