Free Skating at High Line Rink
After living in Cancun for the past 3 months, I’ve just returned home to my favorite city, New York—and back to blogging for HeyDoYou. It’s great to be back! 🙂
As always, there’s a lot going on in the city this summer, and if summer fun is what you’re looking for, you will not want to miss out on the High Line Rink – Made for All by UNIQLO, a new, outdoor roller skating rink, which will be open from July 28 through September 26.
This collaboration between UNIQLO and Friends of the High Line brings one of the greatest summer pastimes to The Lot, located under the High Line at West 30th Street & 10th Avenue. In addition to skating, you can also shop at the UNIQLO Cube, munch on food from a rotating series of food truck, and sip beer and wine at the Lot on Tap.
Hot wheels!
What’s better than skating, shopping, and snacking under the High Line? FREE skating, of course! And to celebrate the opening of the High Line Rink, UNIQLO will give free admission to the first 500 visitors on the first two days (July 28 & 29).The rink will be open from 11AM – 10PM, Sunday through Wednesday and 11AM – 11PM, Thursday through Saturday (Admission, including skate rental: $10 under 13 years old / $12 adults).

Harry Potter Review
My cousin Wesley is in NY visiting so he is guestblogging for me! Here is his review on Harry Potter 🙂 Friend him on Facebook!
The movie “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II” was a great way to close out the series. It was a great combination of epic battles and touching emotional scenes. The battle scenes were well done and very intense. You can see how much Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) has grown as an actor. The scenes in this movie require a lot of emotional range of Radcliffe. Whether it is when he needs to confront Voldemort and his Death Eaters but also when he is required to show his friends and peers how much it means to him that they are all fighting against evil, in other words fighting beside him.
Director David Yates was able to take the audience deeper into the heart of the story because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was split into two movies. Small plot elements that are crucial for the story are able to be incorporated into the movie because of this. This allows those that love the Harry Potter series to feel more connected to what is happening on-screen. A more faithful adaptation was able to be produced. Splitting up the movie let the makers of the movie construct an appropriate final showdown between Harry and Voldemort. There are definitely liberties that they [the makers of the movie] took but I believe that most fans will think that it is a solid representation of the world that J.K. Rowling created but it is still easy enough to follow for those that are not fans of Harry Potter.

I’m back…. and I sure hope you are all keeping cool in this amazing summer weather. I’m not going to complain because I’ll complain again in the winter but it’s amazing and though I can’t really breathe outside I’m still enjoying the sun. I’m sitting outside writing this as we speak, and yes I’m wearing sunscreen but getting sunburned none the less. However I discovered a little new (to me anyways) gem that has opened near Queen and John Street. Literally right in from of MuchMusic. Blushberry is Toronto’s premiere frozen yogurt place. The fro yo was so delicious and guilty free. Plus they had such excellent customer service. I have no complaints!!! Now I got some chocolate fro yo with strawberries, and Ferro Roucher sauce on top. How yummy!!!!

Blue Jays LOVE
A few weeks ago, a yummy tanned man, walked into my work, and this is how the conversation went…
Me: How come you’re so tan, and it’s not even summer yet? (At the time, Toronto wasn’t hot enough for him to be that tan)
Him: It’s because I’m from Miami.
Me: Oh, so what are you doing in Toronto?
Him: I work at the rogers centre.
Me: Okay, doing what?
Him: Serving water
Me: * wondering when water boys got so damn cute* Okay well have a good day.
Him: *laughs* and leaves.
Ricky Romero, Myself, and J.P Arencibia
After he left, my co-worker runs up to me, and says, “Oh my G-d, do you know who that was?” The expression on my face was a clear indication that I had no idea what he was talking about. Long story short, it was Toronto Blue Jays catcher, J.P Arencibia. The next time he came into my work, I didn’t hesitate to call him out on his lie, and told him the only way he could make it up to me; was to take a picture with me 🙂
Fun times.
peace, love and health

Did you know? As of June 4 2011, Arencibia leads all major league rookies with 9 home runs, which is already a Blue Jays club record, surpassing the previous record of five, shared by Pat Borders (1988) and Greg Myers (1990).
