Life in LA - Day 2

We had a domino effect of waking up...we were all up before 10am. I'm telling you the Pink's cracks. Anyways, we had a good brunch at this spot called Maxwell's. Very good quality tasting food. We needed energy to take us shopping down Main St. & 3rd St. Promenade. 3rd St. is a must when visting Santa Monica. Went into the David & Goliath store and in the back there was a Pop-Factory gallery of paintings done by Todd Goldman.

Back to the apt to unwind from a long day of shopping and walking. Our days were non-stop. Time to get ready for dinner at the Buddha Belly at Santa Monica. Very good asian fusion food. Service was pretty crappy though.

After dinner, our plans for the rest of the night were still in the air. Kicked it with Aaron while he took us to a local bar called Saints & Sinners. Definitely was not our scene...so we convinced him to journey with us to Hollywood again.

Went to The Highlands. The club was in the same area of the famous Grauman's Chinese Man theater. The view from the club was beauts. Overlooking the Hollywood strip. Very diverse club with different music all night long. Stayed till closing - 3am.

"Life in LA is sooooo insane" Day 2 SUCCESSFUL

Life in LA - Day 1

Sorry for the lack of updates. Plain & simple: I've been pretty lazy to even blog, cuz I don't even know who the hell is even interested in my blog. hahhaa. Anyways, I'm keeping the next LA post short and sweet, less words, more photos.

Ate at the Veggie Grill, everything on the menu is organic. I had a burger and a carne asada type of burrito. Both were equally filling and delicious for a first time experience.

Waiting for a special EXPRESS delivery, pineapple, maybe?

Heading to Venice Beach a.k.a Muscle Beach for some R&R

Too bad it was too freakin' windy to do anything, really. MJ and I were not dressed appropriately for this 6o somethin' degree weather. And we didn't bring a mat or anything to lay out on the beach, so we strolled the sidewalk for a lil bit.

Headed to House of Thai to grub and then back to the apt to get ready for our first night out in LA. LADIES NIGHT fa sho', 5 deep at the Social Nightclub in Hollywood.

Shots of Priv and JD all night long!

From THIS ---> To THIS:

Then for an after club remedy we tried Pink's Famous Hot Dogs. Them doggies crack fa sho. Have one these and you are guaranteed for no hangover.

"Life in LA is sooooo insane" Day 1 SUCCESSFUL

the J-O-B

Sad happenings at work today...didn't think this would happen here. But economy is definitely in a rutt and things need to be done to keep business going. I'm praying that I'm still in good hands.

Life in LA - Arrival

I've accumulated enough flights to get a free flight and free drink coupons. So basically I only paid $5 for security fees for a trip to LA. NICE!! I was generous enough to share my coupons with the BF, so we got our drankitty-drank on a 45 min flight for the first time.

and for your viewing pleasure...a snippet of being faded on the plane

Arrived at LAX and didn't have to wait long to reunite with our BF, Lyss. Yayyy! We were
hun-gary...so Lyss attempted to take us to a popular Korean spot, unfortunately the restaurant needs one full day off and coincidentally it had to be Thursday. ToFu YA, I will try you soon. But we ended up checking out this boutique type store called Black Market right next to it. MJ noticed a familiar face...it ended up being Fresh Chuck Daily (he produced some beats for UC group BMB). Pretty cool!

We ended up at Wharo's Restaurant for our second take on Korean food, btw - my first time ever trying Korean food...so I was super excited. Our server even gave me extra side dishes for myself. Too bad I wasn't too impressed with my first Korean food experience. But the kimchee soup is my new fave, yum! ToFu Ya probably would've satisfied my excitement :(

Then we headed back to Lyss' place and had ourselves a photo session. Called it a night by 12am because we knew the next few days were going to be intense!

LA Withdrawls

I am still on vacation mode. I've been feeling so out of funk since I got back. Waking up the past few days has been tough and needing a coffee every morning to prevent me from dozing off in front my computer at work is rare for me. Haven't had time to catch up with my own life is stressful in itself. Can't find time to blog thus I'm doing it now while I still try to maintain my daily workout routine during my lunch break. There truly is not enough time in a day to accomplish a TO DO LIST. Still haven't unpacked or uploaded LA photos. The lack of sleep from my 5 day hiatus is kicking me in the butt! It's always hard to get back to reality after a well deserved trip. What's next to look forward to?? Possible trip to Vegas next month?

Stay tuned for a recap of "LIFE IN LA" posts.

Back to my workout!

Why Oh WHY?!

"No, baby, why would you do that?" That's the exact words I would say to him when I see him tonight. hahaha.

Shits serious. He's outgrown the tats and opted for laser removal. Let's hope he's setting up a blank canvas for something newer?

"bye bye lovely art!"as long as he doesn't get rid of the one on his neck, then we're good. "baby you could have whatever you like" just don't touch that one on yo neck.

or let me get my tat on my neck and we can call it a truce...I just need inspiration and looking at his makes me want to get mine even more. of what...that I don't know yet. hahaha. Maybe an ice cream to show my love for Pharrell...

BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T...love P.W. even though he's taken by me (lemme just get a hold of a scanner and show you bitches, he's my BabyDaddy)

Blah

Work has actually been consuming my days this week thus the lack of at least one post a day. Sometimes I don't even get to check my Myspace or Facebook until after lunch. Which I feel is a good thing, I hate social networking sites...you log on just to check if you have any updates/comments and next thing you know 1/2 an hour passes by. WTF? Tell me you feel me on that. Again, I digress, sorry.


I am so excited for my 5 day LA trip. Longest LA visit I've taken since I was little. Last night I started packing and started getting stressed out. I think the worst part about vacations is packing. I always tell myself "ok, don't overpack, because you'll need room in your luggage to bring back all your shopping finds." But nope, I always end up packing last minute resulting in an overpacked f*in luggage. hahaha.

Let's see if I've accomplished anything from my TO DO LIST BEFORE I HIT UP LA (from my previous post)...
