Beastin'

I am not quite sure what has come over me and what is in me but I think it is a good thing (well and a bad thing too). I realized it in Vegas when I was the only one that didn’t yack or have major hangovers where I had to stay in the room the next day recovering as if they were the ones getting whooped by PacMan. My tolerance for alcohol is surprising me. Not sure if it’s a myth but even mixing darks and lights doesn’t even make me upchuck. On my birthday, I was jinxing myself saying “alright, tonight’s the night, you better hold my hair.” I had a grandtastical time double fistin’, accepting drinks from whoever offered me a birthday drink, and wom bam pow! I DID NOT THROW UP! Nor did I wake up the next morning with a hangover, maybe a slight one, but after I showered and had my normal hangover remedy of flank steak and beef ball pho I was back to the right state of mind. I don’t want to test my limits too much because I know that feeling of yackin’ and waking up the next day telling yourself “I’m never doing that again. That’s the last time I do that for a long time!” On top of that you lose a whole day whining about a bangin’ headache, a face full of pimples that wasn’t there the night before, and feeling unpretty, oh and an empty wallet. Trust me tho, I’m not perfect. I’ve had my days of releasing all that nastiness through mouth and butt at the same time. Oh Lord, help me! LOL. Times where I would fall asleep in my car with my hair all out of whack and a missing earring. Times where my friends would have to carry me into my house and in my bed while they laugh and cater to my unruly dryheaving. I wonder if it’s all a mental thing too, like I know I hate yackin’ so I will avoid it as much as I can. I don’t like the act of inducing a suka session by sticking my finger down my throat, yah I rather not. My guy best friend tho is my yackin’ mentor. He will be my coach and make gaggin’ noises to make me yack all while holding my hair and laughing. Love him for that.

Watch, this blog is a JINX! Greeeeeeeeatttttttt! Get the garbage and hair tie ready… it better be from a fuckin’ good ass night from drunk debauchery. And I know it's fun and amusing but please refrain from any photo evidence please! BOTTOMS UP!

a CHALLENGING gift

Imagine giving one of these to your friend's for their birthday. They have to work for their gift, haaha. Until they get frustrated and take a hammer to it. But that's no fun...

Life in LA - Day 4 - Last Day

Check out me and MJ's new tats! She is the 'ying' to my 'yang'.

SIKE! hahaa, we didn't end up getting tats. But we did laugh about it as we passed a tattoo shop.

Anyways, our last day in LA. We're pretty much worn out but still try to make the best of our last day. Since we weren't sure if we checked out all the shops on Melrose the day before, that was our destination for today. So we called up Habib to pick us up in his taxi and take us to Melrose x Fairfax.

The NOT eating before going out has already become an LA habit. So our shopping experience today was such a drag, until we regained energy at 8 oz. Burger Bar. Not picture worthy because it wasn't that great. And P.S. our server had her tramp stamp exposed which I thought was very unprofessional. UGH!

Last photo in LA...

Well technically this is our last picture at LAX. So sad to go back to REALity. Boooooooooooooooo.

Thanks Lyss for the "Life in LA" experience. 43. We'll be back to do it even more LIVE!

"Life in LA is soooo insane" DAY 3 SUCCESSFUL & tired

Life in LA - Day 3

Ok, 2 more LA post to go...haha. Getting bored yet?

Sunday = Funday...a relaxing day to just chill and shop till we drop. Bad planning though. Woke up late and headed to Melrose Ave to shop. Keep in mind it's a bout 2pm and we haven't eaten yet. Then I realize, daym it's Sunday and shops usually close earlier on Sundays. FUCK! Oh well, we make our way to Melrose and don't even know where to start. We're freakin' hungry but don't want to miss all shops before they close, so we shop until we find a decent spot to eat at. NO FOOD=NO ENERGY to shop = NO BUENO.

It was my first time shopping on Melrose, so I pretty much went into every store that looked appealing to me. I bought way more than I should have. Ended up with like 5 dresses that I can't even wear until weather permits. Along the way, we saw these...

"Where the Wild Things" mural...pretty dope!

DIMEPIECE window installment for their S/S 09 collection - Plastic City at the Joyrich Store

OK, we pretty much waited till we got to the end of the strip to eat and ended up at Vienna Cafe. Food took forever to come out, or maybe it was just because we were that fuckin' hungry. Definitely worth the wait though. YUM-O.

Shops were closing and it was time to head out to meet MJ's fam for some Cuban cuisine. We ate at Versailles Cafe. Servers were all really nice and gave us recommendations on what to try. We had Yuca Frita (YUCK), roasted garlic chicken and some shredded beef dish that resembled calderata if your filipino, then you know what I mean. Still not really sure how to describe Cuban food. It's like filipino food and mexican food put together I guess.

Ahhh, the night is not over yet (and this post is getting too long) so basically we went out for one last hoo-rah at Opera/Crimson in Hollywood. Crimson was the most chill and had the best type of music out of the 3 we went to. BEST MUSIC I must repeat, yes it was that good. Better people too! hahahaa. This place cracks for a Sunday night.

MJ and I were so buzzed we had a convo about getting tats on our wrist the next day. It was the funniest shit ever. We were so juiced and so down...so check out my next LA blog to find out if we did or not. There was more debauchery later that night at the apt...till like 5am. Good times, good times.

"Life in LA is soooo INSANE" Day 3 - SUCCESSFUL

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 - 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

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)...

Chasing Boys

The Buff and I were on a high speed chase with these 3 motorcycles on Milpitas side streets. Shit was pretty fun! We were trying to figure out if they were cute by looking at their shoes, what...we can't see their faces under those helmets, so shoes is the next thing to look at. haha. Seriously felt like we were 16 again trying to holla at some boys. We were just having fun and knew we weren't going to ever see them again. So when we hit the stoplight we yelled out the window like boppers do and said..."HEYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" and they waved back. Daym, we shoulda hoped on the back of their bikes!

UPDATE* FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE. We are screaming like boppers!

"Let me see yo face babyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

and I tried Pinkberry for the first time today...pretty good.

I picked strawberries and let Jeremiah pick the 2nd topping, cocoa pebbles. Interesting combo.
