| Thursday, June 30th-Tuesday, July 5th: Las Vegas
Damn, that was a long time but was well worth it. Now that I
think about it, I'm missing it all...even w/ my sore throat (outcome of
lack of sleep and alcohol and just yelling too damn much). I'll
start out chronologically...
Thursday, June 30th: Arrive @Palms Hotel 7pm w/ Ann, Ces, John & Sherry
Sherry and I ate at Sunrise Cafe, John went gambling, Ces and Ann
ate Sushi (forgot the name of their restaurant). Ces won mad
money gambling the Wheel of Fortune slots. Then soon after,
headed back to our dope a$$ hotel room to prepare for our first night
clubbing:
01. Ghostbar: Can you say, "nice view". You can see the entire
strip from up there. Ces was first to get her mack on. John
was hooking the sista up. Here's the senario... This guy named
Doug approached John and asked him to introduce "those 4 Japanese
girls" (he straight thought we were Japanese) and so he did.
Ces noticed him from the beginning in the elevator
line. Then, my lesbian lover, Ann, and I headed to the bar
for some Grey Goose and Patron. Man, those shots were
equivalent to 3 shots. Anyway, we were later introduced to
Doug's 3 other friends who hung out w/ us at the bar. Bastards
didn't buy us drinks. They, also, wanted in on some action I
guess haha since Ces and Doug were talking FOREVER!!! Sorry guys,
can't do that with Ann there. Besides, Ann's hot! After 30
min or so, Ann and I were buzzing. Then John and Sherry
pushed us to head out to Rain downstairs.
02. Rain: Already f*cked up from Ghostbar, the 5 of
us headed straight to the dancefloor. I ended up dancing w/
some Aussie. He was pretty cool cuz he ranted and raved about how
great America was. Australians are so proper and respectful and thus, I
got to drink some more. One of his friends jocked Ann and told
her how beautiful she was ( I told you she was hot). John and
Sherry were our parents that night b/c they timed how long we were to
stay at each club. Our goal for the night was 4 clubs. 2 down, 2
to go. As we rounded everyone up, we found Ces and Ann talking to 2
guys. Being the drunka$$ that I was, I ended up punching one of
the guys that jocked Ces. Haha, gosh, I'm turning into Rome.
03. Mist@ TI or Treasure Island: went there just to get our
buy-one-get-one-free drink coupon. On the way to the last and 4th
club, John decided to gamble, so did I w/ a game of BlackJack.
Unfortunately, I lost my $40 there. I wasn't thinking esp. since
I was intoxicated. Did I say that I was drunk already? Don't
think so....
04. Tangerine: Sherry kept talking about this club so we had
to go. Jesus, this was the last destination of the night and was pretty
dope esp. b/c I was already gone. I don't know what happened, but
all I know is that I got to dance on the platform like a gogo dancer
(my second job haha). Too bad my high heels kept digging into my
cuffs (on my jeans) that I ended up tripping and falling off
stage. Luckily, my girls caught me. The bouncer thought I
was crazy. Ended up sleeping @6am.
Friday, July 1st: Check in @Paris Hotel, hung out @Wynn Hotel and the shopping center right across it
Delirious from only 2.5 hours of sleep, we walked in the extreme
heat for some "Dishes", the Treasure Island Hotel Buffet. Oh the
memories as we walked by the clubs the night before (or should I say
early that morning). Now that was some good grub. Good for
your stomach after 5 million drinks the night before. Next, was
Sherry's stop to the Paul Frank store (that shopper girl!).
Wynn Hotel was our next stop. Personally, I think it looks better
on the outside moreso than the inside. The outside is more sexy
and sleek like a hot car, but the inside just reminded me of a
collaboration of some elements from the Mirage, Bellagio, and some
other hotels. Well, Mr. Wynn does own them hotels too. Ces,
once again, spent her time working the Wheel of Fortune slots and won
big money. whoohoo. John did likewise.
Afternoon time came around and everything else was a blur...I think
Ann, John and I slept by the Paris Hotel Pool for a good hour.
Thus, totalling 3.5 hours of sleep for the day. yeah!
Abby's A$$ finally arrived from Salinas around 10:30pm. Then we
rushed to Club Pure. Already drunk from the bottle of Razmatazz
Bacardi in the room, we worked our game to the girls VIP line.
Abby's talking did all the work since there were 5 girls in front
of us and b/c we grouped w/ them, the bouncer was more than likely
going to let us in much earlier (we knew we were gonna get in, c'mon
now, we're girls and cute and so were the ones in front of us).
We didnt' even have to use our passport to get in. So, ann and Ces's
boys from Rain the night before ended up being at the club. Ota
and his boys were at the bar, and I even bumped into Jenelee, my
straight-teeth big-calfed-cross country running buddy from
highschool. We were both trippin' out. Didn't seen her for
a while. The rest was history and if anyone wants to know, I ended up
barfing@6 in the morning...the end. You can hear that story
later.
Saturday, July2nd: Fashion Show Mall, Red Hot Chili Peppers/Weezer Concert, Palms Bar
01. Fashion Show Mall: finally met up w/ the rest of the gang
(Alisa and her entourage Peter and Anthony, Karen, Rome, Chris Beltran
and his friend Lori, Josh. Basically Rome did all the
shopping while the rest of us just hung out on a bench for an
hour or so just kicking it. That's the best when you don't even
have to do anything but just sit there and have a good time w/ yer
buds.
02. Concert Prep @Embassy Suites Hotel: That's where they
stayed and so everyone going to the concert got wasted in more ways
than one. there was even free drinks and grub at the bar. Yes,
and finally, we headed to the concert!!!
03. UNLV Soccer Field for Red Hot and Weez Concert: T'was the
greatest and I died from respiratory problems b/c of me and the air
around me. Damn druggies in Las Vegas. Abby and I both
agreed this had the best fireworks show ever!!! Oh, and we even
met up w/ Ronnie and his Bosco gang. Can't really remember the
rest...I just remember saying, "UNITY" when I saw this dude w/ a "I'm
Rick James B_tch" shirt. He started cracking up man!
04. By the time we finally made it back to the strip, it was
midnight, but, shoot, we didn't care, we were still gonna go out.
Destination Drais didn't work esp. not for 40 buck (aww hell naw)
Waay too much cover to pay for an afterhours club. NOpe!
So, Ces was going to meet up w/ her man, Glen, @Palms and so all 10 or
so of us tagged along. By the time we all met up, it was already
4am, so we drank at the bar for days and ate steak and eggs.
Whatever happened, I slept for 3 hours again!!! So from the night
we got there on Thursday, until Sunday morning, I had only 10 hours of
sleep. I'm a trooper I tell ya. Partying is only second nature to
me.
Sunday, July 3rd: Caesar's Palace Mall, meet up w/ Anabelle for Body English
01. Met up w/ Ann and Abby. Everyone else was doing their own
thing that day. I really wanted to go to Rehab@Hard Rock, but I think
we were all pooped. Besides, I didn't get to RSVP our names on the
guestlist via Tanteah, our hookup girl. Eh, next time we'll
go. So, my delirious self went off to Guess and impulsively
purchased a $73 purse ($73 dollars is a lot to me, esp since I don't
buy sh*t anyway or try not to). We later met Ann's cousin's.
Karen was later dropped off by Rome and Josh since they were already
leaving for Cali (Rome had work the next day=sad face). Oh yeah,
John and Sherry left too. Poor John, he really wanted to stay and
gamble. He's addicted.
02. 4th night out @Body English this time w/ ther Sowoweetee girls
Anabelle and Emi and their friends and Rami. Their buddies were
pretty cool (Ray was one of the dudes I remembered from April when I
went for lil sis Tracy's bday. He hooked us up last time to Pure
and Rain b/c he knew Tany). Maria was Emi's friend who just moved
to Vegas; she inspires me to head out there ASAP. Praveen and Nikki
were there too who also attended UCI. What a small world. That's
all I got to say. I was happy once again b/c Nikki and I danced
on the platform, but homegirl kept dancing her butt on me. Jesus, what
a boo-tee dancer. She funny. I worked it so that the rest
of the chicks went off the stage. What was even better was
the fact that the music was bumpin' old school hip hop jams like
LL's "round the way girl" (my fav LL song). After alcoholic
Anabelle stopped drinking, we all headed to the parking lot, but mr.
Praveen busted out a breathalizer; Rami wasn't good to drive yet, so
he, Anabelle and I ate @Lucky 24-7 Diner. And for some weird
reason, after the meal, I barely started feeling the alcohol. How
weird...I guess it was a delayed reaction since my tolerance had
built up the past few nights. We finally arrived at
Anabelle's apt and all knocked out until 2:30pm. So I guess that
was 11 hours of sleep for me. That was more than the last 3
nights and I was still tired. Ate, then blackened by the
pool. I would like to make an announcement: "I got black!!!"
Yeah!!!!!
Monday, July 4th: Lake Las Vegas, Emergency Room, strip view
01. Like I said, I woke up @2:30pm, got black and we headed to Lake
Las Vegas resort to watch some fireworks. This place was Ritzy,
but it was cool. I made a friend and she was only 5yrs old.
Her name was Pamela from San Bernadino and she was w/ her Aunt and baby
cousin Sophia (Dette's future baby's name when she finally
pops!). Kids are amazing b/c I'm like one myself..I was just glad
I showed her the Big Dipper in the sky. Too bad she wore me out
damn kids making me tired.
02. Emergency Room, the BAR, not the hospital was a dope local
hangout w/ diverse people. Not everyone dressed the stereotypical
way one would if they attended a B-Boy competition. Everyone was
different and I liked it. Karen's friend (Lorenzo's sister)
Marnee brought us. She was orginally from Cali but lived in Vegas
for a year. I liked the fact that we didn't go to an "all-out"
club on the strip since we did the past 4 nights. Just one
hit and surprisingly only 1 drink later, I had a great buzz. My
system was cracked out.
03. Top of a Rocky area; view of the strip was our last and most
relaxing place to go in Vegas before leaving for Cali the next
day. It was the greatest. Marnee and I were trying to
figure out which hotel was which from the distance. I'm
all-knowing...plus the view was the best. Only if I had a really
good camera, I would have taken a shot of that and frame it on my
wall. By 3:30am, Karen and I arrived to Anabelle's apt, only to
wake up @7:30am for our flight which I did not even check b/c I was in
denial that I had to leave my second home.
Tuesday, July 5th: LV Airport-Ontario Airport, Irvine
Basically, my flight was for 8:25am and we left the apt at 8am. I
didn't really care. I tried standby for Karen's flight @9:15am,
but didn't make the cut, then waited for the 11:50am one and was 2nd to
last into making that one. Otherwise, I would have stayed until 2pm for
the next one. I finally arrived@Ontario at 1pm. Kris, Karen's
sister picked us up, visited Rica for a few then my house to pick up my
car to drive to Irvine for Karen's class. Pretty much knocked out the
rest of the day at their apt. until I drove back home. Next day
was work. Depressing knowing how much fun you've had the past 5
days w/ your closest friends in the world and meeting some more along
the way. Next time, Tennessee, you're coming! I love you girls
plus Josh and Chris and John!!! :0)
