All because of the company and circumstances. I loved every moment of it. Yah I spent way too much money (but none on gambling) but it was soooo worth it. I love my gals. :) These two are photos from our last night in Vegas @ the Bite show.
This evening was fun filled with friends seeing Robin Williams at the Showbox together. I didn't know how raunchy Robin Williams could get and it was down right hilarious. We just laughed for 2 hours straight... probably the funniest stand up comedy I've ever seen in my life. Afterwards, some of us went to get some light grub at Le Pichet and I had a Tour de Meat plate. Sooooo good and so salty - yummers. I met these two friends of D-man's and they are Canadians. I love Canadians - such friendly and happy go lucky, genuinely kind people. It was a really awesome night and it only took me like 7 minutes to drive home from downtown!!! I love my new life. :)
My work twin and I went out to Betty this evening for food and wine. It was a really fun time. She is my Work Twin because we are both of Asian decent, similar built, and people often get us confused.
She is so wonderful - we get along so great and talk about a lot of stuff. Honestly, she is like the very first Asian friend that I can talk openly with about sexual topics. Isn't that crazy? My other Asian friends are all very proper and I never felt comfortable to bring up that taboo subject.
I hope this friendship grows. She is super cool and also got out of a long term relationship last year. Although it seems like a lot of people that I've met recently have just gotten out of long term relationships. Nevertheless, she is super cute, fun, free spirited, optimistic, and open. I like that a lot about her.
Oh, and wine is my weakness this evening. I had 2 glasses, which is 1 glass to many. Now I'm super tipsy and need to just go to bed. I was gonna work this evening but right now? Yah, not so much...
zzzZZzzzz
Love you guys. Love me.
The mixer thing this evening was moved to the front area of the Parlor. The doorman wouldn't let anyone more in the place cuz they're at capacity. My friends and I showed up late so even though we were guests of this party, we weren't allowed to attend. Fucking ridiculous. I hate the Parlor even more now (here's the back story of why I hate it in the first place if you're actually interested).
Joined by GoDawgs, Oh Canada, Brazil, BassRock, Powerade and few others, we moved to Lucky Strike Lanes on the second floor, a new uppity bowling alley/restaurant/bar place. It was actually kinda pretty dang cool and I gave it a 4 star review on Yelp cuz that's how I roll.
I alone had 3 delicious apple martinis and one pepperoni pizza minus one slice (it's like a 10" pizza).
I didn't exercise yesterday or today so I'm feeling like I ate too much crap food.
I'm suppose to work this evening to get something that's due @ 9am in the morning done but I'm soooooo effing tired.
Unmotivated and low energy.
Meh.
No partying tomorrow night. I must workout cuz it actually makes the body aches go away and me eating crap foods without feeling like I'm destroying my health.
and I've managed to pick up myself up from the crying mess, showered, and look semi-decent to welcome my gal pals. I'm going to have fun, dammit.
I need to write an email to the freelance client to let them know what a fucked up mess I am (in a professional way of course) and that I cannot do work as promised. I feel like a failure.
Man, I am just a big pile of mess.
Just did my ab ripper workout and gonna hop in the shower to prep myself for my friend Proby's bday party at the Local Vine. I love wine. It's like where I save all my "bad" calories for. Local Vine is the only place you can buy wine from Two Hands Winery of Australia. My favorite wine Brave Face, a Syrah, is made by them. YUM.
My very first boyfriend in high school, the boy that actually "taught" me all about kissing is now my mortgage broker. What a small world. He found me on My Space over a year ago and now we're friend on Facebook too. He's happily married (3rd marriage) and have 2 kids, and expecting a 3rd with this new wife. Pretty cool.
I also found a friend who I hung out closely with in Jr. high and High school band classes on Facebook just within the last month. He and I used to have so much fun together back then. Now he's a world traveler and plays sax for a living. How cool is that?
OMG I am so effing drunk right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friend Powerade drove my car with me and Earth Child back from the kickass party w/ the view of the Space Needle in Seattle. It was my first time seeing the fireworks in Seattle on NY Eve. HOLY SHIT.
I was called a whore and a slut several times by my friend Velly Good Looking. Hahahhaha. If you knew him, you'd take it as a compliment. It just means I'm sexy as hell cuz I was doing my provocative sexy girl dance to the music.
The wine was AWESOME and so was the champagne. I met some really cool people too!!!
I got to kiss Velly Good Looking for the purpose of a photo opp but it doesn't count for NY eve cuz he doesn't play on my team. But still, it was a kiss. Haha.
I'm one digit older for my age. Whatever, I'm still cute and getting requests by hot men in their 20's and 30's, and 40's. Hahhahaha. I hold my own.
WELCOME 2008. It's only UPHILL FROM HERE.
OKEE <3 you guys. Seriously I do. :) Kisses. Sleep tight!
A friend of mine left the following quote on my Facebook wall this morning. It is perfect for today. I so needed to see it to help me gain enough bravery, strength and compassion to do what about to do in court today.
"The spiritual journey involves...stepping into unknown territory, continually moving forward. The most important aspect of being on the spiritual path may be to just keep moving. Usually, when we reach our limit...our bodies freeze and so do our minds. Rather than indulge or reject our experience, we can somehow let the energy of the emotion, the quality of what we're feeling pierce us to the heart. This is a noble way to live. It’s the path of compassion - the path of cultivating human bravery and kindheartedness."
(Pema Chodron)
The seed of all virtues is love. All beings need love and need to love. This isn't the end. This is a new beginning to an even greater adventure filled with true love for me and all those around me.
I love you guys and thank you so much for your encouraging words and support that you have given me. <3
Wow, this is like the first time ever, since I moved out in early October, been drinking much, and not crying my eyes out!
>>> Let's take a moment of silence and reflect on that statement. <<<
It is a tremendous moment really, since Alixito + alcohol = crying fucking mess
I had such a good time tonight hanging out with Velly Good Looking, Rock Vixen, Proby, plus a whole bunch of new people that I just met at this place called the Local Vine in Seattle (it's VGL and Proby's usual hangout spot). We just sat, enjoyed good food, fine wine and great conversations. Didn't go dancing as the invitation indicated but I relished the time spent connecting with people. :D It was super fun and hilarious, especially when Velly Good Looking started getting busy cock blocking dudes in order to protect me. He'd be like "[random guy's name], you are ugly. Stop talking to Alixito." Hahahaha. Good to have friends looking out for me when I'm tipsy.
But seriously. I feel GREAT. Probably the first time ever that I do not feel lonely for being single. YAYE :D I'm sure I'll still have ups and downs but this is a fabulous milestone to celebrate! Wahoo! I recognize that I love me and it's starting to find permanence in my heart... :)
