Jaden's 1st Birthday

I took Saturday off for little Jaden's 1st birthday party! Christine went all out with the Taco Man, tons of food, ice cream cake and Asian cake! I ate entirely too much food that day, so fatty! Muneeb is home for summer break. Victor, Jenny, Muneeb, and I had a really good time. We got Jaden a Ducati Race Set! I hope his big brother will help him play with it! The whole day was pretty mellow, it was nice to have a day off!

I worked Sunday and hung out with Shane and Shawn after work. It was a nice weekend of relaxation after a couple of busy ones this month. Hayley was in town as well! Victor, Taryn, Sarah, Kate and I all went out for Sushi last night for Hay's big 26th! Sarah brought Sprinkles! Yum. I have been eating a lot of cupcakes lately! :)

Vegas August 2008

Warren, Victor, Sarah, Diego, Hilly and I rented a ginormous van to drive out to Vegas together. We left a bit later than we originally planned so we got to Vegas around 9:00PM. Sarah, Diego, Victor, Dale, Dorthy, Kate and her guy stayed at Palms Place in a sick suite. Warren, Hilly and I stayed at the Mirage which they just remodeled so it was really nice. The beds rate just above Mandalay Bay and below the Westin's Heavenly bed. I am the princess and the pea! :)

After getting ready pretty quickly we headed over to Sarah's suite to drink before we headed to the Playboy Club and Moon. Victor's friend Rachel grabbed my hand and kidnapped me and Hilly jumped into the line we were in, so we were in the club a good half hour before the rest of the group got in. Her friend Eddie gave us a tour of the Playboy Club before we headed up to Moon. We saw Bridgette from The Girls Next Door! She is so damn skinny. Moon was a good time, we all drank, danced our asses off and wondered around. We got back to the Mirage at about 5AM Saturday morning. We ended up ordering room service, Hilly ordered eggs Benedict...gross, it was so disgusting. I was about to be asleep when it arrive. The boys could not shut up so we didn't go to sleep till 7AM.

Saturday we went to the pool at the Palms with everyone else! Their pool is really nice, I like being able to chill in 6 inches of water. It was HOT! The pool closed early because Playboy was having their Mid Summers Night Dream Party. We headed back to the Mirage to take a nap before Tryst. Tryst was a bit of an annoyance getting in. We waited in line for 2 hours and we were all over it when we finally got in! Victor met a girl and we took over the guys table next to hers table. I was so happy to find a bed to lay on after standing for 2 hours in heals. No bueno. The guys were really nice and let us hang out in their spot. I love being a girl in Vegas! We left Tryst at 3AM and got chicken fingers at the 24 cafe at the Wynn. I got Hilly hooked on chicken fingers late at night, and Warren got him hooked on Asian girls.

Sunday, Hilly left for LA then England at 11AM. Warren, Sarah, Diego, Victor and I ate at CPK in the Mirage (the first time they came to our hotel) for lunch. I lost $80 at blackjack and craps. We walked across the street so Warren could bet on the Angels to win the World Series and came back. I don't really know they got me outside. SO HOT! We left for home about 4PM and got home at 9:30.

Going to Vegas again tomorrow, but this time with Victor, Warren, Sarah, Diego, Hilly, Kate, Dale, and Dorthy. Hmmm... I wonder how it will be without my partner in crime Jenny? I can't remember the last time I didn't go to Vegas with her. Jenny you can still drive out Saturday!!! I can't wait to relax this weekend. We are staying at the Mirage...tigers! :)

Hip vs. Hipster Pant

Ok my male friends, tune out now. Before I started working at lululemon I loved lululemon. I got my first pair of lulu pants before I started working there. I thought they would always carry the Hip Pant. I was sadly mistaken. lulu hasn't carried the Hip Pant since. Ladies can you understand the disappointment and depression? They were a perfect super low rise waist and flare leg with side seams.

So, a couple weeks ago the fall line came out and I saw there was a Hipster Pant!!!! I was sooooo excited! They came in today...disappointment and depression. There are front seams and piping along the seam...I don't get it. Terrible.

I will never give up hope the Hip Pant will live again.

Shawn & Shane's Wedding 8-3-08

The wedding weekend started with Shawn, Jenny, and I getting our nails done! Then it was off the Westin Hotel in Costa Mesa where we stayed. The rehearsal dinner was on Saturday night after Shawn made me go to the gym with her and run at midnight! We got up super early at 6am Sunday morning because Shawn couldn't sleep...I don't know why those Heavenly beds are AMAZING. We stuck to Shawn's strict time line the whole day and everything went really well. First we went to Salon Gregory to get her hair done, then we went to Gelson's to get a snack, then back to Shawn's house for me to get ready and relaxing for the bride. We arrive at Park Prive at 3PM after another trip to the market and Sephora for some perfume. There the bridal party all got ready, Shawn got her makeup done and we were ready to get her hitched!

The wedding ceremony started at 6PM, it was a beautiful wedding, it was so much fun being the Maid of Honor too! I tried to help her with everything and I was a good lip gloss applier! The dinner was so yummy! We had Sea Bass and Fillet Mignon over mash potatoes with asparagus on the side! I had 2 pieces of cakes too! I have a separate stomach for cake and sugar! Here's some pics...more on Myspace and Facebook!

The Happy couple! Shawn and Shane! So cute!

Hello People

I've been working nonstop, i feel like I haven't had a real minute to breathe. Work was fun last weekend at the US OPEN of SURF. lululemon offered free 20 minute yoga classes in our booth. if you did the class then you got a free Supernatural Yoga Mat which retails for $54.00. Not to shabby. There were a ton of people down at the beach that day, it was craziness.

Work at PC Realm has been a little crappy, the air condition was broken all week. WTF. Our landlord has no sense of urgency unless he is affected. The place is ghetto enough without it being sweaty. On the bright side I got to leave a noon yesterday! I was so stoked. I have no had a day off in almost 2 weeks. I actually went home and caught up on some much needed sleep. After I headed to Jenny's house, her parents have been away and she makes me dinner! Last night was Pad Thai, it was yummy!

So tomorrow starts the mayhem of Shiang-Eu's wedding, I'm really excited, but I know its going to be a lot of work too. I just got the timed itinerary! I get to stay at the Westin (the Westin heavenly beds are the best hotel bed ever!) I still have to work on the toast I'm giving too. Did you know the number one fear of people is public speaking? I totally get it.

Warren Turns Twenty-Six

So Mama Leu went to San Francisco last weekend...so I threw Warren a party for his 26th birthday on Saturday night. It was really fun! Jenny made the best gingerbread cookies in the world, I made peanut butter cupcakes from scratch and Sarah made croissant pudding! Warren was more than satisfied with the sweets...he is still eating them. We had a pretty good turn out, usual Uni crew, Warren's peeps, and lounge 164 crew. I have no pictures because my mom took my camera to SF for the wedding. Oh well, give me pics you guys have any!

When I saw my mom she said (In Chinese) "did you have a party?" I said, "Yes." She said "Were the neighbors pissed?" I said "No." End of conversation.

Warren's real birthday was Monday night, Jenny, Warren, Taryn, and I head to Kitsch Bar for a few drinks to celebrate! I heart Kitsch! <3 We were all pretty tired so we headed home early after getting some food.
