My default poseOnRepeat: Deal – Turn Ya Out
CurrentlyCraving: Summer Time. 3 weeks and counting til I can chill w/ family & friends again.
TheMessage: The ONLY people you need in your life are the ones that prove that they need you in theirs. Thank God that I have true homies & family that genuinely love me. THANK YOU for a wonderful unforgettable 21st birthday week.
5.19.Tuesday Every single day last week, I pulled 6am VDC study sessions to get all my homework, papers, journals, and studying for my 5.21 Thursday Midterm out of the way so I could just chill/relax and have fun during my 21st birthday week. Tuesday after class [11am-5pm] I finished choreographing for my Groove Community Class at the ARC [surprisingly only took 1 hour because I was really feeling the song. Thanks again eric for letting me choreograph to it]. Genie rolled through and I taught her so that she could be my helper.
Flier for Groove Community ClassAfterwards, we met up with Sam and we went to TGI’s in Costa Mesa [Btw, I miss the days when CG used to roll through here after practice] for food and to countdown til my 21st birthday. I ordered my first drink [mudslide] LEGALLY, which was a little weird [I was worried they would deny me because my ID and my current self look nothing alike] and opened genie’s lookin’ ass tiffany’s present.
Genie’s lookin’ ass presentOnce Midnight hit, CG & BMOD + Lumagui Fambam raped my facebook, blew up my phone with birthday texts, singing/non-singing birthday phone calls/voice mails, and sent me e-cards/emails and birthday cards. I love those betches so much. YAY I’m finally 21! <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.web4men.eu/image_story/296/296.jpg">
TGI’sAfterwards, Genie went home to LBC and I kicked rocks with Sam [btw, I love that we could kick rocks anywhere, the time will pass by so fast, we can talk about anything & everything, and still have fun].
5.20.Wednesday I woke up to eat lunch with my family at Tokyo Table in Irvine Diamond Jamboree Plaza. It was good times with good food, people, and atmosphere. My parents bought me a new Black Sony Cybershot for my birthday [I always wanted a camera so YAY!] and provided the Palazzo Hotel Suite this weekend from Fri-Mon.
Tokyo Table
Afterwards, Sam picked me up and took me to San Diego. We dropped by his house and I met his parents [which I was hella nervous about meeting, but they ended up being really nice]. Then we went to La Jolla Beach. Mang was it beautiful & chill/relaxing. I wish there was a closer place like that around the OC, if there was I’d be there every effin time I was stressed or just be there just cz. When I got hungry, he brought out Filipino Spagetti which he cooked and was yummy [in replacement of Pansit for traditional Filipino “long-life birthday” sake]. Then we drove back to OC, he dropped my off at practice.
La Jolla Beach
We practiced at the hot rooms that night and I was greeted with many Birthday wishes & hugs. We casted for intro and learned the poppin piece. After getting kicked out of the hot rooms at 11am, we caravanned over to our home at Mesa Structure 3rd floor. Lil Jeffrey [my fellow director/team captain] pulled me aside to discuss a possible performance after Body Rock. After talking business our founders, Tommy & Kirk tell everyone to circle up because they have an announcement. Out of nowhere they start singing happy birthday to me & traceface busts out a delicious lookin’ ass chocolate cake. Me & Matt make a wish & blow out the candles. After cutting the cake, serving it to CG, and as we were about to start blocking for intro, BMOD’s lookin’ ass [texas, Robbie, karl, Anthony, jean, Hannah, etc.] comes down from the 4th floor with balloons, signs, & silk chocolate milk singing Happy Birthday to me. We took pictures, ate cake, I laughed at the fact that Jean bought me chocolate silk =D and we finished blocking Intro.
To be honest, I was worried that my birthday wouldn’t be that great because I had CG practice. But I realized I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. CG & BMOD how I love you guys. You truly are my effing family. Thank You for that wonderful Birthday greeting and visiting me at practice.
Vista Del Campo Community Center
Afterwards I VDC study sesh’d it for an hour [I have a midterm the next morning], went back to my apartment and knocked out.
5.21.Thursday Psychology of Violence midterm that I didn’t really study for ended up going pretty well, 50/60. Not bad. Our professor e-mailed us saying that everyone pretty much failed the midterm and therefore she is opening up an extra credit quiz worth 7 points [class is point based out of 300 so every point counts, no curves, no room for error, and no bullshit]. I took that quiz within 45 mins and now my midterm score is 56/60. so YAY!
Dave & Busters Irvine Spectrum
After packing for vegas, I took a nap at home. Then I got ready for DNBz and met up with Genie & Robbie lookin’ ass. I didn’t want to get smashed in Vegas because I wanted to remember my birthday weekend, so I told everyone that they could get me smashed at DNBz. All day, I’ve been getting calls & texts from everyone saying they’re going to be there, by me drinks, and party with me. I even got advice from Big B [Brian our founder] on how to not be so hung over and hang since he knows hella ppl were gonna get me drunk [thanks for the tip, I did it and it worked pretty well]. Once 9pm hit, we left for DNBz at Irvine Spectrum to eat, drink, and party my 21st away. Kuya & Grandpa [Kirk & Tommy our founders] met us there to get the “younginz” hehehe in. We got a table for 20 which quickly filled up with BMOD, CG, and Newsong [church] people. Hella people came out which really made me happy. Hella appreciated it. CADC was also there celebrating Jungle’s birthday. CG came through [Rob, Jena, Leo, Loretta, Johnny, Drew, Kayla, Matt, Paul, 3 Founders, Genie, April, Mylien, and Angela]. BMOD came through from Pomona after Jasmine’s workshop [Robbie, Paul & his homie, Anthony, Karl, Eric, Texas, Jean, Neil, Jasmine, and KJ]. A couple friends from high school [CAMS], Newsong [church], and home home [LBC] came to visit too [Pete, Eric, Wade]. I had a lot of fun. Let’s just say after 9 shots [2 patron, 2 151, the rest I don’t even know], 3 mixed drinks [1 Tokyo Tea from Angela, 1 stoplight from Johnny, and I don’t even remember the 3rd one], I was “I LOVE EVERYONE” drunk. Thank You all for coming out, stopping by, eating, drinking, and playing games with me. I really love you guys and had a lot of fun. I felt so loved LOL.
Genie & Sam took me home. I woke up at 7am with a mad hangover, dehydrated with my head and body aching. Thanks Sam for taking care of me. He’s so effing good to me. After going back to sleep, I woke up refreshed without a hangover ready to get the day started. VEGAS HERE WE COME!
5.22.Friday VEGAS. I effing love Vegas. My family has always been a bunch of gamblers and I learned to love this city at a very young age. I love the high end luxurious lifestyle. I love the city that never sleeps, the gambling, the buffets, the lights, the atmosphere, etc. I was hella excited and stoked. I love the Palazzo Hotel, it’s such a beautiful high end 5 diamond hotel and luckily we have 2 suites reserved there for the whole weekend. We were supposed to leave by 11am. But because of my drunken condition, we didn’t leave til 1pm. I was praying we didn’t hit traffic. I know this weekend will be crazy because it’s Memorial Day Weekend. Genie & I stopped by McDonalds and grubbed then drove 5 hours to Vegas stopping by Barstow & Primm Valley to gas up and eat.

I love Genie btw. She’s freaking awesome and one REAL down ass homegirl [good conversations & times in the car]. We got to the Palazzo Hotel, met up with my fam bam [Mom, Dad, Kuya Kj, his SL homies Nick & John, my Tita Reccie & Uncle Ben], set up shop in our hotel suite 30-722 [which my parents nicely furnished with drinks & food/snacks], and unpacked/enjoyed the view. We ran into KM people who happened to be staying at the Palazzo Hotel on the same floor and talked/chilled with them a little during the weekend. During the meantime, I kept checking status on the 3 other CG cars [Sam&Loretta, Kim&Jeff+Clarence&Melissa&Jake, and Johnny&Drew]. **Btw I parked in the same effing spot in P1 the whole weekend it was freaking awesome. It might have well read “kimmiko’s parking space”**

I had a whole itinerary for this Vegas weekend, but knowing that there was hella people in Vegas, I think it had to be thrown out the door. Thanks to Pete, I was on the VIP guestlist [Me+my friends for free] for 5 clubs: Xs, Tao, Prive, Jet, and Tryst. However, the 3 cars were estimated to get here around 2am-4am, so I didn’t go clubbing. Instead, Genie & I went to get dinner at Grand Lux Café downstairs where we ordered some DANK ass food and took pictures with my lovely NEW camera.

After eating dinner, my fat kid mentality ass wanted something sweet so we grabbed Gelato at my favorite Gelato place in Vegas which happened to be located conveniently in the Palazzo Hotel: Espressamente Illy. Yay for Bacio gelato [orgasm in the mouth lol]. Then we gambled a little on the Palazzo Casino floor.

So Genie & I drive over to MGM to meet them up and kick rocks/gamble/chill. OTW, we took pictures of beautiful Las Vegas Boulevard. They passed us quite a few times, because apparently they “didn’t even recognize me” LOL. They bought me a yard of Strawberry Daquiry filled with RUM which I surprisingly downed in less than 10 minutes. Our objective was to ride the Roller Coaster at NYNY, but it was closed. So we gambled at NYNY & MGM. My drunk lookin’ ass won money and it was hella fun good times.

CG didn’t get there til 4am and after they changed and got ready we explored the Palazzo Hotel together, gambled, drank, ate, and chilled. After staying up til 6am we decided to get some sleep. Johnny & Drew however decided to pull an all-niter and went on drunken adventures walking the strip.

5.23.Saturday Johnny, Drew, Loretta, Genie & I went down to the 3rd floor to the Palazzo Pool. Johnny ordered me a very tasty Mango Colada which I downed in 1 minute because it was so freaking DANK, which I thought had no alcohol but apparently did have a lot. For only being in the pool for an hour, we emerged DARK! lol.

We woke everyone up to get ready to eat at the Wynn Buffet before my Groove Community Class. We walked over to the Wynn buffet, took pictures, and grabbed gelato on the way there. The buffet was amazing btw, usually its priced at $25-30, but since it was memorial day weekend it was $45. But man was the selection top notch [succulent crab legs, grade A meat, etc], everything was so delicious, especially the desserts [crepes, cheesecake, cookies, crème rule,]. 4 entrée plates + 2 dessert plates = euphoria.

Afterwards, Genie, Sam & I headed over to Studio 702 so that I could teach my Sheroes Class. After supporting Alexis [founder of sheroes], Lorence from UG Gen 1 called me and took my class. It was fun, I made friends with Mecamee, Formality LV, and Studio 702 people. I was nervous to teach my class, but I really loved the song and I could tell they loved to the piece so YAY! I got paid btw =D
Groove Community Class
After my class, we headed back to the Palazzo Hotel to get ready for the night. Friday was “dress to impress.” Saturday was “black & white w/ accent color.” We got ready and headed over to the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas [A pedestrian mall and light-show attraction in downtown Las Vegas.] We also met up with Lorence from UG GEN 1, and Byron from BMOD. At Fremont we met up with some Formality LV boys [Greg, etc]. We watched the light-show attraction, gambled a little at the cheap tables, bought cheap drinks & yards [blue Hawaiian, tornado, adios], and watched street graffiti artists. BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIL JEFFREY!

Afterwards, I wanted to head over to Bellagio Hotel to gamble, drink, and watch the fountains. However, miscommunication and the other cars went back to the Palazzo Hotel. Jake & Loretta decided to walk back to Palazzo Hotel. Me, Sam & my brother decided to kick rockz at the Bellagio and gamble. When we got back to the hotel, CG went to party and chill with KM and I knocked out.

CG had to leave by 2pm to get to practice on time. Me, Sam, Johnny & Drew were staying until Monday since my parents had the suite for me for the whole weekend.

After CG left, the four of us set off to Planet Hollywood for the Miracle Mile shops. I wanted to drive but Johnny & Drew convinced me to walk the strip, which was HOT and FAR, and got me DARKER but it was fun ahha. I wanted a PINKS hot dog so badly, to find out that they were relocating and not selling during the reconstruction process. Johnny & Drew had to catch dinner with Johnny’s family, so Sam & I walked around Miracle Mile shops and ate at Hawaiian Tropic Zone [it’s so funny how much we have in common, we ordered the exact same thing], ordered a yard of Eye Candy at Fat Tuesday, and ate Nestle Toll House Cookies.

Afterwards we started to walk back to the Palazzo Hotel stopping by Flamingo Casino to gamble where we made friends with the Security guard who gave us wristbands so we didn’t have to get carded and gambled/passed time there. We walked back to the Palazzo, took a nap, and went to the Bellagio to watch the fountains and wait for Johnny & Drew [whose dinner took 4 hours]. We set up at my favorite spot at the Bellagio to watch the fountains and took pictures. I love the fountains at the Bellagio, they’re my favorite. It’s so beautiful and relaxing. We shared our "first kiss" that night. I can't even put into words how it made me feel. I'll blogg about him another day. All in all, tt was such a great night, especially with Sam being there =D

Favorite Quote of the Night
Café Bellagio
Once we were back at the Palazzo, Johnny, Drew and I went down to gamble. During the weekend, whenever I played I always came up, but this time I played 2 bills off and lost ahaha. It was good times though. Johnny tapped out early and went upstairs to sleep while me & Drew played the night away. Man was that fun =D
5.25.Monday Checked out by 11am. Ate at the Grand Lux Café again for brunch. Dropped Drew & Johnny off at MGM. And headed back home to OC. BAD IDEA. MADD TRAFFIC Memorial Day Weekend. I guess everyone decided to leave early Monday. From Stateline to Vegas it’s a 45 minute drive, but because of the bumper to bumper, 5mph then stop—5mph then stop, and madd congestion of cars trying to get home to LA it took us 2 HOURS to get there. Getting gas at Primm took 2 hours. We decided to kick rocks and wait for nighttime to leave, the drive at night still took us 5 hours. We stopped at Primm and Barstow before getting home. On the ride back we listened to both our ipods, hella def jam comedy [dane cook, pablo francisco, dat phan, etc] Was hella tired and knocked out.
All in all, my birthday week was effing amazing. I will never forget it. I can’t wait til finals & hell week are over with. I really want to take this summer to enjoy life. Graduate from bartending school and be a bartender. Study year-round for the GMAT. Take a break from dancing and go back to VEGAS and gamble/club/enjoy life. I just want to relax and chill. More pictures & edits will come as the days go by. I’m kind of swamped with CG & Finals week for UCI.
Thank You for a wonderful 21st Birthday week.
I’m free in 2 weeks so let’s make some summer plans.
Hope you are all having better days.

From Stateline to Vegas it’s a 45 minute drive, but because of the bumper to bumper, 5mph then stop—5mph then stop, and madd congestion of cars trying to get home to LA it took us 2 HOURS to get there. Getting gas at Primm took 2 hours. We decided to kick rocks and wait for nighttime to leave, the drive at night still took us 5 hours. We stopped at Primm and Barstow before getting home. On the ride back we listened to both our ipods, hella def jam comedy [dane cook, pablo francisco, dat phan, etc] Was hella tired and knocked out.
All in all, my birthday week was effing amazing. I will never forget it. I can’t wait til finals & hell week are over with. I really want to take this summer to enjoy life. Graduate from bartending school and be a bartender. Study year-round for the GMAT. Take a break from dancing and go back to VEGAS and gamble/club/enjoy life. I just want to relax and chill. More pictures & edits will come as the days go by. I’m kind of swamped with CG & Finals week for UCI.
Thank You for a wonderful 21st Birthday week.
I’m free in 2 weeks so let’s make some summer plans.
Hope you are all having better days.
