...My 21st...
I never expected anything much for my 21st birthday and I guess that's always the best way to go! I ended up having one of the BEST BIRTHDAYS of my life and certainly one to go down my list!
The morning consisted of doing errands w/ mother and pampering myself afterwards by getting a pedicure and a manicure. I rested for about 30 mins. when I got home and I headed to Jing's to get ready for dinner w/ some of my friends.
Originally, dinner was suppose to be held in Gaslamp Strip Club (Steak Place), but not everyone was 21 so we had to abort that reservation even if the place looked really cool and classy! I didn't want to cancel the dinner since everyone was already coming down and I wanted to celebrate my birthday with everyone. So, what do we do? We walked next door to Dick's Last Resort and automatically got a table for the ~24 of us. It wasn't as nice and classy as GSC, but having great company was all that I needed!
I want to thank everyone who came by the way and I also want to thank the people who greeted me through the phone, texts, e-mails, Myspace, Friendster(yes I still go there! hah!), and air mail.
So at DLR, I took my first 21st shot w/ Jing w/ Yager(sp?) (Thank you Jing!) I chugged it down and started taking pictures w/ everyone. Bad idea to walk around taking pics w/ everyone when you just took a shot w/o anything much in your stomach! So, I got buzzed! Then before dinner came, our waitress gave me a small bottle of 20/20 or something and everyone cheered me on to chug that one down as well! hahah! Then that totally got me! Ate dinner, but didn't finish it! I was basically buzzed then became drunk! What comes next?! Puking! YES! I did and Thank you Chas for being there to help me out! Now I kinda know how bulimics feel like! Let's leave it at that!
After dinner, I felt so much better after that relief! Then the posse girls hit up GSC to get a drink there, but the bar was packed so we left. The rest of the girls: Tep, Ren, Joy D, Che, Mahrs, Mae, Jen, and Mars walked w/ us to look for a bar to hit up. The girls went to stores and the posse gals and I hit up a place called Lime. That wasn't really poppin, so we hit up Fridays, w/c was the original destination and so everyone can go. But in the end, Joy D, Marhs, Che, and Mae met up w/ us there and we had some good drinks there! Thank you Kristin for the drink!! I kept going in and out of the lady's room to get all the water I kept drinking from DLR since I was told to drink a lot of it! hahah!
While we were at Fridays, Kristin totally met a guy that gave us VIP passes to go to Martini Ranch. It wasn't poppin yet, but we just had fun anyways dancing w/ the bachelor who was having his bachelor party there! haha! And what a co-incidence, the stamp they were stamping on everyone said Olive on it! I guess it was really meant for me to have my 21st celebrated downtown! I also had a free shot there from the bartender who gave us the VIP passes!
After some minutes there, Jlee's brother called her and hooked us up w/ VIP passes again to a club called The Rox! It was sOoo much fun there! A lot Asians, but what do you expect right?! But I like the environment! I got the nerve to drag the guy Jing was eyeing to her and I'm glad she had fun! And I made my goal of dancing w/ a guy I was eyeing! And it so happen that I've seen the same guy at D&B and Rose and I was totally eyeing him then! hahah! So I did and goal accomplished!
What a 21st birthday! I did it all in one night! Get buzzed, drunk, puke, bar hop, dance w/ random guys, and certainly dance w/ some of my girls!!! I LOVE THEM! Special thanks to Kristin and Jing for dinner or whoever paid for my dinner cause I was too busy puking! And my drinks! and taking me there I Love You Ladies!! Chas for helping me in the bathroom and Jlee. Eliza, Joy D, Marhs, Che, and Mabell for coming at the clubs with us!! For the presents, Jen for the poster! Jan and kathy for the Hypnotiq, Eliza for the card and pic frame, Jing for the journal and earrings, Kristin for the books and shot glass, and lasty for everyone who came and remembered my birthday because all I really wanted was a simple greeting and your presence! Thank you all from the bottom of my little heart!
