Night Two

With only three hours of sleep, I was wide awake by 7AM. I was dehydrated and was still feeling heated in the head, so I just laid in bed playing on my Itouch. As the day progressed, I was having negative thoughts on how my stomach was going to react that night.

Night Two:
This night was long awaited because of the three man pact that was made during Ashraf's birthday. Glenn, Lawrence, and I did a three-way double pinky swear (intense), promising that we will get completely trashed on my birthday. I was getting nervous, and it was 8PM already. Lawrence picked me up and went to Brian's house. There, we pregamed a little bit with Four Lokos as they watched me open the gifts.

We left for the Krazy Drum at 9PM, and there we met up with some familiar faces. We ended up with a group of 15, so Alexis and Edwin tried their best to get us the best tables and accommodations, and they did a great job. I told those two to order what they think was the best and they came back with two trays full of liquor, wine, beer, coke, and sprite. It was intimidating, but we destroyed it in a matter of an hour. Old faces that I haven't seen in quite some time made surprising visits as well as new friends. Alexis was thoughtful enough to burn a cd for the bar to play, just so we wouldn't be stuck with Korean music for the whole night, haha. As for what I can remember, I believe almost everyone was drinking, it was a beautiful site to see, lol.


At about midnight, it was time to return back to Brian's house for more drinking. Only a handful were able to make it to that, which was expected and understandable. This is where the Sausage Mozzarella that I boxed to go yesterday came into play. Jen, Jocelyn, Megan, and I devoured it. After smashing our faces with food, it was time to get more alcohol. Amy sacrificed a lot for driving, so it was time for her to catch up, haha. Megan, Amy and I went to 7-11 and got more beer and Four Lokos.
We returned with smiling faces awaiting, and we proceeded to play board games. First was Apples to Apples, a game that is very witty and insightful, things that drunk people lack, lmao. After attempting several rounds, we realized we weren't making any progress, so we proceeded to Who? What? Where?. Imagine Pictionary on steroids, a game where if you can't draw, you are going to look like a fool. We all couldn't stop laughing on several drawings and guesses, it helped the alcohol digest in my system. At about 4AM, Ashraf, Jocelyn, and Jen bid their farewells and drove home safely. Lawrence, Amy, Megan and I spent the night at Brians.

Woken up to "what the fuck just happened?" by Lawrence, it was 10:30AM. After the five of us shared stories of what happened last night and taking a group photo, Lawrence and I left and he dropped me off.

I would just like to conclude that this has been a very memorable birthday for me. This year hasn't been that great of a year, but this is a damn great way to end it. For all the bills and tabs that were paid for the past two days, I thank you all for chipping in more than you had to. Thanks for the drivers, thanks for showing up, thanks for the pictures, and thanks for a good time. Splitting it up into two nights was a good idea.

Donkey Boner!!! I am now 23 years young.

Until next time.

Night One

My goodness, I don't have the slightest clue where to start with this entry. It makes sense to just start from the beginning.

My birthday was celebrated in two separate nights, two separate locations, with two separate group of friends.

Night One:
The night was started off with dinner at Roman Cucina with my high school and college family. The place was decoratively pleasing and the Martinis were cheap :). I barely touched my Sausage Mozzarella due to the precautionary measures of the amount of alcohol I was to intake soon after. I boxed that dinner to go, and that idea surely paid off later haha. We left dinner and proceeded to walk to Palapas Grill Bar down the street. There we met with more friends and drinking ensued. We played a game called Cheers 21 if I remembered correctly. It involves counting numbers with new hilarious rules after each round.


As the party of ten were playing, my ex co-workers from Chicks/Dicks Sporting Goods arrived. After a few more drinks, we decided to move to a new bar. We all decided to head down to Heroes, a five minute walk at most. This place was much bigger, and much more lighted up. This is where I was teasing my limit with keeping the alcohol in my stomach, as Lawrence handed me my second free birthday shot of the day from the bartenders. Peanuts were thrown and drinks were spilled, I was slowly becoming a mess.
At about 1am, Courtney and the group was preparing to leave and I was planning on going with them, but my co-workers convinced me to stay and go get food. They proposed the idea of Moca Salsa, so I decided to stay as one of them promised to drive me home. So I parted ways with my friends and left for the munchies and more drunken mishaps.

There were about 6 of us, and I was happy to still be able to see them due to the fact that I quit nearly 5 months ago. Melissa and I shared a Carne Asada Burrito and we massacred it, along with Josh's fries. After sharing laughs over random quotes and antics, it was time to head home. Josh was nice enough to drive me home, and we had a good talk in the car ride. I got home at about 3 I think, and I knew I needed to rest and recover for
Night Two.



Drinking Index:
  • Espresso Martini
  • Cactus Cooler Shots (x2)
  • Miller Lite Beer
  • Jager Bombs (x2)
  • Patron Shot
  • Southern Comfort with Lime
  • Half of a pint left of whatever beer Marty was drinking.

Oh, what a day.

Tears and joy all in one day.

What a day, what a day, what a day.

Life and love have all come my way.

Oh what a day, what a day,

What a day.


The past two days have been lovely and memorable. I am grateful for all the gifts and drinks that were bestowed upon me. Thank you all very much, I'll have a more detailed post with pictures later.

Nice Timing

Some people like to choose this time of year to ignore me. I find it very odd, but it's getting very repetitive and annoying. They've apologized before, but here they are doing it again.
