here's the continuation:
- karaoke nite (new years eve) - jay's uncle was just AWESOME. he bought this awesome karaoke machine in philippines i thought it was THE BEST. it has the latest songs on it so i was already jumpin' for joy ^_^. his other aunt (auntie julie) kinda forced me to use the karaoke. =3 once i started using this karaoke, i got hooked, for the fact they had the latest songs on there. i literally went all out x3. jay's niece jenika even sang along side with me. i sang big girls don't cry (fergie) and of course, linkin park (what i've done). i was the happiest mo-fo that day for sure haha....
- new years day - we literally had to sleep in. with my hubby getting all shitfaced, i felt that it was best to just hang out at the strip and walk around. we told our friends that going to hoover dam wasn't an option, considering that if they wanted to get in, it was impossible since it was NEW YEARS DAY. this time, we had more company, since we let his nephew paul and jenika to ride home with us (us includes: me, hubby, kid, my bro, and our friends sonny & piya). we walked around the strip for about 8 hours (w/my 6yr old in tow, a feat in my opinion, to get her to walk that long was astounding) and when night fell all the night shows on the strip began. we saw the treasure island pirate show...which, as paul had put it, had been "sexified". there were the siren-like pirates (if you don't know what they are, please check out The Odyssey by Homer, although they weren't pirates) vs. the manly pirates. WTF, i remember when i was younger that there were no gyrations on one vessel...it was pirate vs. pirate fighting which i loved to see. i don't know man, it wasn't worth my time to tell you the truth. but the water shows on both the bellagio and the mirage were nice. we went back to his uncle's house...and the guys ultimately decided to go to the strip club. i for one didn't care if he went; i was pretty exhausted and wanted to lounge around at the house.
- day after new years - since the guys came home around 2:30-ish and probably didn't sleep until 3, waking any of these guys up was inappropriate. sonny on the other hand had an internal clock that would let him wake up at 6am regardless of what time he sleeps. he literally turns on the basement lights to wake up his wife (and quite possibly try to wake others D:< *grr*) but failed since she went back to sleep. he wanted to go out to hoover dam, and well, i don't think it was possible since the guys partied late so we didn't bother to go. we were gonna leave anyways, so we decided to just hang out for a moment, eat at one more buffet then leave vegas. the drive back was insane; the grandma and grandpa of our group was not listening to the gps directions as well as our directions and there were verbal fights happening in the other van. my hubby said to fuck it, he doesn't want to worry about them considering they have gps, and that it shouldn't be a problem to find us. then there was that thick fog...and they finally caught up to us at a stop in lost hills (off of i-5). we didn't arrive back to our apartment until 6am saturday morning since we dropped off jenika and paul in san jose.
i think after the whole trip, we realized that having sonny & piya come with us was literally a burden for our vacation. literally was the party pooper after they had several verbal fights with each other...and they were the drama of the bunch. the car thing was also the hassle. i definitely do not need to babysit other people. the whole trip was great, their baggage was not.
that's all for now =D i'm really tired but i gotta get ready for a job fair...ja ne ^_^
