About The Vegas Trip.

The beautiful sunrise in Interstate 15 between LA and Las Vegas. 
On the road for 7 hours already.

Right now I am pigging out on $1 honey glazed donuts and Ruffles potato chips for dinner. I've been trying to eat a lot healthier these past few weeks adding lots of green vegetables and organic fresh fruits on my diet. And also drinking loads of water lest I suffer again from severe dehydration. I have this habit of drinking water only when I'm really really thirsty which is not very good since I only feel thirsty once a day. Mostly in the late afternoon and just like losing sleep, it's really bad for your body. So yes, I've been eating healthy except for tonight. The good part is I don't feel guilty :D

Anyway, God I miss blogging! It's just been crazy busy at work and at home, I haven't really gotten the time to sit down, relax and write. Vegas was one helluva trip. We weren't able to get a lot of photos but I did get to take a few pictures using my phone. Not so bad considering I rarely take pictures on trips, special occasions or even on random days. (Trying very hard to change that--New Year's resolution is to take more photos!)   

So unfortunately we weren't able to get married there. Had plans of going to the wedding chapel  and have Elvis sing for us Saturday night morning after some drinks but were all too wasted to get a cab at 3 am. We decided to go to my CIL's hotel room to binge on some pizza instead. But again, The Hubby and I were too drunk to get up and eat. Woke up later that morning having a little hangover. It was a fun night though. :) I don't really drink a lot of alcohol but that night was an exception.

Although we stayed there for only 2 nights, our Vegas trip was fun.  We were on the road for a total of almost 20 hours and it ate 2 days of our trip but it was all worth it. As soon as we arrived home I unpacked some of our stuff for a little while and then went straight to bed just to wake up very early the next morning for work. 

I don't think I want to drive to Vegas again. 10 hours is just too much. It's almost like flying to Manila. We're going back this May for my friend's bachelorette party and I have to book tickets ASAP. We might be staying a little longer than this previous trip so I hope we get to finally squeeze an appointment with Elvis this time. 

ps. Will post Vegas pics soon!

Waking Up in Vegas.

Jem & The Holograms. I grew up watching these girls. 

         

       It's confirmed. We are going to Vegas on February. I am up in the clouds and very much  looking forward to this trip since Paulo hardly goes on vacation and i've been begging him for a trip outside San Francisco. 

        So since we are going to Vegas, he decided that we might as well get married, again (I know, i know). This time by Elvis at his little chapel on the strip. At first it was a popular joke in our family back in December when we went home for our 3rd wedding (First official wedding with all our family and friends).But now it seems like he is very serious and has actually found an Elvis and a little white chapel for us. At first I was very against it. This is seriously way beyond anything. I don't need to get married four times! Once is enough. I only want one wedding, one memorable one and we already had it last January 4. It's starting to make everything look like a joke. It's making everything look very trivial, you know, this whole getting married in 7 churches thing. 


        But then again, we only get to live once. And I seriously told myself that I have to live a little more this year. Stop being too shy, quiet, timid and overly apologetic. I need to do new things, try exciting stuff and be more outgoing. Push the envelope a little. It's about time I do things to make life a little more fun. So I thought, Why not?! Besides, our family and closest friends want to dress really "baduy" and dude, I'm all for it! *raises a glass* For crazy good memories!

  

         So now I'm thinking of what to wear, it's 3 weeks away and doing that whole "Jem is my name" thing is going to require a lot of effort, time and creativity. I'm thinking of cutting off some bangs, dying my hair black and adding some fake pink and purple highlights. Get those bright neon eye shadows, super skinny jeans, bright pumps and gloves. This is crazy I can't wait. I will try to look at some of my mom's photos in the 90's when they had this infamous hairspray-ed bangs and shaggy hair. I love it. 

           Hmm...I wonder what Paulo and the boys are going to wear. Haha. they better think of something really good. Rockstar good.
