Thursday: Quiet Riot @ Stone Rose

Thursday morning Mark, Stacy, and I conducted Mission: Birthday Surprise for the newly turned 21 birthday celebrant, Melissa Reyes!

CLICK HERE to see photos from the Stone Rose @ Sofitel.

We started off the day by heading to Auntie Em's in Eagle Rock for breakfast and to pick up 2 dozen cupcakes.
Grilled Steak Sandwich

We had to get balloons next, but ended up getting random shit like "Pin the Tail on the Donkey", party hats, streamers, and a whistle.
Stacy and I were bustin' up at this poorly crafted Spiderman pinata.
Purple x Teal
It was then off to Ralph's to buy all the necessary ingredients for Stacy's birthday dinner.
But what's a party without party hats and a handle of Crown Royal from Costco!?
We decorated the spot and set up the dinner table for the birthday girl... Check out Chachy already eatting. HAHA
Thanks Stacy for cooking these tasty sliders!
Unfortunately we took all the pre-party photos on my Canon 40D but my friend is using it so I haven't uploaded the pictures yet. You should see the Pin the Tail on the Donkey pictures... HAHA! I'll blog about it later.

So lets fast forward to Quiet Riot at Stone Rose inside the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills. I was my pleasure to be hosting along side the Collective: Doug Wu, Bee Nguyen, and Arsen. Too bad I was completely donezo by the end of the night... Not a good look when you're one of the host but it was a good party! The guy to girl ration was awesome! Lots of good looking people. We even had Amare Stoudemier (Phoenix Suns), Torii Hunger (Anaheim Angles), and Pleasure P (Pretty Ricky) in the house. I'm looking forward to our next collaboration.

This is a nice picture of Stacy x Melissa... Too bad Chachy had to ruin it! HAHA J/K!

Honestly, I hardly remember the cupcakes coming out. I'm not sure what happen but I got so drunk...

Make a wish!
Supposedly the cupcakes were a huge hit! Stacy and Alysha love it!
Here's my failed attempt at feeding Mel a cupcake, which ended up in her lap. Sorry for partying fouling... HAHA! GRRR!

Damn even Jon aka Playa Pimpin' (Blends) came through to party. To bad I was knocked out in the VIP section... FML!
Its all a blur....
Sheryl x Chachy x Angie x Jamie
Although we got hooked up with a "buy 1 get 1" bottle special, it still came out to $442! FML!? HAHA... Its all good! Although I don't remember everything, as long as the birthday girl had fun and everyone else, its all good!
Hi BFF! I don't remember talking to you at all!
Peter x Alysha
So here I am straight knocked out in the VIP section with Mark Marcelo... I'm like seriously curled up all comfy status. WTF!? On top of that, our VIP section was in the middle of the club.
FAIL!
Thanks to everyone that came out, especially those of you from SD. Also to Mark and Chachy (two different people) for taking photos while I was "sleeping" on the couch. There are actually more photos from that night but they are a bit too crazy to post! Lets just say it looked like a crime scene from CSI. HAHA

Happy 21st Birthday Melissa! =)

Overall it was a successful event and I'm looking forward to the next Quiet Riot party! I apologize for being so drunk at my own event... It happens to the best of us! See you all soon!

Wednesday: Elephant Bar x Harney Sushi

I'm pretty behind on blogging... Its been an eventful week that started on Wednesday. I cruised through to Elephant Bar for happy hour before class to meet up with Robyn, who was visiting from Chicago. Vanessa, Cheryl, and I were there early to catch up with each other before the rest of the gang showed up. Too bad I had to leave early for class... Good seeing you Robyn!

CLICK HERE to see more photos from Wednesday.

Cheryl x Vanessa x Robyn
I couldn't wait for class to be over... I was headed to Harney Sushi in Oceanside for Jeff Rimando's Going Away dinner and then it was off to Hollywood...

Harney Sushi was crackin' with people, many of whom I haven't seen in a while. It was a nice reunion.

Roach came down from Santa Ana to visit with friends!
Jeff is moving to Vegas this week! We'll be visiting you during the first week of May for the Manny Pacquiao fight! Good luck out there!

Conquering Black Mountain!

I forgot to mention that Alvin and I rode our mountain bikes up Black Mountain on Monday. Not Black Mountain Road... the actual f**kin' mountain. HAHA. I haven't been up there since my High School days (I believe the last time was with Alvin too). It took us over an hour to get up to the top, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We did have to walk parts of it however because my legs were burning! The view from the top was so peaceful and amazing. It reminded me of why I need to get off my computer sometimes and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. The ride down was lots of fun... Just straight downhill the entire way!

Come join us next time... Whenever that is! HAHA

Here is Alvin's blog from conquering Black Mountain...

This is the view from the top of...BLACK MOUNTAIN!

No matter how tall...We're all small.

Toe-Knee's "We made it nucka!" face.

Do you understand why I love the outdoors yet?

Best friends. Uber homo picture. Hahahaha! No homo though!

You'd think we were talking about something deep. But it was probably about pu kang kang.

Join the crew next time! No homo again! Hahaha!

Gotta get a quazi-healthy dinner afterwards.

Oh my, its Ollie and I's high school cars reunion. I miss off roading!

TK and I have matching mancessories. Now that sounds homo. Ha!

Bar Basic x Pinkberry

This past Tuesday a handful of us went down to Bar Basic for a few drinks and pizza! They've got the best mash potato pizza in town. Afterwards, we all walked over to Pinkberry on 5th Ave for some yogurt to help with our digestion. Then it was off to Bumsville for some good laughs and fun times...

I got all these photos from Ollie's blog. Thanks BFF!
