The Mak's Birthday!

On Saturday, I went to work and after work I raced home to find my friend Maki a birthday gift. I searched high and low for something at the mall, but to no avail. ARRRRGH!! Anyway, do you remember me previously mentioning what I did for Alex's Birthday? Probably not!! Well, I had his birthday at a place called "Locked Up" in Shibuya. We had a blast. My friend Maki found it for me.

"Locked Up" is a novelty restaurant that's themed around the idea of being in prison. Upon arrival, Alex and I were handcuffed by women dressed in sexy police uniforms and escorted to a jail cell to meet our friends. It was a lot of fun and we had plenty of laughs. Now, it cost about $45.00 dollars per person, but that included an eight course meal (very delish), dessert, and all you can drink (alcohol) for 2 hours. Anyway, I say all that to say this........

Maki had her birthday at a place called "Alcatraz ER" another novelty restaurant based around the idea of a medical prison. Unlike "Locked Up", upon arrival you have to state your blood type to enter and if you don't know, well, your just assed out. No, I'm only kidding! I think you can still enter if you don't know! Once you enter the restaurant, you are then escorted by sexy nurses to your medical jail cell.

After we ate all that we could eat from the menu for $35.00, it was time to play some drinking games. By the way, the food was pretty good! The fried chicken wings were my favorite. So, back to the drinks...... they had many drinks to choose from and they were all named after different medical terms like "influenza" and "myocardial infarction" and the list continues. It was good!

When all was said and done, no one was ready to go home, so we went to a club called Gaspanic. It was free to get in, as long as you were ordering from the bar or had a drink in your hand. By the end of the night morning (5:30a.m) we were all pooped!! Alex and I returned home and tried to catch some shut eye for a few hours because Sunday was going to be another eventful day.

Hmm? Where should I begin...

Let's start from last Thursday and move forward......

On Thursday, I went to work and returned home a little after 6p.m. and went on a cleaning frenzy.

OH!! WAIT!! WAIT! WAIT!! Scratch that!!!

OH MY GOD, HOW COULD I FORGET!! I HAVE A NEW BABY SISTER!! GRACE!! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE AND LOOKS JUST LIKE ME WHEN I WAS A BABY!! You know what that means!! She is going to be absolutely gorgeous! So, I am not only an Aunty to an adorable newphew, but also a sister again!! YAY!! Anyway, sorry for that outburst, but I had to announce that to the world.

We will now return to our daily scheduled program..........5, 4, 3, 2, 1..

On Thursday, I went to work and returned home a little after 6p.m. and both Alex and I went on a cleaning frenzy. Why? Because our friends were coming over on Friday to spend the night. SLUMBER PARTY!! YAY!! Well, maybe not.

When they arrived Friday night they were absolutely tired. They had been cleaning their house and packing all day long because they are getting ready move to Europe (maybe that might be my next stop??). Anyway, when they eventually arrived we all socialized for a while and before long we were all knocked out. So, that brings us to Saturday. Click Here

Nothing Can Stop Me...

These past few days I have been, well, kind of sick. I lost my voice on Thursday and I was literally down to a whisper. I didn't go to work that day and tried every remedy under the sun to make it come back. However, nothing seemed to work. That is until, I remembered one of my grandma's remendies. Yep, I had some Jamaican Rum (Joncrow Batty), lemon, and honey and guess what..............IT WORKED!! I was up and running in no time lol!! Anyway, with all of that being said, I felt well enough to go out this weekend and paint the town red with my friends. GOOD TIMES!!

Surprise!!

This past weekend was good. After work on Saturday, I went out with my friends for a birthday gathering. Alex met me at Kokubunji Station and we were off to Harajuku to surprise the birthday boy. After surprising Maine, who wasn't expecting to see us and was in complete shock, we all walked to Yoyogi Park to the Brazilian Festival. It was really nice! There were tons of people, food, drinks, and music. However, we didn't stay too long because we had to make it to the Tokyo Dome in Suidoubashi before it got too late. Once we made it to the Tokyo Dome, we were off to Bubba Gump Shrimp to eat the night away with the birthday boy. GOOD TIMES!

Check Out Some of the Pics.....

Fun!! Fun!! Fun!!

This past weekend, I was convinced to go out on the town with my friends. So, I ended up in Shinjuku and Roppongi for the night!

First, we started our loooonnnnnnggg night out in Shinjuku (one of Japan's busiest prefectures) on the rooftop of an eighth floor building. Man, wasn't it nice!! Once we made it to the top floor, there were several restaurants aligning the rooftop of this building. The sight was spectacular. There were tons of restaurants to choose from such as; Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian, and Malaysian restaurants. All of this while the moon sat right above us as we ate and listened to music.

Several Umeshu's later, we left and went to Roppongi to party the night away. I didn't get home until after 7:00 the next morning. Whew!! What a night!! (Umeshu is a Japanese drink made from unriped plums. It's sooo good! It has a sweet and sour taste.
