Paduacee and Jessey's Birthday

On Jessey's and Paduacee's birthday, we went to Golden Corral for lunch. I thought it was interesting that that the place had cotton candy and fondues. Other than that, it's just a regular old buffet. The only dish that really stood out to me was the mashed potatoes. Those were really good.

During the evening, we all met up at Paduacee's place. Paduacee and Jessey both opened up their gifts. They both seemed to like their presents.

After opening gifts, we went to the Park Ultra Lounge. We probably waited for about 15 minutes until we got inside.

When we got inside, everyone ordered a long island iced tea. We got there pretty early, so there was like no one in the dance floor yet.

We spent most of our time talking, taking photos, and trying some drinks.

I only had 3 drinks while I was there. I had the long island iced tea, gummy bear shot, and sex on the beach. It was my first time trying long island iced tea and I thought it was alright.

It was Paduacee's first time clubbing and she thought that the experience was ok. It wasn't my first time, but each time that I went I have enjoyed my experiences.

My friend ordered this blue drink she saw someone had and said it was called AMF. Later on I noticed my friend got another blue drink and wondered if it was the same one. I looked up drinks name and realized they both got the same drink, Adios (AMF).

Paduacee and Kha had a challenge with Jessey to get some girls numbers. I remembered that when we were at the club and I pushed Jessey away a few times and told him to not come back unless he had some numbers. Jessey managed to reach his goal of 5 numbers that night, which was cool. I also got Jessey to take some pictures with some hot ladies.

I liked dressing up, especially since I don't have the opportunity to dress up.

It was nice seeing some familiar faces and it was pretty fun. I went on the dance floor too, but I didnt stay for too long.

I wished I had a better camera that night because most of my photos are dark.

 Overall, I had lots of fun. I believe that Paduacee and Jessey did as well.  I can't wait for out next gathering together.

Walking through the UC Davis Arboretum

Yesterday,  I walked through the whole arboretum with Xeng. It was my first time ever doing it. I've walked it before, but not the whole thing. Before we walked to the arboretum, we grabbed pastries at Konditori.

I remember during my university days, I used to walk to In-n-Out Burger whenever I had a craving while studying. I would take the trail on the arboretum because it's a nice view and I think it was shorter.

The weather was pretty hot yesterday and I'm glad that we didn't go too late in the day. I saw some pretty nice collections, but I think my favorite was the Redwoods collection. It really made me feel that I was in a different place. I loved that there were picnic benches in the redwood collection. Maybe I will go there and have a picnic on day.

 

 

You saw that owl? Wait, I don't think it's an owl. But, its pretty freaky.

Among one of my favorite sightings yesterday was a cactus, a trunk, and the bridges.

While walking through the trail, I decided to create a montage video using the Montaj app. 

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience walking through the arboretum. But, I think one of the best times to walk through it is when its pretty cool and misty and after it rained. That way it wouldn't be so hot and I like how nature looks like when its been touched by rain.

Emily's 10th Birthday

For Emily's 10th birthday we went to Sunsplash to celebrate and to of course enjoy the water rides, which were pretty fun. I hadn't been to Sunsplash in years. There was a lot of people at the park, but the lines were pretty reasonable. I was scared a few times before going on the water rides, but it never stopped me from actually going through with the rides. I think Stealth is the most intimidating ride since it looks like you will just fly off the ride, but its actually not the scariest ride I rode on.

We also had dinner at BJ's for Emily's birthday.

I think Emily's favorite thing to order at places is spaghetti, which is pretty basic.

For dessert, Emily had a pizookie. It was my first time trying it and I thought it was alright.

Emily' got a chocolate oreo cake for her birthday. Originally she said she wanted a ice cream cake, but she changed her mind.

I didn't like the cake too much, so I only ate a thin slice of it.

Emily also wanted to play some games with us, so we went to Elk Grove Park to play. We ended up playing Clue, Jenga, and Apples to Apples.

Overall, I think Emily had a really good birthday. She got to do a lot and had good food and company.
