Girly Weekend

While the boys were out on there Boy Vegas trip, the girls decided to hang out for the entire weekend.

Friday, me, Liz and Marianne went out to LA to meet up with Denise and Ray to celebrate! We also met up with Geoff, Ann, Dre and Angel. We all met up at a bar called Next Door Lounge.. I think that's what it was called. The bar was really cute. All the waitresses were dressed up as Flappers.

We got their fairly late, but still in good time to celebrate! Congrats!!

Afterwards, me, Liz and Marianne headed towards the apartment, but first we needed to stop by Fresh & Easy nearby for some necessities and some goodies! Marianne also picked up stuff for tomorrow's breakfast. The girls slept over!

I think we got home at around 4:00 am and probably slept at 5?

Saturday morning, Denise was trying to wake us all up. She was texting and calling.. trying to let us know that she's gonna be here soon because Ray has work in the morning and she'd have to leave. Marianne was the only one who responded to her, but even then, she went back to sleep and it took several doorbell rings to get us up. Hahaha.

Thus, began our Saturday morning!

We all just lazed about a bit. Marianne started making bfast, but there were a few things we still needed, so Liz and Denise went out to the market. Marianne also brought these really cute miniature girly champagne and wine bottles!! Sooo cute!

When Denise and Liz came back, it was bfast time! And then we started on our home spa stuff! Originally we planned to go to a real spa, but it was pricy and none of us were prepared to spend that much. So, at home spa it is!

We all washed our faces and then put on a face mask. But funny thing.. we're all noobs! We thought the mask already included the lotion, but it didn't. You were supposed to buy that separately and mix it in with the water used to unfold the mask. Oh well, it was fun anyways!

We also watched movies! We watched Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect. Both awesome girly flicks!

The rest of the day was spent with us getting ready. I had my niece's wedding to go to. Since Jeric, my parents and Chris couldn't make it, I asked the girls if they wanted to go with me. Liz was the only one that couldn't make it because she had work.

We got all purty for the wedding and then hit up the mall to buy new dresses and shoes!

We were all dolled up, but omg! Talk about fashionably late? We got there well after dinner was served. Whoopsie! I did make my way around and greeted relatives. But we had no seats.. dinner wasn't being served anymore.. and the bar was cash only! That's when we decided to split.. At that time, Liz was getting off work, so we all decided to eat at Club Guppies! We all ordered popcorn chicken and two of the fried rice dishes (kimchi and salmon). Poor Marianne though.. midway through dinner she didn't look to well. She had to make a trip to the bathroom. Must've been the mixed drink.. cause apparently it was too strong. Liz went home after dinner and the rest of us headed to the apartment. Denise also went home because she had to pick-up Ray. Marianne was supposed to go home too. I was gonna drive her over to get her car at the parentals, but she was far too gone so she ended up spending the night again. We talked for a bit and then went to sleep.

Sunday was super chill. We ate leftovers from yesterdays bfast.. the delicious omelet that Marianne made with cottage cheese and salsa. We also ate the coffee crumble cake that Liz bought as well as fruit bowls.

We watched Silver Linings Playbook.

While waiting for the boys to make their way home, we hit up the mall and then chilled over at the parentals. Marianne had some lunch.. I was too full to eat again.

We thought we had more time to chill, but the boys ended up coming home way sooner than expected.. YEY!

So, off we went to pick-up the boys at the car rental spot.

I Survived Six Flags

So this three day weekend started out slow and chill and ended up with crazy thrills!

Friday night, Saturday and Sunday we mostly just hung out at home or at Jeric's parent's house and went out to eat a few times. That was the bulk of it.

On Saturday, Ivan and Marianne said they got season tickets for Six Flags. There was a promo for buy a day, get the rest of this year and the entire next year for free! They tried to convince everyone else to get one. In the end, no one else did.

Then, on Sunday morning.. Jeric says.. we're going to Six Flags! Marianne actually bought both of our tickets. They're Jeric's early bday gift. Lol. So, we're going!!

I have totally not been to Six Flags for maybe over 5 years! The last time I went was when X was new and DeJavu. I was kind of afraid too. I didn't think I could stomach those roller coasters anymore. I mean, Hollywood Tower of Terror gives me the hebee jebee's. And then came Monday. We were supposed to leave around 9:30, but since we all had a late night yesterday (we left Jeric's parent's house at like 2:30am) no one woke up early. And we ended up leaving at 11. And there we were.. good ol' Six Flags!

We walked in and were thinking about which ride should be first. Initially it was going to be Tatsu or X2. But then we saw Revolution and thought we'd get our feet wet first. We took the little trolly up the hill and when we got there, we could not figure out how to get to Revolution. We did see Tatsu though. And since Tatsu was the only major coaster I haven't been on yet, that was our first stop. Jeric and Marianne were the only two that rode it before. We got in line. But ewww. The wait was 90 minutes long and then while we were in line the ride broke down. So we left.

We ended up going on Viper first. Haha. Still a great ride to test the waters with. And! There was absolutely no line! Reminds me of them good ol' high school days. When the park would be closing soon and there was no line and we totally rode Viper six times in a row! We'd run up the stairs.. ride.. exit.. and run back up them stairs!

After Viper, we decided to head back to Tatsu. I must say. That ride isn't as crazy as far as high drops goes, but that G-Force! Holy EFF! It made me stop screaming. Hahaha. Or, more like, it FORCED me to stop screaming. I could actually ride that ride again. I'll still have the fear, but I can do it!

Other rides we rode:

Psyclone's replacement, Apocalypse: It's terminator-like themed. It's just as bad as Psyclone. Fast, jolty, and way uncomfortable. But without as big of a drop in the beginning.

Green Lantern: Looked like a wuss ride. Like a ride to take a super thrill break. Boy was I wrong! There was so much packed into that tiny freaking ride! Spins that made every tiny drop feel worse than it looked.. thrusting forward.. slamming backward.. All kindsa crap. And with it, the pain from uncomfortable bars and what not to keep you strapped in. I probably got a bruise from the ride. Wouldn't be suprised!

Drop of Doom: I did not ride. Yup, that's right, I chickened out! I will never again ride Supreme Scream, so why would I ride this, it's waaay higher!

Unless you paid me 5k or more, I will never ride it. They did though! Haha. This ride is on the sides of Superman. They take you up to the top, hold you, and then drop you! Just thinking about it gives me chills.

Goliath: Same as always. Easy peasy for them, because they had just ridden Drop of Doom, which was higher, and at 90 degrees. But not I. Haha. Hmm, Goliath is like over 200 stories high.. I wonder how high Drop of Doom is???

X2: Scariest one! I read the enhancements. They cut holes through out the seat boards in order to lessen wind resistance, which means it'll go faster! And then they just added special effects.. fog, fire and music (our music did not play though). Anyhow, as far as speed, yes, that shit went faster than I remembered! We accidentally rode the front for this one (we usually get the back, since they get the most pull).. I was kinda happy.. cause I was thinking we'd be halfway down the drop before it fully releases. But boy did I forget! That mini dip at the beginning? Yah, that allows the full release before the drop! SHIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT! LOL. None-the-less it was fun!

I did it! I rode the craziest rides there and I survived!!! YEY! *high five*

By the way.. they're tearing down Colossus.. but before you go boohoo'ing in some random corner, you must know.. they're rebuilding it! YEY! And it will be dubbed.. Twisted Colossus, which is a total hybrid coaster! Half wood half steel! So it will have parts of Colossus (like that first big drop), but will have loops, corkscrews and all the other glory of a steel coaster! Oh and I forgot to mention.. ride time will be almost 4 minutes long! Holy eff!

Can't forget the funnel cake!
