Aightz, as I stated in my previous blog that I will spill **laugh** So, here is more the granual detail of 'our' ATL trip:-) Thien came late to picking them up (Quyen, Nghi, & Phil) at the airport and then he forgot how to get back to where he park (don't ask me - I was waiting for 2.5 hrs at the hotel lobby) **laugh** When we all finally met up it was 11ish...we were just all in a 'frazzled' mood (flight delays, finding cars, the waiting, etc), and we were starving too because we were hoping to have dinner by 9ish. We ended up eating at McD **ack**
Afterwards, we headed out to some strip and had a sorta nice time...but Quyen got tired and wanted to head back to hotel to sleep up (she had 6 drops of Dramamine - motion pills). However, Phil had shots of red bull so he was completely wide awake and couldn't sleep **laugh** We had to find something to do and ended staying up til 5 AM.
That was Friday night for you. Saturday, we all woke up early and headed out to find food and eat something on Buford (?!spelling) St...we were fortunate that one of us had connection with someone in ATL. Met up with him and he sorta told us the hang outs, what to do, and where to go (he was a good tour guide/host). Yes, we all went out again that night...and this night was more memorable than the previous. Can you belive Nghi challenged the Phil too shots...they got so messed up **laugh** However, it wasn't funny because I ended up babysitting them in the parking lot. Nghi's head was hanging outta the door to the car because she was heaving and the Phil was starting to cave in and ended up resting his head on my lap **sigh** I was sympathized by everyone who went to their car **laugh** There's more but I'm getting tired of typing **laugh**
Moving along, Sunday was a bit tame we had to come home early because Nghi's flight left at 7AM. We went to Stone Mt...that's a place I want to go back too. Quyen and I had 'inappropriate'shoes on (my tennis was at the hotel) **shaking head** So, our trip there was pretty short due to the fact that we couldn't make up the incline in heals **laugh** Plus, it started to rain so it was probably a good idea to head back. Then we went and did the asian thing by heading to a kaorake bar, fortunately, we rented a room and just sang (my throat is sooooo sore now **laugh**). Afterwards, we went to a quant cafe and stayed til 2AM.
Monday morning came and Nghi left us without giving us any hugs or saying goodbyes **sniff sniff** YOU SO OWE US **laugh** The rest of us just trekked around downtown ATL and then headed towards their flights or drove home.
That's all - the end:-P~ (read previous blog to see my shout outs)

Lawdy, I'm soooo hurting **laugh** I just came back from my 3 day weekend trip in ATL, and I have to admit the second time around there was a whole lot better. As my friend Phil stated so eloquently, "It doesnt matter where you go, its who you go with." So, we went out, chit chat till the wee hours of the morning, woke up early too boot, ate to much asian food, and survived **laugh**
I wouldn't mind dishing out the details of my trip but right now, my brain and the rest of me isn't fully coherent **grin** I might disclose to much or become some blabbering lunatic **laugh**
So, I'll end it short and I'll hit up my blog again but I'll give my shouts to Thien in TN - who trusted my driving skills to drive his car **wink**, Phil in DC - for being courteous by rolling down the window to puke **laugh**, Nghi & Quyen from Seattle - for coordinating where I should sleep in the bed **laugh**, Hieu & Dac of ATL - great job in showing us around!!

Happy belated New Years!!
Hmm, let me see what did I do for the holidays. I had friends come down from the Chicago area (nice weather you guys are having up there **grin**). Everyday they would watch the college bowl and TX Hold'em **ugh** I swear you guys could've done that when you were back home...I was bored to tears but then again I didn't know what else to do here besides the malls, movies, bars and beaches **laugh**
However, I did have fun in Dallas...just attended a wedding and ate food **laugh** Someone once told me, I'm most happiest when I'm being fed **wink**
