for my birthday, i went to ruth's chris steakhouse and ive watched a bunch of movies. i watched the league of extraordinary gentleman, harry potter and the chamber of secrets, paycheck and eurotrip.

ruth's chris steakhouse, irvine: great atmosphere, reminiscent of new york steakhouses, great service. they made sure there were no water spots or fingerprints on any dinnerware. just before you receive your steak, they have this guy who scraps all the bread crumbs from your table. they call you by your name and the water sure aint tap. steaks are brought out sizzling on a super heated plate with melted butter. steaks only come by itself so you have to order sides of potatoes and veggies. they have a list of both which costs $7 each side. you must save room for desert and try the creme brulee. it is a custard with a caramelized top layer. average price per folk: $60. after eating at this place and at the Prime in bellagio, PRIME still takes the cake. although ruth's is not far behind and is my favorite in southern california.

harry potter 2: A+ , hermione kicks ass.
paycheck: B- , i like uma thurman.
tales of extraordinary gentleman: D , caca
eurotrip: B, has a disrupting scene showing 50 penis's

me and a couple of my friends has decided to compete to see who can weigh the most by christmas. the person who comes in last will have to buy rounds of lawry's steak to each competitor. because all of us need to gain at least 20lbs from where we are now, i think having a competition is the optimal way in motivating ourselves. besides, who wants to pay for a $200+ dinner? feel free to enter yourself in this competition. just contact me. anything goes, no rules, unless you are already a fat piece of lard. to give you all an idea we are average about 200lbs.

tonight i went to the mall with a friend with $1.18 cents in change. i was hungry so i bought a mcdonalds hot fudge sundae. after shopping i was hungry. then we went to fatburger and since i had no money, i was forced to eat 2 double kingburgers. ive never been to fatburger so i expected an average sized burger. but it came out that the double king burgers have a pound of meat each. so i sat there for a long time just finishing the 2lbs of meat. there are easily about 2000 calories in each burger which means i consumed about 1.25 lbs of fat.

i hate this hot weather. so i altered my sleeping pattern back to vampire mode. id go to sleep at 6am and wake up at 3 or 4pm when the sun is setting down and it gets cooler. then i could go out and do stuff. good thing europe is at a comfortable 75 degrees high.

congratulations to mark dugdale the new IFBB pro card winner of the NPC USA's. he can kick my ass. hes only a light-heavy weight and he beat all the heavyweights and superheavy weights. this is a rare occasion. most of the time, the judges always gives the overall title to the superheavyweight just because they are freaky big. im glad they finally realize how conditioning is better than having size.

i watched the butterfly effect for the first time at my friends house tonight. what a great movie. ive always liked weird movies with twists and stuff such as eyes wide shut, american beauty, magnolia, pulp fiction etc. and this one adds to the list. butterfly effect is from the chaos theory which says that the most minute things will effect an outcome. what you are doing right now will affect your future. it is also called the butterfly effect because some philosopher said that the flaps of a butterly's wings can affect the wind patterns eventually leading to a storm on the other side of the earth a year from now. before i watched the movie i did wonder about this theory also. i thought that everything is planned out already from the day we took our first breath to the day we die.

i have decided that next time i go to vegas, ill just stay at the bellagio,  gamble at the bellagio, eat at the bellagio, and party at the bellagio. over there are the hottest cocktail waitresses, top quality food, classy architecture, best buffet and the best cirque du soleil show. (with the exception of the mr. olympia convention at the mandalay bay. )  for instance, we went from bellagio to meet up with a friend at ballys which was across the street and more closer we get to ballys you can hear more ebonics, see people wearing tank tops and shorts, buck teeth, drunk asses etc.. that night we were dressed up also so we felt like we didnt belong. we went back to bellagio and there you see slacks, ties, evening gowns, people getting married, and lots of persians = (high maintenance).
 
friday was spent out at the pool, eating at the paris le village buffet, and shopping at caesars. my sweet tooth hasnt slowed down yet, so in goes chocolate crepes, with chocolate syrup, chocolate sprinkles and chocolate fudge on top. dinner was at the bellagio cafe which i forgot to mention is the best 24 hour cafe in vegas. from there something happened and the night was spent getting acquainted with a blond cocktail waitress. muy caliente!!! attempts at asking her out to the steak dinner was worth the try. shed loved to but she declined because she sleeps at 4pm and wakes up at midnight for her 2am shift. rats!
 
saturday morning, i went down to the lazy river and floated around for 2 hours. i am dark, very dark. UV was like 13, it was hot and humid and bodybuilders were there during this week at the NPC USA competition. after was spent at the bayside buffet at the mandalay bay and we relaxed around casinos until it was time to get ready for the steak.
 
this trip to vegas went from going to the NPC USA's  to the Prime Steak House. priorities change without warning! i took some pictures of things that intrigued me such as fine restaurants that do the zip zag design with syrup on your dish, making the food look like art,  and drinking imported sparkling water from italy. even the butter was in cubes spelling out P-R-I-M-E! i ordered a 12oz filet mignon medium rare, a side order of gratin dauphinois potatoes and a glass of merlot to clean the palette. everywhere we look people are staring at our table just because they have never seen 20 year olds at the restaurant. to make us stand out more, we pretended that it was my friends 18th birthday,  he was actually 21. my bill came out to $90. money well spent! these spy pics were taken inconspicuously with a slow shutter speed and without flash. i didnt want people to think we are idiots taking pictures of our food.

The Scene: The setting is serene, elegant and romantic. Its timeless beauty and grandeur is reflected in the classic decor: Baccarat chandeliers, plush velvet draperies and powder-blue marble floors. The breathtaking large windows are the focal point and offer patrons a front-row seat for the Bellagio's trademark dancing-fountain show.

review: A creationg of Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Great food and service at Bellagio's steakhouse. Located next to Picasso on the lower level, it has several tables that feature fantastic views of the Fountains of Bellagio outside. The decor features a lot of heavy wood, reminiscent of a New York City steakhouse. Our filets were cooked perfectly and the staff were extremely attentive.
