You're alive!!!
Las Vegas is so nice! It's Vince's favoritest city in the world because it's an adult's Disneyland. Whatever that means! Although it's pretty sad that they only have one seafood buffet and the crabs looked kinda small! Well, that's what an islander like me would say. But Las Vegas looks fantastic and I want to see it!!!
Fountains of Bellagio aka. Bellagio Water Show :)
Neighbor! I'm alive indeed :D But yes, been pretty much 'absent' in blogging as of late. Hmm... I'm actually surprised Vince likes Vegas! Parang he's too sossy for the city hehe. I'm game to go with you girls though. But I have a feeling we'll all just stay indoors, and veg out and chika!
Hi, Phoebe! Thanks for the correct name! :)
The Venetian is so beautiful, right? :)
Such a pitiful seafood buffet.
Hi there! Yes the Venetian was nice but it also made me want to go to Venice because I've never been!
Hey, I loved the seafood buffet it was actually very very good :) I ate one too many lobster tails and crab legs to my heart's content. And then capped everything off with pistachio gelato (that was also part of the buffet) :)
Ooohhh...lobster! :)
I guess that doesn't sound so pitiful anymore. :P
I guess this Venetian is in Vegas then. Went to Macau's, and it totally looked the same. :)
Hi, Mariel! We used to be schoolmates in UP Econ and org mates in Ecosoc :) Just wanted to letcha know that I really enjoy reading about your NYC adventure. It's my favorite city, too :) I've only been there twice but am hoping for more visits in the future. More power to you and your awesome blog!
