HOUSTON RODEO 2012

03/17/2012

Kisses and I brought my little nephews and nieces to the rodeo.  This was right after my board exam, so yeah, a bit disaster looking. Haha.

My little cowboy.

MELODY HOUSE + IHOP

Remember how unsatisfied my friends and I were from our KTV experience last night? This is why we decided to have another karaoke session.

WARNING: photo flood below. :)

We arrived at the Melody House KTV at around 12:50 AM, and so we were quite unsure if we were still going to have a room since it’s Friday night, and time since they close at 2 AM. Nevertheless, we still tried our luck. I asked the receptionist the time they close, and he said “2 AM” in quotations—meaning, they are “supposed” to close at 2 AM but they were nice and willing enough to accommodate us for as long as we want to stay.

Of course, we got quite excited. We could finally exhaust our voices as much as we could. However, we got disappointed when we started singing. Their machine isn’t as troublesome as YES KTV’s but they have a terrible sound system, as well as impecunious song selection. Talk about 50% Chinese songs, and very scanty English songs. Very outdated machine, I must say.

They do, however, have Korean pop songs like 2NE1’s “I don’t care”.

Jasmine Tea. Try it! It helps them vocal cords.

And Hot Sake. I was never fond of SAKE so, I’ll keep my mouth shut for Christ’s sake.

Wendy and her new hairstyle. Emma Watson ang peg!!!


The blooming Princesly. She has been the reason why we have been frequently hanging out. A friend in need, is a friend indeed. We are here for ya! :)

IHOP time after KTV-ing.

Syrup. I still like Aunt Jemima’s better than all these. :)

Aubrey, Miki, Dan, Paola (hiding), Princesly, and Darius.

Split Decision Breakfast. Why named split decision? I don’t know. But I chose this because I couldn’t decide what to get. Haha.

The one and only Miki Mortel.

Didn’t know these Dr. Dre beats cost a lot. ($500-ish)

YES KTV + Cafe 101

WARNING: photo flood ahead.

It’s a Thursday night, but I don’t know what have gotten in their (Paola, Kisses, and Wendy) minds that they were willing to wait for me at the garage for 30 minutes just so we can go anywhere the wheels lead us to.

We decided to have our very late dinner at Cafe 101 (as usual, and like I’ve said a million times, it’s probably one of the very few places that are open at this time). There were KTV bars nearby. I contacted them, and reserved a room. Next thing I knew, I was screaming at the top of my lungs ( or at least I pretended to). LOL.

Free beer. Probably because the karaoke bar is pretty much empty. And to show their gratitude for our presence, perhaps.

I want those sexy chairs. Really.

Pineapple shrimp for Princesly.

Soo gay. But I’d love to have an iPhone case, just like that. bwahaha.

Lavender Milk Tea for me.

Wendy and her not-so awesome chicken..ahm…I don’t recall the name. But whatever, it was no good, anyway. She barely ate any.

Wendy and I.

And off we go. We reserved a room for 1230  thinking it’s open till the morn. The karaoke bar closed at 2 am. I think we spent half our time learning how to use their machine, and searching for songs.

Bruno Mars! Half of the time, we were basically watching the songs’ MTVs because we were too dumb to figure out that we could actually turn off the vocals so we could sing it ourselves. Haha.

And a fourth of our time was spent on Wendy keying the numbers for our song. Talk about stubby fingers.

Budlight! My buddy.

Since we were sorta unsatisfied with our time spent karaoke-ing, we tried looking for more KTV’s opened. Found none. But hey, we were really determined on rummaging around town just to find one open, until they remembered that it’s just Thursday, and they do have works/clinicals tomorrow. And so we headed home, still unsatisfied.

AGORA. AGORA.

Last week, friends and I decided to chill after dinner at Cafe 101. We were heading towards Starbucks when I suggested that we should go to Agora instead. I spent majority of my studying during my college years at Starbucks, and I really just wanted a new environment.

I’ve only been in Agora once, and that was about 5 years ago when I just met Noel and Kisses. I liked the cozy feel. They offer gourmet coffees, imported ales and beers, european delicacies (greek yogurts, and cheese), and more. 

I got myself a Cafe Au Lait. The greek biscuit that comes with it really complements the not-too-sweet taste of their coffee. 

What I like the most about agora is the ambiance. I love cozy places like this where I can just drink my coffee, relax, stare and observe people. Haha. Freaky.

At Agora, you may enjoy collections of replicas of ancient art pieces on their wall and crevices. 

Noel and Aubrey. 

Yours truly, Tita Aida, Noel, Aubrey, and Ate Roxanne. Thanks Paola for taking the picture. This photo is probably the sharpest among the 20 shots that you took. Haha. Great Job!

I will probably chill at Agora more often especially in times where I really just need to be away from my lonely room. I’ve been spending way too much time here in my room, it almost feels like a prison. LOL.

Ciao. 

Christmas Dinner/ Exchange Gift with my study buddies at Grand De Luxe Cafe XD.

Happy Hour at RA right after grad rehearsal. Gotta love these peeps, the sushi, and of course the booze.
