Vivienne Westwood in West Hollywood

I went to LA yesterday to go visit my friend and we decided to go around Melrose area for some shopping. I saw the sign "Vivienne Westwood coming soon" about 6month ago and they have no information about the store online so I had to drive by the main strip and look out for it. i was able to find the store and they said it was the fourth day open. I was hoping they would have the armour ring and the orb lighter pendant I wanted but they didnt have that much selection of jewelry and said they would have more stuff come in later. I ended up buying a belt loop and a necklace. something i wasnt planning to get but i think it looks cool.

vegas trip for poker!

I was debating if i should go to vegas or not during my new yrs break since i went on thanksgiving and this yr i want to try to save much money as possible.. but the hotels were really cheap after new yrs day and i decided to go! stayed at Imperial Palace this time, 30$ a night :] hotel was dirtier than Newyork Newyork but they hav a poker room and cant complain with the price and location.. right in middle of the strip. I was doing well at first (with poker) but did a bad call with pocket Q and lost my 200$ stack i built up with 100$ buyin. i was pretty upset but knew that was my bad so im like wutever, and bought in with 100$ again. second hand i get was AK. i raise 20$ and i had my body language like i was on tilt so people would call, resting my head on one arm and throwing in my chips like im pissed lol. one loose player calls and the board was A rag rag. no flush draw. i throw in another 20$ he calls, or mayb 25$? cant remember. turn card was like a 6 of spades. i go all in with 60$ or mayb little bit less. he instant calls and the river was another spade. the guy gets a flush. i was so shocked, i had him all the way til the river. god dammit. i went back to my room and cried on my bed, jk, but seriously fuck that bs call. so i go down 200$ first night, wut a way to start my trip.

next day we walk over to Osheas, which was right next to our hotel. one player was playing realli bad (mayb he was drunk? dono) but everyone else was realli tight. reminded me of playing at Barona or Sycuan. so i didnt wanna stay for too long, after constantly folding i finally get a monster hand pocket A. i raise 10$ and one guy reraises me like 40$. i look at my stack and i think i had like 90$ behind? i go all in, he calls. KK vs. AA and that made my stack double up. so i left lol. and walked over to venetian. much nicer hotel and the place was packed with poker players. but same type of players, great. few players i didnt wanna go against but there was a hand i had to go heads up with. i had top pair A kicker. hav position too and the guy continuation bets. i call all the way and ends up him hitting a straight on the river. gut shot straight draw from flop. very nice buddy. after awhile they leave and few bad players come in. i build my stack like 60$ up and i left for dinner. at this point im winning 150$ from both session, 50$ more to go to break even.

We ate at the Aria for buffet. first time going in the hotel (pics on top is both from Aria). very clean and artistic, love the atmosphere. buffet was pretty good but the alcohol they serve r so strong at the casino. i was getting drunk from cranberry vodka lol. they had a poker room but according to my friend it sucks. so we go back to Venetian to play more.

I got back in a different table, new faces so i had to pay attention which player i can go against to make money. one girl was reraising with AJ on a AQ rag board so i marked her as one. one guy with a decent amount of stack was asking the dealer he had A7 on a 3 4 4 board and if it was a good hand. he said he thinks its good, and no its not good at all, for those of you that dont know poker. so i mark him as retard. he kept putting in 5$ bet saying "very affortable" like every hand he was in lol. so after playing few hands i get QQ. the girl i wanted to go up against raises 10$ on top. i call. board was 5 6 10 i think. i raise 15$ or 20$ i think. she calls. turn card is 9. I raise 40$. she puts me all in. im like wtf? that play is like her having pocket 9s. now that i think about it, she couldve hav 10 9. newayz that time i couldnt think like rite now and i thought she sucked so i call. ends up her having pocket K. i instantly lose 200$ with that one hand. i buy in for 100$ and seat changed to go on her left. after thinking hard about the hand, she had me on a range pin point. no pocket A -> didnt reraise her. mayb A 10 -> raising flop. blasting my money in with that board ->JJ or QQ = her pocket K is good. worst case scenario is a chop with me having same hand as her. and paying attention to her betting pattern i realize shes realli good. i told her that was a realli sick bet.. she knew i was gonna call with JJ or QQ too... we tlked little and shes pretty nice. i had alot of respect for her play style and she was the best at the table. i got up, went for a smoke and when i came back she was in a situation of call All in or fold. i didnt see too much money in the pot mayb like 20$+. looked like she raised 40$ and the guy re raising. she thinks hard and calls with pocket 8 hitting a set on the flop. guy had a straight, gut shot from flop. i asked the other players how it went and it was check around on flop, guy raises 10$ on turn with A coming out (A is not the card he needs) she re raises 40$ he calls. than he goes all in on river. i wouldve done that call too! its a bad beat...wuts up with people going in with gut shots?? she left right after that, i was sad i wasnt able to tlk to her more. guy that raises 5$ every time leaves too... newayz after playing few more hands i got my stack up to 350$ and left. i broke even. 4$ profit to b exact from the entire trip :] i learned alot and i will continue to play poker!

Fashion Show! this time modeling and also doing hair again

I will admit.. i got kind of lazy on doing hair this time so i only did like 2 girls hair.. and they're modeling for different designer than mine so i cant find ne pics so far :[ once i get it ill upload it!

it was my first time modeling at an actual event like this so i was nervous/excited about it. clothing i had to wear was not my style but models hav no choice and i know that so cant complain too much. my friend rex modeled with me too and he also modeled for a jewelry designer. i joked he should just wear the necklace and go topless and he did lol.

again i met some cool people. one of the designer had a realli sick style and her brand name is trashy klassy. i guess she doesnt hav an actual website but can contact her through myspace. havnt used that in ages!
i might model again soon if they're looking for male models.

Audrey Napoleon @U-31

This was actually on last friday but i was so busy till now to blog about it. pic is found on google, i forgot to bring my camera so i couldnt take ne pics damn it.

audrey is one of the dj i saw at Voyeur when i went to see Simian Mobile Disco few weeks back. check my blog about that one for more details. I didnt know her name at the time but one of the event invitation i got a week ago was with her on the cover. i never knew she was that famous. of course ill go see her! cover was only 5$ and U-31 was a pretty chill place. i heard good things about it and i never had the chance to go check it out till than. the opening djs were pretty good but i was waiting for audrey to go up the whole time lol. she played last so i waited like 2hrs. once she got up dou, it was worth waiting! shes so pretty and the music is freakin sick. im gonna b a fan and follow her around (creeper status)

my poker life

as most of my friends know i play poker like every week. i started i think like 2yrs ago? i knew how to play but wasnt good at it so i actually trained on facebook and learned strategies lol. after i started winning online i played at the casino. i was surprised how many people plays worst than on facebook. but bad players leads to bad beats...which i had all nite last nite and on the tournament i was in this morning.

i was reading some articles and one of the tip was to "keep track" of your winnings and losings. im pretty good at that but i found an android app on my phone "poker session log" which u put in how much u bought in for, amount cashed out, time u played, etc. and it calculated how much im making an hr and also graphs it so u can see how ur going up or down. i recommend to anyone who plays poker, its a good way to see how ur doing overall. u can win over 400 one nite and u think ull b ok for few weeks but u can also lose alot.

i played tournament for the first time today at oceans eleven. 45$ buy in. 25$ blinds to begin with. i think u start off with 3k or 3.5k. blinds go up every 10mins....yea it feels like it goes up every 2 hands. i was getting short stacked but waiting for a good hand like A K or even A Q and going all in pre flop got me to survive for 2hrs. when it was 2tables left (top 10 players, who evers in when theres only 1table wins) i got a AA for my second or third hand, went all in with small and big blind on my left with 2people calling the 1600 blind. i thought i won for sure but the guy with 55 called and destroyed me by turning a straight. i had fun so i think it was worth playing and i wanna play again. what i learned was you have to b aggressive than how u usually play. tip i read online was that once people r in the hand they would call even though its not a good hand to call a raise with. also u hav to bluff sometimes. example: blind was 100 i raise to 300 with AJ 2 guys put in 100 already so they call by putting 200 more. flop was 665 i had position and they both checked, i raise 1000 they both fold and i won 600 from the raise i did preflop.

im gonna start playing twice a week now and save up until i can buy a car lol

Fashion Show @Ruby Room

Few weeks ago i contacted MayStar(picture above) my fav club event promoter and asked if i can join her team to style hair for the models in the upcoming fashion show. she said yea and sent me some pictures how she wanted the models to look:] its been a looong time since i did something like this so it was alot of fun and i love meeting and tlking to new ppl. especially her events cuz its full of artistic ppl i get alot of influence from.

one of the model i did hair for. she was friendly and fun to tlk to. she makes custom jewelry and she said she can make something i ask for too~!

i didnt do everything w this models hair. it was more like i finished the style. there was another male stylist and he made a style but the designer(?) wanted to hav a little editing on it so i did wut she asked for. the guy was rite next to me when i was doing it so i felt kind of awkward, he said it looks good when i was done so i had alot of respect for him. i personally liked her hair the best out of 4 styles i did dou. hard to tell from pic but she had nice hair colouring done too. shes also a hair stylist and surprisingly we started at same time (4yrs).

these 2 girls had way too short hair for the style i was been told through messaging few days ago. soo i ended up just tlking w the model and see wut we could do to make it work. my camera took it blurry  so its hard to tell but i wanted her hair to look alittle bit messy than how it turned out but i guess it works w the outfit she wore. same thing w the girl in pic below it. i shouldve brought more product. i wasnt expecting any styles like this.

i had alot of fun and for sure ill b doing it again when i hav a chance. thank you everyone that came and saw the show and people that couldnt make it, i hope to see u next time :]

gas mask i bought online

it has led lights in the filter part too :D who knoes when ill wear it but im happy w it lol
