Jean Philippe's Pastry


I'm in love, and he deserves his own post. The little Dessert Shop inside Bellagio is so yummy. I'm in love with the Ice cream here. It's soft, light and fluffy. I had 2 cones in one sitting and I actually finished both! (I'm a glutton, I know.) Everything is so pretty. The Sugar Brioche I brought home is good too. *dances with joy. Chef Jean Philippe, will you adopt me, so I can forever eat your desserts? <333


Vegas - Beatles Love Trip


Took a trip with CP to go see The Beatles Love at the Mirage. Well, we were supposed to go see Le Reve also, but our planes were delayed. My plane was delayed an hour and CP's plane was 3 hours delayed, so we missed the show. Then the Travel Agent screwed up so we didn't get our hotel *grrr*. So we ended up walking around until we found a place that actually has available room.

The next day, however, got better. Beatles show was wonderful. It's very artistic. I loved a lot of the scenes especially the bubble scene and the underwater part. The only thing that I thought the show lacked was the superb acrobats that Cirque shows seem to be known for. The acrobats in this show weren't as impressive as the other shows I guess. Still, I'm very glad that I went to see the show. It's very whimsical and lovely.


There was a special Cirque De Soliel Sculpture Show at the Bellagio by Richard Macdonald. I remember seeing them in Carmel once. I wanted some of them, but they were like 5 digits >_< (ouch).


Bellagio Christmas Flower Garden. The snowmen are made of flowers :D.


We also went to check out Encore which is an extension of Wynn Hotel. It was GORGEOUS.

Pete's Studio Visit


I went to visit Pete's Studio today. Look at all the sculptures!! He has no life!! All he does is sculpt! It's the holidays, and he's still there! No wonder why he's so good. I need a better work ethics. The gorilla is not finished.. He was like "Noo don't take pictures!!" Geee~~ it already looks good even if it's unfinished.

Phantom & Shabu

This weekend, I went to see Phantom of the Opera with a bunch of friends. There were Derek, CP, Laine, Jen, Andre, and Tabitha. The show itself wasn't as good as I remembered it to be. It felt a lot more like an opera than a musical I guess. The stage and costumes were extravagant. It was still a great trip. We also got to go eat at a yummy Shabu place afterwards. Too bad I don't have any pics from the Phantom because they didn't allow any photographs as usual -_-.

Puppy

Abandoned Puppy that is now official part of the family? I think she's a chihuahua? But her ears are like rabbit ears. Are they normally that long? @_@. She's really skinny, and like half the size of Coco. She's also limping a little sometimes.



Mom decided to name her Mocha :)

Wicked the Musical

I took my dad to watch Wicked at the Pantages Theater. He really enjoyed it, so I was happy. The Pantages theater is gorgeous. Megan Hilty was so funny. She did such a great job as Glinda. There were a lot of funny parts. The script was really well written. They didn't allow photos during the play, so I couldn't take any pictures T_T. Oh, and I love the poster.
