LAWRY'S PRIME RIB EXPERIENCE

The whole day yesterday was dedicated to celebrate Nate's achievement on passing the LVN State Boards. We've all been awaiting this night the entire week, and finally we can now saw that we all have a fascinating experience.

First off, me and the boys played another set of SCRABULOUS. I already forgot who one, or even lost! Probably me again. It was such a lazy day. Then we had a nice lunch at CAPITAL SEAFOOD RESTAURANT in Rowland Heights. Parking was a bitch as always. Nate even flicked this one dude off cuz he didn't let us pass. People can be so blah nowadays! Anyhoo, lunch was delicious as always at that place! I love chinese broccolli.

Then we headed back home chilled again. A lot of "doing nothings" this weekend. We all got into the whole WHO WANTS TO BE THE NEXT DOLL shindig on MTV. Well, it was the first time for my mom and christie to watch that. So basically, they were pretty much into it.

Evening came along, and we all decided to attend mass at ST. DENNIS in Diamond Bar. It was a really pretty church. I even took a picture of the waterfall outside the main entrance.

It was funny because instead of sitting in the actual part of the church, we ended up seating in those little rooms that were meant for babies to cry in. We basically watched mass through a huge window.

After mass, we headed to WHISKEY BARREL in Walnut and I bought some lotto tickets. One for saturday and one for tuesday. (yes i believe that one day I could have a few extra million dollars! (Later turns out that none of my numbers for saturday was drawn darnit!)

We got home, got all dressed up and cute-ified! I wore all black. I don't have a particular reason, I just felt like wearing all black could represent my simplicity for the evening. We took two cars: the Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor and the Infinite G35. Hey, gotta represent ourselves somehow, right?!

Anyhoo. The venue was pretty. My first impression was WTF because as we all got out of our car (its valet only), we noticed all these young teenagers coming out of the restaurant. I swear they looked as if they were just 16 or 17, having one of them celebrate a birthday. Well, as we were waiting for our table, the valet dude pulled up a BENTLEY coupe. All I know is that a)that car costs over $100,000 and b)the owner must make bank! So yeah, guess who claims that car..one of those darn teenagers! Seriously, I thought I lived a blingy life as a young teen with my benz, but now I have nothing on that!

Dinner itself was amazing. I started off the celebration by announcing a toast in recognizing Nate, our celebrant. I basically mentioned and reminded everyone why we were there, to celebrate the Deuce on passing the boards. It was so great seeing everyone there all happy and proud, especially my mom.

Now for what we actually ate, I ordered the Lawrys Cut, which at first, I thought was going to be too fullfilling for me. I mean, you get the actual prime rib, which is already gynormous! And then you also get the mashed potatoes with gravy, but the best part was the cream of corn! That made everything so much better! Heres what it looks like.

We all knew we were quite full, especially Honeylyn, but you can't have a complete dinner without dessert! So, afer pondering through the dessert menu, we all made up our minds. Nate ordered the creme brulee and I ordered the Haagan Daaz hot fudge ice cream. That was delicous, even though it could be tricky, because most of the top of bowl was covered with whipped cream (making it seam like its all ice cream when it wasnt).

So we were all happy by the end of the night. How much was the dinner? Lets just say it was well worth it. I believe it was in the mid $300s. We even took some home.

After dinner, we drove to West Covina to go visit Candyl at work. Well actually, since she were to get out at midnight lastnight, Nate just wanted to surprise her and make sure that she got to her car safely. Something a nice bf would do. I mean, its West Covina! We got home, late night, and a good dinner. That was a great family-time saturday.

Oh and Minji came over to borrow my blue sleeping bag. (Random)
