Clubbin' at 33!!! (Photo Heavy Post)

"It's a small world after all..."

Yes, for most, if not all of us, the lyrics to that famous song is one that we have all experienced at one time or another in our lives, at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland!

This past Saturday, Helen, Aaron and myself were invited by our good friend Jim, to go to Disneyland's uber-exclusive Club 33, located in New Orleans square. It was my second time there, but each time is such a treat! (Click on the link to find out more about why it is so exclusive!)

There's too much for me to say about the evening, so I'll let the photos themselves do the talking for me.

(Note: all images have been downsized and reduced in quality for internet purposes. I've had some "photo theft" happen to me lately, so I'm not putting up high quality versions - sorry!)

Legend has it that the vulture on the right was supposed to be an audio-animatronic version where Walt Disney himself would talk through to entertain his VIP guests. (Located in the Trophy Room)

The display cabinet filled with Club 33 goodies you can buy (and sell on e-bay!)


Allastair - our waiter and LEGEND at the Club. If you ever get to go, he's the best! Seriously!


The hallway leading to the main dining room.

Aaron holding our uber-expensive bill. Yikes!


Aaron striking a GQ pose at the fireplace next to our table. Note the "hey ladies, I'm at Club 33" expression on his face.



The Main Dining room area. This is where you want to eat cause it overlooks New Orleans square and the Rivers of America. Hard to get a reservation here, but we did! Thanks Jim!


Helen and I with the Club 33 menu.


Aaron and I contemplating "borrowing" these items for use on e-bay.

After having spent the evening with great friends and food (as we all should do!), we were treated to the rare opportunity of walking back to the entrance of DL with the park empty, save for a few security guards and other late stragglers. I had never experienced this before in all my years at the park, and it was an awesome thing to do. Strolling down main street with no one around you. You bet I took pictures, but I am only posting this one.


When have you ever seen Main street this empty?

I'm still recovering from the great food we had saturday, but in the mean time, I'm in a show! Check out Goldstar.com for "Holiday Fever" in it's 4th year. It's happening at the Secret Rose theater in North Hollywood and we run from Nov. 28 till Dec. 20, 2008, Thursday through Saturday at 8:00pm. It's a fun show, great acting and singing, and you get to see me in a unitard. Yikes.

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday everyone if I don't talk to you till then.

A New World



YEAH BOY!

As you know, today is the day after the US Presidential elections, and thank God Barack Obama won! I'm not one for politics really, nor am I someone who would push my views upon others, but hey, the BEST candidate one, and we can all believe and hope again for a better future! Nuff said! Hopefully, you all had a chance to see the following photo firsthand yesterday, and if you didn't, don't complain if things don't work out the way you figured it should!

Okay, I know it has been a solid month since my last entry (which was one of my favorites BTW, for that one swelled with Filipino pride, as the above swells with USA pride.) Since then I've finished building up my new speed-weapon, the Cervelo P2C (she's a beaut!), attended a photo-workshop (images to come), and witnessed history! That's a pretty good number of things to have done! Oh, not to mention having dressed up as Billy Idol for my buddy's "Rock Band" Halloween party last week, rebel yell baby! I'm behind on all the posts, but I'll try to finish strong for the rest of the year.

Anyway, here's a photo of my new baby (in the most figurative sense possible!)

She's not for rent BTW. Looks fast though doesn't she?

Before I leave, just wanted to let everyone know to check out a few things happening this month.
