Vegas

The look on Leina's face was classic!

Funky dance & Ninja fight video!

Random shots

Ninja vs Kung Fu Monks!!

Charlston always said he wanted a Ninja themed wedding but Sayaka said no way. While in Vegas I jokingly mentioned to Sayaka that they should have Ninja vs Kung Fu (bride's Japanese, groom's Chinese), and she actually did it as a surprise for Charlston. Definitely the highlight of the reception.

Wedding cont.

The girls working hard at reception table. Group shot. Mother and daughter piano performance. Bouquet toss. A shot with the newly weds.

Charlston & Sayaka's wedding

One of the coolest weddings ever attended, complete with Disney/Star Wars entrance music, funky first dance, and Ninja fights!!

Additional Vegas shots

The newly weds, Mr. & Mrs. Yamamoto at the Le Village Buffet at Paris Casino after the ceremony. Can't really tell from this pic, but the groom was super sick on the big day, "nose running like a faucet" was how he described it, and was on 3 different medications.

Casio Exilim Ex-S3

Found my old Casio Exilim Ex-S3, the first digital camera I've ever owned. Back in the days when a small 3mp camera was the coolest thing ever.

Random street shots

Expensive dinner

Went to Gallagher's restaurant at New York New York, tried the Dry Aged New York Sirloin, and some wine, came out to almost $100. Steak was big, but a little tough.

Stratosphere rides

The rides atop of the Stratosphere, rode all three, the Big shot (vertical ride) was the best.

Paris Hotel & Casino

View from my room at Paris, unfortunately the view to the Bellagio's water show is blocked by the Eiffel Tower.

Bombardier Spyder

Saw this on the road today, at first thought it was an ATV, but it only had 3 wheels, neat looking vehicle. It's the Bombardier Spyder (had to look it up).

P90X week 1

Finished one week of workout using P90X routines (4 sessions, 30 minute each). Went to the gym once during the week, my abs are noticeably stronger than before. Gained 2 pounds of muscle weight, and feeling much fitter than before. Will continue to mix it with gym workouts and try to keep this up, it's definitely not an easy workout routine.

Ricky's bachelor party

Stopped briefly at Ricky's bachelor party before heading to Downtown bars. Another buddy got him a blow up sheep doll that goes meh when you tap it's a$$. Laid back party, no stripper (kinda disappointed). We're all flying to Vegas next week for the ceremony, VEGAS!!

Was chatting up with the hot bartender before the guys got there, might have to go back to the bar to see her again.
