Pretty cool vending machine at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. We don’t have anything like it here at Mid-Continent.

After a delicious NYE dinner at Grotto, Brian and I spent the rest of the evening back and forth between Fremont Street and Gold Diggers. We spent some time in our room too, doing our NYE tradition.

Some people toast and kiss at the stroke of midnight, we do a little bit more. That’s our thing, though. That’s how we normally ring in the New Year. LOL.

This time since we were in Pacific time, we got to ring in the New Year twice. When it was midnight in Kansas, Brian and I did our traditional NYE celebration. Just the two of us. In private. When it was midnight in Vegas, we did our champagne toast and kisses at Gold Diggers. That was Brian’s idea.

I actually kind of like being able to celebrate twice. I specially like our NYE tradition. That’s one tradition I want to keep doing for years and years to come. 😉

Do We Look Alike?

It’s my biological father’s birthday today! Happy Birthday!

It’s a little weird because I’m not quite sure what to call him. I’ve only spent time with him twice in my entire life. Once in 1999. He sent me airline tickets to visit him and his family who were living in California at the time. And then New Year’s Eve 2010. They live in Las Vegas now, where they moved back in 2000 when they left California. They live about five minutes from The Strip.

Fredo seems like a cool, fun guy. I actually found out that we have a few things in common like we are both yungit (can’t say words with the letter “r” but I mostly only have this problem when I’m speaking Tagalog or Cebuano not so much in English, fortunately) and we both enjoy playing chess. My half brother Adel likes to play chess also and is pretty good at it.

Adel played against both me and Brian. He lost against me, but won against Brian. He initially wanted a rematch, but I was afraid I would lose the second time around so I had him play against Brian instead. 😉

Naturally, I lost when I played against Fredo. Adel said he is very good at chess, but I wanted to try anyway. We only played once so I’m looking forward to a rematch. I think if I play him a few more times I can take him. LOL.

I really liked the mall decorations. They were neat. We didn’t do any shopping. We just mostly walked around and window-shopped.
