The original plans to celebrate my birthday was Karaoke, but in Gagopa. I called a week and half ago in advance to reserve a room. I called again on the day of, as a just in case let me make sure my shit is together. I was completely unsatisfied with what I was hearing from the other side of the phone.
The lady is explaining to me that a room for 30 people under my name was never reserved. I nicely explain my situation to her. I had called, book a room and it was confirmed by one of her employees. She had no record of such thing. She’s the only person that is able to pick up the phone.That’s when I started to get nasty.
” I did my part and called the time I was supposed and booked my room. A man picked up and confirmed my room. The way you carry your business is not my my problem. Obviously you have people picking up the phone that are not supposed to be. So what you need to do, is either find me a room or refer somewhere else.”
According to her, that wouldn’t be possible on her part. It’s not her job to refer her competitor. Oh, you guys know damn well that was not gonna go down. ” Let me tell you something, I could care less what your job is right now, you guys are obviously not doing your job right in the first place. Refer me somewhere else. I’m not satisfied, and until I am, I would not leave you alone. It’s in your benefit that I’m happy. I have 30 something people that are going to bombard YOUR lobby in about 2 hours, asking for ME. So i suggest you put your pride to the side and make me happy. Trust me, I would call you 100 times and more if I have to and disturb your business, you know you have no choice to pick up the phone anyway.”
As soon as she gave up some names, I finally booked a room at Karaoke Duet 48. Sent massive texts, twitter posts. Facebook statuses and instagram posts of the last minute change of plans. I was stressed out and needless to say, running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.
Kat, Zero and I rushed to the new spot and made it right on time for our booked room with people already waiting for me. My bestfriend from middle school was there and I couldn’t be happier. We always try to stay in touch and it gets a bit difficult with us living our lives and all. Isn’t she a cutie!?
I know my mother was happy to see her. We used to spend everyday together, taking turns in each other houses after school. Talking about all of our crushes, running around playing red light green light one two three. Ah! good times =]
I introduced the middle school bestfriend to the highschool/current bestfriend and they got along great =] I was so pleased.
It didn’t take long for us to start ordering a few drinks and start the singing. Everything from Eminem, to Girls just wanna have fun to Ghetto superstar! hahahah you can thank Kim for that one!
Of course I had to put some Salt n Pepa and Shoop it up.
I have to say I’m truly blessed with wonderful friends who have over time become like family to me. Not to mention that my mom showed up and looked awesome!
We all headed outside and it was flashes everywhere. Ari did great taking all these pics I don’t know how this site does it without her.
Oh, and like I’ve been doing lately, a tiny bootleg sketch of my outfit =]
