My 30th Birthday at Ixtapa Cantina

by Melissa Cruz on March 4, 2010

me5I am officially out of my 20s, I never thought I would ever be 30.The last 10 years flew by so fast.   The last two months before my 30th birthday, I was dreading the day to be 30.  I went into somewhat of a depression thinking about it.  I know 30 is not old but I guess because I was no longer going to be able to say I was 20 something, it hit me.

About a week before my birthday I had a change of heart and was actually really excited to be hitting my thirties. My friends are amazing and were excited to be able to celebrate with me. A few friends and I got a room at the Hilton Hotel in Pasadena for my special day on February 27.  At night we celebrated at Ixtapa Cantina in Pasadena.  I had never been to Ixtapa and was a little worried that if my friends came late they would not be getting in. Most of my close friends came out to celebrate and we all just had a BLAST!!!!  Although, some people were not able to make it and one was turned away at the door for dress code, all turned out great.  I did lose my camera that night but called Ixtapa the next day and they had it in the lost and found, thank goodness. :)   Everything worked out and it was the best birthday I have EVER had.

I’m so lucky and happy to have positive and amazing friends in my life.  I’m really excited for what the future holds and can’t wait to celebrate and welcome my other close friends into the dirty thirties :)  me11me13me14

Ice House is Funny but not Nice!

by Melissa Cruz on February 25, 2010

Last Thursday night, I went to The IceHouse Comedy Club in Pasadena, CA. This was my first time attending this Comedy Club. The host at the front door was very nice in assisting my friends and I in the club.  Tickets are very reasonably priced, $12.50 a person. This venue has a two drink minimum and are reasonably priced and to top it off, super strong!

As we were seated we had a waiter come up to us and take our drink and food order.  They make you order your 2nd drink at the time they take your first order. Everything was going well until we are about two comedians into the show and we still did not have food or drinks. My friend had asked another

waiter that was serving food, where her food was and he said, “I’m not your waiter,” then walked away.  I am a stickler for customer service and I hate when service is crap.  The waiter could have been a bit more polite in answering back rather than giving a snappy answer. Although, within a minute our waiter brought my friend’s food out.

We are now about half way through the show and our drinks finally come out. There were about 4 comedians before the main comedian.  The last show opener was hilarious, although, i don’t recall his name.  The best part of the whole show was the main act, Darren Carter.  I had never heard of this comedian before Thursday.  I liked him so much that I bought, a t-shirt, DVD and thongs that say, “Darren Carter, the party starter.”  Although, I dont think I bought them because I enjoyed him so much, I think it was those dam strong drinks that made me do it!!!!  I would rate this place an A.  If it was not for that mean waiter and late drinks, I would give it an A+.

My favorite 2010 Super Bowl commercial

February 8, 2010

This year I didn’t really have a favorite to win the Super Bowl. I like Reggie Bush so I figured I would go for the underdogs, The New Orleans Saints. Besides the pools, I love the Super Bowl for the ads.  My favorite commercial was by Doritos - Don’t talk to my momma
