OUR ANNIVERSARY...RUBBED THE RIGHT AND WRONG WAY....

As some of you might know, my husband Fingazz and I have worked tirelessly to keep on the grind in the ever changing entertainment industry over the past years. Him with his music and I with my art, attempting to bridge any gaps the two might have between them.

The last few months have been amazingly busy and exhilarating, especially with the start of our new company MAD COLOUR....and with our anniversary approaching in celebration of 8 years of marriage we were very excited to hit a spa for the first time ever, to celebrate all the moments of the past and unwind for the ones in the future.

PALM SPRINGS HERE WE COME!

With our limited schedule Fingazz was able to book us a day/night at the Las Palmas Rancho Mirage Spa. Even though we would have less than 24 hours to enjoy all the resort promised we were still very excited and optimistic about the relaxation that was in store for us.

schedule : leave home the latest 1 pm
arrive and check in spa before 2pm
2pm couple massage
4pm alonys' facial
dinner and drinks
pool and jacuzzi
whatever the FCK we want to do...WE'RE CELEBRATING 8 YEARS OF MARRIAGE!!!!

Now lets see what really happened....

arrive and check in...check out room really quick....head to spa....

are we in heaven or what? 80 minutes after my first massage I realized the beauty of a good rub down ;0) Why haven't I ever taken part in this oh so necessary ritual? If my massage felt like this what was my facial going to be like? 50 minutes later, I got my answer. AMAZING! I honestly loved the facial more and with the combination there couldn't have been a pinch of stress or anxiety left in my body...

Both Fingazz and I were very happy we made the decision to 'indulge' in the treatments of the Las Palmas...until....

a few cocktails later we decide to return to our room and freshen up for dinner. To our surprise it appears that someone has been in our room while we have been getting our treatments. We find a cup crushed on the floor with napkins stuffed in it outside the double door that connects our room to the guests next door. After careful inspection of our belongings we conclude nothing has been taken, but there still is the unsettling feeling that someone had been in our room. The staff tells us they will figure it out. We decide to get ready for dinner and try and not let this ruin our night or stress us out.

To our disappointment all they offer is a round of complimentary drinks. I guess they figured one drink each would help us forget our unexpected violation. mmmmm NOT SO MUCH! Knowing they "fcked" up for lack of a better word, they come to our table what seems like every 5 minutes and ask "is everything okay here"...can i chew my food please...geez and yes, nothing has changed in the last 5 minutes since you last came.

Dinner was delicious despite the short time frame we had...everything closed at 10pm! Damn what is this! A little buzzed we decide our only choice is to go back to the room....time to RAID THE MINI BAR and go in the pool....

NOT SO MUCH....POOL IS CLOSED! ACCESS DENIED! WOW!

Last option...rent a movie.

ring ring...knock knock.....its 1:30am. We answer the phone, its the front desk..."please open your door, security is at your front door"...

"what?" (Take in mind we are both half asleep)

open the door. "yes sir, we're gonna need you to turn the tv down we have had noise complaints regarding your room".

"ARE YOU FCKIN SERIOUS?!" WOOOOOOW!!!!! By this time I am soooo HOT... what the hell is this!

First off its 130am...second how many times do people usually fall asleep with the tv on, especially in a hotel, ALL THE TIME!

THANK YOU FOR THE 2AM WAKE UP CALL....NOW WE CAN'T GO BACK TO SLEEP!

To put the icing on our Las Palmas Spa cake we get awakened by the 2 Brady Bunch families on either side of us at 7:30 in the morning. Screaming kids, screaming mothers who obviously have NO CONTROL over anything, extremely LOUD television, and what ever else goes alongside having a family vacation at a spa. WHO DOES THAT!

......

Overall I have to say I am happy I had the opportunity to spend some time with my husband for our anniversary. I do have a newfound love for massages and facials and would love to have the opportunity to have them be apart of my life more. I DEFINITELY WILL NEVER EVER EVER GO TO THE Las Palmas Spa. It is like summer school. WAY TOO MANY KIDS FOR ME. Kids are the future and they are great BUT I don't believe they belong at spas. Go to Raging Waters, take advantage of the family discounts to Magic Mountain where kids/families are encouraged to be loud, and its not deemed rude or obnoxious. Save the SPAS for the adults that want to feel like adults and relax without curfew.

My review on Las Palmas....mmmmm I def. don't recommend staying, especially if you only have a day and kids running around isn't your thing. Their problem solving skills def. need some work. If it wasn't for my anniversary and me wanting to look on the bright side I def. would have nothing good to say about my overall stay. Do your self a favor like we are next time....next time we need a rub down we will be keeping it local and heading to the Ivy....Glen Ivy.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY...ITS BEEN AN AMAZING JOURNEY. I LOVE YOU AND AS THIS TRIP CONTINUES TO PROVE "ITS NEVER A DULL MOMENT WITH THE STARYZ"..

MANY ALONYS KISSES.

MANY ALONYS KISSES.

NY STATE OF MIND....

I wish to take you on a journey that I believe everyone should take at least once if possible...NYC. I always heard alonys you will LOVE New York. Alonys, I can't believe you've never been to New York was often said in conversation. I sit here now proud to say I have been to the city and I love it very much. We were fortunate to experience different parts of New York either by foot, cab, or courtesy of our friends T-Weaponz (IZ,ARK,and PSALMS). It truly was an amazing experience.

I tried to take notes as I often attempt to do while traveling. After a few too many hangovers the details start to fade away....good times...good times.

Our trip started at midnight...I really did have to pinch myself a couple times while boarding the plane. It didn't seem real WE WERE FINALLY GOING TO NYC! Fingazz and I always wanted to go, and we finally were about to have that moment.

........

No trip can begin without a drink at the airport before your flight. Unfortunately the only place available served beer exclusively and just our luck it was flat . I almost wished I hadn't given into the temptation. Too late. I have committed and the only thing that will redeem this moment is a vodka tonic on the plane. Drink up.

I thought I would be tired when we arrived at JFK, but I was just too excited to sleep. We really were in New York City. Next destination, our hotel.

To Be Continued....

THERE'S MUCH MUCH MORE BUT I MUST CONTINUE AT A LATER TIME...MY ESPRESSO IS WEARING OFF....ENJOY THE PICS....

UNTIL ANOTHER MOMENT IN TIME.....MANY ALONYS KISSES.

MANY ALONYS KISSES.

MEET THE CAST: FINGAZZ ON THA' TRACK, MALIK FILMZ, DIAMONIQUE A.K.A QUEEN OF THE WEST, DJ HI-NOTE, AND MYSELF...ALONYS.ART. WE'LL MEET THE REST OF THE CAST LATER.

FINISH THAT DRINK..ITS BOARDING TIME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! 3RD TIME MUST BE A CHARM BECAUSE THE FLIGHT FELT LIKE 5-6 HOURS LONG EASILY, INSTEAD OF THE FULL 11.


WE MADE IT! JAPAN WE HAVE ARRIVED! AND DAMN ITS COLD!!!! ;0(
I WAS HAPPY TO SEE 50 AND KEVIN...THE REST OF OUR CAST. IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE ONLY 4 MONTHS PRIOR WE ALL WERE AT THE SAME AIRPORT IN NARITA FOR THE FIRST TOUR. BETTER THAN DEJA VU...IT REALLY WAS HAPPENING AGAIN. I STILL PINCHED MYSELF.

THE FIRST STOP ON THE TOUR WAS THE CITY OF HIRATSUKA. WE ARRIVED 3 HOURS LATER AFTER LEAVING THE AIRPORT. AFTER CHECKING INTO THE HOTEL EVERYONE CHANGED AND GOT READY FOR DINNER. I WAS TOO EXHAUSTED AND DECIDED TO STAY AND REST AT THE HOTEL. I WAS SAD I MISSED THE FIRST DINNER OF THE TOUR. I HEARD IT WAS OISHI, AND EVERYONE HAD TO TAKE THEIR SHOES OFF IN THE RESTAURANT. WE ATTEMPTED TO GO AGAIN, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED. MAYBE NEXT TIME.

HIRATSUKA WAS HOME OF THE FIRST NIGHTCLUB. WE STOPPED HERE 2ND THE LAST TOUR. SHOW TIME IN JAPAN IS TYPICALLY AROUND 2:30 OR 3 AM....JUST THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF HOME. IN HIRATSUKA DJ HI-NOTE GOT THE CHANCE TO SPIN A SET. IT WAS TIGHT. DON WON'S "DRINK UP" AND MEECH'S "DON'T HATE" BANGED LOUD IN THE SPEAKERS. THE V.I.P. WAS STOCKED WITH GREEN TEA, SHOCHU, AND CIGARETTE SMOKE FLOATED LIKE CLOUDS ABOVE OUR HEADS...I PREFERABLY SMOKED SEVEN STAR, CURRENTLY MY FAVORITE JAPANESE CIGARETTE. DJ FILLMORE AND RAPPER DESTINO WERE AROUND TO CHILL WITH THE WEST COAST CREW AND SHOWED MAD MAD LOVE!!! LUCKY FOR US THE CLUB WAS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE HOTEL....THE 6TH FLOOR VENDING MACHINE WAS DEF. A FAVORITE! 24/7 SUPER CHU-HI!!!!!!


THIS IS WHERE SOME OF MY "EARLY/LATE" MORNING MEMORIES BECOME "FUZZY". I BELIEVE IT WAS IN HIRATSUKA WE WENT TO THE 7 ELEVEN OR LAWSONS EARLY MORNING AND DID OUR BEATLES "ABBEY" PICTURE. THAT PICTURE IS PRICELESS. A MOMENT TO NOT BE FORGOTTEN. I STILL HAVE TO GET A COPY FROM HI-NOTE. THE iPHONE TAKES AMAZING PICTURES!

I BELIEVE OUR CHIBA EARLY MORNING EPISODE CONSISTED OF A McDONALDS RUN. MOS BURGER WAS OUR FIRST CHOICE, BUT WOULDN'T BE OPEN UNTIL 730AM, 30 MINUTES TO LONG FOR US TO WAIT. BY THE WAY MOS BURGER KICKS MICKEY D ASS, BUT I DO HAVE TO MENTION THAT HI-NOTE DID FIND THE HEALTHY McWRAP AT McDONALDS.

IN CHIBA WE WENT BOWLING, MET AMAZING FANS, AND ENJOYED ITALIAN FOOD. IT WAS THE WORST GAME I EVER BOWLED, BUT THE BEST LOOKING BOWLING SHOES I'VE EVER WORN! AIR HOCKEY AGAINST DIAMONIQUE, MAN WAS SHE GOOD! I LOVE A GOOD AIR HOCKEY COMPETITOR.

AT THE CHIBA SHOW BACKSTAGE WE MET JAPANESE SINGER YUUKI FLAVA, AND FEMALE DJ CHISATO. DJ FILLMORE AND DESTINO WERE IN THE HOUSE, ROCKING THE SHOW....OUR SHOW TIME WAS AT 3AM, PRIME CLUB TIME! MORE SHOCHU, GREEN TEA, SEVEN STARS, AND GOOD TIMES. IT WAS THE 2ND SHOW, WE WERE DEFINITELY READY TO PARTY!

IN CHIBA OUR HOTEL ROOM WAS ON THE 6TH FLOOR AND ACROSS THE FROM THE TRAIN STATION. THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE ON THE STREET. YOUNG, OLD, MALE, OR FEMALE, AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT. I LOVE HOW SAFE IT FEELS, ESPECIALLY AS A WOMAN.

IN OUR DOWN TIME WE VISITED SHIBOYA AND ITS BEAUTIFUL LIGHTS, HIGH FASHION SHOPS, AND FASHIONABLE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. AS WE ARRIVED AND WALKED DOWN THE STREET WE HEARD A FINGAZZ TALKBOX SONG PLAYING IN THE DISTANCE, COMING FROM A STORE. THAT WAS HELLA TIGHT! WE HAD THE CHANCE TO GO TO TOWER RECORDS. IT WAS 6 FLOORS. EACH GENRE OF MUSIC HAD ITS OWN FLOOR THAT YOU GOT TO BY ESCALATOR. ARTISTS KEVIN MICHAEL AND JAPANESE GROUP ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION WERE HIGHLY PROMOTED. I CHECKED OUT ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION ON LASTFM.COM...ITS AN ALTERNATIVE ROCK BAND. I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO GIVE IT A SECOND LISTEN. JANET AND MICHAEL PROJECTS, ALONG WITH THE NEW ERYKAH BADU ALBUM WAS HIGHLY VISIBLE FOR PURCHASE. THE ARTWORK FOR HER NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING! I WAS HAPPY TO SEE A VERY CREATIVE APPROACH TO AN ALBUM COVER. BEFORE LEAVING TOWER I COULDN'T HELP BUYING A BOOK TITLED 'LADY SOUL' TO ACCOMPANY MY JAPANESE VOGUE, ELLE, GLAMOUROUS, AND LOOKS! MAGAZINES.

WHILE IN JAPAN WE RE-VISITED THE HOMIE BRAND STORE. I ENJOYED A RED BULL AND VODKA AT THE BAR. WE WERE GIVEN CUSTOM HOMIE BRAND SHOCHU, WHICH WAS PERFECT FOR THE AFTER PARTY! THOUGH I'VE GOTTEN BETTER AT DARTS, I DIDN'T END UP PLAYING AT THE STORE. NEXT TIME. WE MET CHOLO WHO IS A 13 YEAR OLD RAPPER. SOOOO CUTE! HE GAVE US A 'SNEAK PREVIEW' PERFORMANCE IN THE STORE OF HIS SONG HE WAS GONNA PERFORM AT THE SHOW THAT NIGHT. IT WAS PRICELESS! HE LATER DID AN INTERVIEW WITH FINGAZZ IN OUR HOTEL LOBBY. I OF COURSE KEPT THE CHU-HI FLOWING AND THE SEVEN STARS BLOWING....

THE MOST 'AMERICAN' EXPERIENCE I HAD WAS WHEN WE WENT TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE CITIES, YOKOHAMA. 50 CALIBER TOOK US TO A CLUB NEAR THE MILITARY BASE. IT REMINDED ME OF SAN DIEGO SOOOO MUCH...ANYONE REMEMBER BLUE TATTOO? IS THAT PLACE STILL AROUND?! IT WAS THE FIRST PLACE THAT ONLY SERVED AMERICAN ALCOHOLIC DRINKS. THERE WAS A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE BY SOME DANCERS FROM MISSY ELLIOT VIDEOS. AFTERWARDS THE CROWD WENT WILD TO CHING-A-LING. ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKED ABOUT THIS CLUB THAT A LOT OF JAPANESE CLUBS HAVE ARE LOCKERS FOR YOUR PERSONAL ITEMS. HOW CONVENIENT!!!

I KNOW I'M FORGETTING SOME MOMENTS, BUT I WILL SHARE THEM AS THEY COME BACK TO ME.

ONCE AGAIN I ENJOYED THE FOOD. ONE OF MY FAVORITES THIS TRIP WAS TACO RICE. YUMMY! OIISHI! AND I COULD EAT IT WITH A SPOON! I STILL HAVE TO MASTER EATING WITH CHOPSTICKS. WE ALSO BECAME REGULARS AT THE GROCERY STORE IN SAITAMA. THERE WERE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOOD, I'D NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THE FRUIT WAS THE JUICIEST, SWEETEST, AND BIGGEST I'VE EVER SEEN. THE STRAWBERRIES WERE SOOOO GOOD AND THE PINEAPPLE TOO. THE GRAPES WERE HUGE!

THE V.I.P. IN SAITAMA WAS COOL AND THE FANS WERE DEFINITELY READY TO PARTY IN THIS CITY. THIS IS HOME TO THE BE FREE STORE, AND THE SAITAMA SHOW WAS TO CELEBRATE THEIR 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

AFTER THE STUDIO SESSION WITH POPULAR JAPANESE RAPPER BIG RON IN CHIBA WE EXPERIENCED KARAOKE JAPANESE STYLE. I POPPED MY 'KARAOKE CHERRY' WITH THE SONG 'ITS THE BEAT' BY SMD (SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO) AND ATTEMPTED TO B/U DIAMONIQUE ON LAURYN HILL. FINGAZZ AND I ENDED THE NIGHT WITH 'ENDLESS LOVE' AND I FOUND OUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW THAT SONG! LMAO.

WE'VE ALL RETURNED HOME AND LEFT OUR JET LAG DAYS BEHIND. I DEFINITELY FELT MY JET LAG THIS TIME. AT THE AIRPORT AS WE LEFT 50 CALIBER AND KEVIN AT THE GATE, I KEPT LOOKING BACK WITH FEELINGS OF SADNESS CONSUMING ME AS I WALKED THROUGH THE INSPECTION LINES. NO MORE GENKI, ARIGATO GOZAIMASU, KUDASAI, OR SAYONARA...UNTIL THE NEXT MOMENT IN TIME...

ARIGATO JAPAN
WITH MANY ALONYS KISSES.
