Si turns 25 and Aaron says Goodbye

Si's mom, Simone, was gracious enough to get Si a hotel room for her birthday and so the three of us packed up our overnight bags and headed for the Marriott Courtyard. The hotel was somewhat new and modern and it actually reminded me a lot of the Sheraton Downtown in Phoenix. The room was beautiful and fitted with a great view of the city and more importantly, a full shower. I think each of us took a full 30 minute rotation and then we started drinking and getting ready for the theme of the night: Korean F.O.B. Now I had never heard this term before so for those who are sitting there banging your head against the keyboard, it stands for Fresh Off the Boat. We busted out our best Korean attire to reflect only what we see on a regular basis and the breakdown was as follows:

*Paulina sported a full ivory ballerina skirt, black racer tank top, gold bling, and gladiator sandals. Her finishing touch was a sports cap with black curls cascading down her back.

*Sionna played the cute card with a giant silver sequence bow on her head, a green ruffly top, black shorts, and high black socks. She was a gem.

*I wore a black bedazzled long sleeve shirt (which I like to call my ice skater shirt), a vest, the shortest mini skirt I could find, and black socks that went past my knees. The final detail was the non-matching yellow flower hair band around my wrist.

We hit up the Hongdae scene which was nearby and met up with the Incheon crew as it was also Aaron's going away party. We drank and danced well into the early morning, I "fell" out of a window, bought many sticks of chicken - "Hana not spicy juseyo!", and we said our last goodbyes to Aaron as he heads back to Brooklyn in a few days. I do regret not spending enough time with him, but it was damn fun while it lasted. I'm already looking forward to hitting him up in his hood someday soon! Overall, it was another great night!
