Good Friday

Last night after work I went to Tampa with my Dad, sister, brother-in-law, and two friends (Cliff and Kristina). We went to Hard Rock Casino. I forgot to bring my camera so I wasn't able to take pictures (no worries though because we are already scheduled to come back by the end of May and I'll make sure to bring my camera with me).

We left our house at around 6:00 PM. The drive from Jacksonville to Tampa is three and a half hours so my sister rented two movies from Rentbox. We watched "Bride Wars" on our way to Tampa. I've already seen the movie before so I feel like sleeping to have some energy once we arrive at the casino but I could not sleep so I ended up watching the movie again...hahaha. I did have some laughs and it kept me occupied.

When we arrived in the casino, my brother-in-law and Cliff went to the poker room while my Dad went into the Baccarat table to play his usual game (lucky 9 in layman's term). Kristina, my sister and I went to the front desk to sign up for the Player's Club Wild Card. The guest service rep asked me if I like red, blue or green for my card tag... I chose the green tag because to me it symbolizes the color of money. ;)

my "Wild Card"

After getting our "Wild Card," my sister followed my Dad to make sure he is not gambling all his fortune (she's my Dad's guard for the night). Me and Kristina played the slot machine. After thirty minutes in the slot machine (I already lost $20..waah!), Kristina and I went to the Baccarat table to check on my Dad. He's actually winning...yahoo!

About an hour more, my Dad suggested that we eat dinner in the casino food court. Since my Dad won 600 bucks, he treated us to dinner. I ordered sweet and sour chicken with fried rice; however, it was only 11:40 PM and technically I'm still not allowed to eat meat but I couldn't wait any longer, my tummy were already growling (I felt bad though afterwards). Just when we were about finish eating, my brother-in-law and Cliff came out of the poker room (they both lost)...to cheer them up, my Dad treat them to dinner too. :D

At around 1:00 AM we left the casino and head back home. On our way home, we watched the other movie "Hereafter" starring Matt Damon. I've only watched the first 10 minutes of the movie because I was so sleepy, I couldn't keep my eyes open. When I woke up it was past 4 AM and we were almost home plus I have a stiffed neck....youch!
