I gave Nadya my Vivienne Westwood bracelet and she took the charm off of it and turned it into a necklace and it’s so cute and adorable . She sent me many photos of herself, I loved the creativity she had to turn it into something else, why didn’t I think of that ? 

Yesterday I invited her to meet me for lunch at a new dumpling place but when we arrived it was closed permanently, even though I just saw an ad for it on instagram . So we got a sandwich from “Bread” across the street and went to my balcony to eat it .

Lisa told me her friends are going to see Jimmy Carr and asked if I want to join, “Jimmy Carr is here in Bali ?! WHERE ?” I replied in disbelief and furled eyebrows . I will admit I am not giving credit to Bali for being a proper destination, I don’t realize that big music and comedy acts stop here, it’s my assumption it doesn’t have a structure that can hold that size of a performance, shame on me for not giving credit to Bali and it’s global impact and development .

“I would love to go” I said . Before we go into her friend’s house, this big house in a gated community we were arguing…. again :/ Before we walked in she stopped me and said, “can we bury the hatchet before we go in ?”

“Absolutely not” I replied without looking at her . But then I walked in the home and turned on my politeness level to 100 and rubbed her back as we talked to her mates . She turned to me when they weren’t looking and shook her head while giving me a squinted eye smile . I was torturing her but to be fair - she’s always doing it to me .

Her friends were a wealthy real estate couple and the four of us got into a van driven by their personal driver I think . We arrived early and had beers at a coffee shop, I think it was a Starbucks, yes, having beers at a Starbucks…

30 minutes later we enter a convention center like building attached to a mall . Most of the crowd were older ex pats I think . The venue was a big auditorium w/ padded fold out seats . To be honest, he’s not really my style of comedy, it’s a series of ultra fast rapid 15 second jokes w/ punchlines, not much storytelling or anticipation . But I had fun just seeing him and being w/ Lisa .

Later the 4 of us, plus another couple go to Da Maria for dinner . I absolutely HATE eating at dinners that turn into night clubs… because it makes the dinner worse and the party worse, just separate the two ! Also after eating I want to join everyone dancing, especially because I have had so many memories here meeting girls and boys - I’m getting fomo watching them .

There was a Korean guy live streaming himself at the bar, the whole iPhone w/ tripod and wires deal . I said, “let’s go behind him and start making out” . She nods willingly and we start messing around in the back of his shot, even though it was my idea, I become a bit shy and am the first one to pull away . What a lovely night <3

I received a message from a while two weeks ago from a person I didn’t know asking me about modeling and how to get into the industry, something like that . He told me we met earlier at Peele’s but I met a lot of people there so I wasn’t sure . I replied and forgot about it . This night at Klymax he introduced himself to me in the smoking room and told me it was him who sent the message, I replied warmly and we talked for 5 minutes while we chain-smoked against the blue walls . Cute kid from Pakistan w/ a cool shirt on .

He had a beautiful Asian girlfriend that I thought was really pretty, he told me she was from Norway . The three of us danced for quite a while . I offer to buy them both drinks and as I pay he puts cash in my pocket, I tried to give it back and we ended up roughhousing over who keeps the cash at the bar . It was a sweet gesture of him nonetheless . It took a lot of bravery to send that message that he did, and I respect it . I can see us having a friendship after tonite .

In the smoking area Cat and I were talking . I saw two  young girls against the wall . One was wearing a Vivienne Westwood necklace .

“Hmmm I could use that as an opener” I thought to myself…

Cat saw me looking while the gears in my head were turning, she sighed as she said, “You want to talk to them don’t you ?”

“Yes I do” I said immediately .

I got up and walked over to them, I told the girl I noticed her necklace and then showed her my jewelry as well from the brand . I introduced myself and then we got to know each other . Her friend does nails, really cool artwork . Both were talking about wanting a drink but that it was too expensive .

“Let’s get you girls some drinks then, it’s on me, c’mon” I then motioned for us to go back inside . I don’t mind buying people drinks here because it’s 8 or 9$, in America is 23-27$, which is ridiculous . I was just trying to be sweet and polite but I can see how I could be annoying . I’m just trying to meet people is all .

I learned the Vivienne Westwood girl is named Maya, and she would actually become a significant person in my life . I was stuck on her like glue for 20-30 minutes, filming her dancing and taking pictures of her . She had such an forgettable youthful and sweet smile, something i can imagine even right now :)

Ed throws a dinner party and invites me over . He’s so well traveled and cultured so I know he will have some interesting friends that I am excited to meet . But nothing could have prepared me for his house, he literally has the best and most beautifully built house in Bali . Epic on a scale I haven’t seen, designed on a level I haven’t seen . Who is Ed ?! Obviously he is wealthy, but it’s not really my business to ask .

We all eat Indonesian food that he had delivered . I wouldn’t want to eat any other kind on this night, must be local, must be special ! I swam in his pool and again I thanked Cat for introducing him to me, again I’m so lucky to know her, I can’t imagine this trip without her . I stay until the sun goes down and it looks even better than . Slow hot wind, dark blue sky… and this house of course - just perfection . Thank you Ed :)
