Affordable Prom Dresses And Gowns

Last Thursday my daughter came home to attend an interview which was held on Friday morning. And her interview lasted till noon and I was thinking that we could have lunch together after that. But no, she has her own plans, in fact her schedule was very tight because she had to attend the prom night in a hotel that evening.  After her interview, she went to pick up one of her friends and both of them went for dress hunting and some other musical drum cases for their project.  Oh my goodness, at the very last minute, she wanted to get some shopping done!

Normally last minute shopping does not end up having the dress that you really want or like.  True enough, she bought home a dress that did not lift up to its expectation, the workmanship was so poorly done, I was so shocked to see the lining was sewn up so badly that one side is shorter than the other.  Oh my goodness, I was so disappointed and we made a trip back to the shop to get it done there and then.  But of course, the shop owner does not accept last minute alterations and because of that, my girl had to get it done up somewhere else.  Well, I couldn't blame her, she was in a rush that she did not look carefully on the seams and workmanship and due to my fractured leg, I could not go shopping with her.

Then the next evening she had to attend a friend's wedding dinner and she did not want to wear the same prom dress again for that evening.  Instead she looked through her closet and found a black tight fitting dress to wear for now.  And since she is going to buy a few more dresses for the festive season, I quickly browsed through some online websites which offers beautiful and  dresses for her age.  I am sure she will love this lovely blue dress and A-line sweetheart mini gold tuelle dress here.  Both look so sweet and they are suitable for her age.

As for myself, I love to have these evening dresses!  Since I have lost a couple of pounds, I think I will consider buying these two to attend a special wedding dinner next year!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
