SSV Day 5: High Seas


Last full day aboard the cruise ship!! Obviously we wanted to maximize our stay in the ship by trying out as many activities as we can. However, the only thing we got to do was to join the zumba class in the morning. Lol. Turned out our schedule was pretty packed. We met up with a couple of people for lunch at Silk Road (which was so much better than the Japanese restaurant Samurai), played Cluedo with my brother at the Activity Center, then started preparing for the Gala Night.

Tired of the usual cocktail dress, I opted for something different. I wore a wool jumpsuit from Zara with a black and white scarf as accent. As early as 4pm we were already at the lobby, all set and ready for the cocktails which would begin at 5. On the dot, the captain took the stage and introduced the ship's top management. We then headed to Star Dining and were served a nice meal of salmon, squash soup, and seafood thermidor. The food were definitely grander than the usual since it was Gala Night.

We watched a show then headed back to our room. Since this was our last night in the ship, we hurriedly packed our luggage and left them outside the door of our cabin to be collected by ship personnel for easier disembarkation on the next day. 

I was quite sad that the trip was about to end but excited at the same time at the thought of coming home. It was definitely relaxing to travel on a cruise ship because doing nothing was perfectly acceptable. Lol. Majority of the time, I was just deciding where to eat and what to do. Would I travel again on a cruise ship? Definitely, eyeing the ones in the Caribbean or the Mediterranean!

BDJ Fair- Fashion Show


You may have heard of the Belle de Jour Fair last month at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. It was a whole day event where you could choose to hear talks from different speakers or just roam around the booths and try different games and activities. The models were required to arrive at 8 am for the fashion show rehearsal. After the rehearsal, we had the rest of the day to ourselves, then we had to go back to the tent at around 3 pm for the hair and makeup. The fashion show was scheduled to be sometime between 7 pm and 9 pm. It was such a magical experience for me because this is the first time I've ever been in a fashion show. I can't quite believe it even until now. I met a lot of new friends, and had the opportunity to be styled by Sidney Yap for the fashion show. Did I mention that he owns a HUGE collection of accessories which are to die for (!!!)? Haha. Plus, I considered myself lucky for meeting Divine Lee before her talk. She was very nice and down to earth! Thank you BDJ for this wonderful experience and to Joy for coordinating the fashion show! Thanks also to the friends who supported me, who went there and watched the fashion show - Phya, Marianne and Cindylene! It meant a lot to me. :)
