Resorts World Manila’s Red Carpet Event
June 30, 2009I went to Resorts World Manila’s Casino Royale Red Carpet event last June 26, 2009. Yes, I went sashaying at a real red carpet event and it was so exciting! Of course, none of this would have been possible had Jonas and Rizal not invited me and especially if Jayvee hadn’t picked me up from home that day. Hugs to Jayvee! Like Rizal said, you are a good man, dude. And I totally agree! Thanks so much! Coz it would have been so hard for me to commute all the way to the meeting place, then change my attire from street wear to Hollywood glam. Which is exactly what I would have done if the universe did not decide to make my life a lot easier that day. So to the universe, thank you! I truly appreciate it. Teehee.
Jayvee & I arrived at the Star Cruises building in Newport Manila at around 8pm. The moment we entered the red carpet, strikingly gorgeous ushers and usherettes welcomed us as well as blinding flashes from event photographers. We felt so special. This was my second time to attend a Resorts Wold Manila event and by this time, I pretty much figured that they truly try to live up to their 6-star resort standards by treating each guest with utmost hospitality that I wished I live there every single day. ^_^
There were other bloggers by then and we of course mingled with those we know. I saw Janette Toral and off we went talking about a Wiccan project. Liz joined us after a little while as we chatted about vanity and stuff. We then met Jane in person popularly known as betweenbites online. She was with her BF Chris and they were both so pleasant, pretty and nice. More photo ops followed and at around 9 PM, the event started with a grand introduction before we were ushered to the 2nd floor where games, fun and prizes awaited us all.
I again played baccarat and roulette. Never mind that I was losing sometimes. It was fun and I was learning something new. Pica-pica, softdrinks and wine kept on coming that in a few minutes I was already betting more than I had to and my level of enjoyment was increasing by the minute. *hic!*
When I was on my second game, Peter suddenly arrived from work. Hurray! We were all so happy he was able to make it. And as I expected, he placed in the overall tournament and won a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Hurray!
