Getting Ready For Prom

I bet my daughter and her entire senior class are looking forward to their JS Prom this April. The school is already collecting money for the incidental charges they will incur. Most likely, the funds will go to the rental of the venue, catering, lights and sounds, DJ and even the band with their classic pro tools 9.

My daughter is all set, the gowns (yes, plural!) are ready so she can decide which one she wants to wear, the shoes is kept in the box to keep it pristine, I've scouted for a salon where she can have her hair and make-up done.

I'm equally thrilled for her and her friends. I hope they'll enjoy the day and have heaps of fun, dancing, singing, and soaking in the feeling of their JS Prom.

Major Sale during GITEX

Every one awaits the opening of GITEX here in Dubai with much bated breath. It is a yearly event every October where every electronics known to man is being showcased and sold much less than the retail price.

The recently concluded event was a success considering it is still recession. My friends took the opportunity to spend on cheap netbooks, smart phones, MP4s, navigators and home theater system to send back home.

One of our friends even bought 3 smart phones - one for each of his kids! He saved a lot because each smart phone he bought had a free 8 mega pixel camera. Not bad! He can eventually sell the free digital cameras in the Philippines.

So, I'll save money for next year's event and probably buy myself the Macbook Pro I have been dreaming of.

Time for a Party!

Party organizers must be getting their plans and materials ready for the holiday season. Even companies are holding their annual Christmas Parties and the employees are all excited. Who would not be? With all the exchange of pleasantries, merriment, gifts and food abound; having a great party is indeed one to look forward to.

I am sure that suppliers of materials used in parties must be having a ball of time meeting orders and running after clients for future events because of the holiday season. I wonder how the event organizers or party hosts or hostess are coming up with their planning and execution during this time?

Holding a party takes a lot of work and preparation. One has to consider many factors before jumping to the planning stage of holding a great and fun party. Issues like theme, location, date, attendees, food, supplies and most important are the commercial tables and chairs are just a few to note when preparing a party.

I have not attended a standing party yet so if I am to host my own party, I will definitely need folding tables and stackable chairs. I cannot imagine causing inconvenience to my guests by keeping them on their feet for long. So having chairs and tables around will be vital to have a fun-filled and successful party.
