I am finally back from the Casino since Wednesday evening. ^w^ I had a wonderful time! ~ Sadly we didn't won a significant amout of money but we surely enjoyed our little trip. 8D So, let's start with what happened since my last post. ~
On last Saturday I spended the day home cleaning up. ;o; In the evening, I wasn't feeling like going to Diane's birthday party at a local pub but Laurie-chan convinced me. XD; I dolled myself up in my Gothic & Lolita black dress and I headed up to Diane's party. ^w^ It was so fun to see some people I haven't seen for such a long time and to chat with them. ;o; I had a great time! ^o^
On Sunday I was kind of tired from the night before so I slept a lot. XD; I also packed my things for Monday. ^w^
On Monday morning we headed up to the casino. ^3^ Yay! ~ After a 4 hours drive, we arrived at the Manoir. ♥ (My pictures are kind of random so I will post them as I took them because I don't want to forget any. ;o;)
Me in the big stairway that goes to the lobby. ~
We went at the Casino right after checking in and unpacking our luggage. ^w^ The Casino was almost empty at this time. We realised that it was near dinner time and we were both hungry so we decided to go back to the Manoir for dinner. ~
Daddy and me while waiting for our plates to be served. :3
I ordered a mango grilled chicken. ~ It was so good. ;o; I liked the sour and sweet taste of the mango with the smokey flavour of the grilled chicken. ♥ The roasted vegetables were delicious too. ^w^
I took a simple maple flavoured tea for dessert and daddy shared two bites of his lime cake with me. :3
After our dinner, we took some time to relax at the room. ~ I took lots of pictures. 8D
An old picture that was in our room. ~ I don't know if you can see it well but one of the ladies have a lovely big hat and a parasol. ♥ Daddy said that she looked a little like me. XD;
Daddy's bed. XD; Mine was on the other side but it wasn't as tidy since I putted all my beauty products on it to find my lipstick... Oops. XD;
The view from our room. ^w^ The pictures aren't very clear but we could see a part of the garden near the Manoir and the other aisle on the right. ~
The bathroom. ~ It was a little small for my taste but very luxuous. ♥
After that, I took some outfit shots. ~
I coordinated my Wonder Party with tulle. ^w^

After being crazy with pictures taking in the room, we headed back for the casino. XD; As you know me, I had to take pictures of everything while we were going there. XD;
The lonnnnng hallway. ~
Me on the lovely chairs near the elevators. ^w^ (The lighting was terrible. D:)
Obligatory mirror shot in the elevator. XD;
An old sleigh that was exposed at the bottom of the elevaors. ~
A display with come cute clothing from another era. ^w^ (I love the puffy sleeves!)
The casino entrance that faces the Manoir. ^w^
We stayed at the casino until about 11PM. ~ I had lots of fun looking at the different new slot machines and I even played poker at one of the tables. :3 But as I said there was very few people so the casino was feeling a little empty. ^w^'' We came back at the hotel and I decided to wait until midnight to fall asleep so I could be the very first one to wish my dad a happy birthday! ^w^ I sang him a little birthday song half asleep in my bed and he was laughing at me. XD; He said that 5 minutes later I was sleeping soundly. ;o;
On Thursday it was daddy's birthday! ^w^ Yaaayyy! ~ I sang him birthday songs while getting ready in the morning. XD;
Another mirror shot in the elevator. ~
We decided to have our breakfast at Mikes. ~ I ordered some eggs benedict. ^o^ It was the first time that I tried this so I didn't really know what to expect but it was good. 8D I was ready to start off the day with a filled stomach. ~ We went to the casino a little after our breakfast but it was very empty so we went for a little walk around the Manoir to take pictures. ~

Better views of the Manoir. (And daddy looking at the boats. XD)
Daddy's outfit shot. XD So harajuku. ~
I had a uncontrollable feeling of posing in the center of this setting. XD;
With the fountain next to the casino. ~ I love the sounds of fountains, so soothing. ;o;
We entered the casino after our little walk because as you can see with the last pictures, the sun was pointing his nose. (Wich means I had to hide inside. XD) We played all the afternoon, until we were hungry. 8D We decided to go eat at the Manoir's all you can eat buffet for dinner. ^w^
I asked daddy to take a picture of me with this beautiful flower arrangement near the restaurant. ~
Alexou & Laurie, this picture is for you. XD; I knew I had to take a picture of this frame as soon as I saw it, it reminded me of you both. ;D
So, we ate our dinner and since it was a buffet I had a little of everything; fish, pasta, roasted vegetables, rice, braised pork, cheese... There was also some red velvet cake for dessert so I took 5 parts of it. OxO But it was some teeny tiny parts, I finished each of them in two bites. ~x~
After the dinner we went to walk a little around the Manoir. ~
I found a throne! ^w^ You can now call me Princess Tomoyo. ♥
Beautiful paintings. ♥
The lamp near the big stairway was so pretty. ;o; There was all the astrological signs on it. ♥ (The Virgo was on the other side and she was replacing her hairs looking in a hand mirror, IT'S SO ME!! ♥)
After our walk we went back at the room and I was geeting very tired. ;w; (I probably ate a little too much. D:) So I decided to relax while wathing TV and daddy went to the Casino alone this time. ~ When he came back I was already half asleep. ~o~
On Wednesday I woke up a little late so I had to rush up to get myself dolled up and to pack everything. OxO (That's why I didn't had time to take outfit pictures. D:) We went directly at the casino hoping that we could grab a snack there. I started to play at the slot machines that were at the bottom floor and daddy smelled food nearby (hehehehe ~) so he found out the food smell was coming from the little bistro at the bottom floor. :3 We decided to eat our dinner there since we were both very hungry. ^w^ I had a beef wrap with a greek salad and home made potato chips. ~ It was delicious but so HUGE. OxO I couldn't even finish my plate and I asked daddy to help me finish it. XD; For dessert I had a cup of tea (as usual) and daddy ordered a carrot cake that we ate together. ~ It was yummy, probably my favourite meal of our trip. 8D We stayed at the casino until mid-afternoon, after that we went back home. ~w~
Overall it was a lovely trip! ^w^ I had a lot of fun playing at the casino and trying new games. 8D The room and the Manoir were simply too beautiful and it was a pleasure to stay there. ♥ I also had yummy food wich is always a plus if I am having a great time. 8D I just can't wait to go back, I love going to the casino! ^w^
Yesterday I had to go at the garage for my car. ~w~ Yes, again. D: I also had to run some errands and to buy fresh food for the weekend. ~ I dressed up casually to be comfortable, here was my outfit. ~
A casual but elegant outfit in white and pink with lots of pearls. ~

I met a guy at the garage who knew what Lolita fashion was and said to me that he liked my style. ^o^ I was so flattered. ~ I am always surprised when someone recongnizes the fashion in my area since people that wear alternative fashions are so rare here. ;o; It made my day. ^w^
As for today, I was kind of lazy and sleepy. ~o~ I wanted to do shopping so I went to see if I could find more suitable fabrics for my Country Lolita skirts that I plan to order from Oo Jia. ~ I emailed her with an order for two skirts; one in pink and one in blue. ^w^ With some very old school designs. ♥ When the order will be confirmed and paid, I will show you what I choose to order here. 8D ♥ Oh! I also bought some old issues of the GLB from one of my friendsin Quebec city. ^w^ She shipped them to me yesterday so I should receive them next week. ^w^ ♥
xox ~ Petite Tomoyo. ♥
