Double Birthday Celebration

TGIF! Yes, we had another great Friday Night last week and I'm looking forward to another fun-packed one!

We had a double celebration of Richlyn and Klaire's Birthdays, September 11 and 15 respectively. Klaire decided to celebrate her 26th birthday in advance...and when Richlyn heard about it, she wanted to have a belated-birthday party. And the place to be??? 2724!

Pia helped Klaire in buying some food and I took care of the decorations--as if there's much work to be done. It has been my responsibility to make a Happy-Birthday-Poster for the celebrity because we've discovered my art skill after doing my talk-of-the-town scrapbook.

Partytime? 7:30PM! So we hurried and finish all our to-do's at work and left our offices early. I drove to Waltermart to pick up Pia and grabbed some ballons and colored paper. When we got home, I worked on our greeting-poster with gusto. People started coming in by 7pm. And before we knew it our apartment was once again filled with bunch of party people.

Len and Pia were cooking the pancit. And we were all beginning to starve. Pizza came and Klaire had ice cream with her when she came in. We also had 2 flavors of ice cream, thanks to Richlyn... and the most famous Mango Bravo of Contis, thanks to Jun!

We official started the celebration/program with a short audio preaching of Max Lucado on God's Mirror. It was about the author's conversation with a Rabbi. Short story short (hehe), the lessons we picked up was to be careful with how we live our lives because we bear the name of our Father in Heaven. Then after listening to the CD, Dhet prayed for Klaire. Richlyn came in late. We started without her otherwise we would collapse because of hunger.

Attendance: Misty, Cristine, Jfer, Len, Roni, Dhet, She, DY, Jun, Joel, Jeacim, Gali, myself and of course the birthday girls, Richlyn and Klaire.

While having the dessert, I prepared the videoke. Everyone's eyes were on it. I think because it's really been a while since our last entertainment. Not for me, I just had a videoke session with my friends in Timezone last week when we were stucked in the mall because of the flood.

Of course, we have to do our traditional photo op. I positioned the celebrities and took some of their pictures with their ballons and birtday posters. And mind you, they were like models. The spectators had an enjoyable time watching them .

Familiarity bridges self-confidence... not contempt! So the microphone was passed on from one amatuer singer after the other. Jeacim did most of the entertainment, as expected. Pia and Dy were far behind from the guts but we were amused by their performances. Ha!

Some left early so they did not see Jfer's show with her back up dancers, Joel, Jun and Jeacim.. THE J's! And she did quite a few song numbers! And my guess that became the highlight of the birthday celebration because I saw Richlyn and Klaire laughing to death. But sorry, I will be dead if I will upload their photos. Haha!
