Sam: 2nd birthday party

June 29, 2008
Urdaneta Village Clubhouse

It was a rainy Sunday morning when we drove to Makati for Sam's birthday party. As soon as I saw the colorful venue set-up however, I knew it was still going to be a great party. Oh, and it was also the day when Pacquiao won his last fight via knock-out, so the adults also had something else to celebrate.:)

Here are some of the colorful photos I took during the party.

A detail on the cake.

The venue set-up was expertly done by Kidstar Kastles.

Sam seemed to have a great time.

Tito Alex as the fun host and magician.


Sam's mom Suzette told me Sam loves bubble shows. So, naturally, they had to have one at the party. The other kids also enjoyed it very much.

Marty and Milo: 1st birthday party

June 28, 2008
Valle Verde 6 Clubhouse

My favorite twins Marty and Milo turned one last month! It was so nice seeing them again. This time they were more active and they seemed to enjoy all the attention. Mommy Marose and Daddy Marion prepared a great big party for their little ones and everybody had a great time.

Here are some of the photos.

Details from the venue.

They had a Pooh-themed party. Naturally, Winnie the Pooh was all over the place.

The twins with their proud parents.

They had large but cute invites.

The adults also seemed to have fun.


So did the kids, of course.




Individual shots of Marty and Milo. I could tell them apart this time...


...because they had name tags.:D



And here are the stars of the day.

Lyra and Ice's baby shower!

A couple of weeks ago, some friends and I threw a mini baby shower for two very good friends from college. Lyra and Ice have been best friends since college and they just happen to be pregnant at the same time with Lyra just a couple of weeks ahead!

The mastermind behind the whole thing was my bestfriend Chen (who is now based in the US but is just here on vacation) who did EVERYTHING from shopping for the decorations and prizes, to thinking up the activities, down to tracking down long lost friends just to invite them to the party. And I have to say she did a very good job!:)

Here are a few of the photos that I took that night when I wasn't busy eating or playing games.

These are the diaper cakes that Chen and I gave to Lyra and Ice. Oh yeah, Ice is having a baby girl, hence the pink cake, while Lyra is having a boy, therefore we gave her a blue one.


Even though it says the cakes are from Chen (and Bondi) and me (and Pete), I have to admit that did absolutely nothing in making them. It was all Chen!:D


Jars of candy. Pete won the blue one.;)


My teeny-tiny contribution to the party. I helped make these.:D


We were finally able to sample Odette's yummy cupcakes!

The girls. (From L-R): Odette, Lyra, Ice, and Chen.


Presents and prizes!


Proud parents-to-be Manuel and Lyra.

Lyra and Ice wore matching preggy shirts proudly announcing their expected due month.


And finally, the happy moms-to-be. Can't wait to do their maternity portraits in a couple of weeks!:)
