Birthdays: Near and Far

Near. My kids and I together with Chinadoll attended the first birthday of our Manager's first daughter held last Saturday in Century Park Hotel. The theme was Hello Kitty which is why I decided to buy Melody stuff toy as birthday gift for the celebrant. The venue was big enough to accomodate plenty of visitors especially the kids who immensely enjoyed the party program. The host from Jen Belen party and event organizer was amazing. She was hosting, singing and dancing with matching Hello Kitty costume.

Kids were given Ben10 and Hello Kitty loot bags for boys and girls respectively, as they enter the venue. We were also given stubs for ice cream, hotdogs, pop corn and cotton candy that you can munch on while attentively watching the program until you hear the go signal to line up for the main course. Since my kids are 11 and 8 years olds, they did not avail of the kiddie meal, they prefer food intended for adults. After eating, the program continued, kids and mommies including me got busy collecting candies from the candy buffet set up right beside the stage.

We also enjoyed the photobooth service. It was exciting to pose for the camera and quickly grab another head accessory for another shot, time pressured but defintely a lot of fun.

Far. It was hubbys birthday last March 08, a day before that, I bought Sansrival cake in my favorite cakehouse. Even if hubby is several miles away, I make sure to buy him a cake on occassions like birthdays and father's day. It's my way of making him feel important. I'm hoping he'll be able to celebrate his next birthday with us because he will be turning 40 then. I want to organize a party, invite his friends and relatives and all the people close to his heart. I wanna make sure it's a birthday party he'll never forget in his lifetime.
