It's a Party!

My family celebrated an important milestone last Saturday, July 23, 2011.  We celebrated my grandpa and grandma's 70th wedding anniversary and also their 90th and 86th birthdays.  70 years together, can you imagine?  Because of this important event, everyone was asked to attend the party and all my family and relatives from abroad were able to fly in.  What a grand reunion we had!

We hired Kimberly Evangelista to be our event host, and I think the guests had a blast.  The food was good, the venue was decorated festively, the cake was ginormous, and we handed out some nice prizes during the trivia game, wherein guests had to answer some questions about Ama and Kongkong.  Ina prepared a nice AVP of Kongkong and Ama's old photos.  Donald also performed a number (he sang L-O-V-E), and a few of the grandkids and great grandkids serenaded the guests with Bruno Mars' "Just The Way You Are" with matching choreography!  I was so proud of them!

We also hired a photo booth (snapphotobooth.multiply.com) for guests to take photos as their mementos of the event.  Here are a couple of me and the kids...I didn't know even their yayas joined in on the fun!  hehe....

say cheeessse!

Happy anniversary Ama and Kongkong, we all love you very much!

Gratitude Journal - July 4, 2011

Gosh, half the year has gone by!  And I'm going to be another year older before this month ends...where did the time go?


Anyway, today I am thankful:

• for the food at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao (restaurant at V-Mall).  My sons especially love their Xiao Long Bao, with the thin skin and not so oily soup inside.  Also love their hand-pulled noodles.
• that my "kuliti" (stye in English daw) is almost healing.  The sucker finally popped the other night and lots of good stuff started oozing out of it.  At least it doesn't hurt that bad anymore.  Just hope it doesn't leave a bad scar on my eyelid.
• that Rod and I were able to watch the show "The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber" at the CCP last Thursday.  Even though I wasn't a fan, my husband was...and it was a great way to spend a date night with him!

Have a great day!
