Another bday party...

We attended another birthday party last weekend. It was the 5th birthday of Bela of Abie.

Bianca, as usual had a blast with Jollibee mascots. She's one little girl who is not at all afraid of mascots, unlike her Ate Margaux who actually do not even want to come near those creatures, lol!

Here are few pictures from the party...





And I so love the giveaway! Another couches/chairs to be added in the playroom!

Parties last weekend...

We attended the 5th Birthday Party of Sam (of Jacqui) last saturday and 1st Birthday Party of Dom (of Peachy) last sunday. It was a fun and great weekend. The kids had a blast. I so love the parties and I ate a lot! Boo for my diet! lol!

I like the host that Jacqui got for the party.  He was funny.  I also love Wanlu to bits during the birthday of Dom! Never fails to amuse the guests. We hired Wanlu during Margaux's 1st birthday also and with I saw last sunday, I like him even more. Now, makes me wish to throw Margaux another party next year. Well, I am still going to ask the husband if he would approve of it.

Here are some pictures of the kids from the parties...

It's my birthday today...

and I am happy and at peace with my life. And at XX years already, I feel like I'm still at 25 years old! Friends could be asking as to what could be my secret as I do not have any dark circles yet! Thanks to the best eye cream, which my friend introduced to me. We found out together through an eye cream review website the best product that suits our skin complexion. Well, it is important really to know first the composition of the cream, its benefits and also considering its price efficiency.  It could really be annoying to see yourself in front of the mirror with a big, puffy and dark circled-eyes, as if you have just came from a fight!  lol!  In fact, I do recommend now to my other friends and as well as to my brides to do take care of their eyes properly and at least do something for those with dark circles to ensure that they would be glowing on their wedding day. And as for me who have been using one for couple of weeks now, I'm no longer conscious for any dark circles or puffy eyes in time for my birthday parties!

Naughty...

Bianca: Hey kuya Matt, please kiss me!

Matt: I'm shy Bianca!

Matt: Cheeks to cheeks na lang!

Bianca: You, Please kiss me, Luke!

Luke: Ok, not a problem...

Luke: come here...I'm going to kiss you na!

Luke: Mwah!

(opps, nagclose eyes pa! lol!)
WAAAH!

Bianca's Bday Party at Shakey's

Despite the heavy rains at exactly 3pm, we were overwhelmed with the outcome of Bianca's party yesterday. A number of friends and relatives attended, in fact, most of the ones we invited came. It only means that we are truly loved by our family and friends, naks!

We started late, almost 5pm because most were stuck in traffic  due to flashflood in Katipunan area. Good thing I really reserved the place at 4pm but I placed 3pm in the invitation.

The kids had fun based on the few pictures I got. I'm still waiting for the official photos from Howell, Abie's dear husband. I was so glad they weren't stranded so Howell was able to take a lot of pictures of the details, well, I supposed.

Here are just some snapshots from our camera:

And Bianca just love Dora, (the mascot) a lot! 

For us, it was a great party...all for the happiness of our dear Bianca!

My kids this weekend...

were mostly in parties. Attended Jacqui's Sam's Party in Mcdo El Pueblo. They came in matching pink pants and white blouse...
Margaux and I joined the game but we lost to Sam and Jacqui. Ang hirap ah!

Margaux and Bianca joined in singing Happy Birthday for Sam...
We enjoyed the party and they love the director's chair given by Sam. 

Then Sunday ofcourse was Bianca's bday party in Shakey's Katipunan.

Bianca's bday celebration in CRIBS

Disclaimer:  This post is not to brag...it is just to share our humbling experience and be inspired to also share your love and time to these homeless kids.

In fact, this was just supposed to be the celebration of her birthday but good thing the dad also agreed for another party in Shakeys.  CRIBS Foundation has always been our favorite charity so we are not new to them.  I have seen some who have moved from infant section to the crawlers section and now was suprised to see them in the toddler section where Bianca celebrated a simple party with them.  

Initially, I wanted to just buy packed food from Jollibee or Mcdonalds but I suddenly realized that it would be more meaningful to just cook for them instead.  We had spaghetti, chicken nuggets, hotdogs and jimini's pizzas.  I also bought juices and ice cream for the 10 toddler kids who will be participating.  Of course, there should always be a cake.  I was instructed that it should just be a simple merienda for the kids.
Then Bianca and Margaux were placed in the middle in preparation for the candle blowing of the cake.
And the 10 kids were all there ready to sing happy birthday for my little Bianca...
Candle-blowing time...
It was then time for their merienda...
After eating, Bianca enjoyed giving out the lootbags and the toys to each kid.



And I caught her giving a toy to the kids in the crawling section through that small opening in the door...

It was truly a humbling experience.  The kids cried when we left.  I was moved again and again everytime we visit the place.  If I could just all bring them home.  :-(
