>Ayumi Janelle’s First Birthday Party Celebration

>

Pillow’s First Birthday was held yesterday at Corinthians Garden. Since I wanted a big party, I hired a Party Planner para wala na akong iisipin sa pag contact ng mga suppliers. Before I contacted the Party Planner I already had the list of what I wanted in my party. When PP and I met I just informed here the party details and so happy that she delivered it exactly what I want and because of that it made the event PERFECT!!

Official Party Planner: Dynamic Impact: 10/10 c/o Emie –

I got the following services from them:

1. Venue – Corinthians Garden

2. Food – Nong food tasting pa lang, sobrang satisfy talaga kami ni hubby. Kaya nong event mismo confident ako na masasarapan guests namin. Akala ko nga hindi na ako makakain kasi madaming bisita but so thankful that Emie offered us food habang nakapila ang guests so walang nasayang na time, hindi pa kami nagutuman ni hubby.



3. Chocolate Fountain – nice set up pero dahil busy ako hindi ko na natikman.



4. Ice Cream – wow kids love it! I tried it at masarap talaga. I saw moms and kids are eating ice creams.



5. Cake – Simple lang pero masarap. Guests were texting me after the party that they like the cakes. I have mini cakes too as a souvenirs and they really love it.



6. Cupcakes – I ordered 50pcs. with clear box. This served as a souvenirs din.

7. Entertainment – BUMPY – ang galing nya. Lahat talaga natuwa. Kids and adults love him. Magaling yong magic and puppet show. Very friendly din and during breaks some of my guests approached him kasi natuwa talaga sa kanya.

8. Face Painting – cute ng designs and kids love it.

9. Venue Decors – gusto ko talaga madaming balloons and so happy na nagawa ni Emie ang gusto ko. Pati color combinations are perfect.



10. Photobooth – dito nag enjoy ang adults lalo na ang mahilig magpicture picture. Nag start agad at mabilis ang printing and the owner is very friendly.

>Something Red

>


I want something new! I checked my lippies and noticed that I have boring colors so I searched online and found out that red lipsticks are fab. It also happened that we passed by Trinoma today and I saw the MAC counter. I checked the Russian Red and the sales lady recommended it.

When she applied it to me I found it so nice and perfect so I purchased it right away.
Love it!

>Loving My Life!

>
I had my shopping spree today before the big event next week. We went to Greenhills to purchase hubby and Gareth’s outfit for the event. We also went to S&R for few items.

So far, everything is ready!
THANKFUL!
The event is our little way of giving thanks to God for all the blessings. For the past 11 years of our lives together (with hubby) we went through some difficult moments. There are moments that I thought I can’t go on anymore but with God’s help and grace we are still together.
Gareth moment:
When I was pregnant with Gareth that was the moment we were overjoyed! We always wanted to have kids. Though Gareth has a condition right now that sometimes broke me as a mom but still I have to stand still for him and it didn’t stop us thanking God for everything.
Pillow moment:
Pillow came unexpectedly but in my mind I planned her! I always wanted to have a baby girl. A girl that make us all laugh. Pillow not just made us laugh but she also brought tears to us.. happy tears! We are so amazed of her little ways and I am so happy to have her.
My Husband
He is someone I always prayed for. When I was younger, I always find myself praying for not a perfect husband but for someone I can be with for the rest of my life. So thankful that God answered my prayer. He always see to it that I am happy. He also take care for us. He is a hands on Dad to our kids. He changes kids diapers, put them to bed, cooked us delicious meals, make us laugh, comforted us and continue loving us. He is also a good provider and a perfect husband!
I wish to celebrate this event to all the people who loves us, who cared for us and stays with us all through out this year!
Peeps!! please come and let us celebrate!

>Before Ever After – The Novel

>

Storm Signal no. 2 in Metro Manila and all classes were cancelled. But it didn’t stop us to go to Glorietta 5 at Makati. When I heard about the book of Samantha Sotto and about her stories, I told my husband right away that I want to purchase the book.
We arrived right on time, there were few people on the floor and cold iced tea was served.

They served stick bread and Pillow likes it.
When she entered National Bookstore, I didn’t recognized her right away because she is different on the Posters posted.
Samantha Sotto – The Author
It is so worth the travel from Antipolo to Makati.

>Have a Great Sunday!

>I woke up around 1pm today. It rained in the afternoon so we decided to stay at home and spend the rest of the day with kids.

While the kids are sleeping, I tuned in at Cinema One and enjoyed watching Filipino Movie. It feels so good to just relax and not worry about anything.
After watching the kids are now awake and we are busy feeding them and making sure that they are comfortable before we will do something for our own.
I am now alone in our room, reading The Paris Wife through my Kindle. I so love this book. I hope you will also got a time to read it. So while reading I am also checking emails, forums and blogs. Well.. that’s how I multitask. 🙂
It’s a cold night unlike the other nights that were so humid. I love it tonight because I don’t need to turn on the AC.
I am also sipping hot choco prepared by my husband. I can also hear from our room that my hubby is watching TV while carrying Pillow.
This is how our Sunday looks like!
How about you?
Have a blessed one everyone!
