A couple of weeks ago, I planned a surprise birthday for Gen and Zeny. However, due to some unforseen schedule conflict, Gen’s birthday was postponed to another weekend.
After the success of Zeny’s birthday, she then took the responsibility of being in charge of Gen’s surprise party. Little did I know, they were planning a double surprise party for Gen and me! To cut the story short, I was indeed amazed with their effort even though I specifically informed Coe not to plan a party for me since I’m doing a Birthday Project. (Off Topic: Please support by donating any goods or cash for the benefit of Grace to be Born shelter.) Well, here’s a rundown of what had transpired that day.
A Princess Themed McDonald’s Kiddie Party was held in Tomas Morato Branch. It was a rainy Saturday evening that’s why only a number of “surprised guests” arrived. Andrew was the one in charge of calling my friends but unfortunately only the Tomweb friends came since most of them are living far from the venue. Later I saw their messages thru sms and facebook and were apologetic because they can’t come. I’m totally okay with it since I never really knew they were coming. Hahaha!
Of course, a surprise princess costume that was adopted from “My Amnesia Girl” movie together with a bouquet of flowers. Not only that, a dance with the bachelors was also done.
Since Zeny was also a September baby, we had a celebrators picture with us looking like a princess!
Well, photo op is not new to us so here’s a group shot with “different” smiles. Hahaha!
McDonald’s crew was so nice to think of an adult game suitable for us. We were laughing out loud while they were practicing and playing the actual game. Of course Gen and I were not included since we were the “Princesses” that night! Looking at the pictures, it’s obvious that the Girls team won the game! Hahaha!
After we ate our dinner, we had the mascot appearance… and here’s Grimace to grace us with his/her dance number!
Finally, we had our Pinata box with goodies inside. We gave all the attendees loot bags too! Hahaha! Majority of the prizes will be donated to Grace to Be Born for my Birthday Project but some of them will be donated to other charities. Hopefully the balloons will last until the day we visit the shelter.
As Coe said,“A princess for a day but forever a princess in our hearts“. We ended the party with a light and happy heart even though only 1/4 of the expected visitors arrived. The remaining food, fries and sundaes were given to the kids outside McDonalds.
We had our coffee/tea break in Wheatberry’s to calm down and lower our adrenalins. It was one exquisite birthday I/We ever had! It was my first time to celebrate my birthday in a restaurant! Hahaha! 🙂
On the day of my birthday, I had a simple dinner in our house with my family and Andrew.
And yes, on that day I received a beautiful new toy: an iPod Touch! c/o my sweet, loving and caring Andrew. ^_^ (P.S. to my friends: We can now have another picture with Apple products! Hahahha! Finally, I’m one with you guys! :p)
Thank you for all those who became part of my birthday. To those who remembered, unintentionally forgot, greeted me in facebook (even if I disabled my wall post), tweeted their greetings, sent me an SMS and to those who called, I really am truly grateful for your love and care. It is such a blessing knowing that I have my family and friends who will always be there for me no matter what. Another year has passed and a wiser me I hope.
Thank you Lord for this gift of Life! ^_^
