A great birthday bash Part II

As promised here are the pictures. My husband took more than 200 pictures, so I have to choose a few and make a collage. It became small though, but so far that is the best I could do. Pardon my ignorance in this field.
Mother blowing her candles and of course the tradition of a Filipino party, lots of food!


Our friends who are always there to bring food and ready to have fun.
Karaoke is the main past time in every party. Of course aside from Tequila, beer and chikahan. And Oh, the guys played Poker too!

A family picture (with Gabz missing), and mother opening all her presents!

Fun filled Weekend !!!

Our weekend was always full of activities, with friends or just the three of us. Weekend is our time for relaxation and spending time together. Last weekend though was soo much fun that my whole body was bone tired and could still feel it 'till Sunday !!!

We celebrated six birthdays last weekend, Six !!! can you imagine that ? It was a group celebration for all our friends who has birthdays in March. We started after lunch by playing bowling at ACME super bowl at Renton.

Look at my hubby doing his strike pose ! Unfortunately it was not a strike :-) still warming up. Does he look like a pro ? you will be the judge !

Gabz woke up so early from her usual because she was so excited to play bowling ! Look at her face, as if she knows how :-) She can't hardly carry the eight pounds ball, yet she loves to roll the ball over and over. Could not even wait for her turn ! Wait 'till you grow up baby, and you will have so much fun beating Mom and Dad !

Dinner as usual was overflowing with food, but my favorite is the super dooper yummy chocolate fountain ! I thought strawberry dipped in chocolate is already heaven, until I tried the cream puff dipped in chocolate. I almost forgot my name....hehehehe.


The guys having a poker session, with Eric's brand new poker table, a gift from us. Donnie I guess won the pot money ! Lucky him.


The party will not be complete without their group karaoke. Eric even bought three more chips from Philippines. I guess they got bored with all the songs on the first one. It sounds like a national anthem already, they have been singing it over and over.

The ladies will not let the guys have all the fun ! This is their first shot of Kahlua, then a consecutive shots of Tequila. The preggy's (now it's the three of us) just have to be contented holding the bottle !! They just have to wait for our return :-)

Well, the party ended past midnight with more than half of the people drunk. One thing for sure, everybody had sooooo much fun !!!

One secret of a party, do it with friends, people you like and love !!! Looking forward to the next one !!!

Great Time with Friends !

We had a fantastic, cool, groovy and terrific Valentines party last night with our Filipino friends here in Bellevue. It was Maricel's birthday too and their 9th year wedding Anniversary ( Eric and Maricel)... so much things to celebrate in one occasion. Part of Filipino tradition in every party is FOOD..FOOD...AND SO MUCH FOOD !!! We have pot roast, roasted beef, musubi rolls, relyenong bangus, siomai and a lot more. We even have chocolate fountain ! and thanks to Maricel for cooking my request...banana turon with ice cream !! Sooo yummy, thanks Cel. I even brought home some.

Our party even had a theme, everybody has to wear red, white or pink !!! Eric gave all the ladies a red fancy necklace as soon as we arrived to match the look !

We even had a game with matching prices, our own version of Newly Wed Game ! It was really fun...each couple has to answer 12 questions and check if the couples answer match each other. And we won the game !!! LOL. That game was really good, because it helps us know our partners more at the same time we learn personal details about our friends too. It helps us know each other more !

Eric took a picture of each families. It took him awhile to take our picture because Gabz is soo makulit. She could not stay still for a minute, and was taking a picture of Eric too with her toy camera. Oh men !

Well, the party come to an end at the crack of dawn (as usual). Our friend Donnie does not even know what was happening anymore, not even how he was able to went to bed ! Oh Donnie...poor Mel ! I guess its the effect of 10 bottles of red and white wine they had. Everybody had fun though as always ! I'm sure everybody was soo tired today and are trying to get a good long nap !! I got mine for two good hours !
