Though I didn't really plan an all-out party, last Sunday's celebration was fun. Kids and adults alike, enjoyed the food and entertainment we prepared.
Here is a photo of the birthday boy with Lolo Boy.
Here are some Javi's cousins with Kuya Johann and Bettina
Below are some of Javi's Titas reciting their cheer for the adult game.
I didn't really work out as I initially planned (details here).
At 3PM, we arrived at the venue. It looked like everything is in place. The birthday banner, cakes, loot bags and tables were already prepared.
Mein, the party coordinator, mentioned that there was an available host. She offered the hosting service for only a thousand pesos. Since I only had the bubble show as the highlight of the party, I had no problem with that. Besides, sobrang mura na. I guess, she was trying to make up for her lack of follow-through in the previous week.
My only concern was I didn't prepare any prizes. She offered to use the lootbags as game prizes. She also threw in 4 Friday's tumblers, free of charge. To add to those, I requested that a 1000 bill be broken down into smaller bills. Happy na mga bata (even matanda) sa P20. It often evoked a resounding "Wow!"
By 5:30 PM, everybody was already full. I got the cheapest adult party package with bottomless Iced Tea. I ordered additional fried mozzarella and the Pinoy platter (adobo and inihaw na liempo and manok) for those with bigger appetites. When the party drew to a close, the kids played in the area while the parents had beer.
Maybe because of my lack of preparation, I had several minor issues with them. First was I still didn't get a copy of the contract till the day before the party. The party coordinator was quite difficult to catch. Second, I am not even sure if 30 plates were served. Thirdly, I still wonder if dessert is included in the party package I got.
It was generally a no-fuss party. It was short and sweet. It even turned out to be cheaper than Johann's 2nd birthday party.
