Zaina’s Birthday

On preparations: With the venue:

I scanned over the Davao’s telephone directory to find several venues to host my little girls birthday. Its not easy to find them. I may have find some but considering the budget and and the accessibility. I even had research on the net, hoping to find ideas. Despite the effort, still had none to consider. Until considering my aunts suggestion to hold it at Geojoe’s Restobar, located at ecoland drive. We filled the place with balloons designed like flowers with stem. And scattered some of them on the floor so the kids can play with them.

On tarpulin:

I designed it using the Microsoft power point and saved it as .jpeg but when I had it printed the printing press said that images will be distorted so I have to make new lay-out, I dont know how to do it on Adobe Photoshop so I went to nccc mall at reppapepz stall as per anne’s advice. The following day Anne and I went out to canvass for some cheap printing and were adviced to pick up the tarp the next day. Some unexpected things happend. The shop was attack by a virus and so files were deleted. In short, tarp was not printed. hhahahah hayyyyy to make it short just the day before the big event we finally had a wonderful tarpulin.

On Souvenir:

We bought some shot glasses then fill it with silver dust, cotton and some stars origami. then covered it with corrugated paper and pasted Zaina’s thank you message.

On cake:

Cake was ordered at Goldilocks four days before her birthday and then we just picked them up.

The clown:

II hired a clown to make the event more fun. He had balloon twisting, magic tricks, the puppet show and the games.

Busy Days

By August 5, 2008, Zaina will be celebrating her First Birthday, that is why I am quite busy these days. I went looking for venue, clowns/magicians, designed the lay out for her tarpulin (above photo), went out looking for guests tokens, and still preparing for the invitations and so with the balloons.

I am halfway done with the preparations. I have now a venue, still doing with my personalized tokens, clown/magician is okay and others still puzzling. Hay, things are a little drowning but sure to finish before our special day.

Updates, soon.

The Boodle Fight

We went to Laak, Campostela Valley for MinSSAD Sub-Projects Turnover last July 1, 2008. A ride from Davao City is about three hours on a long rough road. My back is a bit aching due to humps of the road but is certainly a real great ride.

One thing that I remember most about the trip is the experience of boodle fighting. The fight isn’t like that of boxing. Boodle fighting is a military style of eating.Three long table were prepared and food are on top of the banana leaves. Viands and rice ready to eat using your bare hands. Of course jugs of water are prepared on the side for us to wash our hands before the combat. With the signal to start the boodle fight everyone had their position. Yeba! Ready get set, go!

Below are the photos as evidences. (Laughing out Loud)
