Party planning mode

We are in a party planning mode with my friend Carmel, her first child Ziah is turning one on June 22 and the doting parents wants a birthday party for her.

This afternoon, we both decided (she actually) to go for Jollibee instead of Shakeys because of the birthday theme available. Barbie theme is being offered in Jollibee while it's only Barney and Justice league in Shakeys.

It's sure fun to plan a party (specially if you're not the one paying..haha!) and I get too excited about it. Oh if only I have the means I'm gonna pay for everything and throw her a grand party ever! Sorry I'm just one poor ninang :(

Anyways, am thankful that I'm being included in the party planning, (I really wish that someday I'll plan for my own child's party) because I really do enjoy planning a party. The balloons we'll do is already finished in my mind and I know hubby can execute it :)

How time flies indeed, it seems only last month when we first saw her and now she's turning one year old, I hope when the mom scouts for school with good school equipment for her darling daughter (but not too soon please) she will still ask for my my opinion :) after all that's the only thing I can give that is free..hehehe! my love and advises.

Rachel's Barbie dolls

She has few doll houses too. And I think what's in the picture is what's left of her dolls because although she loves barbie and she loves playing with it like a typical child she end up removing all the body parts of the doll. She also had a barbie party on her 7th birthday. She's turning 9 next year and I know soon she'll get over the doll thing, I just hope she will still love girly stuff because I love to give her girly stuff. Being the first niece in the family somehow made her special to everyone of us. This coming Christmas I still don't have a gift for her but for sure it will not be some kind of muscle builders. if ever, that's for my eldest nephew who is a tweener now.

I still think I would give her another doll this year so she'll have one more to enjoy before she turn another year older.

Rachel's barbie party!

I am the official event planner of the family and I am a happy one. We don’t hold super grand occasions because obviously we can not afford one but we do hold parties for the kids from time to time. My eldest sister made it so sure that her children will have parties in every birthday until they reach 7.

So last May 31, we celebrated Rachel’s 7th birthday. She chose her birthday theme which was Barbie. She loves Barbie, she has been waiting for this since last year.


The look on her face when she saw her Barbie cake is priceless!! Here’s the picture of the cake I ordered from Kitchen Krafts. It’s so beautiful!


Sad that the rain spoiled her party, my sister made a mistake of not booking of the place where she usually held her kid’s birthdays, so she opted to do it just outside the Barangay hall with tents. It’s been raining that week and it rained even harder that day.

Nevertheless, the kids had fun with their Barbie prizes, the Barbie loot bags with everything Barbie inside.

The adult had a blast with the dishes my mom prepared, She's a great cook! and what more? we had lechon :) a favorite of the family so you bet we all need fat burner from my dad down to my eldest sister and her kids!


Kudos to the birthday planner! Hehe :D and that’s me!
