I know this is long been overdue, but like what they always say, it’s better late than never.

We had another party for Bela last Nov 17 to celerate Bela's birthday w/ our family & friends. Below is a slide show of some of the highlights of the party.



Nov 17

I woke up early because we still have a lot of small details to do (and maybe because I'm excited also). Then I woke Howell up because he has to go to Philippine Columbian to deliver the tarpaulin then drop by at Quiapo to buy tapes for the videocam. He drop me & my mom off at Dangwa because we have to buy fresh flowers for Bela's head dress & our leis.

The videographer arrived around 12:30 to take videos of the preps but the birthday girl is still taking a nap. It's already 1 PM & Bela is still asleep so Howell & I decided to go ahead of them because we still have to set up the prizes, souvenirs, tarps, coloring pages,etc.

When we arrived everything is already set up & Pizzie (from Little Royalties) is already there to assist us.

Our host is still not there (I think she’s 1 hour late). Good thing the guests are also late. Maybe because of the heavy Saturday traffic. I started to get worried na nga kse kaunti pa lang ang guest & 3 PM na. I also provided Lilo & Stitch Coloring pages so the kids have something to do while waiting for the program to start.

The program immediately started after Bela arrived. The host started with games for the kids. Super enjoy kse nagpaparticipate lahat ng kids. Naubos talaga lahat ng prizes na binili ko (kulang pa nga ata eh).

After the games, eating time muna. While the guests are eating, we played 2 AVPs made by my husband's business partner & Bela's tito, Nick. He created an MTV of some of Bela's home videos & then the other one was a picture AVP with the theme “What would Bela be when she grows up.”

Super big hit din ang Haiwaiian Snow Cones, Chocolate Fountain & Caramel Apple of Sanfo Treats.

After the guests are finished eating, lumabas na ang special guest ni Bela, si Lilo. Medyo takot lang si Bela kay Lilo mascot & medyo maton kumilos si Lilo.Hehehe

Then around 5 PM, Pizzie informed me na wala pa yung mag bubble show.4 PM call time nila so 1 hour late na din sila. So we decided to continue with the program.

We asked the kids in costume, to parade and then we announced the best in costume and the best in artwork. Wala pa din ung bubble show performers, so the host did some balloon sculptures for the kids. Tapos nagperform ulit si Lilo, then picture taking with the kids. Tapos we proceed with the balloon burst, then candle blowing. Eto favorite part ni Bela.

Exactly after all this, dumating din ang bubble show. Sulit din naman ang pag iintay kse super enjoy lahat kahit mga adults. I even received a lot of praises from our guests for the bubble show. My favorite is the photo opp where kids will go inside the giant bubble. Nakailang ulit nga kami ni Bela kse ayaw kong tumigil hanggat walang maayos na picture si Bela.

Then we distributed Bela's souvenir-personalized tumblers.

Some of the kids went swimming pa after the party.

Howell & I are super tired after the party but we're really happy kse super enjoy si Bela. Mas na appreciate na nya kse mga parties ngayon. Actually, mas na enjoy ko to kesa noong 1st birthday nya. Hehe.

After the party I received a lot of text message from our guests thanking us for inviting them because they really had fun. Kaya sulit talaga pagod namin.

If you want to see more pictures, I have uploaded more pictures at Bela’s webshot account. (Medyo madami yung na upload kong pictures at hindi natiis ni Howell na magkuha ng pictures kahit super busy na kami entertaining our guests.)
