Mommy's BirthDay

Mommy celebrated her 60th year on Easter Sunday at DJ Paradise Hotel in her most simple way.

The party's theme was 'Reminiscing the 60's'.

For the invites, we used 45s to match our theme. We used Mommy's photo on her teens.

Mommy had her outfit made and she bought me, Jenny and Ate Bing matching outfits at Greenhills. We had our hair and make-up made by Agatha.
We had our Thanksgiving Mass at the Golden Shower at 5pm. Mons Flint, Fr. Pros and Fr. Espiritu led the mass with the RCM sisters as the choir. Jenjen, Paeng, and Biboy read the readings and the prayers in Tagalog. That was pretty hard but they did it well.

After the mass, we invited our guests to make use of our studio-set up for their free vintage pictorial. They went home with their 5R photos printed in sepia for free. Then, invited the guests to party at the roofdeck of the hotel.
People feasted over the Fusion and Western cuisine prepared by DJ Paradise Resort and Chef Orland. We served sushi, sashimi, maki, salad with 4 different dressings, miso soup and sukiyaki, lechon baka and baboy, japanese dishes, pasta, ox tongue, chocolate fountain, pastries, tiramisu, and the likes. Everybody loved the food while reminiscing with the music of the 60s performed by the XPoZ Band. We heard a lot of good feedback from our guests about the band. They must have enjoyed the oldies but goodies sounds.

While enjoying the food and the music, we requested the guests to sign their wishes for Mommy at the photos pinned on top of the flower arrangement of the guest tables. We then collected these after the party and binded it.

Lola and Daddy gave their birthday wishes for Mommy.
Jenny prepared the AVP followed with our supposed-to-be surprise dance number. Daddy asked Ryan what he prepared for Mommy's birthday. With the little boy's innocence, he answered proudly that he will dance, inspite of our instructions that it will be a secret. He said that he did not tell Daddy, he just answered Daddy's question. Kids! And while Daddy was telling us how he caught Ryan with our little secret, he wasn't aware that Mommy was right behind him listening. Kuya and Ate Bing, I and Omar, and Jenny danced to the tune of El Bimbo and the kids joined us to the tune of Sugar Sugar. Surprisingly, Summer danced too! Onnie choreographed our dance steps. Still, Mommy and Daddy were surprised with our dance number. They didn't expect it to be that good DAW hehehe. Daddy even approached to hug me for a job well done.
It was a magical night with a magic show by Tito Cris, a gift for Mommy from Tito Boy and Tita Leslie. I did not expect the magic show to click with our guests since it was an adult affair. But they had lots of fun watching Danny, Mons Flint and Marion participate in the magic show.

Mommy then had her piece, blew her old-fashioned style cake from Merced Bake House, and souvenirs were distributed. We gave away fans, coasters with psychedelic prints, and CD of 60s music.

We had another set of music of the 60s from the band while other guests stayed to enjoy the music.

Mommy was so happy. Daddy had fun. That was Mommy's simple party. Happy birthday Mommy!
