xmas party – college friends

our xmas party last dec 10 was a success.  it was held in jollibee muñoz.  though there was a minor problem with the sound system, it turned out okay pa rin.

cora, ken, cianna and kiandra plus yaya was first to arrive ~*1pm pa lang ata nandun na cla*~.  then me and johann with my tito, tita and cousin.  then jhanet, riko, bianca and justin minus baby joshua.  then yeng, bimbo and samuel plus other relatives.  then alice, jeck, pau and alyssah. then mae and her pamangkin gelo.  then regie, her hubby and ramon ~*my inaanak*~.  joan also arrived. and as usual late c lie minus fred *~she arrived when we’re already eating*~.

we had some games.  as in konti lang, kse di mapasunod ang mga kids.  funny kwento with one of the game, pop the balloon.  the balloons mae bought was thick, the kids can’t pop it on their own.  they just keep on bouncing.  the mommies/titas had to prick it with a pin.

after the games we had meryenda/dinner.  when everybody’s almost finished eating, the jollibee mascot came out.  this was a surprise for everybody except for yeng and me.  we we’re not supposed to get a mascot since there’s an additional fee of 800 pesos.  but i thought that there are so many kids and since its a jollibee party kids expect the mascot to appear.  then yeng asked me if we can still get a mascot.  told her that i do plan to get a mascot to surprise everybody so we shared the cost of the mascot.  800 pesos is nothing compared to the happy and excited faces of the kids and the mommies when jollibee appeared ~*except for ramon and cianna, they were scared of jollibee*~.  they were so excited that they didn’t wait for jollibee to go to the center of the room.  they just keep on taking pictures of their kids with jollibee.  since there’s no sound system, jollibee danced the “boom tarat tarat” na lang.  after the very long picture taking session with jollibee, he had to leave na and we also have to wrap it up since our reservation is ’til 5pm only.  i gave out johann’s gift to everybody and we all left the place almost 6pm na.

it was indeed a great party.  super happy ang mga kids.  out numbered na ang adults sa dami ng kids.
