Just got home from a party at Club Filipino in San Juan. It was my niece's first birthday. she's a real doll.

It was fun and the place was really classic.

The party was filled with old people, plus the place's ambiance made it interesting, but the theme was magical yet clowny.

One thing I love about the place are the oil paintings of one of my favorite artists, Fernando Amorsolo at a cafe shop. However, the paintings were encased in glass yet gave uncomplementing reflection of light from the outside. The paintings' beauty are hidden.

There was a funny thing that happened.. my cousin, the celebrated mom, rushed to me and pulled me and told me that she'll introduce someone to me. "OK", I said.. and she looked at me as if trying to say something.

I think she hoped that my eyes would sparkle. But I'm certain she had introduced us before.. but I gave the same reaction. ^_^

It was my sister's birthday a few days ago, we ate at Friday's, SM Mall of Asia last night.. my mom wasn't there because she had to work for the neighborhood.

Just a simple dinner and an intimate celebration.

My brother and I surprised her by making arrangements with the staff to sing for her, something Friday's has to offer.

It was cool and I got full.

For this week, it was at my friend's place.

We met at Trinoma and had dinner and went to his house near Congressional Avenue.

 

Cadoo

and Taboo were the night's highlight... yeah, yeah.. kids' stuff.

But it's really fun.

 

 

I asked to be dropped off at my girl friend's birthday party after.

Was supposed to meet someone my girl friend set me up with, but I got word that his folks had him stay in Baguio City.

My auntie/"ninang" celebrated her birthday last weekend, she threw a small informal dinner for 15 at home with us and few of her neighbor friends.

I loved her dinner party! It's themed "Kamayan", where she set up a long table at the backyard garden under the trees and covered it with banana leaves and no spoon and fork will be used, only with our hands, then a nice mood music set the cold evening, and lit torches made of kawayan on the garden walls made the scene very tropical.

She served seafood, crabs, stuffed squid, "sugpo", then there's noodles and rice.

After the dinner, it was turned into a bar where the music became upbeat and modern, and only candles filled the area.. I left while they started getting drunk, I know how different their generation is from mine. Aha. ^_^

It was on the 27th but I celebrated it on the 30th because that's when I had the time.

We had dinner at Pier One behind the SM Mall of Asia, then we played Bowling and we were so noisy! Aha ^_^

I met early with JR, who came home from Singapore and Reyson, who's still on vacation after his tiring chef work at a luxury cruise, while Maco and Prince were doing an MMFF marathon.

I invited a lot of people, but some did not reply but the others backed out the last minute for they were stuck in an engagement or just couldn't make it.. after all, invite many for I know not all would make it.

After dinner, we drove to Music 21 near the Heritage Hotel and continued the party there.

I asked to be dropped off at QC, for I'm having a drinking party at Pag-asa/Bago Bantay, QC.

I got home at 5 in the morning. I had a great one.

Each person has 8 last names derived from our grandparents and in the modern times, rarely do I meet people who know which side of their family they're a part of.

We went to San Miguel Village in Makati City for a family reunion at the Pingol residence.

It was a rare occasion for somehow they're distant relatives already, more of "4th cousins" even 5th.

We were told that it'll happen during the evening, but I said that I won't make it because I have shift that evening, so we had it changed to noon time.. they wouldn't allow that I miss it because I should be there for the family tree book I'm updating.

It was really fun, although not all Siongco/s were there, it is a great way to make it a tradition.

I had a little dream last November 1st, it happened.

I have a dream again, a bigger one, I'll make it happen.

Thinking that there are still a lot whom I haven't met yet.. and we should meet, because after all, we all have the same great-great-great grandparents ^_^

Simple dinner at R's house in Novaliches.

I remember their place but I'm still not familiar how to get there.

I took a cab to Trinoma as they said that I can take an FX from there.

Asked around but nobody could tell me where it is, until I asked a girl with her mom, and learned that they live in the same subdivision I'm going to.

Thank God!

We waited for an hour, and finally, we arrived.

After my dinner party, I went to Pag-asa/Bago Bantay QC to hang out.

Christmas Party at Mikee's yesterday..

only few this year: Mikee, Herbert, Joma, Jiggs, JC, Dennis, me, Rik, Nelson, and Jaja.

We attended first the last Simbang Gabi at San Beda then continued the party.

Games, Stories, Gifts, Food, Showbiz. Party! ^_^

Jomari's 21st birthday, he invited us to his lunch party for us at Shangri-la Chinese Restaurant in West Avenue - Quezon Ave., QC.

There were no cabs today, a little exaggerated.. Mikee didn't bring a ride so we had to take the public transport.

We waited for more than half an hour before we got one.

At the party, there were 9 of us, then there's Herbert's family too. I think Herbert and Joma recently celebrated their 1st anniversary together. Fun.

We then drove around the city to drop off Herbert's mom and sister. We got stuck in traffic, and we decided to have a coffee at Starbucks Bayview.

I got shift tonight, so I left earlier because I know there's scarcity of cabs right now..

I ended 7 minutes late, when in fact, I shouldn't be. Argh.

I attended my good friends' baby's christening.

I am a "ninong" and I'm grateful that they trust me with the responsibility.

Got home from work and took a nap, then went straight to the Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace (EDSA Shrine).

Yeah, I was late, I missed the christening part.

We then went to Bonifacio Heights Clubhouse in Taguig for the reception.

Then I just got home to get dressed and off to the office again without sleep. ^_^
