We had a simple celebration of Cj's 3rd birthday at Dad's and Kamayan's at SM Megamall Sunday last week. It was only exclusively for my family and my hubby's family. Some got their foods from Dad's merienda buffet (already priced at P190 per head) and for some who still opted to eat rice, they chose Kamayan's lunch buffet (priced at P360 per head).
Both buffet treat were satisfying. I cannot recall the selection available for Kamayan's lunch buffet, but for the merienda buffet (where I also got my meal), there were:
1. Dimsum (Siopao, Mami, Siomai)
2. Chocolate cake
3. Kakanin
4. Spaghetti
5. Carbonarra
6. Cream Puffs
7. Puto and Dinuguan
8. Pancit Bihon
9. Pancit Palabok
10. Ginataan
After the food trip, hubby's family went ahead while we still stayed at the mall and headed of to Kidz Republic! My two girls enjoyed this playground better that Dave's fun house. They were both very energetic at this point and were so much full of excitement as they went up and down the slide and the trampoline, round and round the hanging rubber trees, running around the hanging bridge etc. They can still recall what they did and where they went. And every time they remember that playground, they would always tell me, 'mommy let's go to the jungle playground!'. lol.
How I wish we could go back this weekend but we are so preoccupied with three events. Hopefully we'll be back there again next weekend. I'll be bringing the camera for sure!
Cj @ 3!
Our youngest daughter's birthday is already coming up but haven't got any plans yet till this day. Even if we're done celebrating CJ's birthday together with her ate Missy last month, I feel guilty that i still haven't done any party preparation until now.
Of course we need to celebrate that day. I'm still thinking about what's the best way to celebrate her third birthday.. if it would be celebrated in our home with our relatives, on a resto, or a park, or a small party at a fastfood chain like Mc Donald's or Jollibee.
Here are my thoughts :
1. If it would be celebrated at home:
- i'd like to create a do-it-yourself cupcake package for everyone's entertainment.
- plan to cook turon and pair it with vanilla ice cream
- plan to make cheese or caramel fondue.. i love both but i need to pick just one hahaha
- i don't want to bake a cake this time, since i already baked at their party.. not sure if this is a good idea though
- daddy will cook , no plans yet what he intends to do
2. If it would be celebrated on a park:
- i would still do what i plan to do/cook at home but will bring this on a park for picnic.--the thought sounds tiring though ;(
3. Iif it would be celebrated on a resto
- it would probably be at dad's and would be a merienda buffet for our relatives and close friends
4. If it would be celebrated on a fastfood chain
- this would be fun, but i need to check my guests and need to book the event soon
- we wont do anything elaborate. will just utilize what they have on the party package and will probably invite relatives and close friends only.
Hmm.. can't decide since i also have lots of thought in my head..lots of events this week and next week..
By the way, am so proud that our Cj is already using the potty to pee and poop! No one taught her that;) Also, she sooo loves singing and dancing!

My Supplier Ratings for Missy and CJ's Rockstar Princess Birthday Party!
It's now time to share our feedback and supplier ratings for our two girls' birthday party held last Saturday. I just now realized na talagang wala atang perfect party. Meron at merong konting glitches at malilimutan..
Venue : 49th floor One San Miguel Ave. Bldg
Comment : Very nice place talaga for a party kse nice ang lighting esp ang view outside the bldg. Yung ibang guests pumunta pa talaga sa labas para mag picture-picture.=) BTW, may big poste tong venue na to bandang stage area, kaya to complement that, we told the caterer to situate the stage on the side across the entrance door. Normally kasi, stage is situated on the left side of the entrance door wall( if ganito setup the big poste will really block the stage). On the party picture, you won't even notice na may poste.
Rating : 5* kahit may mahiwagang poste hehehe
Peso power : Free if your order at their caterer is 15k up kaya ours was free
Caterer : Baby Nathan's Catering (official caterer of OSMA Bldg.)
Comment : Sarap sarap ng foods! All guests din were satisfied sa food kaya thumbs up ako dito. Wala na akong fave kasi lahat talaga masarap :) Kasama sa freebie ng catering ang floral centerpieces kaso hindi na ko nagpalagay ng floral centerpieces kse may balloon centerpiece na kasama yung package na nakuha ko sa Party Boosters. Sayang lang kasi hindi pumayag yung caterer na gumawa ng ilang floral decor sa dessert buffet area instead of those floral centerpiece sa table..
Rating : 4* dahil sa hindi napagbigyang floral decors sa dessert buffet :(
Peso Power : 23,800 (260 per head sa adults and 100 per head sa kids)
Balloon Decorator/Venue Dress-up : Party Boosters c/o Jacque (n@wie)
Comment : The best talaga ang Party Booster sa akin. Always superb ang rating ko every time i see them setup parties na kine-cater namin. Mababait din ang staff ni Jacque and helpful. Tinulungan pa ko ng isang staff sa paglagay ng cupcakes sa tower, at mga brownies at mini cupcake sa dessert buffet :) All guests were raving about the beautiful colors of the balloons and the rosset balloon table centerpieces. Nai-uwi pa namin yung mga pillars at nilalaro pa rin til today ng mga girls ko.hehehe
Rating : 5*
Peso Power : 5,500 (balloon pilars, balloon bursts, table centerpieces, and balloonderitas).
Side Entertainment : Arts n Faces c/o Liby (face painting and hair salon)
Comments : Madali kausap at mabait si Ms. Liby. The best yung mga staff na binigay nya sakin. Ang galing talaga ng pag tatoo nila. Luv luv ko rin yung setup ng hair salon nila with the big mirror na may lights, barbie head model, hair color sprays, hair pins, etc. everyone enjoyed this area talga. Sulit na sulit din every penny ko sa kanila. If we have another party, sila pa rin kukunin ko.hehehe
Rating : 5*
Peso Power : 3,800 (promo rate nila :)
Host/Magician with Side kick and Balloon twisting : Boogie n Friends
Comments : Na-disappoint ako dito sa supplier na to. I was hoping to see kuya Boogie mismo kasi sa mga bnf hosts, siya lang talga ang type namin maghost. I always tell grace (yung nakakausap ko sa contact number nila) na si kuya Boogie ang gusto namin. Even on the email i
sent them, i always tell them na si kuya boogie..umooo naman si grace pero hindi pala si boogie ang ipoprovide. They provided a host na long hair like boogie pero walang quality ang hosting. Pure tagalog, may mga palpak na magic, parang hindi coordinated ang program, mejo
hindi alam magencourage ng kids na sumali sa games..basta i was not satisfied. Quite helpful naman ung side kick sakin pero siyempre yung hosting ang importante sa program..
Rating : 3* for coming early, making the guests laugh on some acts, and for the helpful sidekick
Additional Comment (after seeing the pictures) : I guess hindi lang na-meet ng host na pinadala yung standard na hinahanap ko sa host. If it was Boogie talga, im sure I won't have anything to say kasi we were all the while expecting him. Lagi kse kami nasa birthday parties kaya we know kung ano ang meaning ng isang magaling na host. Lesson learned ko lang is next time choose a host na siya rin ang contact person, hindi yung parang companya ang kinakausap.
Peso Power : 3,000
Photographer : Mediamonsters c/o Lisa
Comments : They came in just in time na magsisimula pa lang yung party. I was happy kasi she came with a backup photographer which i did not expect kasi i know sa package na kinuha ko one photographer lang ang kasama. Tapos happy happy din ako kse may kasamang freebie ang nakuha namin. Hope the pictures turn out great!
Rating : 5* as of the moment kse dko pa nakikita ang output
Peso power : 3,500
Guitar Cake and Cupcakes : My Chocolate Heaven (DIY ko)
Comments : Siyempre satisfied ako kse love your own! hehehe. Sabi ng guests masarap ang cupcakes and mga relative na nakatikim ng cake nasarapan din kaya superb irerate ko.whehehe.

Peso power : DIY ko. Pero if costing based from our rates its 5850 + 2k for 75 cupcakes with themed cupcake topper in premium box and

Dessert buffet : My Chocolate Heaven (DIY ko ulit)
Comments : Hiniwalay ko to kase lower irerate ko sa sarili ko..I left the dessert treat labels sa house and due to time constraints (kasi nga its our party), i was not able to put the cream cheese frosting on the mini cupcakes. Nice raves pa rin naman ang guests sa taste.. sarap daw lahat esp yung brownies na may mint (that's Creme de Menthe..wala nga kasing label hehehe), Lemon Mini Cupcakes, Cake pops, at Cheesecake Brownies. So happy na rin to hear that :)
Rating : 4* dahil sa kulang na details
Peso power : DIY again. Pero if costing based from our rates its 5,500+ (70pcs mini cupcakes, 40 pcs cake pops, 3doz cheesecake brownies, 3doz creme de mente brownies, 1 customized silver package chocolate fountain setup, assortment of yema, pastillas, and polvorons
AVP : DIY ni mommy and c/o tito dop (bro ko)
Comments : I love the AVP my bro din. Mejo nasayangan lang ako kasi hindi na-isetup ng maayos yung projector. Mejo nagingn bluish yung color (another not perfect thing that day). But thanks to my dad din for bringing the projector (na galing pa ng province).
Rating : 4* dahil hindi perfect yung output color
Peso power : none
Name tag(na naiwan sa bahay with the dessert station labels kaya sayang..),backdrop,welcome tarp,invites,lootbags,game prizes: labor of love ni mommy at daddy

Missy’s 4th and CJ’s 3rd Rockstart Princess Birthday Party!
It was a stressful day for us pero worth it effort. :)
I and my hubby enjoyed decorating this cupcake tower for baby keisha's wonderland themed 1st birthday party last saturday. Now our wooden tower looks more elegant=)
Mommy Joanna ordered for a chocolate fountain setup (Gold Package) and 50 pcs themed cupcake in a tower. The flavor she initially wanted was Vanilla, but since she ordered for 50pcs, I asked her if she wanted half of her order to be chocolate flavored. I was all smiles when the guests were already eating their cupcakes esp the grandpas who weren't contented with just some bite. Normally I would see cupcake or icing leftovers at party tables.
But for the cupcakes I baked, you'd see guests eating everything. One grandma even approached me just to say that the chocolate fountain tasted great and that guests said the cupcakes were yummy.
Here's the chocolate fountain silver package for her guests.
Cheers!

Missy and CJ's Baby Gift Registry
So glad that our girls are now registered at Rustan's and Toy Kingdom! Thanks to GT about this idea. Initially I thought gift registries are only for soon-to-be-wed couples, baptisms/dedications, and first birthdays. Well, I was wrong about that:)
For those who were able to get the invite with the discount cards from Rustan's and Toy Kingdom, you may buy gifts from any of their outlets even outside Metro Manila.
The difference:
1. At Rustan's - Guests may choose what they want to buy
2. At Toy Kingdom - We picked our wish list so guests can easily identify what the kids want as present
We know Missy and Cj will be very happy to get of any of those items but of course any gift would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance to our guests:)
For our online invited guests, here's what you'll see on their wish list at Toy Kingdom:
One thing I like about this is that guests can easily pick what gift they can bring at the party. And of course they'll be able to buy that item at a discounted cost because of the discount coupon these stores provide.:)
Cheers!

Disney Princess Themed Mini Cake Castle for Chloe=)
I almost forgot to share this cake I made the other week.
Mommy Tina requested me to bake a disney princess themed two-layer mini cake and mini cupcakes for her cute daughter's 1st birthday party. The party was held at the second floor of Mcdo c5 libis, pasig city.
It was fun conceptualizing this cake because its my first time to bake a cake with this theme and my first time to make a castle-like cake fit for our birthday princess.
If you're interested to bake your own castle cake, all you need are the following:
- One 4x3 mini cake
- One 6x3 mini cake
- royal icing
- edible beads
- ice cream cones
- and your decorating materials (spatula, turn table, icing tips, gel icing colors in pink, green, purple, & lemon, and pastry bags)
Befor you begin decorating, make sure you have baked your cake the night before and have kept it safe on your freezer. Also, you may want to put colors on your icing ahead of time so that all you need to do on the day is decorate=)
First step: Put your cake together using a dowel rod and cover with icing
Then pipe green icing to create big leaves at the bottom portion of the cake and vines with small leaves surrounding the 2-layer mini cake.
Then add edible beads to make it look more "princessy"! Is there such a term?
Then add the ice cream cones.. and cover it with whatever icing color you like. I think it will also look cute even without the icing=)
And here's my finished product with some more icing, a flag, and the celebrant's name..
Here's how the setup looks like at the party venue..
Cheers!=)

5. AVP is already done. Thanks to tito dop for the help (eto na ba ang gift?hehehe)
6. Styro guitars for the table centerpiece are ready for painting
7. Taste test done last week. My favorite was the pork, veg, dessert, and chicken=)
Hmm... So with these, my final to-do's would only be the following:
1. Remind the caterer a week before the party that:
- we need 7 more tables for the dessert bar, cupcake tower, cake, gifts, prizes, lootbags, and registration area
- we need to use their overhead screen projector for the AVP
- remove the free floral table centerpiece (as advised by Party Boosters) and instead add floral decoration on the dessert bar, cupcake tower, and cake tables (is this too much to ask na ba??hahaha)
2. Buy nuts and chips for pica-pica (to be served by service crews)
3. Buy litro pack iced teas for extra drinks since the caterer's package only includes one serving of iced tea. The iced tea will be made and served by the service crews. Cool huh?
4. Buy edible treats as addition to the kid's loot bags
5. Buy stuff for Pabitin game
6.
A week before..
6. Remind our online buddies about the party. Also, distribute the invitation to those guest without facebook account. Now I see how important it is to have an fb account, lesser expenses on the invite! lol
7. Look for a friend who can lend me her curling iron for my girls. Anyone..??
A day before..
7. Remind the suppliers about the party
8. Bake dessert treats, cupcakes,and cake (so dami ng DIY ni mommy. Buti na lang supportive si daddy sa pagbili ng mga needed ingredients and materials and matyaga si yaya magligpit ng mess.lol)
Oh gosh.. how come it looks like I still need to do a lot!?!?
Our Missy @ age 3+
While enjoying the party preps, also want to share to you some of Missy's developments that i'm proud of.
1. She's really becoming a good ate to her younger sister. Like for example pag nangungulit si CJ and I would try to scold her, ate Missy would always scold me instead and tell me not to get mad at her sister. lol! Every time this happens I need to explain to ate Missy why I'm getting mad at her sister.
2. She's multilingual. As in sa house English and mode of language niya pero when she's with her friend, who talks pure tagalog,nagtatagalog din siya. Sometimes when her friend is in our house naman and her friend talks in Tagalog, I would ask Missy to translate it in English. So far, so good:)
3. She is so creative. She loves drawing! Nakapag-draw nga ng mermaid swimming in the sea. Ang galing! Tapos she explains to me what's on her drawing.. Also, she would always try to make stuff around her into something else. Like the cookies, she'll make it into a flower. There was even this one time when she asked me to cook butterfly pancakes.
4. She so loves dancing! Naku eto ang sigurado kong namana niya sakin.lol^_^ Basta makarinig yan ng music from a movie or song from you tube, siguradong she'll dance like a ballerina. A lot of times when I see her do that, i feel guilty that we stopped going to her ballet lessons (malayo raw kasi yung place sabi ni hubby plus the business is keeping us busy over the weekend). But, we're planning to check out the dance studio in Market! Market! Sana lang maganda dun..
5. She knows how to play online games. I'm so proud that my turning 4-year old knows how to click and drag the mouse to play online games over the net. Sometimes almost 5 hours siya infront of the computer just playing games or watching interactive stories from disney.go.com and fisher-price.com/us/playtime
So far am happy about my Missy's mental, social, and skills development=) Pero we plan to put her to school by next year kaya I'm already checking out feedbacks of other parents from tge different progressive schools. Will blog about those schools that I find interesting on another post;)
