We just celebrated Justin's 2nd birthday last weekend, 21st. Sa Aug 30 pa actually bday nya but we have to do the party early coz my hubby's family in LA came over. So that's the main reason why I rarely go online and chat or email, well, except with my popski...

The party was a blast! Daming tao... napuno ang munti naming tahanan. (We really need to have a bigger one, huh. Kelan kaya yun?! hehehe) The stage momma did almost everything from the invitation to the party favors to banner and decorations and of course the menu! Hehehe. Proud lang ako. It's just that I can't help but to be joyous that I did it and it was a success.

Spongebob squarepants' the party theme. But I didn't dwell much of the spongebob thing. Medyo expensive din mga gamit eh and besides Justin's doesn't know it pa naman eh, or should I say would not really care about it naman. But the important stuffs for a birthday were all spongebob - cake, party favors, banner, balloons.

He got tons of toys... dami na namang pangkalat! hehehe. Justin's a bit warm (got sinat, feverish) last Saturday, overwhelmed siguro sa dami ng tao. Hehehe. But he enjoyed opening his gifts though. Sayang, wala si Jef, kasi for sure mag-e-enjoy din yun sa gifts ni Koks namin. Hehehe. He received battery-operated car where he can ride, drive, and do some manuevers... from daddy and momma of course! And a spongebob boombox with cd/cassette/AM/FM. Lots of different pretend toys of Little People, Wiggles, Barney, Little Tykes were in Koks' hands.

Menu? I made several dishes and desserts. Mabili ang kare-kare ko! Hehehe. Well actually lahat naman halos e naubos agad. O gutom lang ata mga bisita namin...?!?! Hehehe. But kidding aside, it's a festive and everyone left with their breadbasket's full.

So aside from the kare-kare we got mushroom meatloaf, pineapple glazed pork bbq, spaghetti with meatballs (pinoy style - with the sweetness on it! kids love it!) sushi tray (I just bought this coz I got no time to make my own sushi...masyado nang matrabaho!), buffalo chicken, rellenong bangus (milkfish), baked mussels, and pickled shrimp for appetizer. Desserts were tiramisu, blueberry cheesecake, ube halaya, and my cousin brought some cassava cake. O yah, the berry chocolate truffled spongebob cake courtesy of my mom and dad kasi nakalagay dun sa cake: Happy 2nd Birthday Justin!!! Love, Lola Siony and Papa Emong.

O tomguts na ba kayo? Hehehe. Ako rin nga e... well I just grub a spoonful of halaya earlier so I think I can go on with this email a few more notes.... Hehehhe.

Ok. So the last thing I need to say here..... asan na gift nyo?! Hehehe.

Take care you guys ok. God bless.
