My sister's Last Party as a Single Lady

We (the family) threw a bridal shower for my engaged sister yesterday. We got two function rooms from Oakwood Premier Joy-Nostalg at Ortigas via Deal Grocer and made good use of them.

One function room held chairs for our foot spa/manicure/pedicure session while the other function room was where the buffet was.

I was impressed with the whole set up and the service the hotel's staff gave us. The food was pretty good as well!

Included in the package were:

1. A buffet setup with 4 appetizers, 1 choice of soup, 6 main dishes, and 3 dessert choices:

Appetizers: Deviled eggs with caviar, Seafood cocktail, Potato salad with smoked turkey, and Assorted greens salad bar with choice of dressing

Soup: Potato leek soup with smoked ham

Hot Items: Filled chicken breast with smoked ham, Parrot fish with lemon sauce, Beef fricadelles with lemon sauce, Chive fried rice, Buttered Vegetables, and Penne Al Freddo

Dessert: Tropical Fruit Platter, Black and White Brownies, and Banana Turon

*Iced tea was bottomless and there was Coffee/Tea

2. Registration table
3. Three (3) round tables with flower centerpiece
4. Stage
5. Cake Table
6. Two - layered cake
7. Overnight accommodation in a One-Bedroom Deluxe
8. Microphones and PA system
9. Built in screen for projector (client has to provide the projector though)
10. Complimentary parking passes

The mani-pedi set up was an add-on. :)

Sadly, I wasn't able to get too many photos of the setup because I was late. :( I blame Manila traffic. :(

But my sister and her fiancé did seem happy with the whole event, so it made my day. :)

Baguio City 2017 - Day 3

DAY 3 Here's a glimpse (with pictures) of what the inside of our rented house at St. Patrick looks like. The house can be rented for Php 18,000 a night. It was pricey for our small group, but would have been worth it for a bigger group. Room# 1 at Lower Ground CR inside Room # 1 Stairs going to the main floor Living room (Main door is on the right) Dining room just across the living room Kitchen (Pots and pans, knives, chopping board, plates, utensils, rice cooker, water dispenser with 5 Gal water, water kettle are all provided.) Room # 2 at Main floor CR just outside Room # 2 Stairs leading to 2nd Floor Room# 3: Master's Bedroom (there's a CR inside) Room # 4 across the Master's Bedroom (CR located beside the room) Stairs going to Attic St. Patrick Village was nice enough to hold my downpayment for 1 year. We were supposed to go last year, but we had a family emergency. I was really charmed by this place (...

NAIA 2 and its Infant Feeding Station

A few weeks ago, I had to travel to Canada without MBS. With the long haul flight and being outside my own comfort zone, I realized I was going to have a hard time with pumping and breast milk handling. Thoughts of where I was going to pump, how I was going to pump (in public areas) worried me. So, I'd have to say that I was immensely happy when I saw the Infant Feeding Station at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2. The station is located at the left end of the waiting area after you pass the carry-on luggage X-ray and metal detector. The sign of the station was a bit hard (for me) to see because firstly, I have blurry vision and secondly, the sign was way smaller than the MASSAGE sign beside it. But the station was truly a welcome sight, esp. since it's air-conditioned inside. I got a chance to beat the warm temperature in the waiting area for a while. :) Hopefully someday, all airports will soon be equipped with their o...

Hong Kong Disneyland (June 2018)

Since MBS kept true to her goal of getting a gold merit award on the 4th grading of her K1 journey (Yay!), I had to keep my word of granting her wish - a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. We arrived at HKIA around 5:30pm and had our dinner first before heading to the happiest place in the world. I loved that they cut the noodles for the kids so they won't have a hard time eating! MBS LM After filling our tummies, we headed off to the taxi area. HK taxis are set into three categories or colors, depending on the area: red for urban/city areas, blue for Lantau island, and green for New Territories. All three colors can bring us HK Disneyland. However, the red one is a bit more expensive than the green and blue ones. We took the green taxi. The ride to the Disneyland Explorer's Lodge cost us 147 HKD. Finally, we checked into HK Disneyland's Explorer Lodge! Hong Kong Disneyland offers three hotel choices: Disneyland Hotel, Hollywood Hotel, a...
