THE ONE WITH THE BRIGHT EYES

June 6, 2008

THE DEBUT WAS A SUCCESS! CONSIDERING THAT IT WAS A SURPRISE PARTY WHICH IS THE HARDEST THING TO PLAN, TURNED OUT REALLY WELL. 

THE BIGGEST YEY TO THE MOST WONDERFULEST TITA ANYONE COULD ASK FOR..

ATE ROXX, MUCH LOVE. haha.

 

everybody was insanely busy during the day. last minute preparations and rehersals took up the whole morning for the organizers, so i was basically left all alone in house. HAHA. people started dressing up in their “smart-casual” black or red things at around 6PM then left for Makati Park. 

the place was beautiful and shiny. HAHA. it was kitchen themed, so there were cookie cutters hanging from everywhere.

it was the classic blindfold, turned off lights thing then yeling “surprise!”, routine. i finally found use for the huge party popper Earl gave me for Christmas, so thanks, Earl. HAHA. 

the debutant was definitely surprised. she was teary-eyed for the most part of the party. the party opened with the prayer from the loving? Kuya. HAHA. then a message from Tita Susan. after the lovey-dovey stuff, a few my cousins gave a dance performance. they got to the their breakdancing and whatnot. HAHA.

next was the food! amazing food!

the krispy kangkong is a new fave. nuff’ said. HAHA.

after everybody had their helping, it was time for the traditional debut observances. in the spirit of the theme, we had “18 Cooking Untensils” thing. HAHA. close college and highschool friends had their turns to give the birthday girl a cooking utensil which somehow represented her. 

“Si Roxanne daw, eggbeater.” HAHA. 

then the 18 roses, then the 18 candles. i had to dance, seriously. HAHA.

then the real party began. people started dancing and drinking like crazy. everybody dancing their *sses off is a fun thing to watch. HAHA. people were starting to literally end up on the dance floor. HAHA. 

after everything and everyone settled down, people started to say their goodbyes. we were the last people to leave the place since we were the ones suppose to pack up. HAHA. after some chitchat, the usual family stuff. we headed home. 

 

all in all, i had a blast at the party. everybody just let loose and had the greatest time. a chance to let all guards down is the best thing that happened to in days.

people should have debuts more often, or start inviting me to them. HAHA. 

seriously.
