1 star in 3 parties
Bryce, my only nephew, just turned one last Nov. 25. It's his first birthday and all I can say is that he's a lucky kid. He is blessed with very loving parents, aunties and grandparents. Being a first-born son, it was a big celebration for the Chinese clan (my bro-in-law is 100% Chinese). As we all know, the Chinese really give high importance to first-born son/s. I knew this since I also have Chinese friends but witnessing how it really means to them was different. I am overwhelmed!
The first celebration was in QC Sports Club. That was the children's party. My sis and bro invited friends, officemates and relatives with their kids. There were a lot of games, organized by Party Perks , and it ended with the celebrator, Bryce himself, giving away loot bags to his guests. The theme then was Winnie the Pooh. Bryce was very adorable in his costume. In fact, parents took pictures of their kids, with Bryce, as souvenirs. Aside from the usual food, there were food carts (dirty ice cream is the best!) everywhere :9
The second celebration was last Sunday, lunchtime, at Gloria Maris in Greenhills. Guests were from both sides of my bro's parents. In short, my family is the only pureblooded Pinoys. There were lots of red envelopes from the guests (hehe). They were also sharing stories of how proud and happy they all were upon knowing that it's a baby boy for the couple. The best part...the food!!!! (I'm already full when I found out we were just done with the appetizer). You know the usual pinoy joke, "as if you'll be slaughtered like a pig after?" --- that was the real feeling. You can't help yourself but eat and eat since all the food served was flavorful and mouth-watering.
The third celebration was dinner time, same day. It's a 3-in-1 celebration: bday of my mom (last Nov. 19, Happy Birthday Mama Boy!), Bryce's bday and reunion, father’s side.
Too much eating and drinking this weekend! As a result.... I had allergies and ended up in the ER of VRP hospital. (But hey, in fairness, by the time I went to the hospital, all the guests went home already).
