Before we start the main program we had our mini game at the side of the room we need to finish  the 3 play booths so that we can get our loot bag after the program and my favorite part LOL we devour our lunch buffet.

Here comes the party games for adults and kids and magic show.

My Son’s 7th KFC Birthday Party

Hello everyone! Yesterday my family, friends and my son’s classmates had so much fun! Why? Because we gathered together to celebrate my son’s 7th birthday party at KFC Nagtahan. We invited 100+ guests because we wanted to invite all his classmates and friends to his party. This is his 7th birthday its like a debut for kids so we wanted to make it simple but extravagant celebration. I love the ambiance of the venue its huge and clean. The birthday theme is happened to be his favorite cartoon character its sponge bob square pants. We are disappointed that they did not include balloons to there birthday package they are more expensive compared to jollibee. My husband decided to bought balloons at divisoria so that he can get a cheap prize. I requested a two tower balloon and my husband did not disappoint me he did it all by himself very thankful for my husband for all his hard work and effort. 

The party starts with the usual opening prayer, more games and prizes, Colonel Sanders mascott appearance, picture taking, food, greetings to the birthday celebrant, blowing the cake and distribution of loot bags for kids. 

They don’t have cake they only have donut lollipop to the birthday celebrant. How can he blow a cake and make a wish if he don’t have one its a birthday tradition. Good thing my husband’s brother gave a birthday cake to my son as a gift so we don’t need to buy one and also my friend sponsored a butterscotch dessert balls to all the kids guests. 

I made the party more exciting i booked a face painting session for all the kids. They enjoyed it! They fall in line and patiently waited to get there face painted. My son requested Flash to put on his cheek as his favorite super hero. Kuya face painter is on time and his service is very affordable. He did his job well and the kids loved it! The face paint is non toxic and  hypoallergenic so its good for the kids skin. 

KFC is not that good when it comes to birthday parties but the most important is we all enjoyed the party! We had so much fun! More memorable photos and laughter!

Meditation Class & Mini Bazaar

This year i started collecting crystals, i saw it once in Instagram. I got curious so i searched online for an authentic and affordable shop to buy my first ever crystal. I learn how to cleanse & charge them. I got attached to them, i put them at the back of my pillow when i sleep, i also bring them everywhere i go. I believe in there unique powers and abilities. I also found out about Ms Kirsty Norton on the internet she is an australian citizen based in manila ph. She is well known as a jewelry maker and a crystal healer. I immediately followed her on instagram and after a week of stalking her i saw on her post that she will be having an upcoming meditation class and mini bazaar located in Maginhawa QC. I contacted her right away and she invited me on her viber group. I paid 500 pesos to attend the meditation class.

We introduced our selves first before we start the class. 

The meditation class last for 30 minutes. The guru ask as individually what we are seeing while we are having a meditation class. Others saw nature, sky, ocean and outer space. On my experienced i saw nothing just a white background. I feel more relax, at peace with my mind, body and soul. Honestly i want to lay down and sleep after the meditation. 

The guru introduced us to angel cards and she let us all pick one card. The card that we picked represent our personality and what we are going through in life. 

After the meditation we had our snack. 

The last part of the event is the mini bazaar i bought an essential oils, crystals and palo santo. If we want our crystals to recharge Ms Kirtsy Norton will do it for free. 

That’s all! Thank you for reading and until my next one! 

Shang Safari Treasure Hunt

Hello everyone! Tonight i will be sharing to all of you my son’s first ever Easter Egg Hunt Activity happened a while ago held at Shangri-La Mall. I saw there event at there Instagram account. Luckily my good friend is in Shangri-La Mall for her 3 days bazaar, so i asked her a favor to bought a ticket for me. They also giving away free tickets to there social media account and again fortunately my friend and i won 2 tickets each. She don’t have kids so she gave me her winning tickets. All in all i got 5 tickets lucky me! This is totally my day! So i decided to invite my whole gang including my son who is more excited than me, my dearly husband, and two of my sons cousins. The more the merrier!

Before we proceed to the main activity we fall in line first at the main entrance to show our tickets so that the kids can get there Eco bag (they need it to put there candies) there’s treasure hunt cap, ID, safari map and hunter license. 

Its our decision if we want to start the easter egg hunt or eat first at the food stall. Majority of us wants to eat first to boost our energy for our Egg Hunting. 

There’s a lot of food stalls at the right and left side of the event area. 

Now that we are full from all the snacks that we ate it is time to start the Treasure Hunting. We followed the map and go to different mall boutique to get candies and goodies from them. They will put sticker once we got something from them to indicate that we are done. My job on this event is to be an official photographer as usual while my husband and the kids helped each other to finish the activity

At last we are done treasure hunting. We rest for a while to watched the magic show and safari dance performance for our last activity.

And were done! Its time to go home! We had so much fun!
