Our Barkada Christmas Party

We had our annual Christmas party cum reunion with my highschool friends from St. Paul Pasig last night here at our home. It was my first time to host our annual Christmas party and I must say, talagang kina-career ko sya! Hahaha!

My friends knew that it's going to be a different experience from our previous gatherings since ako nag-prepare! (arte and drama wise!) Hence, I made sure everything was well-thought of including party theme, food set-up, presentation, games and even our raffle prizes. My friends were surprised with the gimiks I prepared and they were really happy because this was our first party that was truly unforgettable and fun for all of us.

Syempre I was really happy that the party was a success and really went great! They enjoyed my "jologs" games and raffle... Yeehheey! galing-galing di ba!?! Everybody went home pa may gifts bitbit.

Anyway, sharing some of our party pictures...

Table set up for 12 guests...kinda formal set up di ba?! And placed little santa bells as accent cum souvenirs

(shhh...got my little santa bells from Dapitan..hihihi! tuwang-tuwa sila i-take home!)

It's a potluck party but I prepared buffet set up complete with food warmers pa... parang catered noh?! We had yummy buttered shrimp, tempura, chili crab from Dampa, Libis. Sushi platter from Kitaro as appetizers. Crispy noodles from North Park. Lechon manok from Andok's. Refrigerated cake as dessert. My nido soup with quail eggs, inihaw na liempo and our favorite...chocolate fountain (sure hit!)
Up close with my yummy choco-fountain with melon, grapes, wafer sticks and marshmallows as dip!

(sadly, after more than 3 hours of running...bogged down yun choco fountain!! waah...)

Even the kids also aligned with our party theme colors..red and green! otherwise, if di naka-theme pay up P500 for raffle and games!
My highschool barkada with our hubbies.... originally ten kami..but others migrated na to US and SNG.
wa-epek ang formal set up with crabs and shrimps?! lol. Sarap kaya kumain using bare hands?! hahaha!kids at the background..busy at the choco fountain!
Seryoso di ba? P100 lang at stake dyan... Memory game (or Chandler's top list) Sample Jologs Question: History....List the names of Bagets 1 and 2 stars! Bwahaha!
Another jologs question : Current Events... list the names of PBB Housemates Season 1 and 2! Hahaha!
Raffle time... pastillas! Syempre wala kami take home ni Mike. Kami game show host eh! Hahaha!
Since the party was a great hit..we've decided to celebrate again this coming June 2008 for our 20th-year anniversary as barkada!?! (shhh....obvious na ba sa age?! lol.)

I am really excited na! We want to celebrate with style... kaya, we are thinking of buying personalized gold jewelry ie: friendship bracelet or pendant for us. Aliw di ba?! Hahaha!

Anyway, party preps almost seven months away pa naman..got lots of time to decide and prepare pa! Excited ulit!! :)

Thanks guys... really love you all! Super enjoy talaga to reminisce and kwento lang... sa uulitin...
