Sebastian's Shower!!!

My friends, Eda and Chino, and I decided to throw one of our PSID friends a baby shower. We did not have much time to conceptualize and buy props but I think in the end, it turned out to be really charming with  Mary Grace as the venue and the wood toys as centerpieces. All under a really really good budget. (Meaning: We were pretty resourceful!) 

Chino thought of the toys and balloons, I made the invitation. Eda organized with the family and we all bought the props as well as bring it all together. Good job guys.  

Chino's pride and joy: The vegan T-Rex and the peacock he did with Ally.

My Ferris wheel! One of the titas loved it and brought it home! 

 

Eda made the train and thought of buying the blocks to accompany the pieces. 

The Beautiful Couple: Kat and Richard! Happy you liked the party! =D

 

The Bodestyne Family PLUS Chino.  

PSID girls: Me, Eda and Iriss

The dad of the mom-to-be giving a speech. Some of the guests loved the centerpieces so they brought them home. Yay! Success! Besides, it was fun assembling those toys. Not to mention the adrenaline rush since we did them just that morning. Good thing no one noticed. hehe

Congrats again to the lucky couple and can't wait to meet Sebastian really really soon!

Bucket List Item number.... (I'm not sure what)... but CHECK!!!!

September was a month of many firsts. It was my FIRST time to go to Hawaii. It was my first time to room with people I just met and it was my first time to go SKYDIVING!!! *woot! woot!* It was not scary at all. Take note I was probably numb from all the partying I did the night before and was about to pass out. Good thing it wasn't that obvious in the pictures. I STILL can't believe it's DONE and it was AWESOME!

The JUMP!!! 14,400 feet above sea level

Rio's Royal Rendezvous a.k.a. Baby Shower

 

When my girlfriend Rio asked me to throw her a baby shower, Pam and I decided to go with the royal theme which was inspired by the recent royal wedding. In a few days, this is what we came up with. Pam sponsored the food while I did the snacks and design. I set up the day before because I knew I wouldn't be able to wake up early on a Sunday morning. Nonetheless, things went smoothly and Rio was really happy with the outcome. 

Flowers all came from Dangwa. I won't divulge the prices but this is definitely the place to go if you need to buy a lot.

These canapes came from Delifrance and were the first to go!

Coffee table books were also mixed into the set up.

I tried pouring tea for the guests.The hat I was wearing and the purple one on Rio both came from Hat Momma.

Rio at seven months. =)

The Guests! So happy most of them were game to join in the fun! Hope you had fun Rio!

We love you Rio and Pong!

Best Wishes,
Ninang Cal and Ally.
