Something to look forward to when turning 7.

It was almost 4PM when we reached Jollibee West Ave. The party was supposed to start at 3 but… of course you already know why. It was much like my own 7th birthday party. It was also at Jollibee (Padre Faura, I think). I was supposed to be picked up right after my class. 6:30PM, the school guard and I were having the most interesting heart-to-heart talk and in came my dad. I was shocked when I saw people I know and some other people I don’t know. Well, not just yet.

Sam seemed happy (not quite surprised) that she’s having a surprise party. I wasn’t there when they declared that she’s having one, so I won’t be able to tell how kiddie-happy she reacted. I’m sure somewhere in her mind, she was expecting it.

It went on like a usual kiddie party. I thought I could save myself from being called on as game participant by posing as a photographer, but that didn’t stop the annoying emcee from forcing me to join. It was a battle for the sexes, and I was surprised on how competitive the guys in my team were. I guess when you turn thirtysomething, the same thing will befall you.

I took some photos. My childhood idea of Jollibee being a boy was shattered at this party. I found out right then why they chose a bee as a mascot… you can’t tell if he’s a he or a she, or both.

Kids
Making faces. Sam’s the one in the middle.

Hat Dance
New Age Party Hat. Must be the reason why there has been a sudden need for industrial designers. Kitch wanted one.

Kids Again
The main event. Why can’t it be Hetty Spaghetti? Or Champ? Or that guy with the coat and the burgerhat? I’ll understand why Chickie can’t come.

Mockery
If you can’t beat them… Do something that would make it to the frontpage.

Jolly
Monkey in the middle. This mascot apparently “harassed” me. I later on found out that it was a guy inside the big ball of crap. Can’t be any jollier than that.

From under the pink tree.

A lot of things had happened since my last update. Kitch’s capping, her barkada’s reunion, our barkada’s “supposed” reunion (eventhough I wasn’t there), and my birthday. Apologies to my faithful readers (aka Blog-lurkers) for being so hard on you by not updating religiously… I could just imagine how you skipped your meals and your daily telenovela marathon. I’ll try to be a little nicer in the coming weeks.

Last night, Kitch and I went to the Baywalk area. It is worth mentioning that this pushed through UNPLANNED… unlike most events I KNOW. Haha. We took a walk along the boulevard and I was quite surprised (underscore quite) to find a lot of bands (and bars) playing that night. Whatever your musical taste is, I’m sure you’ll find something worth the “pseudo-consumable fee”. Everyone tries to please everybody. Now, if the same thing will happen with the government… Nah, wishful thinking about a nice, corruption-free country is so overrated. Here are some nice photos (aka an excuse for going there) that could well substitute for a pack of Chocnut.

The Pink Being
If you build it, they will come. Oh yeah, and please do something about the government.

PedXing
Light Crossing. It was supposed to be Kitch instead of these unknown people, until two inseparable lovers blocked her.

Horsie
Horsie’s NightOut. This was inspired by my cousin-in-law’s (Jeff) photo of probably the same horse and the same jockey, only his was taken in the afternoon.

The Taho Vendor
It must be the soya. Kitch buying taho.

KitchXing
Light Crossing 2. Finally… but no, these people don’t get it. She MUST be alone.

Diamond Hotel
Play with lights… Or just plain spastic.

The Pier
Play with lights 2… This made me think about laying off the oh-so-wonderful Vitamin J.

Always.
Thirst-quencher. The non-alcoholic version of Egan’s photo.

The trio
The three horsemen of bread. My sis, Ariadne, Max, and Kitch at Panay Kalipay.

I noticed that most of the photos I take come out blurry. I plan to take up a non-Vitamin J diet real soon if I want my photos to be nice to look at. Haha.
