My son’s 1st birthday party last May 25, 2008 at Tramway Garden Buffet at Timog Ave. Q.C., Phils.

Theme: Finding Nemo

Venue set up: Kidstarkastles (10+++++)
They managed to turn the venue where everyone could really feel your theme. Such a colorful venue that kids never thought of going home, adrenaline never ceases in their system as the entire place is truly wonderful! Imma and her team are truly very creative and helpful. highly recommended…less worries!

Foodcart: Ice Cream (c/o kidstarkastles) (10++++)
It was a blast both for kids and adults. We ordered for 150 guests and yet it still goes beyond the agreed content.

Cakes: Kitchen Krafts (c/o kidstarkastles) (10++++)
At first im really having a hard time to decide what size of cake to order, coz im having this feeling that it’s gonna be a waste if it’s sweet and most of the family can’t consume sweet pastires but then…my expectation were met…it’s not that sweet and it’s really moist.

Cupcakes: Cake Fashion (10++++)
I ordered a baptismal theme cuppies as a token for our guests. It was a hit both for kids and adults. The cake artist is easy to deal with and have done a truly cutie cuppies for my son, so adorable that the guests can’t wait to get hold of it.. after the event everyone has been calling me to compliment such. Not that sweet and so moist that their kids want to have such for their birthdays!

Host/Magician: Flooch (10++++)
Flooch is so professional. He’s at the venue very early. Great to have him you don’t have to worry how to entertain the kids and adults, he already had his attention already for they have been coaching their children during the games where their kids have participated.

Very prompt and very easy to deal with…professional and he was able to make my son smile even with on his tantrum state…all in all…thumbs up! right after the party we already have the cd pictures taken during the event.

Video Coverage: John Aguas (10+++)

highly recommended! no hassle transaction eventhough we only close our deal thru text messages he was able to pull off all the important points during the event. they’re very precise with the edited video….at their price you get the quality you’ll need to save the events highlights.

Prizes: Toy Kindom and Anding’s (10+)
kids were attracted to all the toys and gameboards that we have bought that we didn’t encounter any problems for the kids to participate.

Invitation: DIY c/o hubby (10++++)
Two thumbs up! inspite of his busy schedule he finds time to accommodate this task for our son.

I’m down with Fever

now im the one who’s sick now!  what i mean by that is, i have fever, got my baby’s virus of cough and colds…and the encruciating headache kills me.  i wonder how it was when my baby felt it? no wonder he keeps on crying the whole time that he has fever then.  oh well…there are days that you feel you’re healthy, hygienic and blessed and some days are not.  I’m truly disappointed, for we couldn’t trace where did these disease/virus came from that struck the three of us…i mean THREE and that includes my husband.. isn’t that sweet of us all at the same time? hehe no it’s not! it’s truly difficult…you couldn’t simply move and touch everything!  for my son’s quite ok now except for his mild cough and colds..guess i should be thankful then that the fever has gone already.  atleast might be thankful than be disturb right?

Tonsilitis on babies

one thing that confused me is how should i be feeling right now…should i be relieved that finally it’s a working day and we get the chance to see my son’s pedia and calmed us that there’s nothing to worry about it’s just a sore throat that is curable with antibiotics which he should take for 7 days…but then hey it’s antibiotic!!! shouldn’t i be alarmed? inspite my very meticulous way of taking care of him at 10months he will be taking antibiotics is it safe? i mean in the long run should i regret the fact that i did not do my best for him to be well-protected most especially with sore throat…true! some says i should be thankful that it’s not that worst than everybodys’ thought for he’s been having a fever for 3days and non-stop i mean not even a paracetamol could cure him…we thought it’s already Dengue his pedia even suggested for a blood test just to make sure…huh? blood test? i felt the shiver at the back of my neck upon reading her text message and im worried sick.  That was the longest weekend i have ever been into…could you imagine from Saturday…and unfortunately for us Monday has been declared a non-working holiday inshort prolong the agony before we could get the chance to know what’s happening.  oh well…i could say i am more calmed and relax now. all i can suggest to you readers that you really need to take your vitamins DAILY.  of course it should also be supported with proper diet…With the weather that we are experiencing it’s truly attracting all kinds of diseases / viruses one could have.

Fever Dilemma

Why? of all dates…why now?! im not saying im the one who has a fever but my beloved son just got a fever this noon and we still don’t know the reason.  I called his pedia and she advised us to observe…and she told us that maybe he’s about to catch cough or cold .  Geez! hubby and i have been toying the idea of going out to celebrate his birthday for a change…and now…!what a surprise!  this is supposed to be the first birthday of my hubby as Daddy..oh well..Life is so…full of surprises!
