THE PARTY...
Was as much planning ahead as I did, still had A LOT of last minute things. Friday, started off with printing program and CD covers. With an inkjet printer it seemed like a dot matrix. The kiddies were with me so I decided to take them for a haircut. I found a "made for kids hair salon" only 5 minutes from the house.
They loved it. Mio cried a little bit, but the lollipop helped a lot. Mio got to sit in a car AJ in a plane. AJ was adorable cuz he kept looking in the mirror checkin' out his "do". "mommy, are you proud of me?" They looked very handsome. Once we got home I rushed them into their baths and into their sweats. Damoomoo arranged for us to meet for lunch later that day on my way to the "villa" where we were prepping all the party stuff. We met at Yo-Sushi... great sushi for comparably cheaper price, but the place is very small. It actually reminds me of those roadside diners, like dairy queen.
Dropped off Mio with Nana, and headed to the Villa with AJ. AJ turned out to be a really big help. For those who saw the CD's, AJ placed ALL the covers inside the case! He was very well organized, too! In fact there were times he was calling me slow cuz he ran out of paper inserts!!!
The clapboard place cards created a total nightmare taking much longer than expected. As they were being prepared it got out of alpha order. Then I didn't receive final guest lists and table assignment until 11am the morning of the party! With a late night and late start, I didn't arrive at the hotel until 3pm. The stage was set and it was all starting to come together. But 5 arrived so fast, I was still in my sweats, and I had to recruit Likha peeps to continue with final touches.
Guests were all dressed up in their fancy dresses and tuxes/suits. The red carpet was success and the entertainment was top notch once again... RokStar is definitely making his way to a soloist... Kuya Rudi's dream come true!
The event was fun for all. In fact Auntie called me the other day "hitting the low point". Mygooseneps calls it "post-party depression". But the following weekend was to be a fun-filled weekend in Vegas! so no rest for me, yet!
