SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!! LEANNE DY'S SURPRISE 18TH!!!!!!!!!!

- November 29, 2008, Kiko's Restaurant, Puregold, E. Rod. Avenue, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, 6:30pm

- Nalate si Leanne and Jelvin (like mga more than an hour late....) so kumain muna kami....haha....yey buffet....

- Leanne was "surprised"!! Haha, well she was really; she just didn't look like she was....Hahahaha....

- HOSTS: Crystal and I....haha....

- Super successful hosting experience....haha....mas hasa na dila ko....wahahahaha....next hosting "gig" ko sa debut ni Marga naman....haha....(Dec. 5)

- Everything went well naman, haha....

- Kelan pa natutong magguitar si Nellie?!?!?!?!

- Attire for the night: Black Chinese top with golden highlights (the garb was reversible, the other side being gold with black highlights), slacks and a little Chinese ornament that I placed through my belt. I positioned it where the slits of the Chinese top could be found, so the ornament could be seen. Haha....Grabe, buena mano itong debut ni Leanne sa black suit ko. Hahahaha....I call it the Chinamerican look. Haha....Kasi the black Chinese top was of course, not the best thing to wear in a typical Chinese occasion, but the top was going for the pseudo-Americana-polo look, which made the suit formal. Haha....Wow may ganyan pa raw akong nalalaman. Hahahaha....

-more pics to come :D:D:D:D

THE DEBUTSPEDIDA (Debut + Despedida): ERVINA TAN'S 18TH (Advanced Celebration)....

- China Place, Pan Pacific Hotel, Malate, Manila, 6:30pm (nalate kami ni Crisselle)

- AFTER 2 YEARS (or so....), I saw Chabert and Abegail once again....hay, memories, and bukingans....

-katable ng Cinq (and shobe ni Chabert) ang mga DLSU friends ni Ervina....then ayun, binubuking namin mga some things about Chabert sa kanila, and sa shobe ni Chabert....hindi ko nga alam kung may naintindihan yung mga DLSU friends ni Ervina sa amin eh....wala kaming ginawa kundi tumawa nang tumawa....haha....

- mageexchange student si Ervina sa Singapore, so it was like a despedida party also....

- Andun pala si Sir Judes....:D:D:D:D Wahahahaha....wala lang, shocking....hehe....

- Despite the very traditional Chinese setting of the restaurant, I chose to go wearing an Indonesian batik polo (it's a printed batik sadly....not the handmade one....), then with an added touch....the copper-brass necklace that I bought in 2007....it was supposed to be for display lang, kasi alam ko pambabae siya....never in my life did I ever think that I would wear it someday....well I did, and bagay pala....hindi mukhang gay....just, multicultural....bwahahahahaha :D:D:D:D
