The one with the party ratings

Another message i posted at w@w. I just wish i could post na the pics.

I only have to rate a few suppliers since labor of love halos lahat...

1. Venue: 10++ Tan's residence-since this is his last bday as a bachelor, there is no place better to spend it than at their house.

+ saya, super made up yung garage nila na parang children's party tlga...may balloons pa ha.
- mejo mainit at first, pero after a few hours, lumamig rin ang place.

2. Caterer - 10++++
Jane & Skokie(his sisters)-made pasta, lumpia, baked macarroons for dessert and goldilocks brownies. ordered bbq fr. grill queen.
+ everything was delicious!

My mom - made Chicken afritada that would feed 50 pax ata, eh 30 lang naman kme dun. hehe, i love my mom. pati rice, sya din kc libre naman sa ofc namin ang rice eh. :)
+syempre, super sarap din!!! it was a bestseller.

Naan, my barkada - she made almond/lychee/kaong gelatin w/ cream. simon likes gelatin so much, ako, ayoko! pero i was made to eat it kc ang sarap nga. inimbento nya lang actually eh pero the best.
+everyone in simon's family was asking naan how to make the gelatin...need i say more!?

3. Party hats, banner - Spongebob. bought it at parola. hats at P3 each and banner at P25.
+simon wore his party hat the whole time, as in! feel na feel na celebrant.

4. Signature sheet - DIY
o diba?! may signature sheet pa. hehe, spongebob pa din. kaya lang may kaengotan ako eh...di ko napa-sign!!! hahaha...ano pang silbi! pinang-display ko na lang ngayon.

5. Sound system - Simon's equipments
may set-up tlga sya for rent. ni set-up na lang ng friend namin while he was out. sbi ng friend namin si lan-lan, may kulang daw na PL (parang cable). kunwari
nihiram ko kay simon. tanong nya sino gagamit, sabi ko kuya ko. sabi nya, "san nya gagamitin ung PL eh drummer sya ha?" di na lang ako sumagot.hehe...

6. The Man - Lan-lan
this i have to give credit to, super duper bait. 11am pa lang nasa house na nila, tas sya bumili ng balloons, while naka-motor!hahaha. sya din bili bbq, and ayos lahat ng man's work! the best! he's a very good friend of simon. they come from way back pa.

7. Cake - Emily of Sugarbox 10++++++++++++
simon's bday cake

this i saved the last...as you all know, originally dapat sa goldilocks lang me kukuha ng cake, pero O.S. ang spongebob nila. ang O.A. noh? so wella suggested
me to text emily. oo nga naman, may kilala pala akong cake designer. so i texted emily and gave her my budget. i gave her the same price nung sa goldi cake, P700. then, she texted me the specs ng cake. it's a 12" round cake with 3" in height. chocolate flavor, with caramel syrup on the side. (yung once you've sliced the cake, pwede mo lagyan ng caramel para super sarap!) P750 quote nya sa ken, isip ko naman ok na yun...sabi ko dapat andun si patrick ha. (mas fave ko yun eh!) i texted her 2 days before the party, pero she was still able to do it. :)

+ so she delivered the cake earlier pa than the set time na 11am. free delivery in my ofc. my ofcmates were amazed with the cake, they asked for her number. hehe.
ganda kc may house pa ni spongebob yung cake! promise! everthing was edible except for spongebob and patrick. she can make gumpaste daw pero, isip nya para may
souvenirs daw kme of the cake. true enough, mas nagustuhan namin na figurine na lang nga. it was not fondant, boiled icing sya...pero nice tlga. our families can only rave about the cake. super siksik sya, as in! ang bigat nga eh. and sa loob ng cake,
parang may choc. syrup pa sya. yum, yum. and yun sa pinakaloob, may white icing naman. hmmm...sarap pa rin! i'll post the pics sa blog ko later...have to
learn how to do it pa. emily is just great. yun lang.

- the only fallback is since boiled icing sya, matigas on the outside pero sa loob nde naman...mejo nahulog lang yung isang dahon nung gabi na...pero still, ganda
pa rin.

ang saya! ask ni simon kung pwede pa daw isa pang party?! hehehe...oh no!
