The best Breakfast at Tiffany's.
We wanted to give you the world... Yet, we thought we'd take you on a weekend at the Larabee Mansion in Tuscany or a Roman Holiday. Perhaps, we can just have breakfast at Tiffany's in the big city.
Happy Birthday, Princess!
You only get to be eighteen once. So better make the best out of it.
And so I welcomed my eighteenth year with a blast by having an awesome debut party the other night. Almost everyone I wanted to attend came, and that made the event a lot funner. Friends, family, and family friends were there to share the wonderful event with me. (I finally got to meet Patty!)
I cried a lot, especially when the 18 Candles gave their wishes. My parents' speech was just unbelievably touching! (Alv admitted to have cried too as he listened to it!)
When it was Ate Jack's turn (Ate Jack is my "favorite cousin" even if we're actually just cousins of our Asido-Sumilang cousins) to make her speech, we both got teary-eyed even just as she started!
The 18 Roses part was also fun! I got to dance with my boys, haha! The emcee Chiqui even remembered Joe as the guy who first gave me a twirl! ;)
I also loved the AVP for the 18 Treasures, it was great! I loved all the Treasures they gave me. I was also surprised by a few revelations, like when Mia said I had a lot of "boys" (haha!) and when Shobe said, "...so you won't get caught in Chem taking pictures during class anymore!" and how Clauds' speech was really sweet and serious. I was laughing the whole time! :P
The whole event was full of surprises, too! My high school barkada made me a surprise AVP. (Now I know why Jillian kept visiting my Multiply for the past few days!) When I entered the dance floor to sing the song I'd rehearsed for almost a week already, they played the wrong song! I had no choice but to go on with it, but I was obviously shaking! Good thing they made me sing the real piece after my surprise AVP for my parents. I also tripped during my Latin dance when my heel got caught in the hem of my bubble dress! And so I immediately pulled off a Miriam Quiambao move to regain my dignity, haha!
After that was party time with my high school buds while Khwekhkhwekh invaded the stage to take pictures! And after everyone left, Khwekhkhwekh and I had a "sleepover" at Room 1232. We actually slept at almost 6:00 AM! What started as just a fun game of spin-the-bottle turned out to be a serious sharing game with the closest bunch of people I am to in UP.
And so to everyone who came, greeted, and shared my excitement as the Big Day drew nearer, I am giving a big hug and a countless Thank Yous. I hope to share the rest of my life still with you all. Each and everyone of you has been a blessing to me.
(Special thanks to Kenny del Rosario (I love you Kenny!) and the rest of the Planners Plus team for the whole coordination. The debut would never have been the same without you!)
