We're done with TL#2's 1st birthday party. Whew! TL#1 enjoyed the party so much and was so tired that he slept until 9 am on Sunday. We hope the guests, especially the kids had a great time too. This morning, I had TL#2's cupcake for breakfast paired with nestle hot chocolate. The chocolate cake was moist, yummy and not too sweet. Nice way to start my day! Since I did not include backdrops in the budget for the party, the cake and the cupcakes were the centerpiece and the only thing that points out the theme for the party - baby tv characters. They were beautifully made by Emily Uy- Swing of Sugarbox. There's a lot of cake suppliers online that I did not know who to contact at first. A friend referred Sugarbox . I contacted Emily through email and she sent me an order form. After I made the payment, she emailed me the cake and cupcake designs.

Yesterday, we had an early dinner in the office courtesy of those who got promoted ( ahem ). We ordered yummy lechon from Elar's. 15 kilos of roasted pig was gone in approximately 30 minutes! Gutom lang? We did not even have the chance to take a picture of the whole lechon. The 4th picture shows what was left of the kawawang baboy. 😋 We also had soupy sinigang sa miso and sweet leche flan, thanks to our in-house caterer - ECG. Happiness! 👍 ________ 15k lechon approximately P6,500 + P500 for the chopper *photo courtesy of Elar's facebook page - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Warning: OA account I am a sissy. And there's something about the sea and huge waves that make me think of morbid thoughts. But I survived my first helmet dive! Hooray! When I first heard of helmet diving, I thought people were brought down into a huge controlled aquarium (think ocean park or ocean adventure) to get up close with various sea creatures. I didn't realize that it actually entailed going down 15 feet below the open sea until our speedboat was almost to the floating barge where the helmet and oxygen tanks were stationed together with the divers. Understandably, I had cold feet. All my bravado and yes-to-adventure attitude were gone with the sea breeze. We had to go through a brief orientation before the actual experience. We were taught a few sign language to communicate with the divers while under the sea. I tried to memorize only the important ones - 'Up' and 'Not okay!'. The guide also informed us that the helmet is very heavy but it becomes light...
