Hi Happiness: I'll have Two Parties Please ^-^

It's only 3 days before Christmas! Woohoo! What I love about Christmas are the parties that I could attend. And last week was my Christmas Party week. Parties happened on the weekend. I attended a beach party on Saturday and a "wholesome" house party on Sunday.

SATURDAY:

Party with my co-tambays at Roger's. We were expecting a lot of people to come, unfortunately, on few of us came, but that didn't stop us from having FUN! We went to Camp Holiday Samal which is only 5minutes away from Sasa 11 pier. But, even before we reached the place, there were a few bumps along the way. (1) we weren't able to reach the 1,500 target budget for our food (since only a few of us came). Ex and I had to budget it so that the food we'll buy would last until the next day because some of them will stay overnight at the beach. So, we went to Bankerohan Public Market and budgeted the 950pesos we have. Good thing Ex is really good at buying food, I mean, at 950pesos, we were able to purchase: 2kg of liempo; 1 1/2kg of chicken breast.; 1 super big fish for inihaw; 1kg of fish for kinilaw; 2 bags of pancit; ingredients for pancit; and 5kg of rice. After buying, we immediately went back to their house to cook and marinade the food. It took us almost 3hours for cooking. So, instead of going at the beach at 10am, we went to the beach at 1am. (2) The driver didn't exactly know where Sasa 11 was, well, we didn't actually know. All I know was the pier where we would ride the ferryboat is near the old airport. So, after 1 hour and someting minutes, we finally reached the pier and all thrilled to ride the ferryboat! :) At around 2pm, we finally reached Camp Holiday Samal. Oooh, it's beach love <3.

SUNDAY:

We had a little Christmas Party at the boys's house. Their mom prepared desserts; macaroni salad and mango float (yum!) And before we had dinner, we played 1,2,3 pass. Oh, Jan's such a loser, he was the first blood! HAHAHA =)) And I was the 2nd, pfft, and the rest followed. Leaving Liz's face clean from powder :)). After playing, we had dinner! We had pork and chicken bbq for dinner then the dessert (my fave part c; ) Then, finally, the highlight of the party began. EXCHANGE GIFTIES! :D We decided to play Spin a Bottle (althought we used my umbrella instead of a bottle) to point at the person who would go first (giving his/her gift to the name he/she picked 2 weeks ago). And Jan was the first! Before giving the gift, he had to describe the person from general to specific. And yea, such a pfft, just as I thought, he would be the one giving me a gift. He was so freakin' obvious, kept on asking me what I want. Hahaha :)) but what the heck, I still like the gift! MAKE-UP BRUSHES! :D. Then, after him, was Me! I had to describe Liz whom I gave a watch in pink ;) Then the rest followed. Ren, giving a shirt to Mon; Pat giving a necklace to Ren; Mon giving a shirt as well to Pat and Liz giving again a shirt to Jan. And after it, everyone was happy with their gifties :). We then decided to watch PBB Double Up and Jan kept on insulting Melissa (kick yer ass Jan!) Hahaha :)) After PBB we all decided to call it a night :D
