Jacob Cedric's Uber fun Party! (5th Part)


And now, with the food cart. Originally, I wanted NYFD Food Cart and Nestle Ice Cream or Yoghurt Froz or Shawarma be part of the Jacob's big event. But, with NYFD, I emailed them (twice), no reply was received. I didn't insist...
I love and addicted with White Hat Yogurt, but since they do not have food cart for parties, I decided to have Yoghurt Froz (I took samples from Rustan's Makati Kids Section), I asked for calling card and texted the number indicated. I was so disappointed.. I am really an eager client and willing to pay for their service, but the person who replied to me texted me back that I should call a certain number.. What's the use of tthe Mobile Number indicated on the number if they are not that eager answering queries from clients?!
So, I said to my husband, since I love eating Crepes and I know the guests will surely enjoy taking a bite, why not a Crepe Food Cart?! I "googled" and saw Krispy Krepe Food cart. 
From the previous postings, I think they had some branches at the mall bu now they are home-based. I contacted Jomar, and patiently replied to my queries. The good thing about it? He didn't ask for downpayment..! I just gave it full right after the party.
It's a good thing I availed their service - It's A Big Hit at the party! Long line of guests patiently waiting for their turn to take a bite from Krispy Krepe!

Thank you Krispy Krepe!

Jacob Cedric's Uber fun Party! (1st Part)

We just had Jacob's Uber Fun Party! And still, I'm still lovin' the feeling and fun family, relatives and friends shared with us (Jojo-Jacob-Grace).
Here's the details of our super memorable event!


Sept 12,2010 
9 o'clock in the afternoon

From Day One, I'd like to have Sushi as part of Jacob's Food menu since we (Jojo and I) love eating those. Fortunately, my Sister-In-Law told us that there's a small sushi store selling beside SM Hypermaket in Makati (formerly Liana's) by Bilao. We checked it out (1 week before the party). By 9 AM, we dropped by at Cash and Carry in Makati to buy extra paper plates and chopsticks for sushi. Then placed order, 2 bilao for P1200 (P600/124 pcs). Not bad at all! 
Store: Gryn Wasabi (Makati)


12:00-1:00 o'clock in the afternoon

We helped prepared my Mother-in-Law and the helper with the Partypacks for Jacob's Party (Kids and Crew's Meal). Prepared 75 styropacks. Meal include Spaghetti, Fried Chicken, Pulvoron and Tetrapack Juice.
To personalized the meal, I made a Partypack sticker for the styro. 

1:00-2:00 o'clock in the afternoon!

And now, we were in a RUSH! Rush going back to Makati to pick up the sushis then made our way to Prestige Tower for the additional decorations from my cousin (from US), giveaways, party prizes, for candy candy station, all to meet the suppliers in person! More stress, party starts at 4PM!

After Prestige Tower, we immediately  drove back to Taguig to prepare and get dressed for the party!
And we are on time :)

When we arrived at the venue, i super love the decors! Thanks to Kiko's Balloon's and Services especially to Ms. Kristine, for super accommodating from Day One!

Entrance Decoration: I asked them to upgrade the pillar to Elmo and Big Bird Shaped Pillar and guess what? They executed it just the way I wanted it!



Stage Decoration: Super Love the backdrops and the balloon decor on the floor! 

 

Venue Ceiling Decoration: Balloon Drops
I personally asked Ms. Kristine that I wanted Balloon Drops as Main Decor for the ceiling.. And poof! Love the outcome! Super festive-looking knowing that Prestige Tower Roofdeck has low ceiling!

Additional Ceiling Decors are from my Cousin from States, Ate San - Thank You so much! The decor complemented the whole decoration itself. Perfect fit - as if she knew what to buy!

My cousins made fun of the decors after the party!
 

Balloon Burst: 50 mini balloons inside with 20 of those has "You've Got a Prize" Tag


Table Decorations: DIY with Balloons

As per previous blog on Party DIY I prepared for these, they just added balloons to this to make it more exciting!
Sesame street Table Centerpiece

Additional table decoration from my Ate San in US (Super Festive!)


Verdict: 10/10
Super perfect! Why? I may be biased but here's the reasons:
  • I inquired with them about 7 months ago. Other suppliers thought I am just getting ideas with them but Ms. Kristine was so accommodating and prompt in replying to my email queries. 
  • They executed the designs I wanted for the venue
  • They arrived super early at the venue

By the time we arrived at the venue (Jojo and I), Jacob was already there - we asked MIL to bring Jacob to the venue (she was with Hannah and Ate Francia). Lots of guests were already there, in short, we were on the brink of being late!

I saw lots of people! friends, relatives enjoying the venue and party! The host was already starting with the party - well, just coloring activity while waiting for the other guests. 
I met the host, wife of Mr. Lambert Flores, the one we hired to perform for the party. They handed me the program and told them some alterations - I wanted the cake Blowing on Mid-part of the party before eating time. 

Coloring activity for the kids: I also prepared some sheets for coloring activity. It's a DIY, just google

Party Host:


Party Magic and Bubble Show: Mr. Lambert Flores
 Super awesome performance!



Jacob's Bubble Cake!

We got the chance to be placed inside a big bubble! Super fun!


Other guests also got the chance to be inside a big bubble!

Game/Performance for the Dads!
The host asked the Dads (with special mention for Jojo!) to be on stage. And they danced to the tune of YMCA! Can't wait for the video! Haha..



Verdict: 9/10
The performance was awesome! Thanks. Mr. Lambert Flores. And to top this thing off, he performed the P15,000 Package One for Jacob's party for just the price of Package 2! I really appreciated those he did for the party as well as his crews!
They also arrived early at the party to prepare and made sureevery kids and adult guests were blown by their deeds and performance.

I'm so in love with Shooshoos!!

I'm super in love with Shooshoos

The first time I saw them..I know it's perfect for my son.. It's the first ever shoe I bought for him (since most are gifts from friends and relatives).. and I couldn't settle for less.

I hunted and hunted for Pediped shoes and Shooshoos and find out that they will be one of the exhibitors in the upcoming bazaar of Expo Mom last May - I convinced my husband that we really need to go to Expo Mom.. because of Shooshoos!

And there, I met Ms. Kim, whose as lovely as her face. (I always texted him Ms. Kristine - who the he** is Kristine?!haha) Very accomodating - and right then and there, I know it won't be the last time I'll purchase shooshoos. 
I'm so in love with it! Why?
  • the shoes look so comfty for baby's tiny feet
  • made of nappa leather
  • perfect as walking shoes
  • very stylish and no tie ribbon/shoe lace that would cause any accident to the baby
Here's the 1st Shooshoos I bought for Jacob:

Isn't it lovely?! 
And from the time I handed this to my son, he walked with it-- and I could see in his eyes how much he adores his new shoes - well, like mother like son hehe..

I'm such a stage mom, I sent photo to them and I just love them, really! They posted it on their site, even on their blog, welcoming Jacob as one of the shooshoos babies!


9 months old pictorial

Since, I'm just a first time mom, I never thought he would outgrew this in 2 months time! Waahhh..
That's why I decided to get Jacob his 2nd and 3rd pair of shooshoos. This time, I just texted Ms. Kim for my orders, and the following day, my husband DPied thru their bank account.

And here are Jacob's new pairs shooshoos.



So adorable!!Thank you Ms. Kim! And 'til next time! :)

P.S And they're on sale too!!

A Tiring weekend that was!!

What a Weekend! Super Duper tight schedule but Uber Fun!!
Saturday: 26 June 2010
1st Stop:
* Festival Mall, Filinvest Alabang Muntinlupa City
We arrived around before lunchtime to meet with my buyer. It was his husband who picked up the orders. Though we waited quite a while, that was fine with me - since I saw in my Jakey's eyes how he was amazed with everything he saw at the mall! - Posters, Lights, People - all of those not usually seen around our house (*wink*). Since we were just killing time, I took the chance to print Jacob's Pic for entry (SM Star Baby) at Digiprint. And they were just easy to deal with .. I got the finished photos in less than 15 minutes.
While waiting for the photos, a kiosk nearby, named Saibachi caught my attention - may be I am quite hungry so I asked Jojo to buy food and drinks. They call it takoyaki - a squiball looking food but really when i tasted it - it's so yummy! I thought it was just me who noticed it but Jojo too! So we decided to take home some of these for our consumption.


*Total Gas Station
We were supposedly meet our buyer at Festival mall parking lot, but due to some circumstances, we just changed it to Total Gas Station. Mr. Diaz (husband) was really sorry he kept me waiting. But that's ok, part of being a seller :)

*Aplaya - Grills and Greens - Festival Mall
By night, Jojo and I had schedule of meeting up my cousins Ada and AC, and Aryan. We arrived earlier, so I asked Jojo if we could drop by at Japan's Store (Dai-so) inside the Mall. Bought things for Jacob's Party decorations and for our lab.
**Gimik Night!
And since I am with Ada, we have our pictures shot everywhere!! I'll update this.
@ Aplaya:
Twas was like "There's no tomorrow!" 
- more catch-up chickas!
- more pictures
- and variety of drinks!
   - from rhumcoke (for Jojo) to Jagermeister (me and Ada) to Gilbeys for AC and Aryan, down to Mindoro Sling for everyone!! all in less than 2 hours!!!
- a memorable food Lizzy's Dynamite - a food cursed by Jojo -- haha. An appetizer, a whole chili wrapped with breadcrumbs -- who would have noticed you were eating a chili!! haha
- My cousin is so in love with his "yum" - so Happy for her
@Bona Cafe
We were supposed to be at Pagcor for casino but changed our plan, and stayed at Bona Cafe - Westgate Alabang.. It was our 2nd time there.. Fun, fun fun.. Our ealiest coffee after gimik - 11 pm!
Killed time with more stories, youtube videos, pictures and more pictures!!
went home a little before 2am --- 

So tiring Saturday, and even attended to my son's needs as soon as we got home.. 

Sunday:
Went to BF Resort, a belated happy Birthday to our beloved Auntie, Tita Pot.. and visited my lovable niece, Heleina. I handed her crayons, erasers and pens.. I know she loves It!
@SM Bicutan
Before heading back home (Laguna), we dropped by at SM Bicutan for jacob's submission of photos for SM Star baby. Unfortunately, he wasn't qualified haist.. Need to register first... I thought we could do this at the same time - registration and passing of requirements.. I'm quite sad, but hey, there's another quarter!
@Shakey's
Jacob loved their Creamy Mushroom Soup!! I saw my friend daisy, who worked at Shakey's as Branch Manager
- She gave 20% discount - thank you!
- It's Jacob's first time using Highchair 
- Jacob's 1st @ Shakey's




After everything, went home and now I wanna go to bed.. to rest...
