Happy Non Birthday Day

Last September, I wanted to keep away from people flooding my wall with birthday greetings because it’s being prompted on their Facebook accounts so I decided to move my birthday 6 months back, 11th March.

Stupid me, as I have forgotten to change this, so my wall is NOW flooded not only by mistaken birthday greetings but hate mails from my close friends.
Light bulb lit and here are the collection of the crazy comments I received.

From Mico:

From Jamie:

From Mayette:

I’m really sorry, my dear friends.

I decided that you can flood my wall on my real birthday. Please still greet me. *begging position

 

Caribbean Drinks and Aliens

During my birthday…

“Kuya, hindi tayo nakagawa ng Bull Frog dahil wala tayong Blue Curacao,” my sister, the bartender for my birthday, told me. She has pronounced the Caribbean country as KURAKAW. The drink, was apparently, in demand.
“Tem… Curacao (kyu-ra-saw),” I told her.
“Ay ganun ba ‘yun? Ok!” She answered.

After a few minutes,  she approached me, “Kuya, may bisita kang kagaya ko. Umorder ba naman ng Mojito (mo-jee-to). Natawa na lang ako sa loob ko. Baka ibigay ko sa kanya si Mojacko. Moja-moja.”

 

White Party Photo Booth

To block the growing noise inside our flat because of the White Party, I have decided to sound proof our door. I have put my bed against our door.

Too bad!

Everyone saw this and since they were in so much mood to party, everyone gathered around it and mistook it for a photo booth!

 

Hourly Group Pic

During birthdays, it’s nice to see group pictures and check who came and decided to celebrate with you on your special day.
Pat and I knew that our guests will come in batches so we have decided on an hourly Group Pic…

7 PM

8 PM

9 PM

10 PM

11 PM

1 AM

2 AM

 

Like New Year’s Eve, everybody waited for the top of the hour and counting down the minutes so that we can finally hold a group picture.

“Kunyari pa kayong Group Pic everyhour! Gusto n’yo lang naman i-remind ang bisita n’yo na ‘HOY ALAS DOSE NA!’” My sister commented.
“Actually, gusto naming makita kung sino ang pinaka-matagal nag-stay. Pag naka-3 group pic ka ibig sabihin kanina ka pa nandito,” I answered.

 

White Party

Since our birthdates are close to each other, four of my friends have decided to celebrate it via a 4-way Birthday House Party.

Orlee, Che, Bing and Patrick

All our guests were requested to wear white, while we all 4 wore red.

So when other guests were not aware who were the celebrators, they just had to check who else was wearing red.

“Naka-red ka rin? Happy Birthday!” One unknown guest greeted me.

 

Ronald’s Fave Cartoon

Planning Ronald‘s birthday party, Ness asked me, “Orlee, itanong mo naman kay kabayan kung sino ang favorite cartoon character n’ya para ilagay sa cake n’ya.”
“Wala s’yang favorite cartoon character. Ay meron pala! Si Sexbomb Jopay,” I answered.

“Ay! Di naman cartoon character ‘yun! Good luck. Ipalagay mo sa cake si Jopay.”
“Wala s’yang alam na cartoon character! Wala naman kasi s’yang tv nuong bata s’ya. Maswerte na s’ya kung makakain sila ng 1 beses sa isang araw…”
“Ano ka ba!? Kahit nga street children kilala ang Bio Man!”

 

Suelad Bar

During my birthday party, while Susan was getting her food, I told her, “Sue, may salad dito sa gilid oh… Kung nagda-diet ka lang naman.”
She was between the Chicharong Chicken Skin and the Spicy Spareribs, caught off-guard, she screamed! “Hindi ako nag-da-diet! Bwisit!”

The Salad Bar

 

Ice Cream Cake

Because food was overflowing, I always offered my guests, whatever was left in the table, “Guys, menudo? Igadu? Paella?”

For dessert, I, myself, got confused what to offer…

Ice Cream Cake? Ice Cream? Cake? Ice? Cream?

 

Birthday Food

To save money (’cause you know how thrifty I am), I gave out food assignments to my friends for my birthday party:

Jade and Marish – Cake
Susan – Ice Cream Cake
Patrick – Ice Cream
Cathy – Sisig
Zinnia – Paella
Connie – Pork Dish
Che – Menudo
Marie – Igadu
Karen – Banana Cake

And the rest was prepared by me, Ronald, Bing and Beaula at home.

For every dish offered, I would say, “Oh, kuha kayo ng ice cream, courtesy of Patrick. Menudo oh, thanks to Che-che.”
Zinnia teased, “Orlee! Ang saya naman ng birthday potluck party mo!”
“Excuse me, ma’am, wala pong middle name ang birthday party ko. Hindi po s’ya potluck.”
Then how come it is.

All in all the party was successful foodwise. Thanks to my sponsors.

 

Lamay Theme

Last year, we had a Tondo Themed Party. This time, we celebrated DJ‘s birthday without screaming. “Bawal mag-ingay dahil kapitbahay nila ang may ari ng building. Baka magalit.” Boorinnnggg!!!

I’ve decided to be consistent with the theme; hence I did this…

Happy 23rd Deej!
