Whimsical Halloween Parade and Party 2018

Earlier today my family and i attended a Halloween Party located in Ramada Manila. This is my son's second halloween event last year he was on Brainfit free trial and trick or treat. The event is not for free we paid 800 per person for adult and 600 per person for kids. With lunch buffet, trick or treat, loot bag, more fun games and magic show.

First activity is the trick or treat at the nearby hotel.

After the trick or treat we get inside the hotel and we fall in line for our photo shoot. They gave us copy i love that its magnetic we can display it in our ref. 

Before we start the main program we had our mini game at the side of the room we need to finish  the 3 play booths so that we can get our loot bag after the program and my favorite part LOL we devour our lunch buffet.

Our table

Selfie Time!

Here comes the party games for adults and kids and magic show. 

The last program is the science lab we did not watched it we need to leave early because my husband had worked. We enjoyed it! We had so much fun! Thank you to my husband for being our official photographer. This is what's inside his loot bag! More snacks, chocolates and candies! My son loves it so much his favorite is the coloring book.

My Son's 7th KFC Birthday Party

Hello everyone! Yesterday my family, friends and my son's classmates had so much fun! Why? Because we gathered together to celebrate my son's 7th birthday party at KFC Nagtahan. We invited 100+ guests because we wanted to invite all his classmates and friends to his party. This is his 7th birthday its like a debut for kids so we wanted to make it simple but extravagant celebration. I love the ambiance of the venue its huge and clean. The birthday theme is happened to be his favorite cartoon character its sponge bob square pants. We are disappointed that they did not include balloons to there birthday package they are more expensive compared to jollibee. My husband decided to bought balloons at divisoria so that he can get a cheap prize. I requested a two tower balloon and my husband did not disappoint me he did it all by himself very thankful for my husband for all his hard work and effort. 

The party starts with the usual opening prayer, more games and prizes, Colonel Sanders mascott appearance, picture taking, food, greetings to the birthday celebrant, blowing the cake and distribution of loot bags for kids. 

They don't have cake they only have donut lollipop to the birthday celebrant. How can he blow a cake and make a wish if he don't have one its a birthday tradition. Good thing my husband's brother gave a birthday cake to my son as a gift so we don't need to buy one and also my friend sponsored a butterscotch dessert balls to all the kids guests. 

I made the party more exciting i booked a face painting session for all the kids. They enjoyed it! They fall in line and patiently waited to get there face painted. My son requested Flash to put on his cheek as his favorite super hero. Kuya face painter is on time and his service is very affordable. He did his job well and the kids loved it! The face paint is non toxic and  hypoallergenic so its good for the kids skin. 

KFC is not that good when it comes to birthday parties but the most important is we all enjoyed the party! We had so much fun! More memorable photos and laughter!

Meditation Class & Mini Bazaar

This year i started collecting crystals, i saw it once in Instagram i got curious so i searched online for an authentic and affordable shop to buy my first ever crystal. By searching online i learn how to cleanse & charge them. I got attached to them, i put them at the back of my pillow when i sleep, i also bring them everywhere i go. I believe in there unique powers and abilities. I also found out about Ms Kirsty Norton on the internet she is an Australian citizen based in manila. She is well known as a jewelry maker and a crystal healer. I immediately followed her on Instagram and after a week of stalking her i saw her post about an upcoming meditation class and mini bazaar located in Maginhawa QC. I contacted her right away and she invited me on her viber group. I paid 500 pesos to attend the meditation class.

We introduced our selves first before we start the class. 

The meditation class lasts for 30 minutes. The guru ask as individually what we are seeing while we are meditating. Others saw nature, sky, ocean and outer space. On my own experienced i saw a white smoke. I feel more relax, at peace with my mind, body and soul. Honestly i want to lay down and sleep after the meditation. 

The guru introduced us to angel cards and she let us all pick one card. The card that we picked represent our personality and what we are going through in life. 

After the meditation we had our snack. 

The last part of the event is the mini bazaar i bought an essential oils, crystals and palo santo. If we want our crystals to recharge Ms Kirtsy Norton will do it for free. 

That's all! Thank you for reading and until my next one!
