tylord's 3rd birthday bash

another month as a developer. i still had a few items left in my project timeline which i had to finish & polish. i was so proud of myself i exceeded my own expectations in this project that i have done stuff w/c initially appeared technically impossible! anyhow, the 'magic' application w/ all its new features was introduced to the users in the US & UK. gladly enough, almost 90% of the users accepted the new system. the rest were just jabbering about not being able to access it via their firefox or mac browsers. geesh. IE only folks!

tylord's 3rd birthday celebration.

the celebration was in advance. tylord's birthday was on the next, the 8th. the venue was at the don antonio royale's clubhouse. the presentation was way too neat it appeared like a debutant's birthday bash or a wedding perhaps. the center of the room was where the cake, gifts, give aways were displayed. a huge tarpaulin hang at the north wall w/ tylord's graphically-enhanced picture sitting at the hood of a red ferrari. it was a ferrari birthday themed party. the rest of the walls were embellished with racing flags of varied colors & ofcourse balloons. the host was wearing a red ferrari jacket by which ofcourse the handsome birthday celebrant's attire was as well.

the event kicked off w/ a crayola coloring contest while the host waited for all the guests to arrive. the line for the face painting was piling up as well. my daughter was so frightened at her turn. she thought she was about to get the needle, probably thinking it was one of her vaccination appointments w/ her pedia haha!

my sis alex came along. my best friend che & her 2 kids arrived an hour later. the room filled up entirely during the reception.

a magic show started after meals. i paid the clowns at my daughter's 1st birthday party to do magic tricks as well w/c when i saw this one at tylord's, proved only to charm babies (who don't even have a grasp of what they are doing). this magic show at tylor'd party deserved claps, 'ahhhhs' and 'wows' from its audience.

anyhow, after tylord blew his cake, sam announced as well that they were celebrating my brother's birthday. his birthday was on the 10th. we packed before 6pm. the party went on for the 'young' adults at the gilligan's bar inside the trinoma mall. alex & myself, followed hours later buying my kid first her new pair of purple crocs. my sister, her bf, my nieces & mom followed before 10pm. we stayed for an hour only coz my brother's & sam's friends had started piling up & we could no longer fit the very long table.
