Mommy Bloggers Philippines: Christmas Party 2014

I attended one of the best Christmas parties ever last December 5, it was organized by Mommy Lanie (TweenselMom.com), Mommy Joy (JoyGurtiza.com) and Mommy Louisa (ArtofBeingAMom.com) It was held at Spaces by BabyLand in Mandaluyong. The theme for the first ever Christmas Party is Winter Wonderland, so everyone is encourage to wear color blue or white and a little make-up for photo-ops, semi-formal attire and of course our exchange gifts worth Php 300.00.

Okay fine, I’m late. I arrived at the venue past 1 because no available UBER (if you want to get free Php 200.00 credit on your 1st ride, use my code: IANV15) that time but you know what natangal yung stress ko when I saw the room filled up with eye-catching decorations. Kudos to the team! Effort talaga!

Some mommy bloggers are enjoying the photobooth c/o YEAH, SHOOT Photobooth. It’s perfect! Ang ganda ng layout pati printing! And since we are all picture addict, I can’t remember how many time we went there for shoot.

The event was started with a short prayer led by Mommy Jho, followed by welcome remarks of Mommy Lanie (Head/Founder of MBP) and the warm-up game (getting to know each other) facilitated by Mommy Louisa. Actually, magulo yung game na to but everyone is enjoying it. They instructed us to divide the group into 2 with more or less 15 mommies each group and handed us a piece of paper with questions.  Tapos you need to answer the question na sasabihin ng kaharap mo in just 30 seconds tapos mag rorotate kayo para iba naman ang kaharap mo with another question naman, basta ganon. Ah basta masaya kami, di naman halata sa photos db. Hehe.

Right after the game, it’s kainan time. There are three caterers during the party and I must say that they are the BEST! Ang sasarap ng food! Thanks to Posh Catering, Shekinah Dishes and Kubiertos Catering who offers scrumptious dishes and Love Desserts for the sweet treats for mommies.

The most awaited part of the event was the raffle. Eto talaga pinakamasaya sa lahat! Everyone was expecting for the Tablet and 32”Inch TV! Wohooo!!! I’m so lucky that my name was called! First time ito! I won limited edition plate from Glorietta and Air Freshener from Renuzit.  Eto talaga ang pinaka highlights ng party, ang makakuha ng plate kasi pagmeron ka nito VIP ka. :)

Congrats to Mommy Jinke for winning the Acer tablet and Mommy Paulline for taking home brand new 32” inch Sharp LED TV from Abenson.

There are lots of raffle prizes that day from our generous sponsors: The Cream Factory, Renuzit, Lazada and Glorietta.

Right after the awarding ceremony of the major prize (Congrats Mommy Paulline, actually para talaga sakin yun eh. Hehe.#Bitter) the traditional exchange gift na. Wohoo.. I’m so excited! Thank you Mommy Arge! Sa Christmas ko na sya bubuksan para surprise. :)

That day was full of fun, excitement and most important is that I gained new friends and ka chickahan. It was a blast! Everyone went home with loot bags full of gifts from our sponsors. (Teleserv, Nail-A-Holics, Trolli, Fly Ace Corporation, Zomato,Triumph and Nature Essentials)

I’m so sorry, I was not able to take lots of photo during the event. Ang sarap lang kasi tumawa ng tumawa and makipag chikahan sa ibang mommies eh. Kaya super thank you Mommy Joy for the photos. (some photos are credited to her). Now, I’m looking forward for more events and parties of Mommy Bloggers Philippines. I’m so proud and grateful that I belong to this group. Thank you Mommy Lanie for this opportunity to finally meet you and other mommy bloggers. (Although we met at MBP Halloween Party, this is the first time na nakapag papicture tayo. Hehe)

God Bless to us! And let’s plan for our next activities and events for the year 2015! Cheers!
