Mitchie's Celebratory Dinner

Last Saturday, the 22nd of April, the family trooped to Wack Wack Country Club in Mandaluyong, to celebrate Mitchie's topping the bar (See related blog). The Pavilion near the pool was decorated nicely with the guest of honor's favorite color... Pink! Tiffany chairs everywhere and a lovely floral centerpiece of white and pink roses. I think there were more than 30 round tables, set to seat Tito Boy and Tita Edith's friends, the Benavides, the Tanquiluts, Aguirres, Lester's friends, and of course, Mitchie's friends.

Of course, forever present ang family! We wouldn't miss this for the world! In attendance were the Roxases, the Aguirres, Lola Marie and the Ramirezes, Tita Jo and the Tayags, the Chincuancos.

If you click on this picture, you might wonder what has happened to the very handsome face of Alfonso. He had a minor "subsob" incident, when he was playing in the streets of Teoville. Hehe. He is fine and hyper still, so no worries in that department!

There was a thanksgiving mass right after dinner, and Father George presided. During the homily, he also mentioned that he recently celebrated his 25th anniversary as a priest (correct me if I am mistaken). Mitchie read the first reading and responsorial psalm. Schoolmate Mr. Bernardo read the second reading. During dinner by the way, there was a String accompaniment who played nice standards.

The fun part of the evening started when some of the guests left. Mitchie's dear friend Xilca went up the stage and along with their good friend Helen, sang an original song acapella! The lyrics spoke of how our dearest Mitchie grew up and became this smart and gorgeous woman she is. Of course, she couldn't resist to bring out the infamous banner Mitchie's ninang from Admiral village had made and displayed just outside the village gates. This was most definitely the night of the one and only "Pride of Admiral Village"!

Most of the Tanquiluts met Miong (or Emil) for the very first time that night. He is Mitchie's boyfriend, and a recent law school graduate. We hope to get to know him more soon! He is equally proud of our dear Sheryl!

Flowers for Miss-Soon-To-Be Attorney! Again, thank you for inspiring us to be the best that we can be!
