How to Plan for a Batch Christmas Get Together

By | Christmas, Velada 2012 | One Comment

Tomorrow, our highschool batch will be having our Christmas get together.  We had planned this months ago and after deliberation, we decided to push through with it.  We toned it down and made it a simple get together so that we could meet up with the batch.

I found our last year photo when we conceived the Christmas party committee and we are back again

Hopefully another team can take care of it to give others a chance to organize for the batch

We had our first meeting in Lills house

And then we had a second meeting in my place.   

Here is how we planned for the party.  

1.) Think Happy Thoughts

We started the meeting with HAPPY THOUGHTS to make my committee be in a HAPPY MOOD because they are always getting mad at me for being strict and bossy! 🙂

Here are their happy thoughts 🙂

 2.)  Get into the mood of the theme of the party

This was a prelude to our pink christmas party so everything was pink 🙂 We had a pink tea party to get them in the mood

3.)  Always have an agenda because when you are friends, you tend to stray and talk about other things that are not Christmas Party related 🙂  

Each one is a head of a committee or a particular responsibility – so Lills is in charge of the food.  She got quotes and proposals from different caterers and she presented it to the committee

To keep costs low so that everyone in the batch can afford, we get a basic menu and then we ask generous and willing batchmates to donate additional food and drinks 🙂 Though this was scrapped already since we decided to cut down on expenses after typhoon Yolanda

Our host for this year 🙂  I asked her to make a layout 🙂

4.)  Take care of your committee

Feed them so they will be good and just follow !BRIBE! 🙂

Give them giveaways to take home after the meeting 🙂

Pink giveaways to the committee members who works so hard and still give so much more even after all that they do

Bye girls! Till our next meeting! I love you all! 🙂

YOLO

By | Yummy! | No Comments

We met Eunice during out last trip to Baguio!  Mark and Neng introduced us to her.  It started when Mark and Neng raved about her fresh homemade yogurt and I insisted I wanted to try it.

We were so lucky that Eunice was able to make some and we were able to try it!  She brought this big tub of fresh yogurt which all of us loved!!!!  Even Neng says that whenever she gives it to her friends, they all love it!!  Some say it is like Greek yogurt!

Eunice brought some nuts and blueberry to eat with the yogurt, we added the truffle honey and the fresh strawberries and banana

A few months after, I received yogurt from Eunice and Neng and now it comes in smaller sizes!  And it is now called YOLO!!!  🙂  We were discussing the term during out last trip in Baguio – YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE ( YOLO ) – so when I received it I was smiling!!  

I have been telling Eunice to bring it to Manila and we have been trying to find a way.  But meantime, if you are in Baguio or if you know someone who is coming home from Baguio – I suggest you order some yogurt from Eunice!  It comes in 500 grams and 610 grams

Eunice’s family own a restaurant, Calajo, in baguio and she is now the one running it.  She also offers her yogurt there.  I suggest that if you place your order, contact her already even before going to Baguio to give her enough time to make it and prepare it.  Contact Eunice at 0920-945-8559 or email at paypaodan@yahoo.com

It’s no surprise where he gets his talent, from Mommy Maja who also writes very well!  Sharing here three articles among many that she has written.  Her column is called BEST OF CLASS talking about the Best of anything 🙂
