By | Celebrations, Foodie | No Comments

Time flies so fast, I cannot believe I have an 18 year old!

18 years means 19 years of marriage, that’s how I keep track 🙂 Happy Birthday to my son who is now an adult.  I wish and pray for only the best and that God may continue to bless him  

Jaime had a small and intimate celebration at home for his 18th birthday

Patrice Salas @ 18

By | Celebrations, Fashion | 2 Comments

PATRICE SALAS Save the date by Niceprint Photography from niceprint photo on Vimeo.

Time flies so fast!  I met Patrice when she was 10 years old.  She was in the same school as Jaime at that time.  And now, she is eighteen years old!!!  Already a lady!  A beautiful one.  Thank you Tito Ernie, Tita Chichi, Jun Jun and Rhoda for making us a part of this momentous occasion in Patrice’s life.  We will be waiting for the next one, when it’s Patty’s turn

 patric-salas-invitation-2.jpg

 As you enter the ballroom there were paintings displayed, apparently for raffle to the guests!  Wow! 🙂  

We came already after dinner and everyone was finished eating 🙂

Patrice is so lucky to have Jun Jun and Rhoda as he siblings!

Happy to bump into Jorenz and Ria

Anthony with his son but missing Ana

The highlight of the evening was the fashion show 🙂patrice-salas-at-18-invite.jpg

I like what Tito Ernie said when he acknowledged Rhoda his eldest daughter who organized everything.  He not only talked about Patrice but also talked about Rhoda.  He did not take away attention from her by focusing only on Patrice.  I was so touched by that

We only had one waiter- Chris – who always takes care of us.  He is amazing because whether we are only 6 or we are 25 – he is able to serve all of us!  Super waiter Chris!
