Hello, Hivers! Good day!
If you’ve read my previous blog, then, here’s part 2 of it.
The Arrival and Start of the Program
After a few minutes of waiting, the other guests arrived, including the godparents of Kailer, the young birthday celebrant.
The emcee immediately started the program, and my mom’s friend, who is also Kailer’s mom, was already at the center.
The program began with a prayer, followed by games and activities. The first game involved the emcee asking for 10 kids to participate.
It was a balloon-passing game where the last person holding the balloon when the music stopped would be out. Everyone was having fun because their goal was not to be eliminated, and they all wanted to win.
Kailer didn’t join the game, though. Instead, he was happily playing with his toy car at the back. He seemed to be enjoying himself in his own way.
The Games and Laughter
As the kids played pass the balloon, their guardians were watching with big smiles. Some were laughing at how excited and fast the kids were passing the balloons. Others were busy recording videos of their kids, creating memories to cherish.
After the kids’ game, it was time for the adults to have fun. My mom joined this game because she loves participating—it makes her happy, she says.
The game was called the Siopao-Siomai-Suman game. When the emcee pointed at a player, they had to say either “Siopao,” “Siomai,” or “Suman,” along with the corresponding hand gestures. If someone failed to say the correct word or do the right gesture, they were out. However, the game mechanics were later changed to “Hip-Hip, Hooray” because it was getting confusing for everyone.
Dinner and Surprises
After several games, the program ended, and it was finally dinner time. I was surprised at the variety of food and drinks they prepared. Each person received a super meal that included rice, chicken, beef steak, spaghetti, iced tea, and ice cream.
It was truly worth the wait—the food was delicious! Being a Jollibee fan, I was especially thrilled because I had been craving their chicken, and it was perfect timing.
But the surprises didn’t end there! After we ate, the emcee announced that Hetty and Jollibee would be joining us. At first, I thought it was just to excite the kids, but to my surprise, they actually showed up! My inner child was so happy. I took some pictures as they walked in, and they even looked in our direction—what a moment!
Hetty and Jollibee performed a dance presentation, and it was so entertaining. Kailer, however, cried whenever Hetty came close to him. But when Jollibee approached, his mood instantly changed from frowning to smiling. Eventually, he warmed up to Hetty as well.
Memories to Keep
Before the night ended, we made sure to take pictures with Hetty and Jollibee. A lot of people were lining up for photos because it was such a memorable experience.
And that’s it for this blog, Hivers!
Thank you for staying tuned. See you on my next one!
