Reach your Dreams in 2008! (A slumber party)
BNI Harvest Chapter Christmas Party
December 14, 2007, Friday
Erick Kalugdan’s residence (Pasig City)
Theme: Pajama party
Aljo Chua, Mitor Alipio, Edlynn Ng (with kids Terence & Xavy), Erick Kalugdan (wife Sharon & son Rafael), Alvin Tsoi, VJ Sianghio, Armand Hernandez, Totep Pardo (with wife Marion & business partner Buddy), Deedee Espina (with daughter Diyosa), Marcia Castaneda, Diwa del Mundo, Dr. Malu de Leon, Gay Gatbonton (with husband George & sons)
Erick opened his house as early as 6pm. Aljo was the early bird in the group. Edlynn and her children followed and jumped into Erick’s freezing yet inviting swimming pool. The members trickled in and braved the heavy traffic managed to arrive safely considering last minute errands like buying a new set of pajamas.
The food prepared by Sharon was great! We had mixed sushi, grilled stuffed milkfish, shrimps, sweet and sour pork, fried chicken strips, pancit canton, green mango salad with bagoong (shrimp paste), grilled eggplant with tomatoes and onions and baked macaroni. For dessert we had biko (sweet glutinous rice), leche flan and fruits. Yum!
We expressed our singing talents with the Magic Sing and discovered that Dr. Malu’s masterpiece is the song “Borderline” by Madonna in the 80s. Totep also got a kick out of it (he even had a duet with Deedee) and of course, we were also entertained by our very own musically-talented Marcia. Mitor, Alvin and VJ were happily ‘gulping’ away!
Dr. Malu’s “Human text twist” game was a hit. Ang galing natin sa spelling! Not to be outdone was Armand’s BNI blackout bingo grid and his drawing game. Gay has superb drawing skills with her abstract rendering
We also had exchange gifts and before we ended the night, Diyosa unselfishly rendered her soulful numbers a capella.
Thanks to Erick and family for hosting the event… Diwa for making it to the party driving all the way from Batangas.
Congratulations Harvesters! Fun, fun, fun!
As Deedee commented, “Masarap pala magparty ng nakapajama!”
Merry Christmas and Happy new year!
