The main reason for my coming home to Cebu this month is to attend Adia’s Jollibee birthday party! Meeting Chowa and Al again is just a close second! Haha. No favoritisms but Adia is literally my favorite godchild because how can you resist this cute baby?!

The party was at 7PM, but considering Cebu’s traffic, I left the house at around 4:30 PM so as not to get stressed. I thought about just hanging in a coffee shop while waiting for the party to start. Also, I wanted to eat my lechon in advance since Jollibee’s food is not exactly keto-friendly.

Then I met up with Carlo, Irish and their equally cute baby Leana! I was hanging out at Bo’s Coffee, squeezing in some work before they arrived.

At around 6:30, we started heading to Jollibee since Chow and Al were stuck in traffic – just to help check if everything is in order. At around 7:30, they arrived and the children’s party started! I brought my camera with me because this was a great venue to use my portrait lens! I managed to take over 300 photos from the event!

Of course, I couldn’t go home without a selfie with Jollibee himself.

Of course, birthday parties are not complete without the after-party. Well, the grown-ups sure had one, after much indecision. We ended up at Joker’s Arms where suffice to say, someone got super drunk. Make that two! Haha.

My friends have stories that I don’t remember anymore. But I’ll leave that to that – what matters is we all had fun and I probably won’t be drinking Jack Daniels for a while.

Friday is Gold Day! 金 is the kanji for Gold, pronounced as kin. Can you say Friday in Japanese? 🙂 That ends the days of the week! Took me two weeks, but I’ll try to do better, as I always say!
