It's nice  to throw a party for your babies' birthday especially if you have  enough budget for it. Choosing a theme is really a hard decision,  sometimes you have to think for the theme that is "in" or in season.
 The last  time I panned a birthday party was 2005. It was Ishi's 1st birthday but  it's not my first time already coz I have older nieces who had party  before and I was the one who planned it. But Ishi's birthday is  different, coz she's my daughter and it's really different when you were  throwing your own daughter's party. It's like my first time. I am so  tensed coz I want everything to be so perfect. But of course it didn't  happen so perfectly. Ishi's theme that time was CARE BEAR, because in  her age that was the only character she knows yet and she loved yet.  Since it's not in season, I had a hard time looking for themed lootbags  and give aways so I had them personally made by me. Even party hats were  all made by me. My aunts decor the place, she's the one so good in  balloon decors and she's the one taught me basics. Ishi 1st birthday was  very unforgettable for me as a MOM. That was one of my accomplishment  and I am so proud of myself.
 After  four years, time is really different now. I am planning but I have to  ask her opinions, preferences etc first. I wasked what she wants on her  birthday and we finally came up in swimming party. POOL party is fun for  her because she loves swimming so much.
 And so  the planning starts a month ago....
 I first  ofcourse reserved the venue then create an invitation and then ordered  her themed CAKE from Goldilocks. Thinking of loot bags and prizes was  next. I went to DIVISORIA and bought some toys, I also visited SM to  grab more toys, and then came back again to divisoria yesterday for some  additional things.
 I also  bought balloons, I will decor the venue myself this time since I know  how already and I've learned so many designs already.
 I will be  the one taking photographs too and my bother James will assist me.  I  am also done with my Tarpaulins, etc. All i have to do now is prepare  the lootbags, prizes and other party favors.
 My  husband wants me to host this party also but I don't think I could do  everything at the same time and so I decided to hire a host, a magician  hosts in Hubert's Clown. 
I hope everything will turn out well, I am  praying to let GOD give us good weather on Ishi's BIG day so our  expected guests will attend and celebrate with us.
I plan to chat with husband that day so he could also see the event on going while watching PACMAN! :)) I will just set my howard  miller clock so I could see the time when he's ready to go online :) 
I have to  end up here for a while...I'll be back soon to blog more preparations.  Goodluck to me!
