Hi everyone! Hello to the beautiful people of this community. This is me “LJ”! And today I will share about a special event that happened this weekend to you all!
Last Sunday turned out to be one of those memorable family days that I will treasure. My husband, my son and I headed to the city to attend the birthday party of my co-worker’s child, who also happens to be my godchild. His name was “Akio Kade”, what a lovely name indeed! The celebration was set at 5:00 p.m at Jollibee, but since we had a lot of time to spare, we decided to first stop by my in-laws’ house.
We enjoyed a hearty lunch, exchanged stories, and simply spent quality time together. I always appreciate moments like this, when we can pause from the busyness of daily life and just be with family. By 4:00 p.m., we knew it was time to leave. The traffic is always heavy at that hour, so we hopped on a jeepney and looked at the crowded streets. Despite the rush, we managed to arrive just right on time.
When we entered the party venue, the program had not started yet, so we were able to find a nice spot to settle in. Slowly, the place began to fill with excited children and cheerful guests. There was a lively buzz in the air, the kind of energy only children’s parties can bring.
Once the celebration began, the room turned into a wave of joy. The kids were giggling, parents were clapping, and everyone seemed to be in such high spirits. My son immediately joined the games for children, and i could not help but smile watching him have fun. He was a little shy at first, but seeing him run around, laugh, and enjoy himself made me feel proud and happy.
Two of my friends also gamely joined the adult games, which made the party even more entertaining. There’s something heartwarming about seeing grown-ups set aside their seriousness and just laugh like kids again.
One of the most exciting highlights was when the Jollibee mascot made his grand entrance. The moment he appeared, the children’s faces lit up with pure joy. They clapped, cheered and rushed toward him as if they were welcoming a superstar.
I noticed one child run straight to Jollibee and gave him a big hug. It was such a sweet and innocent moment that melted everyone’s hearts. Truly, the presence of the Jollibee mascot added magic to the party, making it even more unforgettable for the kids and for the young at hearts.
Another meaningful part of the celebration was the “wish board”. Each guest was invited to write down their wishes for the celebrant. We wrote down our messages one by one. I imagined the child growing up and someday reading all those heartfelt notes. A simple but lasting reminder of how much they are loved.
Of course, no Jollibee party would be complete without food. We were served spaghetti with fried chicken, crispy fries, and ice-cold coca-cola. It was the classic Jollibee meal, but it tasted even better because it was shared with good company.
And to make the day even sweeter, there were giveaways for the guests. We received adorable notepads shaped like Jollibee’s face along with cute pens. My son was delighted with them since he can use them in his writing activities at school.
And that’s it for today’s blog! I hope you guys like my story. See you on my next one! Have a nice day ahead to all of us!
