Salon De Ning matches Ate’s personality to a T.

She wanted a very simple dress with a removable skirt so she can party the night away in comfort. She’s into turquoise now. (She changes her favorite color like she changes outfits! :P) Even as a child, she never liked elaborate, over-the-top frilly dresses. Boo! 🙁 Thanks to ANN CHAVES of PLUMA in ATC.

Tears flowed down my cheeks as she came in & strutted to the center of the stage of Salon de Ning of The Manila Peninsula last night. My baby -now a LEGAL lady! :'(( Ouch!

Legal na si Atey!

As early as 1 in the afternoon when we got to the hotel, her dad & I took turns & worked our a$$e$ off making sure everything was picture perfect for her. When it was finally time for the party to start, basa na uli kili-kili ko haha!

A separate vehicle to hold all our shizzz & props! 😛

I didn’t get an organizer anymore coz 1) I’m a cheapskate! Ayaw ko magbayad -kaya ko yan is my motto! 2) More importantly, I wanted us to bond & make memories together. From choosing the place, to making payments, down to the littlest details. And because we did everything ourselves, ate & I have a treasure trove full of wonderful memories together! <3

Cuptails! (cupcake cocktails – liquor infused) A gift, among other things, from one of her Treasures. <3

Mega HIT among the teens! Yummy daw sobra! m/ So were the cocktail drinks. UBOS! ;P

Since Salon De Ning only served pica-picas, I ordered a HUGE lechon & roast beef carving so ate’s guests don’t go hungry.

Mixing drinks, let’s PAAAARTEY! ;))

With Nico, who made the 18 dances really ROCK! Thank you so much, Nico!! <3

I’m so happy her only cousins came! <3 Even though their dad was noticeably absent. Time heals all wounds.. or maybe not…

With mother & the Super Friends who are all Treasure Presenters! <3

Happy & proud parentals… ;))

My baby girl says her thanks. <3
