Cjei's luau debut party

It was almost unexpected but we're all glad that Cjei's debut party pushed thru! yipeee! It's just kinda sad to think that she won't be having any party on her 18th birthday just because of some sort of budget constraints. No, those who love this girl just can't accept that for a reason. And besides, she's the youngest and only girl in the family.

So we all expect her to get some sort of a special treatment. :D We all know she deserves it.
*winks* We could go on and on saying a lot of good things about this girl now turning into a lovely lady. Needless to say, she's truly a blessing to us. :)

Two weeks is not much time for preparation, but as a church family we still managed to make it work with God's help. :) The YA's/Youth took care of the overall luau decors. Elaine w/ Ate Olive came up with the programme.

I did the audio-visual presentations - both the one Cjei approved of and the surprise video for her. hehe...(btw, thanks to Pastor Archie for lending his laptop, my PC is not so reliable nowadays). I was also the official photographer while my dad handled the videocam.

The Moms diligently hand-made numerous leis for the estimated number of guests. The Dads setup the lights and sounds. VOX, lead by James (Cjei's bro) is in charge of the music, of course. Cjei's aunt took care of the buffet table and some viands as well. And
even if Tito Sandy (CJei's dad) and his kuya Jeff were abroad, their love is definitely felt by Cjei in a lot of ways. :D But of course Tita Luz (Cjei's mom) took care, overall.

Here now, take a peek at some of the highlights at Cjei's hawaiian party last April 12 :) Aloha!!! :D
