my complicated life

1. Invitation, Lootbag & Tarp - i have drafted the invites already but i wasn't able to print it out yet. hindi ako maka-timing sa office. hihi. i also have to scout for lootbags. i was thinking of having a plastic colored bag and just print a sticker outside. yun nga lang, wala talaga akong makita nito dito. waaah. another bad news is, i don't have a tarp design yet. waaah ulet... cramming na ito talaga!!!
2. Food - i have a menu list in mind already, which is a typical birthday party food. wala pa nga lang akong nakakausap who will cook it. however, i plan to cook the children's food myself and bake the cupcakes. as for the cuppies, i have already printed the toppers. =) hindi ko palang nala-laminate. i still need to bake and perfect the chocolate and cheese-flavored cupcakes pa. haha, under experimentation pa pala! then, i'm still on a lookout for a cake supplier. i plan to buy a small one lang naman just to have something na pang-cake blowing. parang ayaw ko na kasi bumili sa La Baguette. we went there this afternoon and the saleslady wasn't that helpful in my inqueries. she made me feel na parang hindi ko afford yung cake nila. hmp. badtrip siya talaga.
3. Decor - i plan to make balloonderitas, balloon pillars, building blocks and swags. i still need to buy balloon pieces and chinese paper for the swags. as for the blocks, dalawa pa lang ang nauuwi kong box galing sa opisina kaya hindi ko pa maumpisahan yung pagdi-DIY. hehe. pero nakabili na ako ng balloon sticks. yippee. 10 lang kasi hindi naman lahat ng bata ay mag-uuwi ng balloons eh.
4. Entertainment - i plan to show Little Einstein movie on the background. i might also show an AVP, if time permits me to make one on time. if not, i might just have a creative area for the kids then some games. now, who will be our Emcee??? ewan ko lang kung may helping hand na mag-volunteer. hihi.
5. Prizes & Give-away - of all these backlogs, dito lang ako happy. just today, i was able to discover a mala-divi store here in abu dhabi. yiipppee... a binocular toy, some rocket pocket gaming device, microphone pen, rubik's cube, a calculator, a study set, a musical set, and a twisted pencil set. ito ang mga happy finds ko today. hehe. i am still undecided if these will be direct-to-kids-type of prizes or if i will set up a mini-tiangge store. just like what my fellow GT sisses have done with their kiddos parties. bahala na si batman. =) as for the give-aways... i have drafted the CD cover already. CD and cover are still for printing though. i will give this to kids 3 y/o and below. kids 3 y/o and up will either have lootbags or take-home prizes. whatever.

these things are keeping me uber busy these days. aside from feeling physically, emotionally, financially and mentally drained, having this creative things to do somehow lighten things up. sana lang talaga ay matapos ko siya on time. *hopeful*

ooopss.. not to mention i have one on-going student research assistance, piles and piles of work backlogs, immigration research to do (and should be done before the month ends!), help marvin with his english exam review, outreach coordination with Phil-based friends and who knows what else will turn up one of these days???!!!!!!!! daig ko pa ang juggler. no, i am not complaining, i am just overwhelmingly pre-occupied.
