My Mommy Bloggers Xmas Party Kwento …
… and impressions rolled into one 
I got so inggit with all the kwentos of the blogging mommies so here, I’m doing mine on top of my assignments expiring today ;p
Contrary to Mich, who was hesitant to go to the party at first, I was raving to go. When Apols presented the idea of a Christmas Party, I said yes instantly. For some reason I never felt hesitant or I never thought I’d feel awkward partying with people I never met yet. I felt kase I know all of them through their blogs. Feeling close ako with them coz I read their blogs all the time and I know almost every little detail about them already.
On to the party kwento.
Would you believe I still have no gifts to give our “babies” yet on the party day itself? On our way to Greenbelt, I just dropped by at Glorietta to get the gifts! At 5pm, there I was in Rustans getting Margaux’s Dora Towel Set and then roamed around Glorietta looking for the TOMATO store for Peachy. Grabe, stressing. Time was running out, ayoko ma-late, lol.
Surprisingly, I finished agad and was at Mc Do Greenbelt five minutes before 6. The first mommy I saw was Aggie, a very familiar face as she’s my cousin’s bestfriend. I knew her from college days pa (she and my cousin were classmates), she was still oh so slim and sexy (like me? kapal!) then. She added a few pounds now though but pretty and flawless face pa din. I’ve always had this impression na Aggie is very intellectual. My cousin would always tell me how Aggie is so good that she doesn’t really even study for exams etc. Di na nawala sa isip ko yun and until now, whenever I visit her blog, I feel that I always learn a thing or two from her about anything. She’s also very warm. Her kids, Matthew is so gwapo and Martha is maldita, haha.
The next one I approached or who approched me (I’m not sure) was Jacqui. Naku, parang ako yata ito. Very makwento. She was slimmer in person, I agree. And we could probably talk for hours about anything and everything. Her Sam was a cutie pie.
While I was talking to Jacqui, a girl approached me and said hi with the warmest smile. To my surprise the feisty Apols was warmer and gentler in person. I was expecting to see a bitchy woman with an attitude (but nice still) in her. She’s very petite and gosh, doesn’t even look like a mommy in any way. With how she handled the party, she’s one organized woman I can say. Her kids were Junn’s replica and they were behaved during the party. She was all over the place making sure everything is all right. We owe you so much girl!
What happened next was a blur, haha. Everybody kept coming inside the play area already. Joy approached me and said, “Ang tangkad mo pala”. I asked, “Do I look small in the pictures?” haha. Apparently, she didn’t expect me to be tall. I didn’t expect her to be tall either and prettier than she already is in the pics. She’s very pretty in person. She’s not as loud as me but was very accomodating. Very friendly I must say and talks in a very low voice. She and Sandy were very dainty. Her Sandy was shy at first but warmed up as the party progressed. Since we were seating next to each other, Sophia was so fond of Sandy. She was even asking where Sandy’s food is.
Next one who arrived was Jody who came with her two adorable daughters and her husband. Jody was my coordinator during my wedding so I know her from before too. I sometimes bother her through text too with other stuff haha. She’s so nice and accomodating as always. A very busy mommy who still finds time blogging. Hats off to you.
If there’s one mommy blogger who I constantly chats with, it’s Peachy. Honestly, when I saw her, I felt that she was a bit shy. I don’t know but for some reason feeling ko na-shy siya. I approached her and talked to her and ayun she warmed up na. Joaqui was so cute and little! Very behaved din ha, not throwing tantrum at all even if he was out the whole day. Taking care of Joaqui without a yaya and gets to do aggresive paid blogging on the side while chatting the day away with me and her family abroad, super mom!
The next one to arrive was Mich who was with the lovely Alex. I didn’t expect Alex to be chubby. Super cute! All smiles pa the little girl same as her mommy. If there’s a smiling face award, it would definitely go to Mich as she has the best smile. All smiles pa all the time. I bet she’s really thankful she attended the party.
Abie came in next with her husband and Bela. If there was a kid there who was as kulit as Sophia, si Bela yun. Pareho silang hyper haha. Abie was really nice and sweet. She looked like she didn’t have a bad bone in her body. I knew even before meeting her that she is both nice and sweet coz she’d always make sure to leave comments and send me ym messages once in a while. A working mom who entered the world of paid blogging too and is doing very well. Kudos to you.
Then came the fashionista mommy, Kelly with Gats sans Manu. She definitely deserved the best dressed award as she was so poised and all while all of us were either shouting, running after kids and playing the games. I wonder if she’ll be that cool and poised with a toddler in tow next time. Honestly, Kelly seemed to be aloof at first (hey impressions ko to so I can anything, haha) but blended instantly after. She told me I was “so” thin pala and and tall. I wish she said pretty din, hahaha. Kelly looked every inch of a fashionista that night.
As I was talking to Apols, another mommy was coming and I honestly can’t figure who. I asked Apols and it was Thea. If there’s one blogger mommy I’m not really familiar with, its Thea. She was with her pretty daughter and was the only one wearing a dress. No, you don’t look preggy at all. We were team mates during one of the games and I’d say she’s very game. I’m starting to really get to know her now as I’m a constant visitor of her blog now.
Last but not the least, when the party was almost over, Apple came with Austin. Too bad we didn’t really got to chat as during this time, it was a riot already. Grimace was dancing and kids were all over the place. It was very nice of her to give out key chains to all the mommies. She looks one ma-kwento mommy too so I hope to get to chat with her soon.
The party was a blast and meeting all the mommies was great. Hopefully we all find time to meet up again soon.
