October 11 - Benedic's 7th Birthday

October 11, 2008, Saturday, we went to our godson's 7th birthday celebration. Benedic is the son of our common friend Ate Carol and my husband's former boss Bill. They had three sons, Dan, Carl, and Benedic. It is also their house blessing; and they just moved in few weeks ago to their new house in Dasmarinas.

Upon arriving to the place, we saw already few of their family members in the area. Ate Carol was very happy to tour us around their new house. We were been in their old house back at General Trias for many times, and it is our first time to see their new home. Well, knowing that it is located in an executive village gives us the clue that the house is going to big and beautiful, and that is exactly what we saw.

My husband volunteered himself to took pictures of the event, while I did the video coverage.
The house blessing has a heart touching moment when our friend Bill, give a short speech. He was very thankful for our Lord that He had given his family all the blessings that they receiving right now. He mentioned in his speech that his family does not have anything, their house in Blumentritt is made out of old GI sheets, wherein if the wheater is hot it is really hot in there. His mother and wife is crying from the start of his speech until the end. All of the people who attended the house blessing were touched by his story.

After the house blessing, the birthday celebration started. The kids were very happy doing fun games and watching the clown performing some magic tricks; which they knew already but they still enjoyed it. My son and justin won the stop dance contest, although there were three pairs remaining at the end of the contest, the clown decide to give the prize to the pair because they were the ones who were youngest of the remaining pairs.
