Time flies so fast. My daughter just turned 4 last November 6 and I can’t believe that in just few years, I would be having a little lady already. Sometimes I just wish she’s a little baby forever so she will stay in my arms forever. I will never get tired of kissing and hugging my daughter. I like the smell of her delicate skin and her hair. I love kissing her scalp as we have our cuddle time together. But time will still pass and sooner or later, my little Cathniss will soon have her own life. With the Lord’s guidance, I know she can make it with her life. I just want her to know that no matter what life gives her, me and her Dad will always be here for her. We will never leave her side in all her journey and milestone be it good or bad.
Let’s go back to the little celebration that we had for my daughter’s 4th birthday. We held the venue at BSA Tower Hotel at Mandaluyong City (besides St. Francis Square). My in-laws together with my sister and her son arrive at the hotel at exactly 2pm whereas me, my husband and my daughter plus the nanny arrived at the hotel at around 1pm. We made an early check-in to make sure that we won’t go into long queue of line compared to last year.
This time BSA Tower Hotel had made a revamp on their swimming pool facility. They turned their indoor pool into a wave pool. The sad news is that we’re not able to experience yet the wave pool during our stay since renovation/construction is still going on. But now as I’m writing this blog, the wave pool is now ready for experience! For inquiries, call the number on the image below:

The celebration of my daughter’s birthday was just simple. We bought the famous spaghetti of Ambers along with shanghai, chicken lollipop and pichi-pichi. My mother in-law had cooked and brought some home-cooked food too. I appreciate the little things that Nanay Melba is doing every year for Cathniss birthday. She also has a gift for Cathniss that made my little girl very joyous as she tries to unwrap the box.
As for the cake, we bought 2 pieces of round ice cream cakes (9”) from Dairy Queen that is located inside the SM Megamall. The mall is just one cross away from BSA tower. The price of the cake per piece is just P499. It comes in 3 colors – pink, yellow, & blue. Since my kid is a girl, I go for the pink & yellow colors.
Since my sister is a home-based party planner, she made balloon standees that would add décor to the intimate gathering. The balloons come in girly colors of pink, white & purple. Letter balloons are also present spelling the greetings of HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the wall. The designs were simple and very personalized for the little event. We placed the décor on the other side of the wall making it as our official photo booth.
As soon as all the decorations were setup, we started the small event by taking pictures using the decorated wall as our back draft.
Then we sang birthday greeting song to our Cathniss as she blows her cake’s candle. Dinner started then after the song. We all get to share and taste all the foods on the table. Cathniss started to open her gifts and received kiss greeting from our relatives.
It’s been a fulfilling celebration for our daughter. We couldn’t ask for more but for her best safety and good health in the coming years. She’s always been a blessing to us and God’s answer to our heart’s desire.
