It was a very festive, joyful and enjoyable Pre-Christmas Party that “Amigas y Amigos” celebrated last Monday, hosted by our very generous friend, Caroline Tanchay, at her Ore Central Bldg in BGC. She had a scrumptious spread of pasta, lengua, sushi, tuna sashimi, among others. There were just too many delish dishes to enumerate from Dean & Deluca. Her lively band, “Something Special” of Bobby del Rosario, played and sang songs that were so hip and cool, encouraging us to join in the line dancing.
Playing bingo brought out the child-like qualities in the guests, allowed participants to focus, yet were delighted and mindful of whether the ones beside them were almost close to winning.
We thank all the generous donors: Shy and Billie Tan, Vivian and Bernie Caramba, Helen and Marian Ong, Mellie Ablaza and Czarina Syquia, Rachel Renucci, Rosalind Wee, Desi and Dinky Laperal, Baby Cheng, Dely and Yvette Fernandez, Jaqui Boncan, Rita Villanueva, Jun and Kourtney Camcam, and others for the bingo and dance prizes, for the bottles of wine, and for the dance instructors.
Dancing with the Band was very thrilling and delightful, and most of the guests showed off their prowess in dancing with their graceful dance moves.
The hosts and donors congratulated Amb Bruhl and Mme Denise for winning the 1st prize basket of goodies from Santi’s for the dance contest. Coming closely was the vibrant Alex Ferry, winning another basket of Santi’s goodies.
We congratulate Dinky Laperal, Amb Mounir, and Rowena Chua for winning the 2nd prize of baskets of goodies as well, for the dancing contest.
Last but not the least, Raffy Guevara won the Best Dressed for Male and Czarina Syquia won the Best Dressed for Female contests.
What an exciting night, and a night to remember for Amigas y Amigos!
