Every year I look forward to Divine’s “themed” Christmas parties. She holds one of the best Christmas parties around. Everyone really gets into the program and goes on full gear. I remember one year it was the 50′s and another year it was Cowboys and Indians. This year’s theme is “JUNGLE FEVER”!
.
One thing really great about Divine is that she is always on time! I have travelled with her many times over and she has never missed out on our prescribed call time.
.
However, her friends are a completely different story! LOL! Nix and I won the early bird prize and got there at 845 pm even if the invitation said 7pm. We had a perfectly good excuse as we were watching Divine and Tessa Valdes on TV5′s Who wants to be a Millionaire. Both of them were playing for the Childhaus charity which is something very close to Divine’s heart. I was their “call a friend” and it was so nerve wracking! There were such a riot to see on TV! In fact they missed out me saying the right answer so they had to use another lifeline. LOL! It was still pretty successful as both of them won 400,000.00 pesos for Childhaus. That is still quite a sum.
.
Divine’s home was transformed into a virtual jungle with trees, folliage and all that jazz! Nix was super chic in a print mix of leopard and African-esque patterns. I came as Divine and Vic’s dog LIEMPO! LOL! The spread was very Divine! LECHON and LECHON!!! Oh there was also Crispy Pata! LOL! It still baffles me how amazing she looks when she literally eats like 2 famished construction workers! LOL!
.
Nix and Khaz were both in Proud Race! I really love that young line.
I came as Liempo! LOL!
Nix and Khaz pay homage to the Mother! LOL!
Divine's main wing man, Tbram as Barok! LOL!
.
After dinner, the amazing guests arrived. We would run to the door to see all the amazing costumes. The volume of the party progressively got to a deafening pitch as the evening deepened. Much to the delight of all of us her “Becki” friends.
.
Xtina, Rxcy and Divine!
Bambi really outdid herself! I adored her Parrot costume!
Florence and Tina Daniac were so chic in their noire plumes!
Jake literally came as a tree in the jungle! While Matt came as Little riding hood... Hmmm...I guess pwede na rin forest ang jungle? LOL! Shahani came as a very chic safari traveller!
Elmer and Tbram in matching prints!
RCXY ended up being voted best dressed in his Apocalypto inspired costume! Bravo!
New couple on the block are my loves! Bianca and Carlos! I can't wait what these creative kindred spirits bring in 2012.
.
The highlights of the parties were the several games that we play like Pinoy Genio! Which is always a hoot. Then the main event which is the Bingo games which are the only thing that keeps everyone still and quiet as the prizes are really wonderful!
.
Here is Mark trying to get "booking" in the Pinoy Genuio game. He eventually got it in the nick of time.
His partner was Dennis who was really good! Can you find his angry bird?
I was so happy to see Veejay with his LOVE! Ikaw na Veejay! Really happy for you!
Veejay and Martin in matching Safari looks!
Dennis, Martin and Elmer in various themes of the jungle!
Patrick was really chic in this deconstructed taupe ensemble! I am so proud of him because he is slowly carving out a niche for himself as a stylist in the metropolis.
All beautiful creatures! This is the new age of the L to R ladies! LOL!
Nica was really so chic! Chaneling Mrs. Imelda Cojuanco!
We're all set to play Bingo!
Animalistic chic! Nica and my baby girl Stacy! I am so happy to have her back from NYC!
.
I am grateful to Divine and Vic as I truly consider them more than friends. They are family to me and Nix! It was a really fun party but everyone of us were really affected by the recent turn of events in CDO, Iligan and Dumaguete. My family is from Dumaguete and I have loads of friends in both CDO and Iligan. Divine and I have been quietly doing all that we can to gather resources to send aid and help. This is not a one time effort for us and it should not be the same for you reading this.
.
Let us all continue to work hard for the the regions’ rehabilitation. Let us all find ways to never let this happen again. These kind of tragedies could have seriously been avoided if we were more vigilant and mindful of mother nature. Keep well my friends!
.
HUGS!
RAJO!
