Colonnade Party Pool - Reminiscing a Friend's Birthday Party

I'm missing summer a lot. I could no longer stand the cold weather and rainy days. Me and my best bud went shopping earlier. We're preparing for the Year-End Party we will be joining together. She asked me if I'll give her a gift, and I was surprised. I was caught off guard with that question. We were laughing and giggling when I couldn't answer her.

Gifts are supposed to be given voluntarily. But I recalled how she smiled and thanked me when I gave her my first gift ever on her birthday this year. Just so you know, I'm not a thoughtful person, but I swear I can be sweet.
She took this photo. I was posing for someone else, and she got the right angle. She got that prowess in photography she wouldn't admit.
Let me share to you how we spent her birthday. In case you want a detail on how she feel that day, you can go to her blog. CLICK HERE.
This is my bestfriend. Here name is Xoxo_Grah. We're  undeniably gorgeous. lol (c'mon give us a chance)
Did you see that cocktail ring on her finger? That's my first gift. And only one gift ever, but I always pray for her, love her, listen to her, and everything I do to please her. I'm such an incredible friend. (you're welcome, Inday) lol
She's a great cook. She's teaching me how to arrange the barbecue meat on its stick. (no reaction please. I said I no nothing about food. I'm good on take outs).
Look at my work (see how neat they are on the sticks)

Collonade Party Pool is great for group and family bonding. It is located in San Miguel, Bacong, Negros Oriental Philippines. It's only 5 KM from Dumaguete City. 

The entrance fee is Php 79.00 for adult and Php 49.99 for kids. The rate is good for six hours. We asked the owner if we could pay Php 100.00 and use the pool until evening.

Picture-taking while preparing the food.
I'm learning ;-) how to grill. (kidding, of course I know how to grill)
Great girl Buddies (excluding that guy, Hmmp joiners!)
The birthday girl is so hands-on to our food preparation.
Our humble table with joyful people celebrating 27th birthday of Xoxo_Grah.
We were like renting the whole place, because no guests arrived on that Sunday. The resort offers an affordable fee for food corkage. They have drinks, so you don't have to bring one.
We love taking pictures.
She's so focus using my digicam, Lexter.
And because she's the birthday celebrant, all focus are on her. hmmp!
This is the real one. Credits to Walter Grapa.
She really enjoyed her birthday. We were laughing. She's a good swimmer, so she wanted me to learn how to swim, too. But, I really couldn't learn. I end up drinking the whole lot of water, because I was drowned in a 6-feet pool.
While I was coughing, they're laughing. Great friends!

There were lot of photos I'd like to share, but I'd like you to focus on my best buds for now. 
God-fearing beautiful inside out friend, Xoxo_Grah.
going home
The day ended more than what we plan for. Her birthday was complete. Thank you guys for visiting my blog today. 



Just me,

  35. Adorable pool party! The photos are so fun and that food is looking super tasty. At some wedding venues Los Angeles we too would be attending a DIY wedding soon and the food there would be traditional Thai food. I am quite excited!
