Ukay-Ukay Sale

My barkada from the neighborhood and I decided to pool our stuff and have a rummage sale at our garage.

The plan was just to hold it for two days but since we gathered a lot of goods and many people were buying, we even extended for another day up to Monday.

Here are some pics.

Our bantay - Yaya Cat and Zoe hehehe


Shoes were sold for 3 pairs for a hundred only!


DVDs and mags for 10 bucks each!


Bags for 50 and 10:



The people who went to our sale were so diversed. The first people to buy were some squatter folks who attended a prayer meeting every Saturday morning at my neighbor's house. All of them literally 'attended' our ukay too. Maids and drivers from the neighborhood also flocked to our house not to mention our weekly labandera and my regular manicurista. There were also some construction workers who had a project along our street and bought DVDs and men's polos. There was also a funny bakla who looked at our goods and got many of our high-heeled sandals and kikay bags (even came back the next day donning my red high-heeled sandals!). Some veteran homeowners also passed by after their homeowners' meeting. One even bought a skirt thinking that it will be perfect as a costume for the 'children of Fatima' who parade every fiesta and Santacruzan. Our neighbor who is a big time real estate broker bought several stuff too (mostly our office clothes!). Imagine, we know her for being very rich but she was haggling with us like crazy! Hahaha!

Grabe talaga. Masaya!

Zoe's 2nd Birthday Party!

Image
Caution: Loaded with pictures!!! Everything was set for Zoe's 2nd birthday party. We initially invited only a few close family and friends but then our guest list ballooned up to more than 60 people on the day before. No regrets because it turned out to be so much fun! First, the FOOD! We asked the help of my SIL to cook kare-kare and kalderata while our Ate Nilda prepared molo soup, spaghetti, hotdog on stick and fruit medley. My Ninang pitched in and made some leche flan while I made peach & mango ref cake and some canapes (with egg salad) which was a HIT (thanks Anne for the tip!). Our birthday cake was from Red Ribbon (best buy!) while the rest of the food (pancit bam-i, fresh lumpia, chicken lollipops, herb-crusted fish fillet) were ordered from ever dependable Conti's. Pictures here: We had some goody bags and party hats for the guests too. The party started at 12 noon with a short prayer and a cheerful happy birthday song for Zoe: Then it was chowtime right
