Saturday, October 11, 2008 Atienza: A SENIOR-ita Birthday By Gina G. Atienza Chatroom
CLOSE friends and family let their hair down for the “Senior-ita Birthday Party” of Anna-Marie Llamas-Dizon who looks forward to getting that valued senior citizen card!
Not that this lady looks a day over 40. I am willing to bet that some cashier or box-office ticket seller will take her to task for lying about her age in order to get a discount!
The definitely blooming birthday girl welcomed her luncheon guests to Hola España along Paseo Saturnino in Maria Luisa Park with adoring husband, Johnny Aguilar-Dizon by her side.
The Llamases, the Lhuilliers, the Martinezes and a group of her closest friends enjoyed a delicious buffet of Spanish paella, bacalao, garden salad, pasta and baby back ribs. The desserts, particularly the chocolate cake, were worth every pound gained!
Red and white wine flowed freely throughout the event, which probably explained why it was running on 2 p.m. and friends were still around having a great time.
By 3 p.m., people got into a dancing mood, lured by a live musical duo who had everyone on their feet with tunes like Dancing Queen and Celebrate!
To my dear friend, Anna-Marie, "feliz cumpleaños! Que cumplas muchos mas!" (Happy birthday. May you have many more to come.)
