NON-party birthday celebration

[euqihn18]

mga sis ok lang ba kung magbirthday ang babies nyo aged 4 and up ng walang party? just bring them nalang somewhere na mageenjoy naman sila like mall with kiddie sections where they can play like kidz rep, storyland, etc. then just have lunch/dinner/meryenda nalang kayong pamilya (mom, dad and siblings) sa kung saan gusto ng celebrator...since sobrang hirap ng buhay ngayon at panahon ng bagyo ang birthday ng daughters ko at may binyag/birthday parin kaming pinaghahandaan, i opted to celebrate their birthday that way nalang. ok lang kaya kung ganun? opinion naman mga sis..thanks

[momai]

hi! sa tingin ko ok lang yun. basta wag kalimutan ang cake para may ma-blow siyang candle at simpleng gift lang. im sure mag eenjoy ang may birthday.

[euqihn18]

cake? uhmm! pwede bang sa mall nalang din namin gawin yung blowing of candles  (sobrang tipid mode)...ang dami kasi namin kasama sa bahay, since di naman talaga kami maghahanda, parang ayaw narin namin magpakita ng kahit anung pagdiriwang sa bahay..hehe baka makantyawan pa ng bakit cake lang samantalang nung mga past birthday e talagang party kung party...yung gift, ok lang ba kung papiliin ko nalang sila or mas ok parin yung may excitement sa pag open ng gift at "surprise!"?

[euqihn18]

in addition lang po...saan ba magandang ipasyal yung daughters ko para sa ganung set up...puro laro lang naman din ang gusto nila e..any recomendations na magandang puntahan at mageenjoy din naman talaga sila...tia

^im not yet a mom, pero pwede niyo rin itry ipasyal ang kids sa fun ranch / big red barn during their bday

[euqihn18]

^saan yung mga yun sis? inside malls or covered area ba yung mga yun? never pa kasi nagbirthday ang junakis ko ng walang bagyo

[wengerts]

^ sis sa may tiendesitas sa ortigas

when my daughter turned 8 last February, the 2 of us just ate at red ribbon, yung meal na merong cake. after that, i bought her what she wanted and thats it.

i dont really celebrate the birthday of my kids the grand way. even when they were 1 or 7 years old. we usually just have spaghetti, chicken,menudo and cake or sometimes we just eat out then treat them sa gamezone, quantum or whatever game center na meron.

[euqihn18]

^ ah medyo alam ko na siya tho di pa talaga ako nakapunta sa place na yun..kaya lang sis ang layo sa amin e, paranaque pa kasi kami manggagaling and we also anticipate bad weather on their birhtday..nakita ko yung website nila, maganda nga sya puntahan kaya lang medyo may kalayuan talaga...any other suggestions po mga sis

thanks sis momai, sis health.gal and sis wengerts

^sa festival mall may pixie's forest (tama nga ba?) If type mo naman sa bandang moa may discovery center tapos meron din laruan sa may ice creamery sorry d ko alam totoo na name basta malapit sa smx.

Oks yang ganyan na celebration sis. Wala naman norms sa pagsecelebrate ng bday nagkataon lang na kiddie party ang topic kaya puros mga nagpaparty na parents ang nagshe-share

[bluekaren780]

madalas kasi ang question diyan ay kung ano ang gusto talaga nila and not kung ano ang sa tingin natin ay ok kasi malalaki na sila...

if you think di carry yung gusto niya, then saka tayo mag-come up of a plan B and propose it to him/her kung ok lang na yung idea mo na lang muna ang gawin ninyo.

[euqihn18]

^^actually nagtitingin ako sa moa last sunday kaya lang parang di ko naman masyadong naikot, kidz rep tsaka yung parang maliit lang na room na may mga laruan sa loob (memory loss, di ko matandaan yung name) pero try ko nga rin i-research yang pixie's forest..thank you sis

^yung junakis ko naman kasi sis kung [textspeak!] lang yung sabihin ko, yun lang din, hindi naman sila nag iinsist ng gusto nila  pero sa ngayon gustong gusto nila puntahan is star city kaya lang for sure sa birthday nila sarado ang star city dahil sa bagyo or lakas ng ulan kaya malamang mall lang talaga ang bagsak namin 

[stormy]

^david's fun house siguro yang sinasabi mo sis bale sa kabilang wing ng MOA yung discovery center at yung isang kids zone (d ko alam name) nila tapos may resto na maeenjoy din ng kids kasi ice cream parlor na.

[jhoanneaganda]

di ko pa din alam kung mag jojollibee party kme or not... pero ang initial plan nmen mag check in na lang sa hotel buong family... kain lang mahal naman kasi h20 gusto ko sana there...

[betty]

maganda pa sa hotel, you can use the pool, as long as you like.

Of course! That way, your kids do not grow up being superficial about their enjoyment of events.  Some things can be enjoyed in simple ways, what is important is not that maka pag show off ka to a lot of people, but that you find contentment in the bosom of your family.

That is also a way to teach kids that not everyday is a sunny day, you have to save for rainy days or more important stuff.

Yes naman po.. yUng daughter ko nung 1 year old lang kami nag held ng birthday party for her. Tapos nung 2nd bday nya, konting handa lang sa bahay, tapos binili ko  na lang ng pinaka wish nya talaga.. Nung 3rd bday naman nya, pinasyal ko lang ko lang siya sa mall tapos binili ko lang ng bike, yun kasi wish nya. Nung 4th bday nya, sa school nya kami nag celebrate.. Tapos nung 5th bday, nag - overnight lang kami sa Club Manila East, na- enjoy nya yung ganun.. Ngayon nga, kinakausap ko siya na pag 7yrs old na siya dun lang kami mag - party..nag - agree naman siya, pero sa susunod na birthday daw nya punta daw kami sa Enchanted hehe..

when i was a kid, my parents prepared spaghetti, puto, pancit, lumpia, hotdogs, ice cream and cake for me. we just invited my playmates. after blowing the candles and eating, my friends and i played outside. simple but i remember being so excited to dress up and to blow the candles on my cake. kids appreciate the little things. basta enjoy sila, memorable na ang birthday.

[happy_pomelo]

^Thanks for sharing this. 

This gives me an englightened perspective for planning my dauther's 2nd birthday.

@Aquacharly - I just resolved that anything that is just for show-off should not make it to my list.   Makes for a very short list! Hahahaha!

[euqihn18]

ako rin...would also want to thank you mga sis who have shared their thoughts and ideas...really appreciate it. korek kayo mga sis, i need not to prepare that much for my kids' birthday just to show it off to others na bongga ang birthday ng junakis ko... i must say na above all...its only the happiness of my kids are more important on their birthday at hinde ang ikasasaya or masasabi ng ibang tao on how we celebrate their birthday.

anyways, parang meron na akong venue para sa birthday ng babies ko...cosmic kidz at moa though medyo mahal ang entrance pero ok narin...surely they will enjoy, then buy ko nalang sila ng gift at divi, baka worth 500 na iba't ibang stuff toys..pwede na siguro yun...sana lang din ma-enjoy nila pati yung gift
