Kaleb’s Birthday. April showers not only brought spring flowers but friends, cakes, toys and lots of goodies at little Kaleb’s first birthday held Saturday at their residence in Skokie, IL. Mom Tiffany, Mommy Bevy, Lloyd and the whole B Bunch (and many volunteers!) made sure the guests had a good time. How time flies. [Photo by Joem Bayawa. View the FLICKR photo set.



Cyd Adriatico-Fernandez got an early start at her birthday celebration next week (April 18) as ZAMNAI officers took a break from the meeting to greet her a happy birthday at Helen Erickson's Park Ridge, IL. residence. Among the well-wishers was Coie Watters, Mrs. Kalayaan 2008 for this summer's Philippine Independence Day celebrations.[ABF]

Justino Bajamunde’s friends and relatives surprised him with a potluck dinner at their condo along Belmont Avenue in Chicago’s north side. Aside from his trademark “biko”, the table creaked with delicacies brought by the guests, much to the appreciation of loving wife Cita O. who is deep in preparation for this year’s San Vicente Fiesta on May 24 at Proesel Park in Skokie.

Maria Theresa Simborio’s birthday party capped photographer Joem Bayawa’s evening. Always a fun crowd, this party lingered long into the spring evening and then some. View the FLICKR photoset.
