A Suite Life

Never have I imagined that I'll be attending a birthday party that will be held in a motel. Bridal showers and stag parties are acceptable. But a birthday party?!?! No way! This was my initial reaction upon hearing my friend's suggestion that we could have our joint birthday bash at Victoria Court. On a second thought, the idea sounds a bit cool.

We found an online deal regarding Victoria Court’s party package. Originally, the package costs 15000 php. But the online deal only costs 5250 php and here were the perks:

• venue will be at the motel’s party room or suite of our choice
• we could bring up to 20 guests
• free food and drinks for 10 people
• free use of videoke
• room has jacuzzi
• use of room is good for 7 hours
• no corkage fee for food and drinks that will be brought inside

It’s a good deal, isn’t it? Come to think of it, it will only cost us 5250 php for a party that’s already good for 20 persons. The deal was so good that we couldn’t resist buying it. And so we bought it and we started planning for the party. Our choice for the room is ARUBA suite. It was supposed to be Austin Powers but this was already reserved for another group.

The ARUBA suite was nice. Upon entering the door, you would immediately see the jacuzzi. A buffet table has been setup in the ‘living room’ area and mono block chairs were setup to accommodate all of the guests. On the entrance of the bedroom, there was a movable wall. On one side there is the TV and the other side has a mirror. So if you want to watch TV while lying on the bed, just turn the wall and presto, the TV is already facing the bed! The ambiance was nice and the room was so cozy.

 Our drinks for that night were: Absolut Vodka Citron, Absolut Vodka Kurant, Tequila Rose, Bailey’s, and Jose Cuervo. We are not heavy drinkers and I couldn’t imagine that we’ll finish all these bottles. But I was wrong! We started drinking Absolut Vodka Citron mixing it with iced tea or sprite. First bottle down! Next was Bailey’s. Second bottle down! Next was Absolut Vodka Kurant mixed with sprite. Third bottle was not entirely consumed; about ¼ of the content was left. The group also tasted the Strawberry flavored Tequila Rose. Because of its sweetness, not everybody enjoyed this drink. Finally, Jose Cuervo’s turn came. To make the tequila session more fun and exciting, we decided to play body shots.

 

Couples, non-couple, boy-to-boy, girl-to-girl… everyone participated in our body shots game. I must admit that I had so much while doing this activity. Everyone was screaming, laughing, and cheering. We were like college students again. Due to public demand, we requested for an hour extension for the Aruba Suite.

  

I must say that I had the best party in my whole life (so far) on this day – February 19, 2011. We didn’t expect that it will be so much fun. It was such a very unforgettable night. For those who came, thanks for sharing this fun night with us – the birthday celebrants. For those who weren’t able to come, you surely missed a one-of-a-kind event in your life. I hope that our group could have this kind of party again in the future. I love you guys! Thanks for all the laughter!’Til next time! Happiness! <3
