Shades of pink and lilac with a touch of silver set the mood of a pretty little girl’s Barbie-themed birthday party. The celebrator, Ysabella Andrea Dormido, known to family and friends as Bella, especially requested for a ballerina Barbie-inspired party as she turned four this month.
Guests came dressed as Ken and Barbie. The excited little guests and their mommies filled the L’ Sea Restaurant function room, that was transformed into a “Barbie Party Room” with décor of colors and toys so close to a little girl’s heart.
Bella and her classmates from L’Ecole opened the party with a fantastic dance number which drew rapturous applause from the audience. She and close friends Lance, Lysander, Shae and Anne made guests giggle and enjoy while they energetically danced to One Direction's Live “While We're Young”. Little boys Ali Visitacion and Myron Garth Lipa serenaded the birthday girl with their own renditions of “My Heart Will Go On” and “Just the Way You Are”, respectively.
Aside from the kiddie games and pabitin, the children had fun watching the puppet show, courtesy of Mr. Wilson. The kids were amazed when they witnessed the highlight of the party – The Bubble Show. Giant and small bubbles floating in the air made the children jump and shout for joy. The kids were also given a chance to try their hands at making bubbles.
Bell is the daughter of Engineer Crispin Dormido and ABS-CBN broadcast journalist Yasmin Pascual-Dormido.
Keisha Cheniese Alquizar won as best in Barbie costume, with Yumi Miranda and Beatrice Mijares as first and second runners-up. After feasting on the yummy food especially prepared for the party, everyone enjoyed the games, songs and dances which they all participated in.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELL!*
