Ever been to a well-dressed party where the guests kept laughing all night?
Well, this happened recently during the Sunshine Boys' joint birthday celebration at L'Fisher Hotel. Birthday celebrators, Drs. Ricardo Yanson, Serafin Jimena Jr. and Ed Mercado, Pompeyo Querubin, Judge Jesus Ramos and Milque Benedicto, were all a picture of sartorial elegance in their formal coat and tie attires. They certainly gave a party with style, even giving away raffle cash prizes from P2,000 up to P10,000!
Most of the specially invited guests were the WOW ladies, who came dressed to the nines, led by president Inday Pefianco. Wine flowed all night as the hosts mingled, making chica-chica and photo ops with their lovely guests. The always witty emcee, Monet Rojas, who was later joined by the equally witty, William Mirano, carried the ball all throughout the entertaining program with his adlibs and bon mots.
Even Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella sang, “It's a Wonderful World” for the birthday celebrators. This was followed by a special guest from Dumaguete City, Nene Belloso, who sang, “My Way”.
Dinner was excellent. Everyone enjoyed the array of superb dishes especially prepared for the occasion. After the meal, Monet introduced a very funny guest performer, Norman Mitchell, a stand-up comedian, singer and stage personality, who brought the house down with his antics and jokes. His side-splitting performance left the audience weak from laughing so much. He even got everyone to sing along with him (how on earth did he ever do that!), with the songs, “Matilda”, and “Day-O”.
I tell you, I have never laughed so hard at a party in all my life! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUNSHINE BOYS!*
