Behind the Scenes with Ivy Visitacion |
The expression on her face was priceless. Linda Yulo looked so shocked that tears were welling up in her eyes when she walked into the room and was greeted by loud shouts and cheers of “Happy Birthday” from her friends and loved ones gathered there.
Days before, Linda's kids secretly contacted her close friends, inviting them to a surprise Hawaiian Luau birthday dinner for their mother at Sugarland Hotel in Bacolod City. They were all sworn to secrecy and amazingly, everyone kept their promise. On her birthday, Linda's husband, Emy, and their kids brought her to Sugarland Hotel ostensibly to have a simple family birthday dinner. She walked into the darkened room where everyone waited breathlessly.
Suddenly, pandemonium broke loose when the lights were switched on and everyone laughed over Linda's shocked reaction at seeing all the Hawaiian wahines greeting and hugging her.
It was the happiest, loudest birthday celebration ever with excellent food, upbeat music and the noisiest group of well-wishers ever assembled. Emy Yulo looked so pleased seeing how happy his wife was. There was an impromptu program where guests gave their best performance in singing and dancing, kuno! Even the beauteous Marlene Villasor sang a beautiful Spanish song.
I'm sure Linda would never forget this riotous birthday surprise ever. This just goes to prove how much this wonderful lady is loved by her family and friends. Linda, Happy Birthday!*
