Mindanao Adventure Day 2 Part 4: Luau Dinner at Paras

It was a luau-themed party this time. Sabi pa ng isa sa amin, laua /la-woo-ah/ party na!

I know it's kind of cliche to adopt this never-dying theme, but hey florals still make us feel feminine and beautiful. So here we are. Osang even went all out and bought leis for everyone in Divisoria, while Cecilie brought frangipanis from New Zealand. (If you don't know what frangipanis are, then do what I did when Cecilie asked me if the girls would want her to bring some--google the word!) 

The godmothers for this dinner were: Midette, Baby Rose, Dorie, and Anne. After that long day of touring Camiguin, we were looking forward to having a sumptuous dinner.

Isn't it more fun to eat with flowers in your hair? Teka, GenT, 'san ang frangipani mo?

Even the Pahed boys gamely followed our motifs. Lookit Nathan's awesome necklace!

The food we ordered was their set menu at Php350/person. (Total was Php6,300). I felt there was not enough food served. Medyo bitin. Anong masasabi mo, Osang?

As I mentioned at the start of my Day 2 Part 1 post when we were on a ferry to Camiguin, it was our Mama Nes' birthday. Anne had the idea of surprising her with a birthday cake (and she paid for it too!), so I surreptitiously ordered a chocolate cake from Paras.

After dinner, the lights suddenly went out, and the Paras staff went out bringing a cake singing "Happy birthday to you..." Syempre, touched to the max ang lola!

There was a nice stage set-up for the night at the restaurant. It seemed like it was magically designed and lain out just for us.

Yan na ba ang pinak-wacky n'yo, Cecilie at Cecile? Bakit 'di n'yo gayahin si Levi? Toink!!!

The night was capped by a relaxing massage for each one of us. Cecile volunteered to treat us this time. (Aah...to have such generous friends!) Five masseurs were arranged by Paras to give us room service rubdowns (at P400@). We were snoring in no time as soon as the healing hands touched our aching backs. 

Just as well, for we were setting off for another long adventure the next day at 5:00 a.m.
