“Speed up with
Ken”
Sun.Star Davao,
Nov. 3, 2012
Life could not even be more perfect
for my good high school friend Karen and hubby-architect Raffy Tayactac.
After nine years of marriage, they
were blessed with their first child, Ralph Kristoffer or Tofi, in 2009. Another
adorable baby, Raine Kendrick or Ken, joined their happy family in 2011.
For Ken’s 1st birthday
celebration recently at the Marco Polo Davao ballroom, superb event organizer
Noel Tanza of Golden Touch magically transformed the party venue into Radiator
Springs—the fictional town of the top-grossing animation movie Cars!
Cars’ Doc Hudson, Sally Carrera,
Mater, Luigi, Ramone, Sheriff, Flo, Filmore and Sarge graced the guest tables
as fun and colorful centerpieces together with the party theme’s balloons.
Daddy Raffy’s personal collection of
vintage cars such as a 1946 Pontiac Torpedo, 1960 Chevy Corvair and 1970 Rover
Mini were creatively decorated with animated faces reminiscent of the movie’s high
speed characters.
Isabel Bondal’s scrumptious birthday
cake and cupcakes were festooned with edible traffic stop lights, wheels,
traffic cones and stop signs.
Right after the birthday song and
blowing of the birthday candle, the young guests squealed in delight as the
Tayactac family unveiled a life-sized replica of Lightning McQueen which Raffy fabricated
in meticulous detail.
Jovial
party host Jymmez Infiesto along with Raffy, Tofi and Ken were all dressed up
as race car drivers complementing the ‘Cars’-themed party games and booths.
‘Pilipinas Got
Talent’ Season 3 first runner-up Gino Janducayan brought the house down with
his enchanting magic tricks and hilarious spiels.
Aside from the sumptuous buffet prepared by the Marco
Polo, guests also feasted on Dunkin Donuts, Tutti Frutti, Smokey’s Hotdog and
Lachi’s heavenly desserts.
Personalized Lightning McQueen pails, especially sent
from the U.S. by Karen’s only brother Jonathan, filled with ‘Cars’ cookies
served as the party souvenirs.
