Oh, Popeye! My Popeye!

last thursday, i met with some high school batchmates at the national sports grille in makati...actually it was a meeting amongst the overall organizing committee regarding preparations for our silver jubilee celebration next year...i wanna make this post to feature one unusual highlight from said meeting...our honorary member - - -

isn't he cute? we were in the midst of discussing pertinent issues when one of the girls started pulling out things from her 'magic bag'...we let her tinker with her materials while the meeting was ongoing until we can't help but stop and just watch her as form and shape began to surface...'twas amazing - all in 15 minutes or so, she made Popeye from scratch! and she presented it to me as belated birthday gift, supposedly what she wanted to do 2 months ago but i was out of town...her business is basically hosting kiddie parties, facilitate their games or do balloon sculpture shows as "The Balloon Lady" - surely, Popeye could be one proof that she's serious with her craft...

when i brought Popeye home, we had fun getting him around the house the next day...

my 3-year old nephew is away with his mom for a few days but i'm pretty sure he'd be so glad to meet Popeye...
