Grand Ole Oprah

Last Saturday, we celebrated Tintin's 40th birthday by channeling one of her favorite personalities - Oprah!

Tintin has always been a big Oprah fan, and I recall how she'd always have an Oprah quote ready whenever we'd discuss problems or issues in life. (Her personal favorite: "Never, ever, ever, EVER give up.) So, as Tintin begins her life anew, we got all dressed up in our "Oprah-best" and gave the birthday girl some Oprah-style lovin'.



Maricar was our Oprah for the day, and here she is with my co-party organizer - Gracie. (She might be Gayle in this shot.)



Like Oprah's segment, "My favorite things," we also had a "Tintin's favorite things" game. According to that game, Tintin's favorites include Chiz Curls, Pastillas, Cheese Rolls, Buko Pandan, and of course, The Oprah Magazine. And we capped it off with another favorite - Chocolate Cake! (Although I remember Tintin prefers it with Marshmallow Icing.)



As the birthday girl blew out her candles, we could see that she was having fun on her big day.



D' Frendz also gave Tintin an Oprah-style makeover. We put together a power look to help her seize power at the office. Harhar.



One great thing about this party is that D' Frendz were all accounted for. It was the 2nd Saturday that we were able to gather everyone together. (The first being last week during Mark's surprise birthday and despedida party.)

There were the little Frendz.



And the big Frendz. (Although Mark and Rick weren't able to make it.)



Lots of food, lots of frendz and lots of fun - there was a lot to be thankful for on Tintin's birthday.

Oprah would've been proud to be part of this celebration.
