Before, During and After Diva's Birthday!


Diva's birthday, falls on Saturday this year, that means, she's on GMA rehearsing for Party Pilipinas instead of celebrating. I haven't got any chance to ask her if she has any plan or future plan for her special day. Divaholics on the other hand, has simple plan for her.

Diva flew to Cebu for a Mall Show on January 13, in line with the celebration of Sinulog Festival. Together with her, were other Kapuso Stars, like Steven Silva, Mark Herras, Isabel Oli and many more. Some of  her friends and fans, went to Cebu Ayala Center not only to watch the show but also to take the opportunity to meet and greet her personally. She did a song and dance number there. Taking time to rest after work, they chose to stay  in Cebu for the rest of that day. Since, it's her birthday on the next day, Diva, accompanied by Steven also visited the Sto. Nino Shrine to pray and give thanks for another year in her life and for all the blessings that came her way and her family and love ones during the past year. Then, she with her friends, welcome January 14, by late food tripping. That marks the initial celebration.

On the following day, they went back to Manila at 9 am. They rested for a couple of hours, then proceeded to rehearsal. I don't know if Diva has still enough energy to go out and celebrate with her Party Pilipinas family. As fas ar I know, she went home early at night to rest and prepare for the Sunday show.

I set  myself to watch Party Pilipinas, of course because of her birthday, so I decided to pick her up in her house on that Sunday morning. Arrived there at 8:30 am, and she's ready. She brought with her, her usual stuff, clothes, shoes, etc. I personally don't like the idea of getting inside the studio at so early time, coz I'm only part of the audience. But I don't have any choice and I have to pin my self on the chair and wait for other Divaholics till they get inside. The truth is, I am guarding their seats, for the worry that they would be occupied by other fans when there's no more seats left to be seated. :)) It always happened. It so hard to control people even when they knew that the seats are labeled for a particular group. Anyway, I succeeded on keeping the area for our group. :) 

Diva was part of the grand opening number. As the show started, the audience were already going wild to cheer their respective favorite Party Pilipinas artists.  Of course, we have our own moment! We enjoyed every performance but so much more of  the Steven-Diva tandem of Sayaw Pilipinas Crew. Just like what I overheard, inspite of the shouting and cheering crowd, "Ang lakas magpakilig ng STIVA!" (Steven-Diva) I myself, can't get over with these two. And our live viewing was completed by the song and dance number of the GirlSquad.

Diva's thank you message.


Our birthday treat follows after the show. Since, I had the chance to invite Steven for that dinner few days ahead, he positively responded. Everybody was delighted when he join us.  There's really no dull moment when the group was with Diva. And her team up with Steven is the coolest ....and the sweetest!



Good times! 

STIVA (Steven and Diva) give message to all the STIVA addicts!
