"Let out your loudest roar as we celebrate the wildlife! Dinner at the LIONtangile Kingdom. Pls check with Queen Malou-zambi for what dish/drink to bring! Come in your wildest animal print!"
This text came from Sea Princess Tessa Prieto Valdes who knows that a little wildlife goes a long, long way. She said in a follow up text that it was an end of summer party as well as a joint birthday celebration for dear friends Anton Barretto, Rajo Laurel, Victor Basa, Pauline Hofer, and Dustin Reyes. Fun stuff to do like Paint Your Own Pillow brought out everyone's creative and competitive spirits. And jungle themed charades elicited such hilarious guesses as ROARING DINOSAUR and VULTURE CULTURE!

Roooaaarrr!!! Roooaaarrr!!! Roooaaarrr!!!
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Wala lang! Just linking the song to roar! |

| Right, Michael & Tessa??? |
Really enjoyed the party! Thank you, Tessa! And thank you, Malou Gamboa, for the pictures! Roooaaarrr!!!
