Last July 08, 2010 at 6 p.m., the CSsR junior professed and senior community members flocked their way to Felis Beach Resort, Punta Dumalag, Matina Aplaya, Davao City, to attend the 78th birthday celebration of Tita Betty Domingo, one of our Oblates and a member of the Centennial group of our parish, and the founding anniversary of their family-owned resort. True to its name- “Felis” which means happy, the venue was infused with felicitation and jubilation for these remarkable events in the Domingo Family. Glancing around, everyone’s countenance was painted with smiles and greetings were audibly heard in all corners as Tita Betty moved around and welcomed all her well-wishers.
The celebration started with a simple but heart-warming prayer for the gathering and prayer for the food respectively. Overflowing and delectable cuisines were served on the corners of the hall. And while everybody was busy cuing for food choices and feasting on the abundant food, an all male band- the “highlight band” entertained and enlivened the celebrator’s family members, friends and guests with their version of the famous songs of the 70’s.
Nonetheless, Tita Betty’s grandchildren donned on their best suits surprised their granny with their fashion showcase of the 70’s. On one hand, her daughter graced her way on stage with her dance sport presentation. The CSsR students, on the other hand, rendered a ballad performance of the song “You” as our way of sharing her joy; even if the rendition was not that impressive, however that was the best put forward the students could do that night. Program fillers followed after us which also added to the vibrancy of the bash. Surely everybody left that place with a cheer in their hearts and a good gastronomic fill.
