Isn't she lovely?

Lovely Bacolod teenager, Rexylin Ann Acot Cabaltera celebrated her 18th birthday with a grand celebration at Sugarland Hotel. Her family and friends came dressed in their colorful party frocks to join the celebration. The guests were ecstatic over the beautiful décor of the ballroom which accented the fuchsia and apple green color motif of the party. If Rexylin's pretty face looks familiar, it's because she is a popular co-host of ABS-CBN'S "Sabado Barkada" weekly TV show as well as a commercial TV model.

Looking like a princess at her ball, Rexylin made her entrance in an enchanting white ballgown adorned with flowerettes and butterflies, designed by Richard Posa.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious dinner specially prepared for the occasion. The evening's entertainment included an ultra modern cotillon which combined the classic waltz, modern jazz as well as the hip hop craze of the young. There was high drama as the debutante delivered a moving message to her family, especially to her mother and stepfather Daddy Ronnie, which left most of the people teary-eyed. According to her mother, this young student from USLS is a very obedient and loving daughter, who is aiming for a nursing degree. HAPPY BIRTHDAY REXYLIN!

A most enjoyable Christmas party was held recently by the PLDT Bacolod Retirees Association at L Sea Restaurant. The party was attended by ninety members headed by its president Abelyn dela Cruz. There were lots of fun and surprises enjoyed by the group. What brought the house down was the rib-tickling presentation of the local version of "Deal or No Deal" game hosted by Joy Limsiaco, local version of Kris Aquino. Kudos to the organizers of this very successful Christmas party.*
