Arlene’s intro.

She’s the air that we breathe

She’s the beat in our heart

She’s the pride that we feel

She is a special piece of our being

She is a blessing

She is a gift

She makes the world different with her existence

She gives meaning to our weary heart…

We can never thank God enough for the gift of life to my one and only pamangkin….she is everything to
us…

A mother’s AU-AU to AM AM[ debutante}

Ladies and Gentlemen. I would first like to thank you all for coming to my
daughter Andrea michaela’s –AM AM ‘s 18th birthday party tonight.

.18th is a milestone in her life, and ours as parents. To see her grow from the
beautiful, small and fragile child I first saw in the hospital, 18 years ago today,
to the strong and independent woman that stands before us now. She is
smart, beautiful and has worried us a few times over the years with her
choices especially that as you all know I and her papa worked outside the
country. But we make sure we provide her the air of the family-love that she
is entitled too---and cannot discredit the patience and loving -- tito arnil who
helps us and of course my late mama Temia---who also unconditionally
provided that arena of love to AM AM she deserves.

we are all here today to say we all love AM –AM and wish you every
happiness in whatever you do next.

..Your studies---your choices ---your good contribution to the society we are

in... But really, you have filled our lives with a happiness that cannot be
measured by any scale every individual has, Shown us more love than we
knew possible and you have made us the happiest parents that there is –
thank you AM-AM---for understanding us with papa and for being so
responsible. you so deserve this party ,anak!!!

So good luck in your life God bless you am-am and I hope that one day your
children will bring you as much happiness as you have brought to us and me
as ur mom/

Just remember this .. ..,

Be happy, and reach for the moon, as if you miss you will land amongst the
stars, and be the brightest we can see as you have your theme this
way…glittering, shimmering, shining splendid…be a good star always no
matter what---Be GOD CENTERED--do shine in your own special way…just
don’t compare to other stars kay for always, all stars are a part of the
constellation we are in….so just be yourself anak----and remember our love is
deep and we have love you unconditionally.

Dear Lord, on this day that we celebrate “insert name”'s birth, I pray for blessings and joy over
“insert name”. You knew everything about “insert name” before her birth and You have a plan of
prosperity and hope for her life! Let her feel confident and ready for the year ahead knowing that
You have an order to her steps and a purpose for her life. Help her to find joy in every
circumstance in life, knowing that You work all things out for good. I thank You for “insert name”,
for loving her with unconditional love, and for the promises You have spoken over her life. In
Jesus Name, Amen.

Every milestone in life is a remarkable event... an occasion to celebrate and be

grateful for. Nothing is worthier than appreciating God's blessings and praising
Him everyday. Either in joy or sorrow, we close our eyes... kneel down to ask for
guidance and utter our intentions.

The most anticipated day has come. November 16, 2013 marked the 18th birthday
of my daughter.

As we shared a momentous night in her life, we offered a prayer to ask for the
Holy Spirit to come upon us and bowed our heads in God's divine presence.

Claire Dave Ellis

The opening prayer was delivered by:

Claire Dave Ellis Magos, younger cousin of our debutante, currently in 7th Grade
at La Immaculada Concepcion School. Their closeness goes beyond being cousins
because Lizette treats her like a baby sister.

THE OPENING PRAYER

"GOD of all creation, worthy of our praise, we are grateful for Your presence in
this evening’s celebration of life. We thank You for this opportunity in bringing us
together and share a glorious event that marks the 18th birthday of LIZETTE.

Oh Heavenly Father, You are the source of all our strength. May you bestow upon
us Your Divine Grace. May You bring forth success in this night’s activities and
guide us as we partake in this festive occasion.

All of us here tonight share the same prayer for LIZETTE, that she may achieve
her dreams and aspirations in life. That God will grant her the realization of her
heart’s desires and blessed her with abundance... may it be financial or spiritual.

May our Loving and Generous God, offer her the virtue of kindness, patience,
honesty, understanding, perseverance and all the goodness that may be pleasing to
others and most especially, to Your holiness.

We thank You for giving her 18 years of blissful yet challenging years. As she
enters another fruitful phase in life, guide her way leading to the righteous path and
protect her against imperfections that may hinder success and true happiness.

We praise You, Lord for surrounding her with love from family, relatives and
friends. Their presence in her life makes the person she is now. They are the wind
beneath her wings. They will always be there to support and direct her journey
through life.

Tonight, we ask for Your ever gracious hand to bless every gift to be offered and
sanctify every wish to be uttered.

Almighty God, fill our hearts with Your love, faithfulness and mercy as we gather
in Your Name and bless the meal that we will share in this joyful evening.
We entrust all our prayers unto You in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
AMEN."
