As most of you know, Mercator and A&Q’s Jonas Gaffud celebrated his nth birthday last Monday, May 26. He actually had daily celebrations since then. But it was only last night when he spent quality birthday time with the ladies and men of Aces & Queens. And the theme was a Sparty held at the cool and comfy Bluewater Day Spa in Ortigas (very near Greenhills Shopping Center). There was sumptuous food served, a private movie screening (if they so wish) and a relaxing VIP foot spa for the ladies and some of the guys who opted to have one.

I received a personal invite from Jonas himself. Sadly, something very urgent came up at the last minute and I had to go back to Paranaque right after the Mr. World Philippines event at the Glorietta 5 Atrium.
Sigh. I’m kicking myself for missing all the fun. But a dutiful son has got to do his important obligations for the family over anything else.
