On Sept. 25, Vangie Novio celebrated her birthday (the first ever) which was held at Sinoni Restaurants Limited (Chinese Cuisine) at Zeto Court Abuja. Although it is stated there that it is Chinese! the ever Pinoy taste buds longed for Pinoy dish in which the ever delightful 'Pinoy Chef' Ana Dador obliged with Kare-kare con bagoong.
It was a night to remember. And why not? Since it was a semi-formal affair, anyone can just 'see' how 'formal' our young pinoys can get!
Caught on camera by our now known photographers, Erwin and Benjie, these pictures will be a nice token of that wondrous evening, even of that last Pinoy gathering with the beloved Msgr. Renzo. (He has now gone to Spain). The Philippine Consul-General Alex V. Lamadrid also graced the occasion.

The celebration was somehow extended - the actual birthday - Sept. 26. It was raining. But this was the night the company Dantata & Sawoe held its Team Building Party. Cultural dancers and live band were invited. It was an event which will definitely be etched in the celebrants memory - the Managing Director, Mr. Udo Heidschuster, after his boost- up speech ended up with greetings to Vangie Novio
and asked the band to sing Happy Birthday! It was indeed a gesture that will go a long way in building trust.
