Tia Meding’s 91st birthday bash

ivy

She walks with the upright posture of a queen, greeting friends and well-wishers with her warm, happy smile complete with beso-beso y abrazo. Looking elegant in her summery green gown, our birthday celebrator, Remedios “Tia Meding” Orola, certainly does not look a bit like she’s 91 – she looks 20 years younger.

The grandiose celebration at the lanai of Casa Orola began at 4 p.m. and was still going strong until evening. Lively music greeted the guests as they arrived. Her loving children, led by former Congressman John Orola, grandchildren and even great grandchildren, were all over the place attending to her old friends from way back then, and close friends of the family.

I spotted daughter Cecile Czech, who just arrived from Vienna, looking positively cosmopolitan in her bright yellow outfit. Everyone enjoyed the tasty feast meticulously prepared for the occasion, especially the roast turkey with all the trimmings. Yummy!

Tia Meding was all smiles, basking in the love and admiration of her admirers and fans. She amazed us all when she joined Robert Harland for a glass of ice-cold beer with crispy lechon! Robert was absolutely delighted! When bouncy dance music was played, she gamely took to the dance floor and did a mean cha-cha number with son, John, to the delight of the guests.

By the time we left, there were still guests arriving for the party and the dancing. On the way home, we couldn’t help but be amazed at Tia Meding’s youthful attitude in life. This lady refuses to grow old. She still enjoys everything life has to offer. What a dazzling light she is to her family and well-wishers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Tia Meding!*
