My daughter celebrated her birthday last Sunday. This is the reason why I am too late to response with my last discussion dear friends and mylotters. Okay, a dearest friend (a mylotter) says she will come late due to a very valid reason. She said, she will come around between 12 midnight or 1am (that's fine as long as she can make it) Mind you guys, she comes first That was really great and what a surprise. The last visitor who arrived is my daughter's bestfriend. She arrived past midnight after their family reunion (she's really great) Did you ever arrived late in attending a dear friend/family/loved ones party? jaiho®- back to mylotting :p 1-17-2012 7:21am Tuesday PT

Hi jai Belated Happy Birthday to your daughter! So far I have never attended late. Most of the time I come when there were a lot of visitors already. But there were also instances that we arrived earlier too. But being late in events sometimes are unavoidable as sometimes people will come from work or any other special occasion. It's just so good to know that even when they are busy they still managed to come - like your daughter's bestfriend. Hope she still have some nice foods to eat.

hello en Thanks a lot for the greetings dear. If you are just around the neighborhood (near place) I am sure you are one of the early wishers. But, its fine, I know one day we will met in person My daughter's bestfriend said it from the start. She did call that she will be arriving late since they'll be having a family reunion that day too. She only ask for a dessert which she loves a lot (a nutty jel-o) and i did saved some for her

HI sis!! I wish belated happy birthday to your daughter!! If I give my final word that I am sure be there, then I get there first or last is does not matter. Same to others. When we inviting others it's fine if they get here earlier or the last as long as they come to the party. Unless when I said that I am not sure or I can't come that's mean I surely will not be there~(^^)

hello sis, That's the best thing to do. Whether late or early, if we said yes...and yes, as long as we did attend and show up that matters most. I do same thing, if I know I really cannot make it, I won't make any compromises. I would rather say politely NO- than making the host hope for my presence. :)

One thing I hate is when they invite us just a day before the event. For any invitation I will only consider if they asked a few days ahead. But now I am not in 'accepting invitation' mood so no invitation for me!!!(^^)

I have arrived late due to other plans, but I have never been as late as your last quest did. I am glad that she told you around what time to expect her. We would have probably been in bed at that time. LOL.

hello Mary, Usually when my friends are not busy, we will be having fun till 2am (the most) But since they're busy and it's working day the following day, that is why they need to go home before midnight. I also arrived late few times (not all the time )

Hi Jaiho, We usually have gatherings/parties during the day time, especially for family as most of them have to travel a good distance. But, we have had parties with neighbors that would last into the night. I would say most of them were gone by midnight and a few might stay till 1 a.m.

My family lives far from me too dear. It takes 7 hours travel so,it's not possible for them to attend every occasion - unless special one. But,we always held a yearly reunion and, yes, that's full of fun (so much)

I have arrived late sometimes. But never to late. I have to say that the party you're talking about is a real late party. Midnight seems real late to me.

hello inertia, The last visitors leave around 11pm. But my daughter's bestfriend arrived almost 12 midnight. It's fine since I am still cleaning up all the mess that time and we are expecting her since she did tell she will be late due to their family reunion same day.

I did not still attend a function very late becuase I used to schedule my time for such things If it is not possible to go to the function due to some caring reasons then I used to not attend it. Why should I do it ? I think this will surely disturb you and I doesn't love to do it

The birthday party of your daughter was obviously successful! She must have really enjoyed it. Well the last visitor looks special to her so that made her happier I supposed. I am not an early bird because I am a busy bee so in most cases I come to parties quite late but I never go if I know it is too late and will no longer be convenient to the host.

hello salonga, I do arrived late too, and yes, that depends on the time and situation. If I know the party is over, I will not go anymore. There are circumstances that we cannot avoid then... Thanks for your comment and have a good day

Hi Jai sis, i wish your daughter have a very Happy Birthday celebration on that day. As for me, as long i had send out the invitation, i don't really mind at what time my guest going to reach my home. As long they don't reach my home when i was going to pack and want to go to sleep. Those guests that being invited, if possible need to informed me earlier that they will be coming late. So, i will be waiting for them, so it won't shocked me. There is a time, my father was inviting his friends to come to our home to celebrate his birthday. All his invited guests do came except his best friend. He didn't call nor telling anyone the reason that he will be late. So, only when my father wants to go to bed, his best friend turned up and said he had forgotten that invitation. My father was quite angry but at last had spend nearly an hour chatting with that friend.

hello dada, Thanks a lot for the wishes pa. Don't worry too much about the present, you have given enough (gifts). Yes, it is Honey who arrive first. It should be her who will come last since she's too busy that day.. But she made it first, she attend to my daughter's party before going to any of her other activities... Hugs to you and maa and thanks for the blessings

Belated happy birthday to your dear daughter! Well, as to your question, yes, there's instance that I've been late attending some but it's due to unavoidable (best used word!) matter *LOL It normally and usually happens for those. Some insisted to go late or very late for believing that "it's better late than never" *sigh.. and besides, the friend insisted too thay they should go cuz if not, they will friend no more *LOL Some were just want to go though it will be late, they just finished what they normally do in a day like... working because they didn't go on leave for whatever their reason and still the friend insisted to wait for them though it's late *LOL But I know, there's still many who opted to be an early birds. Yes, maybe those who are not working and in day-off's... their job won't be a hindrance to be late. I've been on these all... and just an advice to those who'll be late... text the friend to know that you'll still come so that the friend will provide food for you hahaha Hi Jai!

hello Lhen, You are right, being late doesn't mean we did it intentionally. There is always a good reason why it happen. Sending a message or calling the concern about our situation (being late) is enough to make them feel we are not neglecting the invitation. Yah, my daughter's bestfriend says from the start that she will be late since they're also having a family reunion that day. It's fine...she just can't say NO to my daughter and I really appreciate her effort :)

Hi Sis! Last saturday, it was my Classmate's birhtday too. I arrived late and almost every one of his visitor was totally drunk. When I spread my vision at the 4 corners of his boarding house, there I saw 1 snuggling on his side on a bench. Then, I cited some thoughts in my head "thanks God that I arrived late" otherwise, I could have my head aching the next morning and I might not be able to attend the first mass. Yes it is better late than never and that is the usual repertoire of someone close to us, whom has the tendency to avoid the leading and preparation of foods for the guess... LOL! nope, Me myself, am always used to arrive earlier to a Friend's or Family's important occasion if there were no other important things that can impede me from going. Getting enough time to bond with the ones closed to us will always be the best reason why we need to arrive earlier.

hello bro, Nice huh, you did attend the mass first (great) We did same thing. After attending the Sunday worship service I started cooking. That is why the party was set to start by 4pm. Avoid drinking...that won't give any good to your health
