my mother had one of her grandest birthday at home yet again. it was also a combined birthday celebration of two other mothers in my family, my grandmother & my sister. the videoke had been setup since morning so we were awoken by the blaring music & cousins, helpers, cooks, singing their hearts out. the bounteous food mom prepared could feed everyone in our neighborhood & limitless wine was served in the late evening w/c resulted to tipsy & silly guests (including us hehe) w/c gradually sprung random whiners...este, 'songers', who hid their talents too long (w/c i wished they just kept hidden ahehee).
icecream for everyone!
