mom's 60 plus plus plus (??)

my mom breezed through her MEGA (imagine 150 ++++ guests BUT!!! just in our home!) birthday celebration through her annual mom/lola summer trip here. and oh yes she survived through HK airport all by herself, mind you minus flight delays this time! and so we are very proud of her, a few more trips like that and we'd be ready to send her to go dora dora around the globe!

we were all looking forward to her trip and it was just the right time after our moved. and so, on her first weekend here, we decided that it's time that we open our new home to a handful of our relatives here and also celebrate mom's birthday. yes people, we have finally emptied out all the boxes, bought every single furniture and appliance that we need, and we have officially moved. oh yes, update your records my friends!

true to tradition, we let the bday celebrant cook for her bday. hahaha. well it also helped that a handful of our beloved suh-weeeet smelling fishes were smuggled successfully here from the philippines, and so with that in hand, we just had a few more to prepare. well make it, they had a few more to prepare.

it was a fun party and a gathering of all sorts. it's nice to finally just relax and eat at home... and then, as soon as we ushered the guests out (as we only committed to opening our house and the kitchen for lunch u know), we were ready for the real par-tei. videoke nights and jell-oh shots, bring them out!

now we sang the night away... but chase, our dear lil one learned or maybe invented a new trick. it was a videoke night but to him it was his "ingay" night. we teach this kid so many neat stuffs, like high five or gigil and our latest waving "para"... but this one, is self-learned.
