the golden mom

Today, we celebrated my Mom's 50th birthday here at home. The preparation started as early as yesterday, as I have said in my earlier post. Mom even rent a karaoke machine - her dream celebration since she thought of it.

FYI, my mom and my grandmother (her mom) have the same birthday, so it's like a double celebration. Plus, it is also a post-celebration of my high school graduation, and mom's passing the board exam for nursing... so, to compute it, it's quadruple celebration. This was the celebration promised when we didn't make any celeb for my graduation last March, and when Mom passed the exam.


The cake. Actually, it's a gift from someone.


The real celebrants: my Mom and my grandmother - both in Red.


My Mom blowing the 2 small candles.


Only Dad and I were present for today's celebration. My brother and sister might come this coming weekend since they have work. It might be just another celebration!


The early birds had the opportunity to be part of the group picture. Hahaha. The three persons at the right-most are my cousins. They would be going to Manila today. And I think, at this time, they should have arrived.


The theme of this celebration is basically having karaoke. It's my Mom's favorite thing to do, especially in celebrations like these, so there. Some of her former officemates and classmates in nursing came. My cute little cousins also came. (I'm about to upload a cute slideshow of them.) My Dad's friends also came, all the way from Goa. And up until this moment, I can hear them singing, specifically singing "Hero".

What a fun day. Even though I don't have a gift for my Mom, I still am grateful for this celebration. I know I'm gonna give her someday! Hahaha!
