My sister's 18th birthday

4th of July.

My mother and I made the usual spaghetti and salad the night before. Since my sister had choir practices everyday until about 8 PM, we assumed the only visitors we'll have would be my aunt and cousins who are also our neighbors. When my father came home, he told me that about five of my sister's classmates would come, but still after her practice. I cooked just enough rice for us and five more. Then my mother came from work and told me there were only three. She said we'd have too much leftovers. It was already about 7 PM. Mother asked my sister thru text how many exactly would come. Then we waited for her answer.

Earlier, my father ordered one lechon manok and two packs of chopsuey. He brought one pack to my aunt, but she only took some and returned everything else. She said they have enough and that we might still need it for the visitors.

Then came my sister's answer. She was sort of asking for permission to bring in some of her choir mates. Of course my mother couldn't refuse.

15. That was way more than we prepared for. We hoped we wouldn't run out of food. My aunt was right. It was good that mother cooked a lot of spaghetti, that would make up for the shortage of rice. We couldn't cook more because it was already 8 PM and they were coming. We still have to prepare the utensils and everything.

And so they came.

And it was a riot. Our little home got a little too crowded. I mean, I was thinking, how are they going to eat? :-D

We had the privilege to hear them lead in prayer. Then they ate and amazingly went through it without any trouble. We had no leftovers =p. But this group is pretty loud. After eating, they spent most of their energy having fun, talking, kicking and of course performing.

They sang four more songs for us including Go the distance and Tong4x pakitong-kitong. I couldn't believe we were having a mini concert in our house! How I wished I had a video cam.

My sister, pretty in pink.

The choir going home.

In case you were wondering, this is the University of Mindanao Chorale.

Concerto

I want to watch this Cinemalaya 2008 finalist. Setting: Davao City. Nice. We should make more movies set in Davao City. I believe we have a very interesting history. =) Dig up those stories filmmakers!





Concerto is about how, in the last part of World War II, a special piano concert is held in the forests of Davao. In these boondocks, a displaced Filipino family becomes acquainted with a group of Japanese officers, similarly camped nearby. Based on true stories from the director's family, Concerto celebrates a family whose reverence for life, expressed through their love of music and friendship, can survive even war, and shows how beauty and compassion can grow in even the harshest of conditions.

internet love song

Here I go again with my youtube post.

But this kid really inspired me. Can i have a ukulele? I might be better with it than a normal 6-string guitar (considering finger-height-guitar-size proportionality hehehe).

This is an original composition of Tom Milson, a teenager from the UK. It's a folk song, a "modern" one. I like folk songs! I didn't know we could make lyrics out of
"BRB, OMG, LOL.
ROFLMAO"
lol
