ninety.
that's how old my apong baket turned on friday.
that's what we celebrated with a massive party today (saturday).
it was a surprise. like, seriously. she had NO idea.
we've been planning this fete for a month...sometimes right in front of her (it helps that she doesn't really understand english, heh).
we felt bad because by thursday she was wondering why no one was planning something to celebrate 90 because hey, 90 is quite a big deal.
she wanted a big gathering on friday/saturday...but no...we were all "busy"...with work...practicing dances for a "party in sacramento"
our guess at her reaction: surprise...get mad...playfully hit someone for lying to her (because she was calling EVERYONE to come hang out for her birthday)...CRY.
actual reaction: surprise...get mad...playfully hit someone for lying to her...no crying. oh well, hehe.
turned out pretty well. 189 guests...140something RSVP'd...expected about 150. PACKED.
and although it didn't run as smoothly as we wanted (when does it ever?)...i think it went well.
lots of dancing...yummy food...family/"family" reunion (cuz when you're filipino...everyone is family...pretty much)
happy birthday apong, may you live many more years to come <3
