Birthdays and stuff - Saturday

It's my niece Meg's ninth birthday! I can't believe how time flew. I seem to remember when she was just a tiny thing in a cradle and now she's juggling two boyfriends. Ah well...
I went to both Taft and RCBC campuses to get reviewers for my Written Comprehensive Exam this term (and if anyone is reading this, please, please pray for me!).
I dropped by landmark to buy gifts for Meg and Mama. I got Meg a Bratz outfit for her Cloe doll and bought a white embroidered sleveless blouse for Mom. Meg loved her gift but the blouse is a size smaller than what Mom wears (Piya is now a proud owner of a new top). I promised to get her a new one with the correct size and we proceeded to get ready for the night swimming outing Meg dreamed up.
We went to Hacienda R (our usual swimming place). Meg, Cae and Kuya Alex jumped right in, while my sisters and I wore down the videoke machine. I lost my temper after the machine ate up 4 songs worth without playing my request (Adrienne by The Calling) and spent the next hour doing up my nails in valentine red.
We ate dinner (grilled chops and Max's fried chicken) when my brother and his wife arrived. After clearing up the dishes, Mom jumped in the pool, Dad slept, while I dragged my grandma to where my siblings were revving up the crowd with their videoke winning pieces. Well, not exactly a crowd, but two or three people came up to watch whenever it's my brother's turn to sing. We just goofed around, dancing gracelessly and generally being squids.
We packed up sometime midnight and had a few snapshots taken (which i hope i'd have time to post in my webpage).
