Karaoke!!

On Tuesday we celebrated my grandpa's 80th birthday! Aside from the mountain of food available (lechon, "dirty" ice cream, diniguan), there was a karaoke machine available.

Now, I'm not sure what the deal is with Filipinos and karaoke, but it's pretty hilarious. Everyone wants to sing or dance to "video-karaoke," which is an Asian-based karaoke machine with random videos playing in the background. The lyrics can be wrong or misspelled in hilarious Engrish, and the videos don't have much to do with the song playing. Afterwards, the machine gives you a score, which never dips below 80%. After the party even the caterers were singing their hearts out to both English and Tagalog pop songs!

Unfortunately, our time in the Philippines is coming to a close. We will be leaving on Friday morning to jump back in time to arrive on Friday night California time, to apparently a good dose of much-needed rain! We have had so much fun here, and I wish I could have stayed longer!
