Spanish food and Karaoke Birthday Party

Julio Cesar from Spain was born 34 years ago today. He and Anna (also from Spain) made Spanish salad (potato, pepper, tomato, etc.) and pan fried chicken drumsticks for everyone. We congregated before 8:30pm, and then moved to the karaoke room about 20 minutes later. Yazawa-sensei and Nohata-sensei came with a box of snacks as a gift for Julio Cesar, but in reality for everyone to eat. Noborizato-sensei came later (probably around 9:10 or 9:15pm), after the other two teachers had left (at 9pm), because she went to have Korean food with four Korean from our six-month program. It means all three teachers from our six-month program came! I think it was amazing for these teachers to stay so late to come to a participant's birthday party. It definitely shows Julio Cesar's charm. He is popular with everyone with his boyish, boshy yet very "gentleman" manners.

We karaoked like crazy and group-sang two or three songs. The funnies one was Celine Dion's "My Heart will go on" because most of us who sang along also acted out each word. Two other songs were "Can't take my eyes off of you" and "Dancing Queen." I had originally reserved the karaoke room to sing by myself from 7pm to 9pm, without knowing the birthday party. After I found out today, I still began to sing at 7pm and invited some others.
