my mom..

My mama is now a retired elementary school teacher in Caloocan, Manila..(welcome to papa's club, ma!) She's a good teacher, caregiver (hehe,peace) and when she's your mom make sure that the house is always clean, free from mess or clutters or else! (that's her hobby,cleaning the house..=).. When i was young, i always thought of her like a MOM (in all sense of the word.) Like she would help you in your assignments, scold and spank you whenever you did something wrong..and here's something I will never forget. Whenever we're going to a party,before we leave the house there is this "briefing". She would always say," magbehave s party, wag kukuha ng pagkain na hindi kayang ubusin ha". and whenever i would see that "famous big eyes" of her that means you have to behave now.(tsk,tsk,how i miss those days!) For us sisters, thats her trademark--that's MAMA.

My mom is also a FASHIONISTA!!(as in super!). When we are still young before going to a party, its a requirement for her to have new set of clothes..NEVER will she allow herself be left behind in a crowd of party peeps.(hehe,fashionista ng bonggang bongga si mudra) Kaya kme din mga daugthers dapat gnon din.. When its Christmas, mama would always have our dresses made..Mind you, it must of the SAME cut, SAME style only different colors..(para tuloy kme naglalakad na triplets) Its was only when i was on my 5th grade that i was able to get out of the "TRADITION"..(thank heavens,hehe) And whenever there is somthing that she wanted us to wear that we really dont like,(kasi galing pa talaga s mahiwagang baul nya,peace mom!), she would always tell us," oi e2ng mga damit ko, lagi to nasa uso..ang mga damit naman pabalik balik lng ng style. Tinahi pa to ni nanay (our grandma). akala nyo ung mga damit ko pangit,lagi akong sunod s uso noon!??" yah right mama..=) that was then,hehehe. Pero totoo nmn nga, kc lagi sinasabi ng mga tita ko na si mama nung dalaga pa,laging nka uso and lahat color coordinated..I think that's why now, just dont want to admit it but im also like her.. (late bloomer on a lotta things!)

Mama also loves baking and making "kakanin". She makes the best leche plan and cakes! Sabi ni papa nung maliit pa ako, pag ginusto ko ng leche plan,gagawa agad si mama.(hehe spoiled!) And she would always bake cakes whenever there's special occasion and will give it as gift. masarap din ung suman nya with the brown sauce!!(try nyo minsan pag mern smin,heheh) that's just bits and pieces of what she capable of doing..Wonder mom!

You know what i really admire about her, it's how dedicated she is with the family..Before, i really can't understand her..(as to what i've said, im a papa's girl)..I always blame it to generation gap, but now that I'm older, I really appreciate her more now. Especially during the times that we are so down and papa's not ok, i can see her shed tears often, but she wont give up. She's the one holding our family together..There are times that she would vent out her feelings like,"napapagod nko. lagi nlng ako sa bahay, si papa makulit hindi nakikinig" but you see, she's still there,willingly showing her love to papa and to us(khit na madalas dinadaan nya s inggay..db mga sis?!=). She's just like that, because she's a mother and a wife.. Take good care of yourself ma coz we really need you..Don't worry ma, everything you do,we may not be vocal about it be we really APPRECIATE you. . .=)
