It was just an ordinary day after I took a bath; I heard my mom downstairs saying:
Mom: Ang bait ng batang yan. Grabe magmahal si Apple. Sana makatagpo siya ng taong mabait rin katulad niya, ‘yung mamahalin siya.
Me: huh? (WOW bait ng image ko!)
That moment I felt my mom loves me so much.
I’m not even a perfect daughter. Just like the others, I broke some rules, commited mistakes that hurt her for sure. I got my own flaws. Well the things I did were not grievous I guess but were acceptable to moral standards. Bahala na kayo umintindi. Mabait ako yun lang yun! That’s what I always tell her and also what I believe in.
Sa sobrang bait ko, mom is considered my #1 textmate na hinde ko nirereplyan pero ok lang. She makes sure everytime I have baon on duty days – ulam, rice plus updated chicha in the market, like her own way of packaging. She’s a forever mom who wants to take care of her little kids. And yes, maybe we never grew up in her insight.
When she’s mad it really just shows! She can’t deny. Let her cool off.
She knows my crushes, no longer a big fuss after college. And now, sometimes asking me to marry! How excited that was!
I can never repay her for all the great things she’d been doing to me but there’s one thing.
Sabi nga, ang pinakamasaya sa magulang ay ang makitang masaya ang anak nila.
More than anything else, mom deserves the best!
What I’ve been doing in my life should reflect on how I wanted it just for her. I realized I need to at least look HAPPY whatever it takes, day by day so as to bring more smiles on her face!
I love you Mommy Pork! Happy Mother’s Day!
