Apr 27, '08 11:43 PM

*si madam auring daw,hehe. She can comfortably ride in a motorcycle now, when she don't dare do then, at ng matuto na, aba! ayaw ng mgalakad. Hatid-sundo na siya lagi wherever she goes.
* tulog ang fave habit niya. She wakes up early pero namn maya-maya makita mo nakahiga sa sofa. Sabi ko nga dapat pagawan talaga siya ng daybed at laging inaantok. Ang irony niyan, lagi siyang nakahiga, pero laging puyat.
* Eeeew! first time niya nakatikim ng talaba. at hindi daw niya feel.
* sa Garin farm. Mahilig sila mag-pose ng man in her life niya,hehe
* five years ago ng christening ni Jewel. Mommy's all time favorite is ice cream as in. Kaya super disappointed siya ng akala niya 'yong mashed potato ng KFC ay ice cream.
* pic was during our wedding, but this invi card, was ek-ek lang nong 37th wedding anniversary nila, which coincides with my father's b-day and our annual barangay fiesta.
* sa mantulang river. Nahawaan ko na sila ng pagka-addict sa pictures
* after we had dinner na ayaw naman talaga nila pumayag ng una.
* sa villa beach, we strolled tapos headed for videoke. Diyan sila talaga magkakasundo na dalawa at they both love to sing. As in kinalakihan na namin ang videoke, from VHS, CD, and now the coin operated machine.
* Last Christmas when we went to the beach. The good thing that came with their aging, mas mahilig na sila gumala ngayon that we are such a big family na. At nakakatuwa na i could see them really  happy, and after all these years, sila pa rin ang taya sa family outing,hehe.
* dinner at SM city. Exact opposite sila pagdating sa mga food. For one, mommy can't cook. It is father who goes to the market and cook.

I cannot say that while growing up to be so close with my mom. Maybe because of the fact that i had many siblings and there are just too many of us to whom she'll divide her attention to.
But after i graduated from college and the year before i got married, we had many bonding moments. We would have our endless chats, and she already rely with me on many things. She was so hooked of the first edition of PBB that we would both sleep late while chatting.
When i finally left home for good to stay with my new family, it was the time that i miss her most. No one could replace the sense of security a mother could give. There are many instances that I would dream about her in not so good situation. And my sister said she was experiencing the same. Maybe because at these point of our life, we all come to realization of just how imporatant our parents role in our life. We just dread the day that they will have to leave us.
But I do hope that it will still be many years from now. We still want to cherish the times we could spend together especially that most of us are living away from them. Yah, my wish for her is to have a long and healthy life.
Siyempre pa, my father prepared a liitle celebration for her. Ganon talaga sila, sabi ko nga kay Crissy, sweet di ba. We never had luxuries to celebrate our birthdays, anniversaries, or anything for that matter. But as what my sis says, I can't really have it all. Oh well, to be fair with Crissy he also makes-up for all of that.
Happy Birthday to mommy namin ni pau,hehehe...who fondly calls me now, RIS-SING...
