Gift for My Mom

The special day that we offer to our moms is now very near and yet I have not thought of the gift that I will give to my mom.

You see, we did not grew up to be really close to each other because my mom works almost day and night to provide our needs. When she is not at work, she probably is at the church, which keeps her sane. We were not like the others who are really close like those who talk to their mom about their bad day. Don’t get me wrong. I am not complaining here. Honestly, I fully understand my mom. And even when we are not sort of best friends, she is one of the best moms I have known!

Back to the gift. She has plenty of clothes already as well as shoes and bags. What if I order some custom flower delivery for her? Do you think she will like that? Perhaps they could deliver it at the restaurant where we plan to celebrate the special day. Ah, maybe I will stick with that. 😉

Wanted: Helper

When I was about to give birth last year, I pleaded to Ate Meriam to come back to us to take care of Maxyn. She agreed provided she can bring with her her youngest daughter, Em. That is not a problem with us so they came back to Manila April of 2010.

When Maxyn was born, Em took care of her while I was at work. Ate Meriam on the other hand took care of the household chores. Later on, we paid Em for taking care of Maxyn. When she is not doing anything, she helps her mom with the household chores. December last year, she went home to Dipolog for a short vacation and to fix her school papers as she plans to study here in Manila. While there, she had an accident. She fell off a motorcycle which caused her a broken arm. Since then, I have asked my brother to stay with us so someone can help in the household chores as Maxyn only lets Ate Meriam or me take care of her.

To cut the story short, I knew Ate Meriam cannot do the household chores and take care of the kids at the same time. For everyone’s convenience, we hired someone who will do wash our laundry and iron them. This person is a good family friend of my husband’s family for a long time now. When she services us, they always give her extra beyond what is due. One time, I told them not to give her much as she might get used to it.

A Weekend with PMC Members

I was really hoping to blog about this as soon as we get home yesterday but I was dead-tired and my arms a hurting because of carrying my little Maxyn.

Sunday was really a good day, generally speaking. We were able to hear the mass in the morning in the chapel near us. I missed going to church and I miss the people in that chapel too! After mass, we ate lunch at home. Maxyn fell asleep and we waited for her to wake up. Hubby tinkered something with the sewing machine, something he’s been working on since Saturday night. I took the time to fix the girls’ stuff. Maybe Maxyn has some kind of ESP because when we were all finished, she woke up. 😀

Travel time to Megamall was fast but there was no parking area! I was so worried that Mon will give up and just head home. We parked in Shangri-La and just walked our way to Megamall. There, Mon and the girls searched for Ayex’s costumes for the ballet grand recital on April 16 while I went to DAD’s for the PMC Grand Eyeball.

When I arrived at DAD’s, I do not know where the moms are sitting. I asked the reception if there were reservations. I told them they were inside having lunch and they allowed me to get in. I do not know where to start to I searched the place for someone with a golden hair, Eihdra. I her standing and headed their way. These gorgeous mommies have just finished their lunch and were busy exchanging tokens and chit chats. Then I saw Peh who greeted me with Sino po kayo? May invitation po ba kayo?. Then I started receiving token from one mom to another. I got pressured and offered them a paper bag full of coin purse. It was the first time I got to meet most of them so I relied on our make-shift name tags for their names.
