What I fear most...

As a doting mother and am sure all mothers too, will feel the same way as I do. Our fears boil down into 1 thing, that we may not live to see the day when our children head off into their journeys in life. As I have said in my previous post, we endearingly enslave ourselves to serve and take care of our own children and try all our might to veer them into the right path that leads to their future.

Though I don't care enough of having some lines and wrinkles but am sure it also matters a lot to some women...adding the salt and pepper that can be dyed to hide those added years in their lives. Who cares if we are over some hills and valleys anyway?!

Those sciatic pains and the prodrome that will soon be attacking us. To wither in mind and attitude that will only impede us mothers to serve and love our children in the future.

That's pretty scary.....

To my dearest son, Arvin Jei...

Mama wishes only the best for you...

I love you so so much!

Mother's undying love...

Saw the latest news about Marlene's predicament as a mother, and I was stunned at her statement last night [again] about her two sons, Colby and Jason, the comparison I meant. I think she has a lot more to reveal but cynics will sneer and and will still doubt about it. I am not a shrink that's why nahihirapan akong i-assess si Marlene but somehow as a mother I know that she is in pain to see Jason, and what's happening right now. But what I know is, no matter how much I love my children...hindi ko kayang i-tolerate ang ano mang gagawin nilang alam kong wala sa tama in anyone's yardstick. I've proven that already so many times...like when I was called at the office when my youngest was still at his senior high. Nagtampo siya sa akin at sinabi niya later in jest na, "ayoko na kayong papuntahin sa office kasi ilalaglag niyo lang ako" ...because I personally saw him whinging about something to his teacher and so before the deliberation steams up, I told him to be more respectful, kahit gusto ko ng sabunutan ang teacher [am sorry my bad] because she's scolding my son right at the tip of my nose. Medyo off ako don, she could have said it in a nicer way out of respect, she's a teacher kaya dapat role model siya. The reason...nakita niya anak ko at ang gf nito sa canteen together and spurted out, "oh ano kayo na naman?!"...with matching eyes rolling pa daw. I think she has no right more than the mother. And to indict a student in front of so many people while eating lunch...eh malamang ganun din ang gawin but just the same I told my son that he should not let those things get the better of him anyway.

PS/I am a stickler of punctuality more so of a lifetime good manners...[and in this world, truthfully ay napakahirap pa rin gawin] :)

Just a glimpse...

Yesterday I heard Marlene Aguilar being interviewed while I was at the kitchen doing salad minus everything, lawl, uhhhmm actually that was a left over cuke that sat inside the fridge waiting to be noticed and some croutons and fresh carrots only. I was kind of peeling the old skin of the cuke 'coz it's exactly 2 days ago since I bought it from SM fresh produce, pero d na siya fresh :) So I was there while the tv was tuned in The Buzz. I heard my favorite Boy Abunda who's so adept in doing interviews...[I missed the imaginary mirror of Boy]. It could have been a bit meaty if only Kris had said a lot of her mind about the matter. I understand Kris now for zipping rather than zapping. Mahirap yun for someone as eloquent and as articulate as Kris. I would love to hear that part sana. I love KA that way, absolutely frank and candid. She really loves Noynoy that's why she's holding back a little. She's very eloquent and it's a hard try dodging some nice debatable topic like that of Marlene and Jason's predicament. She just said that the mother or all mothers [?] will never stop loving their children. Period agad and nothing else, kaya bitin. Now why do I post this topic? Well, I've notice kasi, that Marlene always bring the issue about her being a writer. If that is true, well I am a bookworm and I can't possibly live my life or let me rephrase it better...I can't imagine myself without a book at my side, or in my bed. I really am a book fiend and no one at home can contest that part. So I can truly say that in my years of frequent visits to browse/look for good reads at NBS, I never saw her book until now, not even at Filbar's where I always in the hunt of resales and discounted books. So she's a writer , and not only yesterday did I notice that in her interviews the topic always segue from Jason to her being a writer, her being the wife of blah, about the US blah, about the lover blah. Watch this link. My God, Jason's life and future is at stake here because he is a suspected killer, [who's been wounded in a recent raid...] and it's quite annoying whenever the topic veers away from Jason. She's there to speak about how Jason is as a son and how she brought up Jason and what pushed Jason to go wild and fought with frenzied rage during the raid. She also mentioned "if you are a ranger, sira ka na lang kung..." more or less we know what follows here or whatever she wants to convey. Eh talaga namang pag sinabing ranger ka di ba? It means a lot because to be one, you'll have to go through a lot of challenging trainings on surprise attacks among other things. And it holds true, he did give them [NBI] a ten minute fight. And according to news, Jason even shouted Kill me! Kill me! Going back she also said..."Aguilar ako"...for me it's something na parang off but what's in a name? Of course everyone should love their names, like ako Aquino rin ako pero am not bragging kasi there's nothing naman for me to brag in the first place. Am just an ordinary person. Buti sana kung si Kris Aquino pa ko. But Kris never naman say na Aquino siya with some air of being cocky or whatever. Correction...I never said anyone is cocky. The thing is, what's more important is to live in such a way that you'll never become a nuisance or rather you choose to be a blessing instead to everybody or sa society...but that's next to impossible naman talaga. So that leaves us not to try to do things that will only put us in bad light or just go off the deep end heedlessly. For we are the lone accountable and or responsible in every action we will make or do.

Being a mother takes a lot of pain. Like me for example, I chose to quit my studies because of my two kids then. That's the turning point in my young life as a mother. I wanted to be a teacher, I was in my 3rd year college when my eldest asked me to stay at home. That they wanted me to be the first person who would greet them when they arrived from school. So out of great love I did quit schooling. They're growing and I wanted to be with them the whole time. Their growing years are most important. They'll carry those lessons they learn each day until they grow old. They must figure out what is right and what is wrong. And we mothers are one of the guiding posts. Now that they are all grown ups...I can truly say that I am blest. I am blest because now I can see them the way I wanted them to be...to be a better person...they might not be the very best, but they are not someone who'd be considered as worse. But because they are my kids...for me they are the best. Like Marlene, Jason will forever be beautiful in her eyes, just like what she said in the interview. I don't condemn Marlene for loving too much...but in all honesty as a mother...may kulang, may mali somewhere...and she has to find it. She has to make up for that, she has to deal with that if she really loves Jason that much, because something is searing Jason emotionally.
And I do believe that if ever the court will be able to point their accusing fingers on Jason, without a whiff of doubt, then Marlene will have to eat her words...saying wala siyang dapat ipanghingi ng sorry kahit kanino. Well..still, the court will decide on this matter with the help of the evidences submitted against Jason. The latest is about the slugs that killed Ebarle Jr. Let's see what's next.

PS/Bakit ba dito sa Pinas if we ask some professional advice of a shrink, they'd assume na may topak na tayo or tililing? Ako if only I have some extra money in my pocket I would love to visit one.

Remembering mother's love...

I love being a mother. I am more aware and see things in a different level. I feel that I have more of everything to share now...more strength, more energy, and most of all more love to fill [or feel]...and so,

if only I could hear her lovely voice...and be able to touch her wrinkled hands...think...I should weep for joy now.

Cutting on some expenditures...

So hard these days. Lalo na't it seems that everything's skyrocketing, the gas prices are inevitably changing always jacking up, needless to say the rice also, tila kahit sino wanted to avail the Bigas ng Bayan or the NFA. Same goes with poultry and meat, then vegies na tila ibinabad nga sa formalin dahil kasing titigas ng bato gaya ng tomatoes. I still wonder kung totoo ito or what, if it is...shucks...and who doesn't want to hurl invectives sa taong involved dito? Di ba sa patay yon. Whoah...not nice indeed. Mahihiya tayo sa Japan na napaka fresh lahat ng produce nila grabe. Now the Meralco is in hot seat right now. Even Juday who happen to have this Meralco commercials regarding the charges they are collecting and blah blah's. Urging for boycott against the actress I heard of last night, whatever. Now housewives are getting into mess how to divide their meager allowance for these expenses. Like us, we are just renting a "bigger house" for a whopping P1-,000.00 a month...katchang katchang sabi nga ni Tack. Plus the monthly water bills, Smartbro, telephone lines which happen to be two (one landline and one wireless) gusto ko ng ipaputol yung 1 dahil may mga CP naman...grabe...nakakaloka ang pagba-budget hah! Last few days we experienced the sobrang init sa tanghali...grabe...in a way natuwa pa ako dahil yung cord ng aircon sa room ko ay short ng 10 inches sa outlet...hahaha...buti nga dahil it helps in costcutting. May abaniko naman di ba? Why not?!
Pasukan na naman and dapat laging handa ang food ng mga bata dahil ang breakfast ang pinakamahalagang meal dahil it opens the day and we have to fuel our body and the mind as well. Pag gutom ang bata di sila makapag-iisip ng tama. So, mothers should know some tipid na meal para sa breakfast. Here's one:
Fast omelet
Beat eggs then add milk...housewives know for sure how to measure I guess. Like if you have about 4 eggs, 1/3 cup of milk will do best...bahala na kayo, masarap kasi pag medyo moist ang omelet. Then in a pan, put a slice of butter and too much heating is not needed here, just add the beaten eggs. Add pepper and salt according to your desire. Gently mix it and do not overcook. You can serve this with hotdogs or longganisa and steamed rice. Voila...may breakfast na ang mga bata. Ako I enjoy cooking for may kids...kahit marunong na sila, still mas gusto nila ang preparation ng mga nanay nila di ba? Always a treat... :)

Hot, hot news!

Bye...bye...I'm sleepy already. I need to sack out!

Nodding off and on...

Will rest first...tired and sleepy na...and to all mothers like me....HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Keep the faith...!!!

Happy Mother's day...!

Anna Jarvis began to campaign for a nationwide observance of MOTHER'S DAY. And began the custom of wearing a carnation.
*colored carnation-when mother's still living
*white carnation-when mother's dead
In US, the 2nd Sunday of May honors motherhood.
Also, Mother Carey is changed to Mater Cara which means Tender Mother or Dear Mother, an expression of Levantine sailors. This refers to Virgin Mary so they called petrels "Mother Carey's Chicken"......the entire expression meant "snow", referring to the white of petrels feathers. Petrel is a small sea bird or any one of various other petrels that fly far out to sea.
