DATE WITH MY MOM
I felt the holy week just today. I guess, I must’a say that it is a holy day for me. Eniweiz, it wasn’t supposed to happen at first because Ma’am Jinky, one of the professors I am working with in the research, texted me last night asking if I could come to her house today at 2pm. Since I have already set this day with my mom I declined and told her that I couldn’t because it’s family day. There…kailangan ko lang mag-assert ng onti just to make this day free.
My day with my mom started of with attending a mass at Baclaran church (small letter ang church coz it refers to a structure). For the first time after so many months/years (I really can’t remember when was the last time I attended a mass), I went to church and actually attended and finished the mass. Yippee!!!! Clapclapclap!!! Thumbs up for me! I was sorta sleepy and making hikab every now and then. Then suddenly, the sermon of the priest just hit me. It was an enlightening and interesting one as well. there was this feeling that father was an aktibista and well-informed of what is happening in the government and in the US-Iraq War. fun, fun, fun! I never heard a sermon like that in my entire life even during the mass in my previous catholic school. Oh diba, outspoken si father. He’s not afraid that people would react violently against what he was saying kanina. as a whole, my church day was inspiring and it answered some of my questions and removed my hesitations.
After going to church, my mom and I went to Ayala. YIPEE!!!! Its Shopping time for me! We searched and searched relentlessly for the perfect dresses that I am gonna wear in the recognition and commencement exercises. I texted my dad first in order to inform him of the budget for my recog and grad shopping galore. Syempre dapat may go signal niya ang aking paggastos ng malaki so I could have an assurance na may reimbursement if sumobra sa budget ko. Hehehehe! Ganun talaga ‘pag wala pang trabaho. I first bought my recog dress upon the approval of my mom. My mom was like the one shopping for me kanina and continuously giving me dresses and super plunging neckline (hello! Siya may boobs ako wala!) that I couldn’t wear. She was kinda insisting me to buy those kind of clothes. Gusto daw niya akong makitang girlie and stuff. Okay lang naman sa akin. The problem is, baka di ako makarating ng buhay sa pupuntahan ko. Next stop, we bought my grad dress which is one of my best bargain ever. It cost a thousand bucks but it was for 50% sale. Yipee! See, patience lang yan and dapat aggressive. We next searched for the perfect shoes ( I will have another blog for this). Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find it. napagsarhan na kami ng mall.(I was surprised that the mall in ayal closes at 8pm, ang aga naman) kaya we went home na. oh by the way, we had dinner pala in one of our favorite restos, it was nice.
Overall, I had a great time. its been decades since my mom and I bonded and went out together. But syempre, there are still parts of my life/thoughts/experiences (many of them) that I couldn’t share with her. Not just now coz I know she’ll never understand.
