On Mother’s Day … Isang Pahabol!

Butterflies in My Tummy (Photo Credit: 123rf)

My heart skipped faster than normal. It was as if butterflies occupied my stomach while my knees grew feeble and began to shake. Somehow, I managed to answer “Okay” with a clear and convincing voice. I just have to. But deep down that young soul’s heart, I was so nervous and scared – of mumbling over, of standing in front of a crowd, and of many possible things to happen. But my memory of what…

Deskripsyon ng aking INA

Multitasked Mom (Photo Credit: Thepolkadotshoes.blogspot).

Marami nga sigurong description ang salitang INA,Mama, Mother or Mommy. Pero para sa aking pansariling description ito ang aking INA. 1. TEACHER – maraming tao ang handang bigyan tayo ng aral sa buhay, pero ang aking ina ang numero unong guro ng buhay ko. Siya ang unang nagturo sa akin na dumapa, pumalakpak, unang nagturo na magsalita, nagturong tumawa, nagturong maglakad,  nagturong sumulat, nagturong sumayaw at kumanta, nagturong mangarap at nagturong lumipad upang abutin ang…

The Woman Named Nita

Who she was and what she is at present are the only detailed part I know. Her family background and her ways of life beyond that time was what I’ve collected from my memory. I was trying to remember every bit of it as being told to me by the people who knew her and was with her most during the earlier time of her life. I gathered all the information about her life and…

Noong ako ay highschool pa lamang, kinaiinisan ko sa lahat at ikinahihiya ang aking ina dahil wala siya sa ayos o hindi nag-aayos, walang matinong damit, at sobra niyang higpit at sobra kung makaasikaso, pagkatapos ng eskwela dapat deretso sa bahay, mag-aral nang mabuti–yan ang lagi nyang litanya sa bawat oras ng aking buhay noon. Noong meron kaming programa sa paaralan ay chaperon si nanay. Minsan ay nahihiya ako sa aking mga ka-eskwela dahil ang…

Happy Mother’s Day, Ma!

In Loving memory of Mom (Photo Credit: Zazzle)

“Saan ka ba galing, bakit ngayon ka lang?” nag-aalalang bungad ng nanay ko paglabas niya ng bahay. “Galit na galit si papa mo, ayaw ka niya papasukin” dugtong ng nanay ko. Ginabi na naman ako ng uwi noon, lagpas “zero hour” na, zero hour ang term ng tatay ko pag alas dose na ng madaling araw. Pag wala ka pa bago mag zero hour, lagot ka. Hindi ko na matandaan kung saang okasyon ako nanggaling…

I Love My Mom

030120122219

3:29 am and I’m still awake… Just thinking ’bout my Mama Ruth; I just realized how much she really loves us. I was  already in HS, but I still didn’t know how to cook and iron clothes/uniforms.  She’s always there to do those things for us.  Everytime she comes home from the market, she had  little things for us.  I was already in college,and still she’s the one who presses  my uniform, and sometimes she’ll…

Ina Nasaan Ka?

Father and Son (Photo credit: Flickr)

Lumaki akong wala ka sa piling ko. Nasanay na Ama ko lang  ang laging nakikita ko. Wala ka sa tabi ko kapag natutulog ako. Kasi nasa tabi ka ng ibang bata na tulad ko. Wala ka na nagtitimpla ng gatas ko. Kasi abala ka sa pagtitimpla ng gatas ng anak ng ibang tao. Natuto akong tumayo at maglakad at wala ka na umaalalay sa tuwing matutumba ako. Wala ka na magbabangon sa ’kin kapag nadadapa…

The One I Run To

Sa kawalan siguro ng gagawin kaya naisipan kong kutkutin ang rubber shoes ko na  nakatapak ng chewing gum sa tiles ng isang mall. Kulay black na nga ito, at malayo sa dating kulay na hinala ko ay green. Ang tagal kasi ng hinihintay ko. Abala siya sa pagpili ng damit sa isang clothing line, at tulad yata ng lahat ng babae, ‘di sila makukuntento hangga’t hindi nakakabisado ang bawat tahi at bawat hibla ng tela…

Letter to My Son

Yes, I know I am overreacting. But I can’t help it! I love you so much and I want all the best for you. I am your mother and at the same time, your father. It’s crazy being a single mom you know.  I have to pamper you like a mother and scold you like a father. It’s funny I have to teach you how to pee while standing up. But having you, my dear, is…

The Strange Leaf

A Leaf (Photo Credit : Wink)

I always wanted to be a leaf, not literally, but because  the idea of having a tree or a home that would never let me go and would protect me from the wind that desire my fall. Having been raised in a complicated family status, I have to build up a flexible personality that would help me fit in any situation. Being the eldest with two younger sisters, I just woke up one day in…
