My loving "Nanay" (Mother)

Today is her birthday of the age of 56 years and she grows more beautiful as she ages.

She is a housewife and a loving wife. She is a strong and protective mother. She is my wonder woman. The first woman I have ever love. She knows what her rights as a human. Don't try to mess up with her especially to her children or family, cuz whoever you are she wouldn't look you whatever profession you have...

Her father, my grandfather, died when she was 2 years old so she grew up with a single mother, my grandmother and her siblings. She didn't finish school but she acts like an educated person. She believes in God but she doesn't go to church often.

Her weaknesses is her children. Whenever one of us got hurt it would be hurt more for her. She got those mother advise forever. She is overreacting if it comes to us. She worried too much, even when I say I'm having cold right now, she would ask me too many questions like what I have been doing, if it is cold here? she would say, it maybe from aircon, or if I take already some medicine.

When I was in elementary school even until in my secondary school, every time I woke up, everything was already prepared. The breakfast, the uniform, and hot water for my shower, cuz I don’t like cold water. She spoiled us to much. She always told us to do the stuff in the house, like cleaning, washing clothes, washing dishes, but in the end, she will do it by herself. :D

She's a cool mother as well. Now that I grew up, I can talk my love life to her, like we’re best friends forever. I can have a drink with her. Lol. She likes to drink also every occasion. Probably she would be drinking today, another birthday of her for celebration :) I sent her money today and I called her on the phone to greet her a happy birthday, she was happy and thankful but she said she'll save the money for Christmas, which is just in a few days to go. They will be having a "Lechon baboy" for Christmas food :D

Happiness is seeing your Parents happy.

The photo below was taken in my place in Samar. It was fiesta that time. My mother and my father dancing together :) That was fun cuz they got those funny moves and every one of us were laughing out loud. Hahaha.

Left side are my cousins and right side I and my brother.

Seeing them having fun is a happiness for me. My mother and father were been together for 40 years now. When they lived together my mother was only 16 years old and my father was 26 years old. Their age gap is 10 years, so age is just a number :D They never been married to each other but until now they stay happily together. (That’s why I don’t really believe in marriage, it’s just a piece of paper for me) :D They never cheat on each other, well, as if they have a choice. Haha, kidding. They got 8 children included me! My gosh Haha! But at least, even life was tough and hard for them, they took care all of us until we grew up. They never gave up on us. :) That's why I am proud to say, they are both best Parents! <3

Happy Birthday Nanay, I love you forever <3
