HAPPY MUM'S DAY!

Today is the celebration of women we look up to the most, Mother's Day! And I would like to thank these women who truly inspires me to become a better woman - not just as a mom - someday. These are the moms that are super close to my heart.


MOTHER LU


We all call her Nanay. She's my mom's mother (I wish I met my Lola on Daddy's side so I could greet her too. Happy Mothers day up there, Lola Isabel!) She's normally super sungit to other people but when it comes to us, her grand children, she always shows us a cheerful attitude - except when she's being attack by her crazy imagination, nagsusungit din siya samin. But not in a level of sungit pag sa ibang tao. I super love my grandmother. Other people may hate her because of her character but she's super different to us. I wish I could see her more often coz she's now in the province and alone at our house there. She doesn't want to live here in Manila with us. Sometimes I hate it whenever she smokes inside the house, I hate sniffing ciggs and I tend to throw up whenever I inhaled too much of it. But no complains, I love to be with her more than my kaartehan.  She also loves Ice cream and sweets! I always buy her her favorite whenever she's in the house. She shows very hard personality outside but she's super loving inside. She always nag at Tatay before and even threw him her arinola. But Tatay's too loving he understand Nanay. I miss Tatay! I remember the time they last saw each other. Nanay's leaving to go home in Aklan and Tatay will be staying in Manila because of his health condition. She runs after Nanay sa car then gave Nanay his money then said "'Day, 'day! (He calls her Inday) Mag-ingat ka palagi. Ikaw na bahala sa bahay, ha". Then out of the blue, Nanay cried. She's not like that. Normally, she'll shout and nag at my lolo but she just cried. Maybe she had that feeling that it'll be their last time to see each other. Haaay! I miss them together.

I just pray that God will bless her good health and a happy and peaceful life. She's 82 years old now but she worries a lot of things that doesn't even exist. I love you Nanay! I hope to see you soon! Come back here na in Manila.


ATE MAEH


She's my brother's wife. I love that she helped my brother to draw closer to God. She's a christian also and I am very happy to know that the first time I knew it. I say, she has a great influence why my brother is a better and kind man now. As I said on my previous post, my brother was the most cruel brother you could ever have before. But after meeting Ate Maeh, his percpective and the way he treats us changed 360 degree - I mean 180 para di na bumalik!haha. I also thank her for giving birth to our cutie baby, Amithi. Before I thought we won't see them often when my brother gets back in Malaysia, but she's super generous to us. She's the one who reaches out and sleep here in our place. I really admire Ate Maeh. I don't think I could do that to my in laws in the future. But experiencing that made me want to do it also in my future in-laws. I also admire her jolly personality. She's a woman na madadala mo kahit saan. She gets along with people well. She can even bond with my tita's better than I. 

I pray that she may have a good health. Witnessing hiw hard it is to raise a baby truly gained alot more respect for the mothers. I pray that they may enjoy there family life even though my brother's away. That they may raise Amithi as a good kid and has a fear and desires to follow and serve God.


ATE TINA


My discipler, mentor, and spirutual mother. She patiently planted the most important seed in my life, Jesus Christ. I am super blessed to witness her waiting season as a mother. They've waited patiently to God for their baby. She often cried before on our dgroup whenever she talks about waiting to have a baby. I see her as a woman of good faith, but I still feel bless whenever I see her weakness, 'coz God reveals to me His glory whenever I see poeple I look up became fragile. So now that God finally gave them what I believe they deserve, I praise the Lord for being faithful to us who continually prays for them. I know Ate will be a great mom to Royce because I experienced being taken care by her spiritually. What more pa kaya sa anak niya. I am excited! 



And lastly, the most precious woman in my life.... 

IMELDA MORIAS


My mom. I don't know what to say to this woman. All I know is that shes a wonder mom for us, her 4 kids. I seriously can't move my fingers. I don't couldn't find words to describe my hero and how my I love her. Ever since I was a kid, I was a Daddy's girl. 'Coz I thought my Mum doesn't understand me nor supports what I want - though I don't even know what I want ever since. She isn't strict to us and I feel blessed by that. Though she just let us be, I am proud that we grew up normal and not rebellious. She lets us experience life at our own risk and desicions. But she make sure that she teach us what to do and it'll be up to us if we'll take it. Sometimes people wonder why my Mum was too maluwag to us, I don't know either but I love her for that. Maybe because my Mum has a big trust in us that she taught us well and we won't do anything shits on our selves. Sometimes nagpapaalam nalang ako na may out of town trip ako that very same day and she's super cool with that.

I super love my mom! She's the most important person (after God) to me that I would want to serve and take care of for the rest of my life. She doesn't expect anything from us. Kahit piso lang ibigay namin sakaniya, she'll be very happy. And so I wanted to give her everything.. but up until now, wala pa ako masyadong nabibigay sakaniya.haha! Growing up, I felt I was the least favorite among her kids. Kasi ako lagi niyang pinapansin at pinapagalitan - or maybe I'm basicallya bad kid back then, i don't know. But now, I feel that she see's alot of potentials in me. She always say "Ikaw nalang ang pagasa kong yumaman, Krisa."  'Coz my siblings are so focused on their lovelives. Don't worry Mum!! By the grace of God, I will make that happen! We will enjoy life and travel everywhere as long as I am single and kahit mag asawa na ako! You won't mind how to budget the money for the whole month. 

God I don't even know how will I be if my Mum isn't by my side. She's a best example of Isusubo nalang niya, ibibigay niya pa samin. She sacrificed too much for us. And she supports us in everything we do. Am I the only one who loves the sound of a nagging Mum?? I don't knoe why I love it. I can't even remember when was the last time I held grudges because of her nagging. And I'm not ashamed to say na may trabaho na ko, pero nanghihingi parin ako ng pera sakaniya.haha! But in a good way. And mga small amounts lang. I don't know, I love asking small amounts from her then magrereklamo siya sakin. Feeling ko kasi bata parin ako pag nanghihingi ako sakaniya. And I feel that she also loves doing that. So ineenjoy ko din!haha

 And so I pray for her salvation. That she may have accept Jesus as her Lord and Saviour and have a personal relationship with the Lord. It'll be a joyful life to have a parents who you can lean on to spirtually! Sometime I imagine what if I grew up in a christian family. But I still wouldn't change anything if God would give me an option. I sincerely pray to God for an opportunity to share my faith to her. I love you Ma!!!


PS: I wrote this during the Mother's day, I didn't noticed that I did not published it. Whatever, it's we can always celebrate Mum's day everyday!




IN ALL THINGS,
GOD SHOULD ALWAYS BE GLORIFIED!
