Mama’s Love

My Mom’s love to her children is wordless but she acts it.  That’s what ive seen and felt since I was a little child.  She always work hard just for us her kids.  Now I realized not only us her kids to also to her kids kids.

As of now she is a bit old and it was my hope before that after her retirement she should relax and free her mind from worries and cares.  But am sad that I am part of the factors that made her unable to relax in this olden age of hers.  She still can’t fully accept that her physical strength is not much as it was when she was younger.  When am at work, she’s just mostly the one at home as my daughter is in school.  I want her to rest when we are away but she never does.  She keeps moving around the house — she just always find something to do and when she is fedup, she gets mad and her mouth does not stop from talking.

I feel she always think of me aside from the others in this house who needs care, too.  Why? Because she always take time to peep in the bedroom and see if my cloth basket is full of clothes to be washed or my wet towel is left on the bedpost, or just little things I failed to see when am in a hurry to rush for work.  She always wonder what food would I like to eat when I get home in the evening.

This evening, I came home late as I did not have plans to eat dinner because I had some snacks around 4:30 with sth that was against doctor’s orders.  I failed to call home, though.  So when I arrived home past 8 earlier they were already about to retire.  They knew am done eating coz I was bringing bread and she said (I didn’t heard but Dimple heard and she told me) “maayo pa ug wala nalang ko nag utan.”  When I heard that, I go straight to the kitchen and see what’s the food waiting and yeah– there is a boiled pechay stalk cut into two in a little water with some ginger and garlic.  Smells nice — I was so full but I don’t like to disappoint her so I ate all the green leaves.  I don’t like her to feel that what extra effort she made is not appreciated.  I showed her I appreciate it by eating the leaves.

Am so fulll now. Very full actually because of Mama’s love.

Diwali Greetings Everyone

I got several Diwali greetings from my friends in my email, and one of the pictures is the one i used above.  I started to receive this greeting by emailcards since the other year.  It was my first time to hear its name bt it was jst lightly explained that it is a famous festival oberved by hindi Indians. I can even remember my friend  Gopi told me, it is just a festival and when u see anyone, just tell him or her, and your mom and Dad —  Happy Diwali!

Later, I tried to read about it here and some other sites, i then conclude that the costumes and rituals done are similiar to the New Year being celebrated by Christians  and Eid ul-Fitr at the end of Ramadan celebrated by Islam believers. 

So to everyone,  Happy Diwali!

Food Diary

A newer page Food Diary is on.

I hope that I would be faithful in doing this elimination diet and daily coding down what i have put into my mouth.

This is the 2nd day so far and at breakfast I was really feeling nauseous. I don’t like something to bland for breakfast.  I had a bland green veges while all others around me feasted on fried fish and scrambled eggs.   Then mom commented that she thinks it is harder to do this kind of diet than the weight loss diet and I surely agree with her coz in weigh loss diet one can still eat what she wants but control on the quantity. 

Hope to be really successful in this ordeal.  I know for some this is just easy as eating peanuts.
