Punchlines ng Lola

(waaaah! i received this as an email from one of my long lost high school classmate, i can't get over it! hahahaha!)


"Bakit ba pati ako, binibigyan nyo ng malisya? Ano ba ang kasalanan
ko?!" Talong

"Hindi lahat ng malakas, super hero!" Putok

"Paano tayo makakabuo kung hindi ako papatong sa iyo?" Lego

"Halika, bigyan mo pa ako ng init. Kailangan kong pumutok para ako'y
iyong matikman at ika'y masarapan. Ayan na! Puputok na! Humanda ka!"

"Kahit papaano, gusto ko din ng exposure!" Singit

"Hindi ko hinahangad na ipagmalaki mo na ako'y sa iyo. Ayoko lang
naman na sa harap ng maraming tao, ganun mo na lang ako itanggi!" Utot

"Hindi lahat ng hinog ay matamis!" Pigsa

"Kapag ang katawan mo'y nag-iinit, lagi na lang ako ang hinahanap mo.
Maya't maya mo akong ginagamit at pinapagod. Hindi ka na naawa!" Aircon

"Pagod na akong humawak ng balls mo! Pagod narin ako sa
pagbihis-hubad mo sa akin. Malapit na naman ulit! Ayoko na!!!"

HAVE YOU WATCHED THEM SLEEP?

“Have you ever watched your parents while they were asleep?



Your father’s body, once big and strong

but now the big is withered and the strong is weaker.

Wisps of grey peek out from his hair,

wrinkles now “scar” his forehead and face.

“This man works hard every day and would sacrifice anything

to make sure his family is provided for

and his children get the best education possible.


“Or how about your mother, whose soft hands once cuddled

and held you close when you were a baby?

Now, those hands are dry and rough,

bearing evidence of the challenges she faced just for us.

“This woman takes care of our daily needs,

constantly nagging and scolding us because of her love for us.

But sadly, we often misconstrue her love as control and unfairness.”


I have never thought of watching my parents while they slept.

I’ve watched my cousins sleep when they were babies,

all round and cuddly and sweet smelling.

But watch my parents? No way!

But after reading this message,

I realized that there was indeed much truth in it.

In fact, my parents do not have to be asleep for me to realize that they have aged..

Just looking at my mother walk tells me that her legs are not as strong as they were before.

Or hearing her ask me for help with that flowerpot in the garden,

the one she used to be able to push and drag around the garden without my help.

Or watching my dad lift a 10kg bag of rice.

I can easily carry that bag now. I am young. But to him, it is a struggle.

What do all these observations tell me?

Yes, my parents have aged. They are ageing, just as I am ageing.

But as I age towards my best years and become stronger,

they in turn are becoming weaker.



They were once the caregivers and I the receiver.

In time, I know our roles will reverse. Like it or not, want it to or not, this is life.

I suppose I have always subconsciously thought that my parents would always be with me,

never growing old. It took that message to make me realize that my parents are not immortal.

That they too, will one day leave the world and me.

Until then, I will make good use of our time together.

Mother and Daughter Day

My mom and I had a bonding moment again last week and saw a movie together and take note...we saw Sarah and John Lloyd's movie "You Changed My Life..." and I'm really happy that she enjoyed it. After watching the movie, we ate at KFC and I'm amazed that Mama was able to finish eating a "fully loaded" meal in just 10 minutes. We strolled around the mall and I purchased a Victoria Secret perfume for both of us. I love the Victoria Secret's Strawberries and Champagne...I think it is a great casual everyday Scent and Mother got Secret Crush. I am so happy that I am able to spend some quality time with my dear mother and I am looking forward for more of our wonderful gimmicks together.

Bonding With Dear Liezl

I've had a bonding moment with my dear niece Liezl. She came to the house because she wants to know how to earn money online through blogging. I told her that Jojo makes money through surveys and Paid to Click sites as well. My niece really have a lot of talents - I've read some of her blogs and I may say my blogs are nothing compared to hers so I really thing she would make it big if she would try monetizing her sites as well. After some blogging sessions, we had a DVD Marathon with dear mother. She spent the whole day at home and decided to just spend the night with us. I am really happy that we were able to spend some quality time together after five long years. I hope we would be able to continue having bonding moments such as this one again.
