1. Mga anak gumawa kayo ng schedule nyo sa paghuhugas ng pinggan!
2. Kayong dalawa Early at Hazel kelangan pagkatapos maligo huwag kayo lalabas ng banyo ng hindi labado ang panty at bra! Huwag ng iaasa pa sa katulong, private thing yan!
3. Maeng pagkagising tiklupin ang kulambo at linisin ang arinola yan, ang task mo everyday.
4. Maeng yung basura kelangan i-dispose na.
5. Hazel punasan ang mga display at siguraduhing walang alikabok.
6. Early yung windows punasan ng maigi.
If I can still remember these were several tasks given to us by Mom when we were kids. Growing up especially in my adoloscent stage, I did not understand her. I was thinking why doesn't she have to ask us to do things at home? What's the use of having a helper who can do the job, anyway she is paid for it! Because of immaturity and lack of comprehension on my part I was sometimes irritated and didn't want to do things at home. The only envy I had were watching television, collecting stationaries, or just merely playing with my friends besides that's what adolescents do, right !?
Although, a bit stubborn and disobedient with all the responsibilities given to me I didn't have the choice but to comply otherwise I will be punished. Still, I didn't get her point! If we speak about organization I was a topsy turvy and everything in our room is just a mess. And as a result, my Mom was particularly unhappy about it (my eldest sister is always the organized one :-). She always call me "burara" reminding me to always arrange my things inside our room, to fold my clothes, to shine my shoes and a lot of small things that an adolescent girl of my age can do.
Once my Mom uttered the very important phrases with sincerity "Tinuturo ko ito sa inyo para pagdating ng panahon na hindi na natin kailangan ang katulong, marunong kayong magtrabaho sa loob ng bahay. At pag nag asawa na kayo doon nyo lang mare-realize kung ano ang purpose ko!"
Now I wholeheartedly understand what she was trying to instill since the beginning. With this approach of my Mom, I realized it is actually an encouragement of life, building a skills that last for a lifetime! Since now I am also a Mother, I can say that I have actually learned a lot from my Mom. From the smallest thing up to the most difficult circumstances facing all through life's challenges. Especially I am a stay home Mom and living 10,000 kms from them I can do everything at home my Mom taught me without any worries. The only regret I had was not being able to learn how to cook when I had the chance. If you were to ask me to do household chores I can thoroughly and and perfectly do the job with my all my eyes close. BUT NOT COOKING...lol
To MOM , thank you very much for teaching me what is important in life, building my competencies, to raise us with discipline, learn how to sacrifice and prioritizes things. Knowing that being a parent is probably the most difficult and important job to perfom with exellence! Surely, I will also do the same thing with my children, telling them with pride that I learned this from my Mom when I was your age. Thank you again my for everything and I love you!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU MOM AND TO ALL THE MOTHERS IN THE WHOLE WORLD !
