I Am But A Damsel In Distress

According to Wikipedia: The subject of the damsel in distress, or persecuted maiden, is a classic theme in world literature, art, and film. She is usually a beautiful young woman placed in a dire predicament by a villain or a monster and who requires a hero to dash to her rescue.

Yeah, I feel like a Damsel In Distress lately. I'm going through difficult situations. Or maybe I just worry too much these past few days.

My brother haven't updated me yet about the lump that they discovered on my Mother's chin. The last time I asked my brother about my Mom's visit to the doctor, that was 2 days ago, he said she kept moving her appointment with her doctor. Talking about a stubborn Mom. I can't help myself but worry whenever I think about my Mom's situation. I hope she gets negative results on her medical check up.

My other predicament is about some people at Church who keeps getting into my nerve lately. People I don't want to deal with but can't think of any way to not have to come across their path. They keep bugging me even if I ignore them. Sigh. I really hope they'd just get tired of making my life difficult. I don't want to deal with these bullies because I might just say something I might regret. That's why it's better off to ignore them.

I really feel exhausted. Sometimes I'm thinking about getting away and just take time to relax. Somewhere far from where I live right now. I think I miss my family.

I hope I can get over these predicament soon. I better confide with my Hero, my Father in Heaven, to rescue me and take my worries away.

My Mom's 63rd Birthday...

I haven't been online because of the outages going on around here. Although I went to some places to visit friends. And when I'm home, we don't have internet connection and my broadband tattoo doesn't have connection at home either. So I needed stay at Lainy's house to get connected to the internet.

Anyway, let me update you with how my Mom's birthday party turned out. It went well. On March 13th, I bought her a birthday cake for her 63rd birthday. Aunt Rose grilled fish for her and my cousin Jay Son made "fish kinilaw" for our lunch which I really liked!

Me and my Mom went to buy her outfit after wards for my brother's oath-taking which was held the next day. It was the same day that we all agreed to celebrate for her birthday.

We went to the mall. We bickered a lot like we used to do. We spent hours just finding the best outfit for her. It was really exhausting. I even lost her in the mall. Since she doesn't have a phone because she doesn't know how to use one, I have to ask at the paging counter to call her name out loud in the mall. I don't know. Most of the time, I can't stand my Mom's attitude. She's so noisy, I'm not. I'm the kind who wanted a calm and peaceful environment, she's not. Sigh. She always have something bad to say about things and people, worries a lot, quarrels almost all the people around her even her sisters and us - her children. She's tactless. She doesn't mind if she hurts someone else's feelings. She don't want to be reprimanded because she thinks she's right. Sigh. I have no choice. She's my Mom. I can't do anything about it.

Anyway, we were able to buy her outfit. She looked pretty on it. I was the one who did her make up. The oath-taking took place from 7am til 12 noon of March 14. It was the same day that Manny Pacquiao fought with Joshua Clottey so we expected that our visitors will not come on time. They have to watch the fight first. It was partly a late "lunch out" at Grab A Crab. It was Lainy who suggested the place. The place was nice and cozy and the food was great!

My Mom's sisters and some relatives were the ones who came and celebrated with us. I had fun chatting with my Aunts and cousins and my adorable nephew and nieces.

I'm not exactly sure though if my Mom had a good time back then. I hope she did.

Happy birthday Nanay! I love you and I will always go home to you despite our differences! I hope I can make you proud and happy some day.
