Happy Mother's Day!

I may not have the kind of mom who copiously provide for their daughter, or the kind of mother who affectionately flatter their kids with sweet and chummy words. I have an ordinary mother. Yes, who extra-ordinarily loves and takes care of me and my sister.

She can be sarcastic sometimes, but it works! It's called reality. She never fails to make me think that life is not all about me. She helped me cross the bridge between reality and the fantasy world I've fabricated in my self-centered mind. To be able to stay in the open and embrace my imperfections. Also that I should learn to be grateful for everything and stop comparing myself with others. For I am superbly and wonderfully made. Well she communicated this with all the love and practicality overflowing her.

Me and my Lovely Mom! :)

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, MOMMY!! :) Thank you for being always there for me – ups and downs. Whoever I am right now, owe big chunk of it from her. Sorry for being such a hardheaded, pain in the ass daughter sometimes. I have no words to say how much I thank you for everything you’ve done. I am grateful and blessed for having a mom like you. I LOVE YOU from the deepest part of my heart! ♥ You’re the best mom!!! :)

Here’s a song to pay tribute to my mom and all the lovely mothers’ all over the world!! Happy Mother’s Day!!

So, now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love,

Mama I love you, Mama I care,

Mama I love you, Mama my friend,

My friend

Happy Birthday, Mom!!

Dear Mom,

Surprise! Bet you didn't see this on my blog. :P You have been my biggest supporter since.....forever. You are the first to be excited about anything I'm doing. My mom is awesome. You might think I have to say that because she gave me life, but it's true...she really is awesome. Needless to say, I got some good genes. Hihihi (Don't worry, Dad. I love what I got from you, too.) But it's not just her looks that make her awesome, it's the love she shares. Her heart is bigger than big. Family means so much to her and it's something she's instilled in me, which I cannot thank her enough for. 

She's also a good mom, even though I'm all grown up. Although, let's be honest, do we ever stop needing our moms just because we become ourselves? NO. We need them more than ever as we get older. And I am glad that she is mine. There's not a thing I can't turn to her for, not a thing she wouldn't do for me. For that I am blessed. I am blessed to learn from the best.

Mom, THANK YOU over and over for everything you do and everything you are. Thank you for always having a homemade dinner on the table when we were growing up. Thank you for serving our family and church faithfully. Thank you for choosing Dad--who also serves diligently and tirelessly. You are both such remarkable people and I will forever be grateful for the blessing of having you as my parents.

Thank you for being supportive every step of the way as I have struggled and triumphed. Thank you for never making me feel the pressured in any big life decision I've made. I have always felt like you and dad have completely trusted me. That's one of the greatest gifts any parent can give a child.

Thank you for every sacrifice you've made on my behalf. Thank you for loving me through every tantrum (even though I don't believe that I could possibly throw fits!), every mood swings (What?!) hahaha and anything I ever did that caused you worry or concern or heartache. 

I LOVE YOU so much, Mom!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mom!!!! To the person who has been there for us through thick and thin, who never gets tired of taking care of us no matter what happens. WE LOVE YOU!!! :))

Love lotz, 

Cai :)

My SuperWoman-Fun-Freakin-Tastic MOMMY!

How do you define super woman? Someone talented? Strong? Exceptional? or perhaps remarkable? Those are few definitions of a super woman. Yes. I believe superwomen exist in our life. They are all around us and we see them everyday. They are with us every time, ready to lend us a helping hand whenever we need it. We even take them for granted at times. I'm most definitely talking about our Mothers -- Mom, Mama, Nanay, Mommy, Mumzie, Mudra or whatever we call them. 

There is no denying just how influential our mothers are in our lives. They are not the only ones responsible for giving birth to us but also taking care and loving us. That is why this day, even though it's a late post for Mother's Day! I would like to dedicate this blog post for one great woman in my life. She is no less than my MOM.

Oftentimes, we forget the many sacrifices our mother do for us. It takes a whole lot of skills and "super powers" to be a mom -- at least that's what I believe because I'm not yet even a mother, maybe in the future. All I know is that it's never an easy job but it's also a BEST job there is.

In honor of all the mothers out there, this month of May, we celebrates "Mother's Day". That even just for a day, we are given a chance to celebrate and give appreciation for all the goodness they have unconditionally given us all these years in our lives.

Indeed, this day calls for a celebration for countless reasons. For without our mothers, we wouldn't be where we are right now. We won't be the own persons that we are if our mothers have not been there for us all this time. I can actually call my mom a "super woman" for the same reason that you call your own moms "super woman" also. I believe that description suits my mom and yours perfectly well. No objection!! Haha :)) Imagine, taking care of me and my sister, of course with the help my dad but still was never an easy task.

She is more than a mother to us. She is my best friend, sister, my adviser, my teacher, my everything. She taught me in my 21 years of existence. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! I hope you're all having a lovely day with your moms and letting her know just how amazing she is. I love my mom to bits. She has been an inspiration and someone who is always there to offer words of wisdom and encouragement. To my mother who sacrificed so much, toiled so much and gave up so much for us, WE LOVE YOU! And, we shall continue loving you.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Lord God for giving me such a great parents, with their assets and imperfections altogether, they made my life perfect enough. So for Mother's Day, let us all greet our moms a happy one... and always give hugs and kisses. :))
