Today is the second Sunday of May and it's a special day for all mothers. Whether you're a biological mother or you're a mother at heart, today is our special day.
In the past years, me and my family celebrates this day either by going out of town or by eating lunch or dinner in a restaurant. Usually no gifts or flowers ... we're not really into gift giving ... we're more on service and presence.
This year is very much different. National Capital Region (NCR) is still under the Enhanced Community Quarantine so there is no way that we can go out of town or go to any restaurant to celebrate. We just stayed at home, did some household chores and watch random shows in Netflix.
In the afternoon, my husband really wanted to treat me to some restaurant food so he asked my daughter to order through Grab Food but to his dismay, the app just says "Waiting for Available Driver" or something to that effect ... after more than fifteen minutes of waiting we decided to close the app and instead my husband prepared a simple vegetable dish. That was already a treat that we enjoyed as a family.
As a special treat, I requested my children to pull out the white hair on my head and clear my underarms with that stubborn hair ... it's really the right time to make such request to my children .... they just can't say no.
We have celebrated the Mother's Day in a very simple and inexpensive way but just like before, it is a meaningful one since we have celebrated it as a whole family.
God bless everyone. Til my next post.
