--Mum's great day!

When snail mail was still the only option to deliver greeting cards and internet access are still being developed, any celebrations are usually spared with effort and time.I remember rummaging through the aisle's of National Bookstore where Hallmark cards are neatly piled and go through the confusion of choosing which of which best suits the message.Even with ample stipend,I'd try save a few just to buy a card from Humor Post. They have cute designs with minimal pictures, and most come in black and white sketches or hues in pastel blue. The messages were pretty straight forward and nothing like those long poems I-couldnt-relate cards.

Nowadays where internet connection has already become a part of the regular Filipino household bills, I feel that the essence of passing through a celebration,became cheaper and sloppy. Gone were those cards or trip to the mall to buy one simple piece of folded oslo paper sent via courier., and to this I'm guilty of. I simply turn on my computer, load Facebook and get at least 20 notifications, {>>that's a fair number} where I am greeted for the mother's day.

When Myk's kids were younger,they would make greeting cards with messages straight from the heart. And since Xy is still young, she made me a card saying I love you {love represented by the heart shape} Mam's Day!. I asked her why it writes "mam's", she said she doesnt have the "o" shape on her cut outs. It's cheaply made, but is done in best effort and means. I want to savor the moment that Xy still has time to make me a card.I am such a laidback type. My preference still goes to the old times regardless of all aspects but things has changed. Enough of the sentimental me.




























We didn't have really plans today. Like usual, Myk made a last minute plan {I mean plans made same day}. . I awoke early, made them breakfast, one of the rarest time I do already. Bacon and Egg + juice in the morning. We ate before we left, since it was almost lunchtime.
