Sunday: Mother's Day

We don't celebrate events like this. It is only now that we are adults did we start celebrating events like mother's/father's day, valentine's day or any special day. I really am not one of those who are so keen about such celebrations. Sometimes it makes me wonder that we adapt this kind of culture because of what the media wanted us to do. It makes us consume more, spend more for stuff and food.

I'm not sure who wrote an article here but why do we make one day special and the rest not? Is it really showing our love for just one day enough? We don't act like we love them the rest of the days. Why not show love every day instead? After the one special day we go back to ignoring our loved ones.

This may have started as a rant but let's forget all about that lol!

How did you spend your mother's day?

A simple message to your moms will make their day. To those who have still moms out there, show them that you care. Show them your love every day. You don't have to shower them with gifts. Do it in your own way of making them know.

Of course I can't discount the fact that some have not that so good a relationship with their moms. Not only do we have to limit our greetings to our birth moms but also to those who have been there for us even if they are not related by blood.

So to all mothers out there, responsible ones or not, Happy Mother's Day to you all!

Earlier today, me and my partner visited my parents. There was a new cafe/bakery that opened near us. Even though I grew up there and have lived there, there are still things that are unfamiliar to me even though I get to pass them every day.

That is what happened today.

It says the address is right around our neighborhood but I'm not sure about the building. Good thing it was just right at our stop. I didn't know this building has a name. I am familiar with the names of the businesses there but not the whole building itself.

This is the new cafe/bakery that just opened yesterday. Funny thing is that to the left of this is a bakery and the right one is another cafe soon to open. Two doors to the left are yet two other cafes. There are more further down and across the street and yet all these cafes are filled with customers.

This particular cafe started as bakery and it's one of the biggest bakeries if not the biggest in town and the province. It was just recently that they started opening a cafe in the next city. It's only now that they opened a cafe here.

We bought pandan cake and chocolate landslide cake. We also bought watermelon along the way to my parents.

I like the chocolate cake. The brownies on top were not that sweet but the bottom part is where the sweetness is. I haven't had a taste of the pandan. I have had enough cake for the day.

Before we left, we brought home with us gifts from our brother and aunt and also bananas. The bananas were the ones we brought home from our road trip. It was only now that they have ripened.

When we got home, we rested and only now was I able to visit read.

So that is how our Sunday went. How was yours?
