Celebrating my mother's unplanned birthday

My phone rang loudly in the melody of chirping bird tune. I covered my head with blanket once more before I go out to my bed. But my bed is pulling me and my mind is commanding me to sleep again. No, I have to wake up early today because it is nanay's birthday. There are a lot to prepare especially the foods. I am task to cut, chop, and grater ingredients. My body feels heavy because I felt tired from what happened last night.

Since we have inflated pool, we aired it. The summer heightened with incredibly hot temperature and thus the air was quite off. Can you imagine we're very near in farm, but you cannot feel any wind at all. That's why we decided to inflate our pool and soaked ourselves. It felt good. I started to stay in the water around 7 pm and leave around 9:30 pm. We watched the newly released western series from Netflix Bridgerton season 2. Oh, we just finished two episodes. I bought pizza and fries as well to make it more a little bit fancy. There's a Novellino wine left by my cousin before and I shot some too. What an incredible night.

The hidden plan

Supposedy, the plan we had talked about for my mother's birthday was to celebrate it just the five of us. We will not invite any family relatives because my parents are saving money now to finish our house. Our house isn't finished yet. There are some parts which we like to change and add. If you are living in subdivision, you know that houses are not fully furnished. We had to repair the ceiling of the house because of too much heat at the height particulary on the second floor.

But we have no idea that my aunties and uncles had already plan something. They told us that they will come here and bring some food. Of course, it would be embarrassing if we will not prepare anything and eat only what they bring. The foods they will bringam are for our snacks like pichi-pichi, ginataan, and maja. Right, my aunt Bagie baked some cupcakes and puto too. So we have to cook viands for lunch. I will cook Bicol Express, stuffed chicken and buffalo wings. Then the rest will be cook by my father like grilled bangus, sinampalukang manok and menudo.

My relatives are coming!

I opened my phone and read the notifications that pop-up every minutes. They will leave the house in Kawit and Bacoor at 10 o clock and will arrive here around 11:30 o'clock. Just perfect for lunch. But the problem is if we can finish all the dishes we're cooking right now. There are only two gas stoves running and the woods we usually use are consumed. So how the heck I am still writing an article despite I am busy today. Actually, I'm writing this while I am in the comfort room and for every break I have done in preparing ingredients.

I started writing this around 7:30 am and time check is 9:48 am. I have been typing for 2 hours already. And it seems I am far from finishing it because it has only 3 minutes reading time. Oho, speaking of relatives are coming, my cousins are here now. Our dogs are barking in high pitch tone and my sister is assisting them coming in. They used their bikes coming here and they are sweating a lot. I envy my cousins because they can bike that long. I didn't like to bike or drive any vehicles. I developed a phobia due to I am almost hit by tricycle in the first time and truck for the second time. I do not try to ride any vehicles until now.

My birthday wish for my mother

Honestly, I am not very talkative and expressive about my love to my family. That is not my love language. Today, although my nanay will not read this but I will message her here. Oh, dear me, I am quite shy.

Nay, you have been a wonderful nanay for all these years. You endured tumultuous amount of hardships together with tatay. There are times I knew and I felt that you cannot bare it anymore. However, you still continue to move forward for us, for our family. My heart is deeply hurt when I heard something bad about you. When people belittle you because you are just working as machine operator. So what? It is a decent job and it pays enough to support our needs.

I want you to know that we love you so much. You are a wonderful mother despite of your faults and lacks. To be honest nay, If I will be given a chance to choose a mother. Will I choose you again? Definitely not. Just kidding! Of course, I will choose you again and again. No mother likes you. I still remember when I was young that you used to give us new phones every year because that's what we wish for in our birthday. Thankfully, you bought us one

Finally, nay always remember that when I will support you and tatay all the time. When I finally got a decent job after graduation, my first ever salary will be allotted only to the both of you. I will not even think to buy something from that salary. I want you the first person in these world to taste the fruit of my labor because you deserved it. I love you yesterday, today and for a life time.

This is the end of my article with my message to my nanay. Please bear my article today because I made this for my nanay. Anyways, I will probably read and reply to all comments later this night. Let's cheer and enjoy our lives to the fullest.

Thank you for reading!
