Sa Lobby ng Dorm

Thank You God for Nanay~!!!

There I was sitting in front of the TV when this dorm mate of mine (whom we usually make fun of) sat right next to me. She then asked me to translate a letter (which was written in Filipino) to English.

At first I was pissed off...But as soon as I read the letter, I found out it was for her mother so I decided to help her out. Here she was trying her best to write a letter to her mom and here I am with no single plan on what to do for Nanay tomorrow. Oh, there's one actually. I'm going to text her "Happy Mother's Day!"

So as soon as I finished translating it, she thanked me and said "I te-text ko 'to sa Mama ko." It was one back-to-back notebook page long. It might consume more than three text messages I told her but she said it's okay.

Guess this reminded me to slow down and be like "the school grader me"; back during the days when I used to make a card for my parents during special days and even during normal ones. It doesn't hurt to be cheesy at times, I think. Especially if it's for them.

So I just felt like doing a haiku:

My life was from hers,

And she lived hers for others,

She is a mother.
