Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference. As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...
Today, I made a group chat in
Facebook messenger for my mom and her best friend. We are planning for our
upcoming trip to celebrate our birthday.
I had received a quotation from our
travel agent and decided to make a group chat for the both of them. I figured
it would be easier on me so I don't need to send the same message individually.
It turned out my mom typed a message
that her best friend is not suppose to read. I only found out after I had read
her message. I tried signing on my mom's Facebook account. I was too late. Her
friend already read the message.
My mom called me up getting mad at
me. She said, it was my fault that she had typed the message in the wrong
place.
I told my mom how it can be my fault
when I didn't type it.
It didn't make it easier on me as I thought
it would have been. It became more complicated and had to meddle in between and
explain it to her friend that read a message.
Good thing her friend didn't take
the message against her. She knew my mom too well being friends for a very long
time.
I had informed my mom not to make
the issue bigger than what it was. I told my mom not to bother contacting her
friend to make more issue out of something she had already been clean up.
I learn my lesson no more group chat
for my mom.
You learn eventually the hard way
when you deal with my mom and someone who is aging and not understanding the
concept of group chatting.
