Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice. The person had handed us the menu. Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice. Carmina had ordered Beer Battered Fish and Malt Vinegar with choice of pot
In the American show we have the show Mr. Bean have you ever heard
of having a mother who can be Ms. Bean. For all her bloopers in her life I can
share with you so many incidences that your stomach will turn and you will have
a lot of laughter.
A long time ago my mom and I had just arrived from San Francisco
and there was a revolving door going out. As she was pushing one of the carts
and she had placed her one luggage and one hard carry in it. One of her luggage
rolled over and went to the revolving door. My mom left her cart inside the
airport as she is chasing over her other luggage. But, she couldn't reach it
because it was in the opposite side of the revolving door.
During that time my mom had no common sense. My mom is freaking
out while people are staring at her being so loud. She is screaming that she
cannot get her other luggage that fell down.
I had entered the revolving door and went outside and grabbed her
luggage. I couldn't stop laughing at my mom.
To this point I can remember all the silly things she has done
when I am with her.
Too bad I didn't have a phone to take her video or else I would have
won from the American's Funniest Video Television Show.
One time we had booked a flight to visit her sister in St. Louis
and rode a plane. During that time you can't pick what seating arrangement you
want. The flight was full. I was seating separate with my mom. She ended
seating next to a man who was a stranger.
They we're serving beverages during that time and she had ordered
a canned of soda. She had opened the can and for some reason it slips her hand
and a portion fell on the lap of the guy seating next to her. Good thing the
guy next to her didn't get mad.
The man just made a side comment I think you need to drink from a
sipper cup.
My mom had told me the story and she had no clue what a sipper cup
was. I had explained to her it is a non spill cup that toddlers are using.
My mom does the embarrassing things to me when we are in the
grocery store and she is faraway distance from me and she needs change or
coins. She will yell out my name in a public area. I would respond to her thank
you for announcing my name to a total stranger. Now, they know my name.
There was one time I had embarrass her as well to get back at her
for all the embarrassment moments I had to deal with her. We went shopping at a
store and I couldn't find her in a department store in California. I went to
customer service and these people thought I was a lost teenager. I told them my
mom is missing and I cannot reach her.
The sales person had paged her asking to look for her and told her
to meet her daughter at customer service. She was so mad at me.
I told my mom I gave you a piece of your medicine now you know how
I feel.
One time we had visited her brother in the bay area and we just
had dinner. My mom had made a turn in the residential area and she forgot to
close her door, but her seat belt is on. All a sudden her door starts to open
slowly. Good thing she is on a stop sign and she was able to close her door
right away.
This one is really funny my niece had fooled their Nana (my mom)
that they have a mirror on their phone. My mom was putting lipstick that time.
My niece was actually taking a video of her. My niece played it back and we're
laughing all together. The good part of my mom she doesn't complain about all
the foolish things she does. Or what her grand kids do to her.
My mom has a habit of bringing an extra hand bag when she goes out
on a regular day. One time she left her other bag at the seat at a party. I
told her mom you left your diaper bag. Her friend responded I didn't know your
using adult diaper. My mom was so mad at me. She had explained to her friend
that her other bag are just her toiletries soap and toilet paper.
Sometimes my mom slips and calls her extra bag as a diaper bag
since she hears it from me often when we're out together.
Picture someone who enters a restaurant and the person at the
counter ask how many party are you to be seated. The person gives you a table.
Your mom moves to one table to another to figure out what is the best table
that is not too cold or too humid inside the restaurant. Other people who are
eating inside are just staring at you.
From all the moving and transferring tables you end up sticking to
the first table the person gives you.
My mom has a habit of bringing two jackets with her. She never
ends up using it inside the restaurant when she feels it is cold inside.
I remember a relative was telling she just arrived in the
Philippines from the airport and since she hasn't colored her hair. Her hair
was all gray someone had mistaken her elderly person who couldn't walk and they
had offered her a wheel chair. She said, to her mind it was an insult. She
realized you really need to make yourself look presentable when you travel.
There was a moment my mom had a re bond in the Philippines before
she was traveling to San Francisco. The parlor also colored her hair the same
time. Her hair looked like a scrub that you use to clean the pots and pans to
clean the dirt.
My mom received a check mark to enter customs because she looked
suspicious that she looks like she is taking drugs.
I was traveling that time with my mom and my boys when they are
young. My mom was so scared even if she had done nothing bad or brought
anything against the law. Just the fact she was sent to be investigated.
My mom was called, off to leave and until that point in her life
she realized how you look and how you present yourself when you travel is a
really big thing. She just happens to learn the hard way based on her
experiences.
When you hang out with senior people you tend to see their flaws
in life and you just need to be patient with them. I have been my mom's
personal assistance and I am far more use to all the comments I hear from her.
I try not to take it too judgmental. I am sure she really doesn't mean it when
she says bad things at your face.
On based of this story my mom doesn't mind me sharing you all her
funny experience in her life. I am sure everyone has story that is kept inside
from their experience with their parents.
To me it is my advantages I get to share it to the world and make
them laugh to feel good about them.
This is how my life I live in we put laughter in our mind and
heart. I am not a serious person I like to tease people and we laughed this way
we end up looking young. They say, laughter is good for the heart.
