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
Carmina was able to interview Mom
Violy how it is like living alone during our pandemic.
Mom Violy said it is lonely
living alone and not able to go out because of the age.
Mom Violy claims when you hear
most of your closest friends went toward dying due to health reasons not
because of corona virus. You begin to go toward depression thinking all your
friends have left you behind. You're the only one still living sometimes you
think about death even if you don't want too.
Mom Violy doesn't want to have
Carmina live with her. She prefers to have her own privacy and not use too
having someone at her side.
Mom Violy is independent, but
when she needs help she has people around her for example Sonny who drove us to
our adventure is actually a security guard that works at the condominium of
where Mom Violy lives.
Sonny works for the senior
citizen part time to essential things needed from residents who live there by
doing their errands or drive them around.
If Carmina is not able to
purchase all her stuff online Sonny does it for her.
Mom Violy has contact with
residences in the same area who sells fruits, bread and other food to call them
when she wants to replenish her goods.
Night time comes when
loneliness comes what drives someone is to watch movies and their partner in
crime becomes food.
Mom Violy claimed she use to
eat only three times a day when there was no pandemic. The problem when you end
up staying home for a long period of time you end up eating five meals in a
day.
Carmina was surprised and hey
that is too much.
Carmina had no clue how much
food her mom was consuming in a day basis. Every time Mom Violy had requested
for sweets. Carmina kept telling her she might become diabetic. Mom Violy was
in denial saying I only eat one Popsicle in one day.
Remember that Ube pinipig ice
cream Mom Violy asked her daughter to look for her. Mom Violy told Carmina she
only eat once a day, but found out two months later she eats it twice a day.
Mom Violy also ask Carmina to
purchased baked goods from S& R the double chocolate muffin, sliced cakes
from Red Ribbon or Goldilocks.
Even though Carmina was telling
Mom Violy to control what she eats yet she wasn't accepting it she was doing
something wrong.
Carmina realized that Mom Violy
is not the only one stress eating. Carmina was able to talk to her other
friends who are doing the same because they too live alone.
Food seems to comfort the
people who live alone who are going through depression and being lonely.
They won't admit they are
lonely not until they need help to pull them toward going on a diet.
Mom Violy only woke up and
realize she was doing something wrong when recently she decided to have a blood
test to see what medical changes has occurred.
Mom Violy found out she needed
to go on a diet and she has gained weight by trying on her clothing at home.
Pattern of our life we realize
a wakeup call this is not me before and I don't want to die. I want to live
longer to appreciate the things I want out of my life.
Mom Violy is going back to her
regular schedule by eating three times a day and to exercise rather than
comfort her in food.
