Missing Mom

Because she hasn't come home for two weeks now, we all miss her. :(

  

I was brushing my teeth one morning when mom jested, “Mag-asawa ka na lang kaya?”

I gave her my “Like-duh!” look and said, “Ma, mag-boyfriend siguro muna ako?”

Mom has been very intrusive of my love life lately. Well, she’s always like that naman but recently, may extra effort!

Last time, she obliged me to “meet” her friend’s son. He was, um, okay. She even gives out my number to her close amigas. In short, ibinebenta na ako ng nanay ko. *Sigh* And whenever I mention meeting former “suitors” who are mostly my friends now, she gets excited. Especially about L. Actually, she never really liked him dahil hindi raw sya nagmamano kapag bumibisita sa bahay! Pero may pasalubong naman! :p

To be fair, he was really smart, thoughtful, and we get along well. He even listened to Boyfriend, SuJu, Loveholic, etc. and watched Kdramas so he can relate to my Hallyu addiction. Now we both think Jang Dong Gun is undeniably hot. :p Kaya lang hindi naging kami e.

Mom also unearths past letters and gifts. Whatda. She likes to make pakialam stuff in my closet. One time she brought up my college crush, Sta. Fina. I was like, “Tagal na nun, Ma. Friends lang kami.” “Showbiz!” she blurted.

“E yung nagbigay sayo ng portrait? Kamusta sya?”

“Baka naman may boyfriend ka na ayaw mo lang ipakilala?”

 “Gusto mo ba ng Engineer? Architect kaya?”

I-apply ko kaya sa TMZ ang mom? Or match making?

Her interrogation takes centuries to stop. Maybe because she’s remarrying this year. Shit. Remarry. I guess she wants to meet the awesome guy soon. Too bad the awesome guy hasn't arrived yet.

Anyhow, despite all her effort and schemes, mom still reminds me to only give my 50% in love. But I guess I’m beyond that now.
