A Mother’s Day
"Selamat hari ibu…di tingkat nasional…Hehe.."
That’s a part of my sms to my mom yesterday as we also have an international Mother’s
Day. Ermmm…do we have our own Father’s Day in Indonesia??? Anyway… some thoughts
to ponder…it is not easy to be a mom. I think the more we grow up, the
more we love our parents since we start to understand how substantial the
responsibility and sacrifice they must bear for us to be good persons.
Talking about being a mom…a mom like mine…the process takes much more than
just occasionally dry and rough hand, some overcooked meals, or discolored
laundry, I believe =) For a little child, a mom must be his/her world, his/her
everything. For a teenager, a mom must be his/her friend with the same age. And
even for a grown-up, a mom must still be his/her counselor. No matter how
mature and independent you think you are, she will always be the first person
who’s worried so much when you are sick.
And talking about discolored-laundry experience…I got one yesterday.
Ughhhhh…so nyebelin. I soaked a tank top, a tee, a shirt -all in pink, and a purple
sleeveless tee together with a black cardigan. I’ve worn that cardigan for long
that I didn’t think it would cause any problem anymore. Hey btw, I reckon
laundry is similar with baking a cake in a sense that I’m always eager to see
how ‘the output’ is gonna be. And…Surprise! Surprise!! Yea, rite…I could only
save the sleeveless tee!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… I remember my
mom teaching me to wash dark-colour clothes separately. I remember my mom
teaching me to let all the clothes wet evenly before pouring the detergent to
prevent it from leaving any stain on the clothes. I remember my sis telling me
to read and follow the ‘care instructions’ tag inside the clothes. I remembered
all those things clearly when I was about to do the laundry, but I didn’t
follow any. So naughty!!! The choices now are obvious, I suppose: (1) to scrap
them, (2) to be creative enough to conceal the spot so that I can still wear
them, or (3) to be brave enough to wear with a positive thought in mind that it
may become the new fad for 2006!!! Hahahahaha… Well for me, I think I’m gonna
choose no (2), those are my fave clothes and one is even still brand new 
But
come to think of it… no (3) is also not too bad… ;p
I miss my mom. I’m honestly grateful to be her daughter.
