EMPOWERED MOM

After 48 years of being married, Manang Pilar (not her real name) could finally breathe. At the wake of her husband, she never wept. Not a single tear flowed down her cheeks. Not a single tear, nor sorrow. But she was not happy either. She felt nothing. Even the children who loves her very much did not cry one bit while people flocked and flooded them with condolences.

If you are merely an onlooker sitting from afar, you will wonder why the wife of 48 years will never mourn her husband’s passing.  You will wonder why all his 6 children never showed any pain or sorrow from his demise. They were just there. As if to tell people that at the end of the head of the family’s life, they are a family still, hence they have to be there.

TO BE CONTINUED..(will finish tomorrow, I am very sleepy already..)

I love a house with lots of windows. That may be the reason why I like living here at the Orange house. Unfortunately, the French windows and the other windows are not as nice as professional windows. How I wish they were made with Penguin Windows. That would surely be a treat.

See that house above? That is what Lili chose to place in our vision board. She said she likes a house with lots of windows too. Just like mommy. Well what’s with windows anyway? Ever since THE SIMS, I have been fascinated by houses with huge opens or houses with many windows. I guess it reflects my personality. I am open and transparent which is good most of the time, but bad when other people tend to use and abuse it. But, if you think about it, having lots of windows is a very practical thing. See, I am more appreciative of living in a house that  has lots of windows now that we are facing the rotational brown out in our city. You can just imagine your perspiration flowing like crazy without air-conditioners and fan to help in taking care of the heat. But when you have open windows, and many at that, life is phenomenally amazing..
