It's been days of craving for a decent yet simple "me-time." Been doing this & that. Exerting a lot of time, efforts, money and energy to accomplish numerous tasks. At the end? Extreme weariness starts to kick in.
On the other hand, a daughters' stress isn't that much as to what a Mom were having in a day-to-day basis.
Finances, household chores, and unending responsibilities as a mother to her children. Name it, they have it all!
As a Mom who's living a life with a limited source of income, budgeting a little amount of money for everyday needs will always be a headache. As well as a "source of stress."
And, that's what I have observed from my own Mother.
We all know that our Moms will always prioritize us over themselves. Therefore,as long as us, her children, aren't yet established and having a better life as compared to what we're having at this point? She won't never feel calmed & burden-stress-free.
It's been weeks of observing my Mom's acts and mood. Based on her facial & body expressions, stress and tiredness were screaming from her insides. To the point that I, her daughter, feels it even without her uttering a single word.
What's making her be at this state? Simple, LIFE. As the major financer of the family who carries most of the expenses, it really made her mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted.
Me, as a concerned daughter to my parents, this kind of situation won't make me feel at peace. As my mind will continuously think:
"How could I ease that over-screaming stress?"
One way that strikes my mind? Treat her (Mama) out with a simple meal.
Here's the available diners where I could dined-in with her:
- Jollibee;
- Mang Inasal; and
- Unli-samgyupsal at Kakabsat Food Hub or Unli 199 Samgyup sa Muñoz.
Eventually, got made up a decision. Will have a "samgyupsal date" with Mom at Kakabsat Food Hub in Tuesday, 08/30/2022.
And, here's the package we chose: Unli-samgyupsal for 199 pesos per head + lemonade which includes ...
- Unli Pork (plain pork, pork curry & pork BBQ);
- Unli Chicken (plain chicken, chicken curry & chicken BBQ); and
- Unli Side-dishes (kimchi, pickled cucumber, peanuts with dilis, marbled potatoes, hotdog & plain rice).
This is Mama's second time to dine at unli-samgyupsal-an and look at her smile:
"That smile made my Mom look more younger, beautiful & radiating!" ✨
How I really want that I'll always see & feel this vibes from her. Soonest! When I already had established a brighter career, my parents will radiate a positive, stress-free & calm vibes!
I may be financially problematic at this point, but Mom's smiles & laughter at that day made my bill so worth it! ♡♡
