Simple Thoughts of Mine

I am a typical woman who knows how to do household chores.  I learned it from my childhood because my parents taught me so.  At an early age of 9, I already know how to cook rice, sweep the floor, wash the dishes and help my mother do the laundry.  Good thing that I don’t have an allergy with soaps or detergents which causes eczema or dermatitis.  I know someone who has an allergy with detergents.  She can’t even wash dishes nor her own clothes.  It cost her a lot bringing her clothes at the laundry shop.

My mom even taught me going to the market when I was still in grade school.  I recall I’m expert in buying milk fish (bangus) for this is my favorite fish for paksiw and sinigang in guava base.   At the same age, I learned going to school alone via jeepney and falling in line at the cashier to pay tuition fee.  I felt so independent that time and I don’t regret it because it became the foundation on what I am right now.  And with that, I want to thank my tatay and mommy for teaching me to stand on my own.
