Last Saturday she called to inform me that we will go to Clark (Economic Zone selling PX goods) the next day to buy imported towels for give-aways. I'm glad she assigns me the task of suggesting and choosing the kinds of items that she readily approves while sitting down most of time waiting for me. You may ask why she still comes along? Why not totally leave the job to me? Well, it's because she wants to oversee everything, loves to shop and handle every minute details of the business including the entire life of her children down to her grand grand kids. No I'm not ranting (medyo lang, hehe) in fact I salute her for her energy and prowess though she's 77 but still strong. She's one super momma who will sacrifice everything for her 3 sons.

The skyflakes story

Done with the give-away shopping, we transferred to another store. While she was tired and waiting in the car, she told me she want something hot to take. I bought her coffee at McDonald's and mixed it for her with sugar and creme but later ask for toasted bread to dip in her coffee, eh wala naman nun sa McDo. So I got off the car to buy her some crackers. As she tasted the skyflakes crackers she said and thinking it may be imported "Oh this is good and not that salty compared to ones I've tasted, go grab 10 more packs because I'll give them to my sis, bro, to Rey and Ronnie the diabetics. Go taste it", giving me some, my tita A her cousin who was with us and even the driver. We all agreed but I can't help my big mouth with a burst of laughter and said "Nay, local lang yan gawang Cainta by M.Y. San" (Ma, it's locally made from Cainta)..... haha weird noh? But then Tita A went back to the shop but only one was left in the counter. "Oh, let's pass by another grocery to compare" hahaha she was insistent.
