Mother’s Day here in Britain last Sunday, 26 March. It’s discomforting because of two reasons: First, it’s so commercialised, you can’t go into a shop without seeing “bouquet for mum” with an astronomical price tag. Second, because in the Philippines we celebrate Mother’s Day in May (tama ba?). So I need to hoard a few cards to send in out in the “off-season”. The bad thing is I forgot. So sorry Nanay, sorry sisters.

And does anyone know why the English spell ‘mom’ as ‘mum’? I’m being constantly corrected by American-English taught friends!

Buti na lang my son is here this time of year & he’s even old enough to carry light weights. My hubby made pogiBoy give me their gift of ‘mum’ frame & ‘mum’ coffee mug with a hug & a kiss. Of course my 21-month old son thought they were his.

I can’t wait until he’s actually old enough cut out his own cards & maybe cook me breakfast in bed. Now that’s a plus for Mother’s Day!
