Happy Mother's Day, Mrs. Brown!

Smart Communications Inc.   recently rolled out their #MothersDay video and the message did not fail to hit the nail on its head. Spot on! A gentle reminder for all of us  who are too busy chasing the red light living in the concrete jungle to even make time for our love ones. It's a bed weather  today and  I cant help but be abstracted as I sit alone in my cold office.The liquid sunshine seem to pull me back to random memories and  suddenly I found a virtual portrait of my Mommy in my mind- my Daddy's Whitney Houston, my Daddy's " Mrs. Brown ". It's been years since my siblings and our respective families lived separately from Mommy and although she keeps a humble hut just a few blocks  from where I live, I seldom find time to even have a cup of coffee with her.

Ever had that silly-mommy moments? They say becoming a mom doesn't come with a package instruction and somehow, this mother's instict thingy drives us mudras to do stuff we would one day be laughing about.  Everyone's entitled to a serving of hilarious scenarios in a lifetime, anyway. Well,hello May! It's almost mothers' day and I can't help but look back and let out a  grin at the thought of my own funny mommy momenti! cto Air-drying used diapers. Yes, I always notice passers-by taking a second look at my clothesline back then. Why wouldn't they when gel-less diapers are left hanging there to dry up together with other baby stuff?! Well I actually thought it was street smart! 😜Teehee! I would normally take out the gel from the soiled diapers of my baby and wash clean the plastic cloth, making sure that the cotton lining remains intact and the belt still elastic. Remember Kimbies? The diaper brand whose free belt doubles as headband of mommies, too!...
