May 11, 2008 - A very memorable day for my family as we celebrated Mother's day. Well, my brothers and I haven't really prepared a grand surprise for my mom like we do before. We usually surprise mom with beautiful flowers or with a cake or a material gift, but this time is different. The day before mother's day, my family went to the mall and mom was looking for nice cards to give to our grandmother and to her mother friends. I was planning to buy one but since mom was around, I browsed for a birthday card instead. When we had dinner, I pretended that I have to get something so I left them and hurriedly bought a card for mom. My brothers and I wrote our own personal message in the card, placed the card in our kitchen table to surprise mom the next day. Then finally the awaited day has come. When mom read the card she was teary eyed. We knew that she was very happy and was touched by our message of thanks and love. For a mother's day treat, we went to Parklane and had buffet dinner at Manuel's. The place has a very relaxing and romantic ambiance. We enjoyed a sumptuous meal and a feel good music by serenaders bringing with them stringed instruments like violin, cello and guitar. The serenaders gathered at our table and played, "When I fall in Love". Dad joked about crying while in fact tears were ready to fall from his eyes. I was teary eyed that time too. It was just a day full of emotions. There were not much words spoken but love and joy is felt and expressed from the heart.
