Back in college, someone told me, "Jen, your mom should start a blog. I'll read it!" That comment shouldn't be taken lightly because those words came from my thesismate/writer extraordinaire, Neil, and I take his suggestions to heart. :) Why exactly did he say that? Because Mama is simply memorable (an understatement). Here are some of our favorite stories:
On People:
After the kiddie party...
Me: Nakakatakot talaga ang mga clown.
Mama: Mga tao rin yun!
(Inay, I know.)
On Technology:
When sending sms was still relatively new, I received 13 text messages one after another from Ma.
