Mom Violy wanted to try Spanish food from Las Flores at Robinsons Magnolia . I remembered long time ago saw a family friend when my family was visiting beginning of the year. Mom Violy couldn't remember decided to have our lunch. Carmina decided to try out their Let's Do Lunch for 595.00 pesos ($10.26). Carmina asked for vegetable soup and Bikini sandwich which is ham and mozzarella cheese with potato chips. There is an unlimited calamansi but decided to pay additional for a Coke to share with Mom Violy. Mom Violy wasn't sure what she wanted ended up eating Gambas al Ajillo and white rice. In the beginning Mom Violy thought if she ate her gambas al Ajillo with just unlimited bread from the Las Flores she won't get full. It turned out she didn't eat that much of her rice. Mom Violy also ate my vegetable soup thinking she won't like the taste. Carmina always eats vegetable soup and just wanted something light for a meal. I didn't finish my bikini san...
When you get older and
reach the age in the 80’s you have a harder time putting your clothes on and
removing it. You realize you need a new set of wardrobe in your closet.
For some reason you no
longer know how to button your clothes or your fingers are too big and can't
seem to do it on your own. You end up having an assistance to help you close up
your dress shirt or zip up your pants.
The t-shirt you wear need
tags that identify which is the front or the back to make sure you is not
wearing your clothes backwards.
My father in-law is going
through this stage in life he has a harder time identifying which is the front
and back of his t-shirt especially he has no print on them they are sold colors
he wear at the house.
He doesn’t realize he is
being strangled by the way he put his clothes on because it is backwards.
Only his wife and family
members will tell him his shirt is backwards as he changes it by removing it out.
You reach the stage when
you have a hard time tying your shoes you need to use the ones with Velcro and
shoes that stay and hold on to your ankle.
Everything starts to
change as you reach a certain age and you can't seem to cope it on your own to
put your own garment or shoes on your feet.
When you reach this age
we tend not want to ask help from others they feel they are still capable in
doing it for themselves.
I've notice the changes
from my father in-law he is no longer the talkative that he use to talk to us
at the table.
He is so quiet and just
keeps eating away as everyone is talking to someone. They no longer pay
attention that he is almost done with his food.
I realized that once we
are older we tend to fall back being a toddler again. You think it is so sad
you see someone act this way. But, we know the fact as you get older you need
someone at your side to always guide you where you are at and sometimes they
feel they can be still be independent when in reality they are having a hard
time adjusting themselves on the weakness they have become and they don't feel
like asking for the help they need.
Funny story:
My sister in-law came
over the house last night buying two pairs of pants for her father. Father
in-law tries on the pants and it didn’t quite fit him too well because the
pants my sister in-law bought him for maternity women. My father in-law for one
thing is not a women and not even having a baby.
My sister in-law thought
buying this for her father would fit him and be easier on him to wear on a
daily basis.
Today, we ended up buying
him garterized pants and it would be easier for him to pull up his pants and
put it down.
