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...
There are some people not only young who are feeling restless at
home when you are living in the Philippines and being unable to do normal
routine in your daily life you begin to feel helpless. Those who are feeling
that way are the elderly people who are use to going out to get some fresh air
and walk around to the market to see faces in front of them and gather together
just to do small talk.
What happens like times like this when you're prohibited to go out
because of your age?
I was talking to my mom the other day and she was telling me how
people her age who are not use to staying home want to commit suicide or they
feel they will die early because they are not capable to go out and see the
world.
They feel life was easier for them if they follow and reach to
heaven because there is no covid-19 there and they would be at peace with no
more worries.
I asked, my mom if she had ever felt that way and she said at their
age they feel lonely especially if they have no companionship.
I realize not only people who are elderly who gets affected being
lonely it is also people who have no relationship with anyone who wants to feel
like someone is there for them.
Sometimes when we stay home and we are not use to it in our brain
we start making up stories or we start to feel moody because you see the same
surroundings from waking up in the morning and until the day ends you are so
bored.
This is the time we need to reach out to the elderly people to see
if they are okay and to keep in touch with them because you never know what a
call can do for a person at their age they need someone to talk to share their
stories in which they are use to doing outside when they go shopping to buy
their daily needs.
There are some elderly people are not high technology people who
live in their own generation where everything is done by hand.
I realized when we stay at home yes I too get restless because I
too want to go out and I am not the age who are not allowed to go out but when
you have family of your own you need to set a good example so staying fully at
home proves to who you are and what guideless you are giving to those who are
staying home with you.
Just like anyone else we get mood swings as we see other people able
to go out in other countries you start to envy them but in no doubt you worried
for them because they are not staying home just how you are.
