One Week Later after Arrival


One week later after your arrival to the Philippines staying at a home that you feel uneasy.

Even though your living with any family member each one of them have their own house rules. The life they live in particular once you touch or move something they feel you’ve enter inside their comfort zone.

The family member starts to feel uneasy not telling you directly to your face but to make a story out of it to someone else yet at your presence your there to hear it.

Carmina and Mom Violy have been traveling together since May 4, 2022. Spending quite a time together and sleeping in same bedroom just like anyone we want our own space.

During our stay at my sister’s home while family members were out of town. Carmina had transferred to another bedroom across from Mom Violy.

Two weeks later Carmina moved back to the same room where we didn’t clash or hit each other nerves because we had time to ourselves.

Even if Carmina was driving Mom Violy to her doctor’s appointment her stories were repeatedly the same.

Carmina realized her mom is aging and getting there at age 80 we need to accept their body clock is changing.

Living with Mom Violy is an adjustment period for both of us.

Same time we are jetlag by the time difference from the States based to the Philippines.

Sleeping Pattern:

Mom Violy takes naps at 4:00 PM and wake up 11:00 pm to eat her dinner. Mom Violy goes back to sleep later in the morning and wake up at 6:00 AM.

Carmina sleep at 8:00 PM  and wake up between 4:30 AM to 5:30 AM.

Our body clock are different based on age since Carmina has no health issue.

Eating Habit:

Mom Violy likes food that is sweet. Her palate is changing while she is older and having health issues.

She loves eating food Carmina particular doesn’t like which are crispy pata and lechon.

Carmina prefer eating food on the lighter side if possible she’ll eat half cup of rice and more on the main course.

Mom Violy has been cooking for our food pork sinigang, chicken tinola and beef nilaga. 

Carmina doesn’t eat a lot Mom Violy has a lot of leftover placed in her freezer.

Mom Violy doesn’t like cooking Carmina orders food from Grab Food.

We have an option to change the address where we may be.

Mom Violy is surprised since she has no clue how ordering food works. 

Carmina has always told Mom Violy if there are certain food you want to eat. I can order it have it delivered at her condo all you need to do is go downstairs at the lobby and meet the rider.

Mom Violy doesn’t want to deal with the hassle she prefer someone else to do it for her.

Carmina had ordered her personal items online through Shopee and Lazada having it delivered at Mom Violy’s address.

No matter where Carmina lives there is always access to what your accustom to do. You just bring it with you and learn to adapt where you end up living in the future.
