The Strongest Force is A Mother's Love

By -


A mother's love is the strongest force I've ever come to face. The kind of love that seems to withstand any challenges, any obstacles, any fears for the family's sake. A mother's love bears all hardships and melt them into a gentle care. You can feel it by the way they touch you, how they speak to you, and how they see you. It's as though they've never been hit by a terrible storm in their lives. It makes you ask: "How can this person can still be so gentle despite what life has done to her?". 

A mother's love makes her smile warmly. This love radiates. It makes her glow. Whatever troubles her, her love immensely overpowers it. Sometimes it makes you wonder. "Am I even worthy of receiving my mother's love?". So many times have I felt I wasn't a good daughter to her. There were many moments when I would push back, fight, and shout for what I think is correct. It pains her I know. It hurts her. But a mother's love is stronger than any push backs, fights, and yes, even shouts thrown to her. A mother's love is that gentle voice saying: "Whatever you say, or do, you are my daughters, and I love you.". 

A mother's love remembers happy memories. She remembers those times when she was about to give birth. She remembers the extreme happiness she felt when she finally sees the baby, who gives her hope and strength to continue. She remembers the first time you learned how to walk, or the first word you spoke. Her love remembers your hug, your smiles. Her love remembers how you tried to write that letter for her on her birthday when you just started to learn how to scribble. Her love remembers how you shared your dreams with her. How you confided in her. A mother's love is an endless bank account of love and happy memories. 

A mother's love feels. She feels it when something is not right. She feels it when you are worried, anxious, down, and scared. She feels it when you are mad. She feels it when you are confused. Sometimes, a mother, being human, cannot put into words perfectly how she feels, so sometimes, we misunderstand them. But a mother's love speaks the right hymn, composes the perfect sentences, and gives the most precise message. A mother's love says: "I am always here for you. You are always loved by me. No matter who you are."

A mother's love is unbreakable. No matter what you do. It remains steadfast. It is the true north. It is the loving embrace that awaits you when you've been away far too long, or when you've lost your way. A mother's love are shown in her smiles, in her tears, in her embrace. A mother's love does not waiver until her very last breath. A mother's love lives on forever. That is why, a mother's love is the strongest force in our existence. It is unbreakable. It is strong and yet gentle. It is forgiving. It is nurturing. A mother's love is one of the greatest blessings from God. To let us know and believe that right in front of us, and even right within our hearts, there is a mother's love that's fuelling us to move on and make a positive impact to the world. 

To our mom, Mama Estela, happy mother's day and advanced happy birthday to you! Thank you for your endless love for us. Thank you for your mother's love.

To Mama Linda, Mommy Hening, Tita Hazel - and to all the mothers in the world who are the epitome of a love that is endless and pure, thank you for all your love!

We love you very much!

Love,
Ate Jedde

Silent Surrenders

"You are expected to be the strong one; the unbreakable. The always on the go, always successful,  always the one who knows where she's heading. But what they don't know about are your silent surrenders. When your mind shuts down because it's too full. Full of worries. Full of uncertainties. Full of insecurities and doubts. You break down and quietly give up. They don't know about it and you don't talk about it. And the day goes on and on and on. With your loud victories and your silent surrenders. Close your eyes. Count the stars. Get lost in a galaxy far away. Imagine its vastness, think of its depth. And when your tears fall,  let them disperse into tiny diamonds. When it's become too heavy to carry, and you're on the verge of whispering that you're tired, know that you  can make diamonds from the tears in your eyes. And your brilliance can rest when the moon appears tonight. Just let the night embrace you tight." Written by: Mary Jedde

Into the Blue at Adventure Cove Sentosa

It's so uncommon for me to get free tickets, but this time is different! Woohoo! (Thank you, sponsor!) 30 June 2018 - I cannot keep my excitement. It's finally tourist mode for Alex and me. We decided to meet up at Vivocity at around 10 in the morning. I arrived a little later than that. Nonetheless, we arrived at Sentosa just nicely - not a lot of people flocking the queues yet.  Here are some of our awesome fun at Adventure Cove! Our cute tickets. When we entered the gates, our bags were checked and we were asked if we brought outside food. Apparently, outside food is not allowed. We did bring, but the guy never asked us to leave it so yeah. Our first stop was a Maze. A cute concept with some simple ropes course on top of it! These "waterfalls" and random water splashing at your face when you go through this maze. A pirate ship-themed water display. We didn't go to this one just because it wasn't as interesting. (To be honest, I ...

One Delightful Afternoon at Marisse Patisserie

"Where do you want to go next?", Alex asked, right after we enjoyed a generous lunch at The Gallery. I got mad at him because he was late and I was really hungry. You know that feeling when you can't think properly when hungry right?  "Well, there's this place I want to visit.", I replied. Alex is my partner in crime, my best bud and my boyfriend. We enjoy eating food together and going to new places. Fun fact! Before I could tell him the name of the place, I showed him the map first.  Why? Well, that's because I'm such a loser at distinguishing locations and giving directions. I showed him first because I know it'll help me convince him easily if he knows where it is. Compared when I say the address in twisted words.  "It's here, located at 32 Sanson Road.", I said. It is the road between Anita's and Auto Gas Station across JY Square in Lahug, Cebu City, right beside KAYU: Kitchen + Bar, also a...
