Like Mother, like Daughter??, Nah! I Don't Think So

P.S. This post is not to talk "bad" things about my mom, I just want to release all the things inside me that I can't share to others or even to my mom 'coz for sure she'll not understand. First entry pa lang 'to about this topic.


Like mother, like daughter?? Nah! I don't think so. My mom and I -- we're like cats and dogs. We always clash even if it's not a big-deal-thing to make an issue. I just don't get it. She always get mad -- she'll get mad kahit na maliit na bagay lang na 'di na dapat pinapalaki. C'mon. Hay... :( Even when I was a kid, she's already like that. FYI: We're not close. We don't have this mother-daughter bonding like the others do. We don't even have this serious-girly-talks, etc. Busy kasi sa work kaya siguro ganun (until now na retired na sila there's no change). I'm a daddy's girl and I can talk to my him and express my thoughts unlike with my mom who's a close-minded person. Actually I'm closer to Mama, she's our Yaya and I consider her as my second mom. I'm happy na andiyan siya, na andito siya sa puder namin :). Sometimes I wonder, "Bakit ganun? Bakit kami (my mom and I) ganito?" 'Di ko siya maintindihan kung bakit siya ganun. Always mad, grumpy, mega-strict, close-minded, siya lagi tama, etc. Hay... There were times na tinatanong ko sarili ko, "Bakit sila ganun? Kami ng nanay ko hindi?" I know it's wrong to compare pero 'di ko kasi maiwasan ee. Ako na nga lang yung nag-iisa niyang anak na babae tapos ganito pa. There's a space inside me hoping, hoping that we'll be ok, that we can get along like the others. Pero hindi ee, parang malabo ng mangyari yun. Another reason kaya siguro kami ganito is "age gap". She's already 67 or 68 and ako 20, I'm like her apo na, not her daughter. My point of view or my way of thinking is different from hers, magkaibang-magkaiba. Like mother, like daughter? Nah! I don't think so.
