In My Mothers Words
Don’t let love conquer you,
You should conquer love instead,
Give some and then take some,
If it still doesn’t work,
Move on to the next.
And do not stop,
Until the shoe fits perfectly.
Yup, my mother said all that. And to be honest, I didn’t get it at first. But I eventually found out what she meant by it. If only she told me that in layman’s terms, it would have been much easier. Don’t you think? Hahahaha…

Let me correct myself: your mom is one “hot, WISE momma”!
Here’s to a great week ahead, Nell! Mwah!

Words of wisdom from Mama
Yes, it must be a perfect fit - it’s difficult to wear it if it’s not - and that’s true with love too !

katuwa kayong dalawa.

i guess sinadya niya to say that cryptically para ma-challenge ka to really think about what she said. tingin ko, you realized it at the perfect moment, just when you really needed to understand it the most.
matalino ang mga mommy that way (ehem)…
