To all the precious women on Earth


Let's admit it, they are the most precious women in this world. No one could ever top all the hardships they've gone through for us to witness our very own existence here. We owe them everything. No matter how annoying they can be, they will always be that one person we would run to in times of need. No matter how much pain we've caused them, they will always be that person who would never cease to accept us with open arms.

Their love is immeasurable. No love by a lover, or by a best friend, can ever beat the love our mothers are giving to us. We are the best thing that has ever happened to their lives and they would do anything to protect us.

A simple greeting and some gesture wouldn't be enough to give them back all the love for all these years. But one thing's for sure, as long as we keep on loving them and being the best person we could be, it could mean everything for them.

So for all the great mothers out there,

16 and a quarter years ago, there exist no nudgehead yet, no blissful chanting to read, no boo boo, but someone so special, so gorgeous, and loving, endured everything, sacrificed everything just to give this nudgee a chance to see the world,-- for her lifetime to see, for her lifetime to bear.

This someone so special, who I owe my life, is no other than my own mother. My mother who has been, for me, one of the most gorgeous women alive in her early 40s [as I type this anyway].

I admit that my mom and I haven't been the perfect team, we argue, we fight, we cry, and have been causing so much pain to each other but see, even if we always have these dim issues, we are so not the near-perfect worst mother and daughter. We still have our happy moments. We still laugh like crazy people, we shop like crazy people, and we somehow bond like crazy people.

Even if at some point in my life I've said how I hate my mom, I know in my heart that I couldn't possibly hate her. I mean, she's given almost everything for me, her only child. And I know no one could ever love me so much than my own mother.

You will always be my mom... I love you so much.
