it didn't even last one week.
You know the big mess I talked about last time? It didn't last for more than a week. But I think it did a great deal of good because I and my elder sister don't quarrel with our mother as much as before the big mess. It's like having lifted some layer obscurity within the family. Following orders from Mama doesn't seem as difficult, although sometimes, it can be really unreasonable.
You wanna know what happened? I don't know who did it. But somebody said it should be mother, not father who should give us our allowance. Of course we need our allowance. When we asked for it (accompanied by a lot of dread), she couldn't just hand it over and stop herself from giving a two-sentence sermon. The sermon consisted of: you should do your responsibilities here at home, not just asking for everything you need from us. Ok, It was consisted of only one sentence. But, you know, it was enough to break the silent war spell.
Last saturday, I asked permission from my father to got to school to study for an upcoming long test. I need to read the books that can only be found in UP. He told me that I may go, but I have to ask permission from mother too. You what she did? She gave me a thousand pesos to shop for clothes, and a hundred pesos fare for the day. It's only now that I see the good that sales can do. (SM was having a three day sale). As I said, I had to study so I resisted going to sm. I only went there on sunday night to buy clothes. I and my sister got there almost at closing time. I managed to buy two shirts for Php120 each.
And you know what? Buying my own clothes feels really good. That was the first time that I ever shopped for clothes without the guidance and money of my mother. (Technically, it was my mother's money. But I get to be the one to draw money from my pocket to purchase clothes!) She usually accompanies us, me and all my sisters, to buy clothes.
Wala lang. Good news.

Hi! It nice to know that you are quite getting along with your mom. You know, what I wrote down on my blog is not because I hated my mom or something, I just wrote it down to let my feelings about my mom out whenever she did that. I understand that our parents are not perfect but I know that they want what is best for us, after all, they had a hard time giving birth to us.
Ok, bye... :)
