Throughout this pandemic, I've been the chaperone of my mom, from grocery to shopping (and even paying bills)! Now, I'm starting to think that she only invites me to go with her coz she needs an extra hand when she goes shopping like crazy! Lol
She deserves everything!
A few years ago, we had been in a deep financial crisis coz of the negligence (or could be a fraudelent action) of someone. Borrowed a huge amount of money, paid for a few months, then suddenly that person became a ghost (well, not entirely.) I saw her being stressed and worried from that devastating situation to the point that she even loaned from her sisters.
I was a junior high school back then. Few years passed, and now, I'm in college. And I'm happy to see that she can now spend without restricting herself! In case you wanna know, she's one of a hell money-manager! She's good at budgeting! That's why we're so thankful for her amazing skills that we managed to survive a few years of not having enough to a limited budget.

Anyway, going back to our mall date. She wants me to go with her coz we'll bring my sister's laptop to a trusted repair shop. As per my mom, she said she has no technical knowledge that the technician might say. She's worried that she might agree to everything that the technician would recommend, such a cutie.
This laptop is from our aunt, hehe. So far, they've given us two (2) laptops for online classes.💕 But, those laptops have malfunctioning keyboards, so we want them to be repaired. The total cost is Php 2,800 ($55.22) for one laptop. We paid a downpayment of Php 500 ($9.86) coz the shop will be ordering the keyboard parts, and we were advised to go back on Wednesday to fix the laptop.
After getting a schedule for fixing, my mom's shopping activity went haywire. Good thing that I was there to stop her, lol. Instead, I invite her to eat first so she can think of the things she has to buy.
We went to Greenwich because we're both craving lasagna! We ordered two (2) lasagna and a small Hawaiian pizza. For the drinks, she had an iced tea, and I had water 💕 We both had lunch before going to the mall, so we only ordered light meals.
There, I talk to my mom about HIVE and she's happy about it. She's glad to hear that the 
I don't have many photos coz I'm still shy about capturing images in public. But I'm slowly working on it!
After having a full stomach, we head to the department store. She has been finding a good big wallet since then because her Girbaud wallet was ruined already. I swear, if you could see it, you'll immediately think that it survived the extinction of dinosaurs, HAHA.
I urge her to buy what she wants coz she deserves it, and it's from her own money, not from my dad. (Though she purchased rubber shoes two weeks ago, hehe.)
She ended up purchasing this maroon SEIKO that has a texture of genuine leather for a discounted price of Php 1,300 ($25.64). She was pretty hesitant about the price, but she deserves it anyway. So, I reminded her that this is one of the few times that she allowed herself to buy for her own good. 💕 No need to worry about what we could have for that amount, hehe. We still have our (her kids) own supplies that need to be used. 💜
This is all for now. I hope you got a good read! Sorry for the continuous blogs. The school has now started and I've no idea when I will have time to write again. So every time I have free time, I write. 😊
Note: All the pictures aside from external sources are from my phone. I edit them using Photoshop 2018 and Canva. And as always, have a great day, everyone!
All are still blurry for her now, and she knows she has a lot more to learn. Please educate & share information with her when she overlooks a few things. 🤍

She likes to share a few, you might say she tells everything but trust me, she reserves a few for herself 😉
If you like her writing, could you tell her, please? She has been longing for appreciation for quite some time.
