Accompanying My Mother Shopping: Another Bonding Moment

Happy Wednesday Hivers!

One of the simple moments I truly enjoy is accompanying my mother while shopping. Even though it may seem like an ordinary activity, it always becomes a meaningful bonding experience for us. We get to spend quality time together, talk about random things, share laughs, and help each other decide what to buy.

During Mother’s Day, my mother received cash gifts from my sisters, and she told me that she wanted to buy a new dress. My mother really loves wearing dresses, especially whenever she goes to church. In fact, she always prefers to wear a dress when attending mass. Since she had received some money, the first thing she wanted to buy was a dress that she could happily wear.

So we agreed to buy the dress in Ormoc City because there are more choices there since the malls are bigger. Aside from that, we also wanted to go because it had been a long time since we last visited the city and spent time strolling around together.

Before we went shopping, we first had lunch because it was almost 12 noon. I brought her to Mang Inasal since it had been a long time since we last ate there. I ordered grilled chicken for her.

I also prefer going out with a senior citizen because they get a discount and can use the priority lane, so there’s no need to wait in long lines.

After eating, we went straight to the department store to look for dresses. Luckily, it didn’t take long because we quickly found styles and colors that she liked. After trying them on, she decided right away to buy both dresses since she found them very comfortable.

After buying her dresses, we just strolled around the mall. We took the opportunity to enjoy the moment since we don’t often get to visit malls like this. Our place is quite far from large shopping centers compared to Cebu, where you can easily walk to one. Still, it’s fine because we also have our little paradise at home. I usually prefer nature over malls, but sometimes I can’t deny that I also miss going to malls, especially when I need to buy something.

Our bonding was very simple, yet we both enjoyed it. Even in small and ordinary moments like this, it feels special because what matters most is the time we spend together.
