Mama's First-ever Carnival Experience! :)

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Nothing beats the feeling of giving happiness to the people you love. I felt an extreme emotion with my mom playing together for the first-time ever! I was a bit teary last night when I brought my mom to the funfair at "Kasadya sa SRP" with my sister and @indayharagwapa. I was flabbergasted to know that it was her first time in a carnival! When she screamed her head off I intently looked at her and felt like she was a kid enjoying her first rides for the very first time in 45 years! It was fulfilling to see her smiling and laughing with every ride that we tried. I've never seen her having that much fun in years.

My mom is the youngest of her 8 siblings. Her mother was a plain housewife and her father was a carpenter. Her parents died when she was 15 years old and she got married at 17 years old. She had me when she was 18 and when she was 26 years old, she had the 5 of us which means, she never had the chance to enjoy the luxuries in life. When we had our small house in 2016, she cried while thanking me for working hard for my family. My dad passed away when we were young so as the eldest of the family, I took over the responsibilities of my dad which I am enjoying at the moment. At first it was never fun at all but as I grow older, I got wiser and stronger and has been enjoying everything that God gave me.

As the eldest in the family, I am feeling the urge of providing everything for my family including education, clothes, food, shelter, literally everything. I feel so blessed that God never forsake me that he answers all my prayers from the smallest to the biggest favor. He never failed to provide my family with the things we need. He might not give all at the moment but eventually, at His perfect time He always stays as the God who provides. All credits belong to HIM.

BUMP CAR FEE: 50 pesos

She supposed to drive the bump car because we payed for 4 people which means we should take 4 bump cars but she got panicked because she didn't have any idea on how to operate it. She was just laughing the whole time so I took over and drove it for her. She looked like a high school student laughing at every bump. She was so cute. She was the noisiest person in the ring. All people were looking at us laughing too. Her laugh was contagious. She obviously had a great time.

PIRATE SHIP FEE: 40 pesos
We took a video while riding this one. This was the most fun ride. My mom almost peed on her pants and got angry with the operator. She lectured him right after the ride because he was too fast my mom said. But it was okay actually. You know, mothers always lecture. hahaha...

RIDE FEE: 40 pesos
This is the easiest one. It's like a smaller roller coaster. I think this is for kids. My mom loved it so much. LOL!

This is the craziest ride in town! This is too much for me. Worse than a roller coaster. Gosh! I wouldn't want to take my own life with this.

RIDE FEE: 50 pesos
We were too tired already so we didn't try this (and the water is too dark). If you plan to try, you should bring extra shirts.

There is no perfect family. We had ups and downs. We fight, we cry, we laugh but the end of the day, we are always there for each other. :)

Thank you so much for reading!
