CONTEST: Honor Mom at SteemingCommunity | Mom: My Superwoman And Goddess
I envisioned myself as a child, and even as an adult, in that ancient saga, where there was a spark every day. Not just metal or nostalgia, but the whole package. The aromas and warmth it evoked brought back memories of my mother's love, those intimate moments that molded who I am today.

- Here is a poem I wrote for my mother as an expression of my love for her:
Mom: Superwoman and Goddess
She carried me in her womb for nine months
She is the sunshine in my teary eyes or saddest moments
Her love is priceless and will always exist
Life begins in her womb
The reach of her arms can provide succor
Just one hug from her could heal everything
I call her Mommy, my superwoman
A goddess in every way
Make you look at her in awe
Works hard for the family and takes care of everyone
She is the one who taught all the moral lessons and values
She is the most significant and influential person in my life
She often restricts us, children, from doing certain things
Her attempt to make us walk in the right path
The embodiment of true love, care, and sacrifices
Even when at times I am stubborn
Through hard days she keeps an eye on me
A depth of love that is unspoken
She becomes the umbrella when we get stuck in the rain
Her love is like an ocean, it has no beginning and has no end
She is unique and is irreplaceable
But always thank her for her unconditional love
Never changing for all time
Always telling me right from wrong
Though, not perfect and make mistakes
I treat her with respect and pay her tribute
For she can’t always be full of energy and forever young
- My Mom loves to propagate orchids and other flowering plants when she was still in her prime age. She has a green thumb, I don't! But she teaches me how to plant and propagate orchids and other ornamental plants. Let me show you a few photos of her plants.

I grew up in a home where many designs of needlework once belonged to my great-grandmother passed on to my mom's grandmother, to my mom's mother, to my mother, and to me. I am happy to have such lovely needleworks in our home, and as I grew older, I came to appreciate their value and the importance of safeguarding pieces that once belonged to the matriarch of our family. Little did I know that my family was not unique and that needlework is commonly passed down in families and cherished for generations and my Mom continuously teaches me. Here are some of our needlework designs:

Bedspread, table runner, and chair cover are my Mom's needlework designs while the party bag, coasters, and beanie hats are my needlework designs. With the pandemic, I have time to crochet, and I have decided to go back to what I have loved...CROCHET which I enjoyed doing when I was in grade school.
- My Mom loves to cook and bake. The following are her favorites - Rebusado, Pakbet, Pineapple-Upside-Down-Cake, King Crabs in Coconut Milk
