Reflection: Summary: Mother's Day In The Philippines

Improved Essays
One of the occasions that we always love to celebrate is Mother's day, this is because we are living far from our Mom who's been with us all the way even after we had our own living. Last year, we totally forgot to prepare a thing for mothers’ day because of our hectic schedules. Usually, me, my sisters and cousins would book a flower and chocolate delivery for my mom, auntie and grandmother or send some small gifts but last year we only managed to greet them. Hence, this year we are catching up with the three women of our lives and thought that we should take them for a vacation and give them a few days break from their overwhelming day to day tasks.

I thought that hotel wouldn’t be a good option as it may cost us a lot since we’re travelling in a group of six. With this number, it would mean that we might need to book at least 2 rooms or a suite and we might need to go out for food every now and then. As much as possible, I imagined an accommodation like a condo for rent same with the one I got when I had the entire family celebrated the New Year in Manila last 2013.

It would be more comfortable for us that way especially that we are travelling with my grandmother. I want all of that in a bit more achievable price which is why I thought of …show more content…
With this, I found a listing at Movenpick Beach in Lapu-Lapu City a perfect place to stay. This is a two-bedroom unit that could accommodate 6 persons, it has fully furnished kitchen and living area which suits our needs and not to mention their very beautiful beachfront which is very timely for summer. Although Lapu-Lapu looks a bit far from Cebu City where all of the tourist spots that we are planning to visit are located (e.g. Magellan's Cross), there has been a pretty good feedback of many taxi cabs ready to take you to the city in just a couple of minutes making the accessibility

    For the two rural babies Ponijao in Namibia and Bayar in Mongolia, they had a lot of free space and time in nature. More so for Ponijao whose mother was very attentive towards her.

    The texts The End of Remembering by Joshua Foer and “The Ordinary Devoted Mother” by Alison Bechdel, while are stylistically very different, addresses the same themes of the memory and one’s self-identity. Foer, while not as cold or detached as a scientific paper, uses a more formal and traditional tone when compared to Bechdel who approaches these themes through the lens of a graphic novel. The result of this gives two very distinct perspective on how memories affect one’s self identity. Foer’s theoretical framework of how memory functions and Bechdel’s more anecdotal approach of the effects of her personal memories on her life, provides two very distinctive perspectives on how the prioritization of memories are connected with the creation…

    Cows, for the most part, have been perceived as innocent creatures throughout the centuries. In various judicial systems, humans, too, are thought to be innocent until proven guilty. As history has shown on many occasions during times of war, innocent people are killed needlessly. In “A Mother’s Tale”, written by James Agee, a mother cow warns her cattle of the gruesome deeds inflicted upon cattle who travel out onto the range through the telling of the tale of the One Who Came Back. The One Who Came Back went through numerous trials, such as the denial of basic necessities and the sensation of being skinned alive, when he was chosen to ‘retire’ on the range.…

I love to experience the original French cuisine, the art, the fashion, the architecture, and everything Paris has to offer and their smooth language.…
