When I was a child, I was very sickly. I was always absent from school and visited the clinic almost every month. And because of that, my old brother and sisters are tasked to do all the household chores and even take care of me.

Well, many think it was definitely a great excuse for me not to do home chores. I did so too when I was still a child. I thought it was a privilege beyond my imagination. When I started to gain maturity and especially I got married, I wished a different scene had happened. How I wished my mom have taught me how to cook and efficiently run the house from top to bottom. I have realized that those kinds of trainings are the one I should have not missed. I should have “ACED IT” like my brother and my sisters.

Ashamed Dog

Since I can’t bring back the time, I am now stuck here with limited cooking and cleaning abilities. I am almost 30 and I am ashamed that I could not cook for my loved ones when they have special occasions. I can cook basic viand like anything fried, grilled and some simple Filipino dishes but I couldn’t do more. As for cleaning, I can do basic things but as for techniques in making everything slate clean I am a failure.

Anyway, though I am entering the world of the 30’s, I am still in the process of learning. I hope it’s not too late to become the best mom and wife my children and my hubby could have. And I hope, I can teach my children how to do these things too so that someday they wouldn’t regret like me.

Mia is a girl’s name which is a Latin and Scandinavian short form of Maria. Which of course my mother fondly calls me when she is angry. Hehehe! Maria! Maria!

So, to make it more “social,” I decided to use the shorter version – Mia.

And yes! I am my mother’s daughter. I am proud of it as I am proud of her!!

Well, this blog is not actually a personal diary blog. It’s a blog of all things. Definitely this will journalize all my ramblings and musings about my everyday life and my opinions on others. Hehehe….

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay! By the way, you can call me Ruby or Maria. ]]> http://www.lourdesmia.com/why-lourdes-mia/feed/ 0
