The most wonderful and happiest end for me is the Weekend! I would always look forward to it like a child who longs for ice cream. I look forward to the weekend as if my life depends on it.
Turning back to the hands of time, I was a daughter who is very clingy to her mom. I would never last a day without my mom by my side. Of course, I had to learn to live without her presence every day especially when I started spending my days at the Uni. Alas! I've mastered adjusting. I have adjusted to the fact that my mother won't be with me always to cook meals, and provide me with the company every day. But, I wasn't fully independent as I can say because every weekend, I would rush to go home. Yeah, it's a wonderful day for me when Saturday comes because I would have time to see my mom and the rest of the family members.
When my niece came into our lives, I was given more reasons to come home every weekend even when it was costly. I would still look forward to coming home every weekend.
So what are we up to every weekend?
Random Saturday back home
First up, food tripping. It's during the weekend that every one of us is present at home so we make wise use of time bonding by eating. It's the most wonderful way to bond. My niece and my sister aren't in the picture but I'm sure they're there enjoying the food too. I love it when we're together because we can talk about a lot of things over food. It's one of the times I treasured the most. Bonding with my parents and siblings is what I always look forward to every weekend.
Biking with my niece
This was taken months ago when my niece's bike was new. She was hesitant to practice at first but I urged her for fun purposes. We got bored while lying St the bed back home so we opted to enjoy the fresh air outside using her bike. At least she can learn the skill and have a physical activity rather than just playing with her mobile phone all day. My cousin accompanied us too. He just joined my niece so she would be more determined to kick the pedal because she has someone she can model. I love spending time with her doing a lot of things.
Bonding with grandma
Grandma is already old and alone. So, I make sure to make time for her every weekend too. I usually bring my niece with me so she'll be delighted too. She would spoil us with food just like any grandparents would do. When I visit her, I usually talk about things with her. She would talk about her past and I would always record her voice and take a photo with her. She's my lifesaver. Someone that appreciates and rewards my efforts. Someone I can turn to whenever I have financial problems. She is never the grumpy kind of grandma and that's what I love the most about her.
And random clicks with my sibs
I love spending time with my siblings at home than spending my weekend outside with friends. At home, we can cook our food without spending too much unlike when we go out with friends, it's costly and I tend to buy things impulsively. I prefer my siblings' company as they are always with me and will always stand by me no matter what. I got them like how they got me. Accountability is rarely seen in a friend-to-friend relationship.
Three more days to go until the weekend. I can't wait to spend time with my family again.
