Tribute to Mama

"i envy those people who can drink coffee anytime they feel like drinking,
but i envy more those people who are in the comforts of having their moms around"
i very well know that i am kinda' allergic to coffee
just it's aroma drives me to headache
i can hardly figure out what such unfortunate luck developed in me..
the fast-rising cafe' industry really can't get even a single cent profit from me!
recently we had a fieldtrip to Sasang-gu, a district office here in korea
there were generous people who wanted to treat us for a drink.
without any hesitation i let myself be counted in the tally of those who will avail the free drink..
not much to my surprise, iced coffee was served.
what's astonishing is the concentrated, strong taste of the drink!
i was not the only one who felt something unusual drinking it.
with the knowledge that i am reacting not so well when i drink coffee, i made it a point to just sip a little from the whole thing and i gave it to a friend who happens to be a coffee lover.

my physical and emotional turmoil started when we were on our way to the university, i felt dizzy and i really want to throw up if i had only the chance to do so. glad i contained the feeling and went back to our so-called "HQ" and stayed there to get some rest..

i tried to overcome it through the "mind over matter" therapy but it did not work..
more than the physical complaints,
i have other concerns that cannot be solved by the said strategy.
i really have to acknowledge that i have emptiness within

that no medicine can cure,
i need my mama’s presence;
her carress.
i have recalled that whenever i feel something unusual, she is always there to comfort me.
she always go an extra mile to make things easy for me.
i never realized how important she is to me until i was really far away from her.
now, whenever i feel like hugging or kissing her,
i cannot simply do that for the reason that she is miles away from me.
i miss my mom so much..
yes, i miss my other family members but i miss my mom the most!

mama,
happy mother's day!
i cannot thank God enough for you!
i love you!
