A Mother’s Pride

Hello everyone!

I am back with a new idea in mind.

Last Monday (November 30) was a Holiday so I was stuck at home doing the dishes, reading my notes and other random stuff.

I was cleaning my parent’s room when I saw my mom’s photo album. I’ve seen the photos way too many times when I was a kid but never thought of copying my mom’s teenage years treasured in those photographs. The thing is, the album is full of my mom’s beauty pageant glory days.

YES. MY MOM IS A BEAUTY PAGEANT CANDIDATE STAPLE IN HER PROVINCE...

And honestly, I think I’m the opposite of my mom. Looking at the photos, my mom has a perfect set of pearly whites, slim figure and sophisticated stature

while I’m here…in my very awkward puberty stage: READING GLASSES, BRACES and ZITS.

It’s not that I don’t like how I look. Of course, I know that this is just a phase (I hope so) and I have plenty of reasons to be thankful for the life I have right now. It’s just that I’m wondering if my mom ever expected me to be like her during her teens…Anyway, I know she’s proud of me no matter what and I am very proud to have her too.

If I were given the chance to write or conceptualize for a short film, this would be my idea:

Mother Daughter ART PRINT Mother Art by LeslieAllenFineArt on Etsy

One day when de-cluttering her room, a woman in her 50’s chanced upon her treasure box and saw her photos when she was a teen. The photos showed her glory days as a sought-after actress. She reminisced the time when she was modelling, acting and living a luxurious life. During those years, she said to herself that she wishes her future daughter to continue her legacy as an actress.

On the other hand, her daughter, a 20-something year old woman, is working in Media. But instead of working in front of the camera, she’s working behind the scenes as a director. She even said to herself that she will not be pressured of becoming an actress despite her mother's wish and will work her way to the top to live up her own name and mark in the industry.

Same field but different goal…will both ends meet?

Can their separate wishes bring one pride, love and glory?

SO THERE. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT! 

You may drop comments, reactions or suggestions on how I can improve my writing. Hehe.

Thank you very much!See you on my next post!
