Meeting my future mother-in-law!

We had dinner at Yakimix yesterday with his mom and dad. It was my first time meeting his mom and I was damn nervous! I couldn't really decide on what to wear. I asked a lot of people before finally settling for one of my dresses. I wanted to leave a good impression so I opted to wear a more conservative dress. When I got there I really didn't know how to react. Bam was in a sour mood. He was very tired. They went to Tarlac and back and dinner in Manila straight afterwards. We had a bit of an argument over our meetup place. He criticized my dress and told me that if he was me he'd burn my dress. He told me I looked like a ragdoll and that I was dressing up too old for my age. He called my dress the mommy-dress. I was hurt by his comments. I was already put off my our earlier argument and I was getting very nervous. On top of that, he made me feel ugly. As we pick up some items from the supermarket, he continued taunting my dress. When we finally made out way to Yakimix, he was still going on and on with my dress. We laughed a bit about it but suddenly, I broke down in tears. I really did think I looked pretty in my dress. I went over it for over a day and I even asked my friends to help me pick yet all efforts were wasted. The dress, his mood and my anxiety got the better of me and I cried. It took sometime before I calmed down. At least by then, his mood already improved.

And so there we were, in front of Yakimix, looking for his parents. And a few minutes after, the moment of truth, the introduction. Though I was nervous, I did manage to get a hold of myself; said my greetings and "mano po". I don't really remember much of what we talked about but I think things went smoothly. Hehe ;)

I wasn't able to go back home that night because it was rather late so they invited me to sleep over instead. I couldn't say no so I did. Staying at Bam's house til morning made me a bit closer to his mom. She was rather easy to talk to. She's very nice and accommodating. I guess Tito told her stories about me. She said she hopes that it will be Bam and I in the future and that Tito really likes me for Bam. She added that whoever's Bam's choice is, she'll support him all the way. We also talked about various things; her life abroad, her mom, their life before I met them. I'm really happy I felt minimal awkwardness towards his mom. And I really hope I made a good impression. :)
