4th monthsary thoughts

4th monthsary na namin!

It’s our 4th monthsary this coming June 8. I can’t believe how time flies. I can’t believe that in such a short period of time, me and my hon have dreamt of numerous things that we will do together as partners, as companions for life, and as lovers. I’m so proud of this relationship because of its stability and long term plans that we always hold on to whenever trials come our way.

At this point, we are always planning for my honey's future career moves. I’ve been convincing him to take up dermatology instead of obstetrics and gynecology for residency. I know the time constraints of being an OB resident because I also thought of that specialty many years ago. 36 hours on duty, 12 hours pre-duty and 8 hours post duty. If he will take up that specialty, we will be spending less time together and the decision to live in just one house will be futile if we wish to spend more time together. It worries me coz I became so attached to him and I might really go nuts if he will be in the hospital most of the time as demanded by that freaking specialty. I know for a fact that my hon has to decide sooner or later if he will pursue that specialty or go into something that is more “benign” like dermatology….:-) Radiology, pathology, and other non-toxic specializations were also suggested but my hon is really bent on caring for unglamorous and hysterical preggy women, manageing bleeding vaginas, and getting his olfactory nerve desensitized with the smell of lochia.

---> hon ayaw ko maging halaman like the derma people, ayoko magmukhang tanga like the radio people, yoko mangamoy formalin like the patho people. we'll be one ones advocating derma OB-GYN nani.

One thing that I’ve learned from this relationship is to be more accepting of my hon’s individuality. Before we met, we have our own plans and aspirations in life. It is just a matter finding means to merge them together so that we can continue to grow as individuals and professionals in our chosen fields. Im proud to say that we haven’t had any misunderstanding for the past months…a good sign of a stable relationship hehehe....

----> ang hon pag nagagalit: "tama ba yan? ha?", or "di ka kumakain ng gulay!, tatawag ako kay mama para pagsabihan ka", "papaluin kita dyan", "KUMAIN KA!" "wala ka na pera"
----> ang hon pag naglalambing: "sniff, sniff, sniff... bahu ng nani", "di ka naligo hon, maligo ka, cge sa fri ka na lang maligo", kadalasan mag smile sya (ubod ng tamis na smile) tapus kikiligin lang ako. hehehe


A wild suggestion during one of our conversations in the wee hours of the morning was to find a specialization that would care for pregnant patients with dermatologic problems. If I can turn back the hands of time, I would persuade Williams ( the author of Williams Obstetrics book) to make a subspecialty of obstetrical dermatology or gynecological dermatology or dermatologic obstetrics or WHATEVER as long as it is a benign specialty that my honey likes and is not compromising to our relationship in terms of quality and quantity time. Wishful thinking…..

Nevertheless, should my hon opt to toxify himself with gravid patients or would choose to care for patients who want to beautify themselves with glutathione and mesotherapy, I know he can pull it through cause he’s one hell of talented and witty physician. I would definitely long for his presence in our future house always when he’s on duty ( coz he changes tv channels a lot and even if he wakes up early in the morning and gets uneasy in bed {moves his legs, kicks, etc. etc} while I am still in my REM sleep), but as I said, it’s just a matter of accepting and adjusting to my honey’s chosen lifestyle as a future obstetrician…….

---> and husband to you naniboy!!!

I think it’s better to have a honey who will always be on duty and has tics (like a mosquito larva aka KITI KITI) and ADHD and who will never allow me to stay in bed til 2 pm than to be single and perpetually attached to a cold, lifeless, underused bed….:-)


----> hon di na magiging underused kama, kse lage magulo sa kakulitan mo, and bahu kse lage ako hihiga dun na di naligo hehehe. hon kshit anu gawin mo, kahit san ako magpunta, you will never feel empty again... i have found you and ill stick with you like bugs would. hehehe love you

Happy 4th monthsary hon! Love you so much.
