It’s our 5th monthsary today. Funny how time flies. We never noticed that our relationship is already that long….It seemed as if it was just yesterday when we first met and as my nani said, the rest is mystery…..este, history hahahaha!. Lately, we’re both very “toxic” (the term we often use in med school, clerkship, internship, residency which denotes a situation that requires a significant amount of attention and effort and sort of NAKAKALASON coz it really makes you feel stressed out!) because nani is reviewing for his boards, and I am so preoccupied with my travels. Im so glad I have my nani coz stress buster ko asawa ko hehehe…when I hear him laugh at my corny jokes, it makes me feel better at the end of a tiring day kahit nasa Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao ako that’s why I always make it a point to make kulit kahit ano pa ginagawa ko and nasang lupalop ako.:-) I think this is the reason why we never noticed that our relationship is already 5 months. We both love to laugh. A whole damn lot. We laugh at funny and not so funny situations.. We make fun of untoward events during our childhood. We always look at things positively and make the most out of every opportunity that we’re together. We both love to listen to each other’s kwentos, may they be about our childhood, our teen age years, about med school, about patients that we have managed etc. etc. Oh, and the most important thing for me is that, we know how to laugh at ourselves. We both know how flawed we are but we know how to deal with them lightheartedly.
I have a lot of plans for my nana and that’s the reason why I always tease him to take further studies in entomology, archeology, plumbing, beauty culture, IT, etc. etc. coz I know how intelligent my nani is. Im always left with awe everytime he would lecture about computer systems and how things work considering the fact that he is not an IT person and did not even take up any formal courses in information technology. Matalino naman ang nani kaso may konting sakit lang pag nabobore kaya nagkakalikot ng nagkakalikot ng mga bagay bagay hanggang masira! Hahahaha!. Ako naman, I’m not a techy person and not that keen on learning about new age technology. I cant even open the text messages on his damn phone when he would ask me to read them for him while driving coz I always end up turning it off or exiting from the messages screen! I just leave those things to my nani and his inquisitive mind and restless little hands (likot ng likot!). Bottomline, my nani is a fast learner that’s why I always ask him to take further studies aside from medicine and put his foot on different waters, like culinary arts nani para matuto ka magluto!!!!!!!!!!that’s imperative coz I cant eat canned foods forever hahahaha!
Honestly, whatever my nani would want to become in the future will be acceptable to me. Im just here to be a devil’s advocate by introducing other opportunities aside from being a physician which could really be useful when we finally migrate. For now, we’re taking one step at a time and our main priority is for him to pass the medical boards this August. I believe in my nani’s intellectual capacity and I don’t worry that much for him. I just hope that the issue about the junior and the 2nd attachment to his first name will be resolved soon.
I can’t wait to be with my nani again and spend one weekend with him before the boards. Hopefully, my fever and sore throat will be taken cared of by the antibacterial that I’m taking now. Miss him terribly. His kulit. His cute little likot hands. His laughters. His hugs. His kisses. Lahat.
I told my nani that I got him a cake for our monthsary so that he will have the sense of urgency to finish the topics that he’s supposed to study for the week. Hehehe. That’s a lie. He knows Im lying. And he wont be that excited at all dahil sa cake. I know he doesn’t have a sweet tooth unlike me. Maarte yan sa pagkain. Daming HINDI MASARAP for him. Grrrrrrrrrr! And ayaw din niya ng masyadong matamis So bale wala ang pang bribe ko na cake….hmmnn… I have to think of something else. Another lie. Hahahahaha! But I really got him a kilo of dried mangoes coz I know he loves it more than me! J
For the past 5 months, it really feels great to know that I’m not alone anymore.
I have someone talk to at the end of a tiring day and tell him the ups and downs of my freaking work.
I have someone to reprimand when he doesn’t eat on time or fails to take a bath.
I have someone to text when Im bored at work.
I have someone to help me finish a grande sized caramel macchiato from starbucks which I don’t usually drink if Im not with him.
And most of all, I have someone to LAUGH with for the rest of my life.
Love you nani. Happy 5th monthsary.
