In 2 weeks' time, me and my nani will celebrate our 9th month together. Ang bilis ng panahon...it seems like yesterday when we first met, when we first sang together, when we first had our dinner date, our first fight, etc.etc....but we're proud to say that for the past 9 months of our lives, our relationship is going stronger than ever. We have learned to appreciate quality time better than quantity time. And talking about quality time,even if we just steal some time from our works during office hours ( like last tuesday, in the middle of my meeting, he texted me and said, "daan lang ako sandali sa office mo ha to give you your dessert na cake") , we managed to have fun together....kahit sandali lang na time, just seeing each other, making kulitan, laugh our hearts out,eat a quick lunch, are some moments which make our relationship more concrete...I know how busy my nani is. Yan ang buhay ng residente. Toxic. Been there, done that.
I visited him during one of his ER duties...nasa aquarium pala sila sa OM.Yung lugar ng mga ENT is inside a glass room... isolated from the rest of the departments...and may sarili silang window type aircon, hehehe(peace nani!) Tapos yung mga kaso,may mga trivial and just out of the stupidity ng mga magulang sa mga anak nila...Like the case of a 9 year old girl, who accidentaly swallowed a one peso coin while playing with it using her mouth...Yung tatay na nagdala sa kanya sa ER,buong tapang na humahangos at bitbit ang anak na nagsuka na and worried na worried coz nung pinalo daw niya sa pwet yung anak niya, tsaka nalulon nung bata yung PISO! hahahahaha.....i tried to be serious when i was conducting my "own" history of the present illness of that patient but i can't stop and laughed when me and my nani were able to sneak out of the ER! We laughed and laughed til our tummies ached....ang standing joke nga namin ng nani is that, dapat tinanong namin yung tatay kung sa tingin ba niya sa ER ng OM ay isang malaking KARNABAL (with hand gestures) dahil ang pagkakaalam namin ng nani is that, sa KARNABAL lang ginagawa ang paglulon ng pera at espada! Harharharhar!!!!!!!! those are the simple things that make our relationship stronger. TOXIC but fun...The good thing is, we both understand perfectly the situation that we have engaged ourselves into. I always tell my nani that residency is not forever...and he should not worry about me that i might feel na im " being taken for granted" coz we spend less time together coz of his training. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, pag hindi na ko nakakaintindi ng situation nya, dun siya mag-alala...coz i might be more demanding if that happens. hehehe....so far, i do understand this stage in his life and i will always be here to support him. Kahit na ilang sirkero pa ang dumating sa ER ng OM!
For the past 9 months, may mga stress relievers kami ng nana ko....We make fun of some words that are usually mispronounced by everybody...I acquired the habit of making my nani pronounce some of them and repeat them twice or thrice until we fart laughing...stress busters namin to and it they continuously add up to our thousands of "personal jokes and terms of endearment", that only me and nani can understand.minsan sa text, minsan sa phone, we happen to connect and end up smiling in the midst of our toxic jobs when we re-visit these words and pronounce them the NANI AND NANA WAY! they are as follows:
1. Blek beg - itim na bag
2. Blek berd - yung sinusulatan ng chalk...pwede ring itim na ibon
3. Propeysor - yung nagtuturo sa tin sa college
4. Pinobarbiedoll - madalas tong binabanggit ng mga pasyente sa ganitong paraan. ito yung barbiturate na anti-convulsant.
5. Binibining Undas - beauty contest ng mga taong kagimbal gimbal ang anyo.balak sumali ng nani ko dito.
6. Plez - pag nagmamakaawa ka na
7. Monosynaptic - pag ang nani ko eh tipong parang walang naririnig sa mga sinasabi ko at tuloy tuloy siya sa pagsasalita. Ex. nagpapabili ng laruan - kahit na sabihin kong di na dapat siya naglalaro ng toys na barbie doll, sige pa rin ang daldal na gusto niya ng princess barbie at yung rapunzel barbie.
8. Watusi - amoy ng ulo ng nani ko after 24 hours duty
9. Sonata - masangsang na amoy.... short for "SUnog Na Tae"
10. Muning- future pangalan ng pusa namin
11. Ipi- singular form ng IPIS
12. Barjer - yung tinapay na bilog na may karne at kamatis at lettuce at chez (keso)
13. Pichichan - manggagamot
These are just but a handful of continuously mutating vocabulary words that me and my nana are currently using to improve our relationship. Nevertheless, whatever form of communication we might adapt in the future, kahit na mag sign language kami or mag braille na lang, I will always be here to support my nani.
Love you very much. Happy 9th monthsary!
