ok so its Vee-yo! or Vayo! or Veeh-oh! whatever!

i rest my case on the following...

1. i admit... i have trouble pronouncing vaio. but i really thought it was pronounced as vayao as in bayaw, langaw, gawgaw. i have learned through extensive reading of my new laptop's manual, that VAIO actually stands for VIDEO and AUDIO INTEGRATED OPERATIONS. --- i bet my nani doesnt know that!

2. DSM IV-TR criteria for Attention Deficit Disorder: Symptoms of INATTENTION (hmmm... my attention span is 2 hours), HYPERACTIVITY (i certainly am... i admit) and IMPULSIVITY (not me!). i should have either 2 of the following criteria to be diagnosed as ADHD. hmmm...i have inattention and hyperactivity, so i am? really? an ADHD? whaaaaa!!!!

3. when i was a child, whenever i have a new toy, i figet about it. i would play with it until it runs out of batteries. i would even brake it down only to build it up again. so i guess my overly anticipation of this laptop has a tributary. need i say more hon?

------------------------

im glad my husband has learned to blog, and i can sense that he is getting used to it now that he is able to discuss not only me (his fav subject) but about his work. im so proud of my husband with the way he look for means of helping people. and im so proud to be associated with him as his partner ( at least kahit papano nababawasan ang sungay ko). it has been barely two weeks since we last met. thanks to this stupid review! hmp! i feel like this is the longest time of my life. all this preparation, all this studying, all this anticipation. i cant wait for it to end (of course with me passing the boards). i cant wait to see my husband this weekend and spend time with him.

if am an ADHD, my hon is the OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). mantakin mo ba namang bumili out of nowhere ng contacts na akala ko ittry ko lang, in the end he simply bought it. another was when he went to greenhills, he bought a watch for me that even though its an imitation still was worth so much money. minsan pa pag naisipan nyan, tatawag sa mcdo and oorder ng breakfast at 1AM only to find that its not available. whenever he make orders to his men, he would reiterate his concerns twice, thrice, many times, so kung ikaw boss mo sya, wla ka na magagawa kung di sumunod. hehe. ayaw nya ng makalat, ayaw nya ng mainit, ayaw nya ng mabahong driver (manong driver kaw ba yan?), ayaw nya ng balahurang boss (kilala mo na un hon), ayaw nya ng di kumakain ng gulay, ayaw nya ng may nakakalimutan, ayaw nya pag matagal ako sumagot ng phone, ayaw nya pag naghahang ung phone ko, mabilis mag alala pag di ako nakakapagtext agad.. ttwag agad. but the best of it all... ang hon ko, mahilig mag tantrum... parang mas bata pa sakin. haaaay. for that he is... i love him entirely.

i miss you!!!!

Sony Vaio and my Hon

Sony Vaio

For the past week, me and my hon have been arguing, shouting, calling names (practically fighting over the phone hahahahaha!) about the way to pronounce this laptop called SONY VAIO. He got this new “toy” and was tinkering with it the whole day. He even asked permission if he can take a day off from his review classes so that he can have an appreciation of his new gadget by staying home yesterday. Knowing that my hon has no gratification delay trait, I said yes with a deep sigh (haaayyyy!).


A few days from now, we are celebrating our 4th monthsary. This has been the longest time that we have not seen each other coz my hon is really bent on getting things done this coming August 2008. I know that with his determination and hard work, he can achieve his plans (wag lang atakihin ng ADHD J!). He always complains about “basa na lang ako ng basa! Puro Basa!” coz I always ask him to stay away from MALLS since he has an inborn affinity to these establishments. I always tease him that he was born with wheels on his feet coz he really finds it difficult to stay in one place, even in his house, he messes up his mom’s bed, literally swims on his own and doesn’t take a bath on time (hahaha!joke joke nani!) coz he’s damn busy making kulit to everyone especially ygo. Nevertheless, I know that he has put his heart and mind on the coming medical boards. Goodluck hon!

Going back to VAIO…my hon insists that it should be pronounced as vayao. I insist on vayo. He was firm on viyao (nag mutate na!). I held on to vayo. Again, with great conviction, he insisted that it should be said as vayao (parang bayaw, gawgaw, langaw daw!)…. He dared me to ask everyone else about its damn pronunciation. And I did. I even thought of bringing Ernie Baron back to life, the human and walking encyclopedia, in order to verify this issue between me and my hon. But Everyone says its VAYO. Tony Gonzaga even mentioned it in PBB when an evictee was given with the same model of laptop. Eventually, I realized that my hon cannot pronounce it well and that was the reason why he cant accept the fact that it should be vayo, vayo, vayo, vayo…..I asked him to repeat after me many times before he got my point. And the point of everyone else in this world that it’s a SONY VAIO. Speech defect is not common among ADHD patients. If my hon is also afflicted with it, well, I guess I should accept it. If his tongue needs to be scraped like a parrot in order for it to speak and mimic the way humans talk, then, I’d gladly bring my nani to a veterinarian. It’s what you call LOVE. Loving every bit of my parrot, este, honey. Happy 4th monthsary. Love you!

my nani is a blogger na!!! yey!

in response to my hon's blog entry (co-author na sya! galing!)...

yes were nearing our 4th monthsary, im so proud coz i havent been giving him a hard time lately. before it was all about me. i keep on making tantrums on days we cant see each other, times when he would come over MCM and bring me food but cant stay long, and especially that eventfult holy thursday when he go super angry when i drove down quezon city at the middle of my duty just to apologize (it turns out he even got angrier! hehe). ive been a stupid, selfish (fish in the sea) brat during our first months together. i guess its because i love him so much that i tend to do stupid things. but he taught me quite well. whats good about him is that he never tires teaching me. i have so much to learn from our relationship and slowly but surely i get to imbide everything. thanks hon.

im going through a tough time right now with the coming medical board exams in august. being with my honey has changed my view of the boards. before i wanted to pass for my parents, now i wanted to pass for him. like what he said, we do have a lot of plans together and me passing the board exams would meen the start of those dreams coming true. my anxieties aboout the exam has always been eased by my nani. he makes it a point to make me beleive that i can do it, he pushes me to study, and he gives me confidence. he is my ultimate driving force. what were having right now is pure self sacrifice for the both of us. we cant be together as often as we want to be coz like what he would always tell "MAG-ARAL KA, PURO KA LAKWATSA!" hehehe. its really hard to be apart from someone you long to be with. quezon city and paranque seems to be miles away. but the good thing about it is that our communication is still intact. a simple text, a short phone call, bridges our lives for now. i cant wait until this exam is finished. we have so many plans like travelling, coz my nani knows i love to travel. hehehe

i have already thought of the consequences of being an OB resident, in fact its a problem i usually think every night before i sleep. i know how tasking an OB is, and i know how OM would take away our time together. i even thought of doing corporate physician as an avenue for future plans. i still havent decided yet. but one thing is for sure nothing can ever keep me apart from my love. everyday i daydream of driving him to and from his work, cook him dinner when he gets home, massage him (which will lead to something i know), watch tv and dvd with him, do groceries together, fix our house. actually much from my plan of being an OB is for us to get rich and make us the most beutiful house i can give him. i love to give him gifts, and i would love to give my husband everything that he needs and wants. and if ever we have enough money, we would like to help our own families, and those we promised to help (like the poor and needy).

its really great to have someone who has so much passion for life like my hon, and im glad im sharing this life with him. i love him so much. and i miss him. i miss so much about him that i stare at our pics every night, and wishing everything will soon come into place. for whatever the outcome of the exam is, i know my husband will always be there like he has always been to me. i love you naniboy!!!! thanks for blogging. this blog is now officially yours too. wag mo lang ako aawayin dito ha. hehehe. wag mo post yung mga pics natin tapus tatakpan mo lang ung sau ng itim na box or kukulayan para kunwari iba. hahaha!!! i thank god everyday for having you!!!!

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.

Yehey! nakaka pag blog na ko!

Trial lang to Hon ko! ::-) love you!
