Nakakastress ang mga in laws!  Nakakaloka!  I do understand na bawat tao, iba iba ang ugali, iba iba ang pag-iisip.  Pero kung gaya ng mga taga-China, eh talaga namang usapan!!!

Tip sa mga babaeng wala pang asawa!  Magmatandang dalaga na lang kayo, kaysa naman mag-asawa kayo ng taga-China!  Promise kakaiba sila mag-isip.

Nakakainis... Ni minsan, hindi ko naramdaman na kinampihan ako ng asawa ko. Ako, kahit alam kong mali, iniintindi ko na lang ang asawa ko at bienan ko. Pero sila, hindi nila ako iniintindi.

Sarili kong magulang, kadalasan, hindi ko sinusunod pag alam kong mali. Pero ang asawa ko lalo na bienan ko, oo lang ako. Pero eto nanaman, ako nanaman ang masama.

Ang hinihiling ko lang, kampihan naman ako ng asawa ko. Buti na lang may Ivan ako. Kasi hindi ko na kaya.

My husband had just came back from China. He bought me a polo shirt and a jogging pants. I look good on the shirt and pants. But...

Husband: Try wearing the shirt and the pants and see if it fits you. I bought those for you. Those are not cheap.
Mother-in-law: The pants, hmmmm it might me too long or too tight to you.
Me: (Joking) Maybe both!
Husband: Ma (referring to her mother), if it doesn't fit her, it's yours.

After wearing the shirt and pants...

Me: Wow, the polo and the pants is so soft and does fit my body. And I doesn't look fat wearing these.
Husband: Hahaha the pants is long. Ma, the pants is yours.
Mother-in-law: Oh no, she can use pins on the length problems.
Husband: No, come on, the pants is yours.
Me: It's okay. Anyway, I can't always wear them.
Mother-in-law: Hmmmmm...
Husband: Or if you (referring to her mother) like, we can give it to your daughter.
Mother-in-law: Yes, I think that's better.

Bad trip!!! The pants is for me. It's just about 3 1/2 inches extra long! I can fix that problem. Bad trip. Gusto lang talaga nya ibigay yun sa nanay nya. Shitttttttttttttttttt!!!

This is my "very personal blog", so I can do or say what I want.

Tang-ina!!!!! Lagi na lang ganyan! Shittttttt! Sa isip ko, bibili ako next time ng pants gaya nun. Kahit umabot ng libo, since libo ren naman halaga nung pants na dapat eh for me. Sinabi pa sa phone na may shirt and pants ako. Then pag dating nya, sa nanay nya mapupunta grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Tang-ina!!!

My husband has started the car.  But our baby Ivan is still on his lap.

Mother-in-law:  Give Ivan to me.

Husband:  (Seems doesn't care on what his mother told her, started the car and started to drive.)

Me:  (Seems doesn't care if mother-in-law is present.  On a shouting voice...)   Haven't you heard mother told you?  Give Ivan to her!!!

Husband:  I can drive while holding Ivan.

Me:  (On a soft voice)  But you shouldn't drive while holding a baby.

Husband:  Don't worry...

Mother-in-law:  Before, he's holding "uy-uy" while driving.

Me:  But it's still not right to hold a baby while driving.  (Then talks to husband...)  If you want, you can ask your friends.   They'll tell you it's wrong.

Then, they all keep quiet.   I was on the back seat, frowning, that's why they didn't see my face.

Buysit!!!  What a new year!!!  Kumain nga kami sa labas.  Kasama naman namin yung isang pamangkin ng husband ko...

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

On Dec. 31, 2008 night...

My husband - Invited on some dinner parties.

My husband's niece - Sumama para makapasyal.

Me - Pinasama para maging "yaya" nung bata.  As in "yaya".

I need to carry the 4 or 5 year old kid all the time.  Kasi takot sya sa aso.  As in hindi nangangagat and cute na aso.  Pati yung sa toy dog takot sya!  Pag iihi sya, ako ren.

Pag-uwi, ako pa ren ang nakaupo sa likod!

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

We'll be going to the party.  Nelson is driving.  There's me and the kid... So who got to sit in front of the car?

Conversation in Chinese converted to English as perfect as possible:

Kid:  I want to sit in front.

Husband:  Okay, Duwa (that's me) sit on the back.

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

Then it's kind of raining a little.  So ako pa nagpapayong dun sa bata. Ako nag assist sa kanya all the way.  Pinayungan ko habang buhat buhat ko.   Ang bigat bigat.  Ano ba yan!!!

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

The kid slept with us that night.  There's the bed.  And there's the "kutson" on the floor.

Mother-in-law:  (to my husband)  Ivan, I and Uy-Uy (the kid's chinese name) would sleep on the floor (sa kutson).  You and duwa on the bed.

Husband:  No, duwa would sleep with you and Ivan.  Uy-uy would sleep with me.

Me:  (On my mind) tang-ina mo!!! anak mo ba yan?

I'm blogging paid post worth $12.00.

Mother-in-law:  Uy-uy, come here.

Uy-Uy:  I would sleep with Uncle.

And so, my husband has been telling and saying that Uy-Uy would sleep with him.  But at the end, my mother-in-late shouts at Uy-Uy.  So I end up sleeping on the bed beside my husband.

Oh shit! What a husband!!!

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

It's Jan. 1, 2009.  The whole family went out to lunch out.  We're all complete.  My husband and I, Ivan, my parents-in-law... and Uy-Uy again!!!  Her parents has been her to go home because they had ordered Jollibee.

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

I don't think my husband got any earnings even a cent on Dec. 2009.  And I think he only earns so little last Nov. 2009.  And then so all my salary were spent.  About my 13th month, I just hope they hadn't spent all of it.

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

Bukas, Jan. 2 na.  yung bata, sa amin pa ren ata matutulog.  Shit!!!!!  Tang-na talaga!!!

Me: Why is he not so happy?  He is saying something.

Mother-in-law:  He's sleepy.

Me:  But he's smiling and laughing, but he really seems saying something. Maybe we should change his diaper.

Mother-in-law:  I have just changed it few minutes ago.

Then mother-in-law makes Ivan sleep.

Mother-in-law:  I'm going to sleep now.

Me:  Okay.

When mother-in-law goes out of the room, I quickly check baby Ivan's diaper.  He really has his poopoo on his diaper!

Why can't she check if Ivan has his poopoo.  It's always the last thing she checks.  And does changing a baby's diaper means that the baby would not be having his poopoo soon?

Hayyyy nako!!!  Ako nanaman, lagi na lang ako!!!

SCENARIO ONE:  Ako nanaman ang masama?

Yesterday, brother-in-law came with his youngest daughter.  The girl is about 3 years old, sa pagkakaalala ko.  Pag yung batang yun eh nandito sa bahay, binabantayan ko talaga anak ko.  Nasa stroller baby ko, tulak-tulak ng husband ko.  Then umaakyat yung girl dun sa white foot tray ng stroller....

Me:  Nelson.

Hubby:  Hmmm?

Mother-in-law:  Hawak lang naman.  Wala namang masama dun.

Hayyyy nako.  Anong hawak lang.  Hindi nila nakita.  Kasi itong asawa ko, kung saan-saan nakatingin!!!

SCENARIO TWO:  Ako nanaman ang mali?

This night 8:00pm, baby Ivan was crying.  He was sleepy and he wants some milk for his sleep time.  But his feeding time should be on 9:30pm.

Me:  Kakain na sya?

Mother-in-law:  Hindi.  Antok na sya kaya nanggugulo.  Gusto ng gatas para matulog.

After a few moments, nakatulog ren sya without giving him milk.  pagpatak ng 8:30pm, nagising at nag-iiiyak.  I'm having my dinner.  Hubby ko ang may karga kay baby, binigay kasi ni mother-in-law sa kanya si baby.

Mother-in-law:  Gusto nanamang kumain.

Then mother-in-law went to do something else.  Hindi ko alam kung ano ginawa nya.  Then a little later.

Me:  Baka tumae.

Husband:  Tignan mo.

Me:  Sige.

So I washed my hands and took Ivan from hubby.  Then I checked kung tumae sya.  Wala.  Then mother-in-law came.

Mother-in-law:  Sinabi ko namang gusto na nya kumain.  Kahit ikaw pa magkarga, hindi titigil yan.  Papapali-palit pa ng tao, wala namang mangyayari!!!

Then she took Ivan from me.  Hubby "automatically" prepared Ivan's milk.

Ano ba?!?!?!  Hindi pa nga nya oras kumain di ba.  Masama bang icheck kung tumae sya.  Palibhasa sila, after half hour or so before they realize na tumae si Ivan!!!

Napansin ko lang, pag ako buong araw nag-aalaga kay Ivan kasi wala akong work, masaya and hindi sya masungit.  Nung last Monday walang pasok, so 3 days ako nag-alaga sa baby ko all day and all night, masaya si mother-in-law.   Nagiging masungit ba sya sa akin kasi hindi ko naaalagaan ang anak ko, and dahil napapagod na sya.  Sinabi ko naman, magreresign na lang ako para maalagaan ko anak ko.  Ayaw naman nya.

Husband: Ma... if it is still brown-out later at night, I guess I would need to buy some gas. What do you think? I'll make it full tank. Then we make the baby sleep in the car.

Mother-in-law: And so how much is a full tank of gas?

Husband: A thousand pesos, about that.

Mother-in-law: What if the lights don't come back until the next two days.

Husband: Or we can all go to Sogo and rent a room there. A room just cost about 500 pesos.

Me (thinking): Does your mother know what Sogo is? And an overnight for a 500 pesos in Sogo? Whites lies are sometimes good... I know...
