"Bu gidişatın sonu NANAYYYYY..."

The titular Nanay of Hi Nay fame herself 🥺🥹

This was my mother's reply under the announcement for the upcoming new episode!

Hi Nay = Hi Mom. Nanay = Mother, Nay = Mom

Nanay has been unbelievably supportive of the work we do. Thank you Nanay!

TAPANG-TAPANGAN

Saliwang mga tsinelas, buhol-buhol na buhok, at hindi pa napapalitang damit na kahapon pa soot. Nanakit na dibdib at mabigat na loob. Akala ko ay sa mga pelikula lang nangyayari ang buhay na masyadong magusot. Mali pala.

Binabatas ng mata ang ilang hakbang papunta sa pinto ng silid ng manggagamot. Nagamit na yata ang lahat ng luha para magpatulo pa ng panibago't ang iniisip ko na lang na sana ay maayos ka at di tulad ko na nanghihina sa takot.

Pakiramdam ko ay tinatanong ako ng tadhana kung ilang pinto pa ang magsasara sa aking harapan bago ko amining hindi ako matapang. Ilang sampal pa ng katotohanang totoo ang lahat bago ko mapag-isipan. Gumising man lang sana kung bangungot lang. Mahirap magtapang-tapangan.

Gagawin natin ang lahat. Gagaling kang agad. Magkandasali-saliwa mang parati ang aking panyapak. Kakayanin ang lahat. Kahit pa sa pahinga ay tuluyan nang umawat. Magiging mabuti rin ang lagay at gagaling ang lahat ng sugat. Wag tayong susuko nang hindi lumalaban. Hindi kita susukuan. Basta't patuloy ka ring lalaban.

Kung ang pag-amin ng pagkatakot ang paraan para tumapang—mula ngayon, para sayo ay magtatapang-tapangan.

Haces que mi corazón arda como infierno, haces que la pasion sea una llama eterna un fuego perpetuo.

Haces tantas cosas en mi, mueves todo en mi desde mis pensamientos, hasta todos mis sentidos.

Nunca dejaré de escribir de todo lo que me ha es sentir.

Me gusta dejar evidencia de ti, de tus amor, de tu forma de ser.

Eres eterna en mi corazon mi amor será siempre tuyo.

Todo mi ser te pertenece

I had a dream about my mother and her mother.

I had a dream about my mother and her mother: the grandmother I called "Nanay". Waking and working had blurred the dream, but I still remember her crinkled paper skin, her stroller, her slow steps, and her wheelchair when she could no longer walk. Her shawl. Her thin hair. Then, I think I dreamed about my mother. Her soft nature. Her child-like behavior. My immediate thought about the dream was the reality of aging, and that my own mother isn't getting any younger. Her grey hairs and wrinkled face are cruel constant reminders. I hope for a future where she will always be lively even into her very old age. I want her to have warm sweaters in cold winters and air-conditioning when summer arrives. I want the time to stop. When I look at her now, I am flung back in time when she was spoon-feeding me my favorite different-shaped pancakes. When each hurt I had would be soothed in her embrace. That she will always be at home, waiting for me. I am aching, wishing, for time to slow down, please. As a 29-year-old unemployed weakling, this hurts me more. Her old age is a reminder to be consistent with whatever plans I have to fix myself. That it is my turn to provide for her and her needs. That I need to be strong for her. If not for me, then for her.

The second thing I realized upon reflection was that Nanay had my crying ass beat. Even when she was frail and her body was not working optimally, she still did her best to show up to work, just because she preferred being useful to being an invalid. I love her for that.

Chiquitita

Happy birthday, Nay!

This is your 2nd birthday that we're celebrating without you. We still kept the tradition of setting up our year end party on your birthday.

I miss you so much.

I miss our petty discussions whenever I'd ask you early on what you want to prepare for your birthday. I miss your cooking. Since you left they are all looking up to me as if you've shared with me your recipes when I just enjoyed them everytime and I never paid attention. I tried cooking your Caldereta but it's not the same. Tita Aylene confirmed that it tasted good but it is different from how you used to cook it. "Anak ka nga ng nanay mo, galing magluto. May sariling style. Iba ito sa lasa na gawa ni nanay mo pero masarap", was what she said when she tasted it today. I wish you could taste it too so I can get validation if you liked my cooking. Because I loved how you were so proud and happy when I cooked you paella negra and peri-peri chicken before.

I miss how we'd look for places to stay during the holiday. I miss how you'd always pressure me to file my leaves early on so we can schedule it immediately. We skipped that this year. It's just gonna be Tatay and I during the holidays so we'll just drive and eat out.

We still sang you a happy birthday song but instead of you crying, most of us were holding back our tears earlier. You've touched the lives of so many people that they are still affected even after a year. It's just not the same since you were gone.

I wonder how you'll react or what you'll do when you see us now. Will you get mad but get worried when you get to see me not function after some time? Will you be proud but hide it from me (and tell others about it) because of the progress that I am making? Will you get annoyed but get kilig with Tatay because he keeps on tearing up whenever we eat something that you like. He always cooks the food that you love. "Paborito to ng nanay mo. Madami siguro yun makakain kung sakali".

I still play Abba songs and all of your other CDs every Sundays. I want to believe that that is how we bond just like when I was a kid. You are not the clingy or touchy mom but you have a different love language. You would always play Dancing Queen or Chiquitita whenever I get sad or cook me my favorite meals.

I miss you every time. I haven't cried that much anymore cause I feel you now more than ever. You are with me in the smallest of things, in the places I go, in the people I meet and love. You'll always be the person I look up to.

Mahal kita palagi.x
