Carmina went to do her two weeks grocery on March 25, 2025, at Landers Balintawak branch. Upon entering the store near the pharmacy there was a sign posted saying to register for vaccines that will be held on April 12, 2025. Carmina called up Becky asking if she is interested remembered to look out for the flu shot. Becky said yes and asked her to give me full name, birthdate and phone number contact information. Carmina also called up Mom Violy said alright and still faraway to decide. Carmina felt Mom Violy should get the flu shot since we'll be traveling to California upcoming vacation. Two years ago, when we went to California got sick and that time it was covid season. I just wanted to protect myself even though hardly get sick in the Philippines. Two days before our flu vaccine received a SMS on our mobile phone number to confirm if we are going to get our flu shot. I had responded said yes. One day before I had message Becky if she had received her confirmation on her flu s...
Sometimes when we are older and our children say, things at our face or when they send a text message to us. We have a hard time relating to what they have message us. There are so many short cuts that happens to us and we seldom understand what the meaning are when someone talks to us.
My niece asked, my mom one time what is her relationship with her guy friend. She said, they are in a platonic relationship. My niece asked, her Nana are you friend's with benefit with your guy friend. My mom said, yes he buy me stuff what I need.
I asked, my mom if she knew the meaning before she had answered that question. She said, isn't that the meaning. I said, no. That is not the meaning when someone ask you if you are in a relationship with friend's with benefit.
I had explain to my mom friend's with benefit is when you are with the opposite sex whom someone you are having sex without a romantic relationship or commitment. When you are not involved with someone serious and when you want some needs you are willing to give it to that person.
My mom told her niece I have no relationship of friend's with benefit. Her niece than laughed at her knowing her Nana wouldn't be the type of person.
There are times people younger than us are just testing as they are asking questions from you. But, they know the truth just to put humor as you are bonding with each other.
My son's often text me the following and when I text back to my mom she gets confused from the meaning:
The - D
You - U
And - N
Friend - Fren
Your - UR
Manila - Mla
This - DS
After I glance at my mom's messages her senior friends are the same way. I think to them they understand each other in terms of how they don't want to type out the full word.
I also have American friends who message me and there are times I am lost in words and unsure what are they asking from me. Some times I feel I am lost at words. I ask my friends what are the meaning since I am clueless. It takes me a while to pick up the sentence they are asking me.
There are times I ended up looking for the term they are asking me.
When you live in the life of the unknown you are clueless on what the American slang are and you seem left out.
As a trial and error you learn new words and in terms so you too can use those terms in the future. I don't find myself not capable of understanding their words. It is just seem new to me.
There are times my son will correct me on words I have a hard time pronouncing. I realized they are doing the things I use to do to my own parents.
We always go through the same pattern in life as we correct our parents how they certain words. We too get corrected from our own children. It becomes a cycle as we become older.
