How many names do you have?
I have so many nicknames other than my real name.
I have an Aunt who calls me Ching Ching every since I was a
little girl.
I have a relative here in the Philippines she cannot pronounce
CH she calls me Jinky which is not my name at all. I’ve told her several times
that is not my name, but she has a hard time pronouncing CH and adds a J instead.
I stop explaining it to her and just respond to Jinky as she calls me.
My in-law’s calls me Chinks.
My cousin calls me Carmen.
My best friend calls me Carmie.
No one knows I am Carmina only people who don’t know my
nickname. When a package arrives under Carmina they wonder who is Carmina.
When you have kids of your own you become their Mom a sign
of respect.
To everyone outside the home people think I am the foreigner or in tagalog balikbayan (guest) because I don't look familiar when they see me.
When you start dating when you’re young your boyfriends
would call you a pet name to get their attention.
Talking about nicknames I have nicknames for the employee in
the house. We have an employee when he gets drunk you can’t seem to understand
him when you talks. He starts talking Chinese in tagalog we call him is Intsik.😄
I have a sister in-law and brother in-law who likes to
inspect what their Father eats because he is on a strict diet and sometimes he
doesn’t obey what food he need to eat. We call them SPI. What does SPI mean? It
means Special Police Inspection.
When they come to the house my father in-law hid all his
food and evidence so they don’t see what he has been eating.
I call my mother in-law Security Guard. Why do I call her security
guard because she walks around with her hands on her waist and inspect the
employee what they are doing.
When my mother in-law lectures her employee I call her the
priest and I tease the employee to bring their rosary and bible for their
meeting.
We all laughed at each other.
I call our sales representative and secretary in the house
Nanny (Mother) and Anak (Child). The sales representative is the Aunt of the
secretary and she is picky with her food like a kid.
I also have Garfield in the house they like to look in the refrigerator
often when I am asleep.
They call my youngest son Americano because he only speaks
mostly English to them and they can’t seem to understand when he talks to fast
for them to understand.
We have an employee who we call owl because he was born with
eye that looks like he has been punch in the eye. I tease him he only comes out at
night.
We have a relative that looks like Mr. Bean.
We have some employee that are the favorite of my mother
in-law I tease them they are the adopted kids.
No one minds us giving them all nicknames.
