Today, I greeted my favorite aunt-ninang a happy birthday! She replied by sending this text message: "Punta kayo dito amin, let us celebrate life at pagkakaroon ko ng dual citizenship." I have always known my aunt as a beautiful and fabulous woman. I have always perceived her as powerful, mayaman, mataray-and-suplada-but sweet-to-her-husband, echosera, galit sa panget and always prim and proper. So to me, her having a dual citizenship is not to be taken lightly as a joke. To me, it's a given - something she is very capable of having! I see my aunt as a go-getter anyway. So I replied to her message with this: "Wow. Fil-Am? Sosyalan!" To which she replied, "No. Not American. Senior. Dual. Filipino-Senior citizen!" Now, there's an additional adjective to describe her - nuts! So funny. Haha! I wish I could also live to be 60!
