ampay

there's this cebuano concept "ampay," that is, if i got it right from my linguistically-schizo family. :P

it's when you're in your bliss doing what you do best or having what you like best, and you just can't get enough. ampay jud. if you're sitting back, scratching your stomach in satisfaction, you could have just come from your ampay. or maybe, you're having your stomach scratched by your loved one, that's ampay too.

i'm doing a short piece analyzing the results of this study on Filipino marriage dissolution, from the perspective of the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation Model of Marriage (Karney and Bradbury, 1995).

wahahaha, it is so so so ampay.
