Both my husband and I were wedding singers before when we both were not yet married. Now my husband is still a singer by profession and I had to shift profession when we got married because of physical reason. (I gained weight after giving birth and I never lost it.) But what I missed about those days is when we get to eat with the wedding guests to different hotels. We also collected wedding a lot of wedding tokens. The most fun part of it is when we tend to compare whose wedding is better or best. There were elegant but cheap wedding programs. You could not help but admire the wedding planner on the good job that they did. There are also expensive weddings but has a lot of bloopers. We always end the day laughing about it. I remember one wedding when the groom has to walk down the isle and the priest has to start the celebration without the bride. The bride called that she is really coming but would get late because she was stuck on a street corner and had to hide because a funeral was passing by. Stupid superstition I guess. Giving up the ceremony just like that. Good thing about it, the bride did really showed up just in time for the wedding vow exchange. Whew!

My husband was a football player back in college. But I never get to watch him play the sport. Now he still fantasizes playing the sport. He watches the sports every now and then on TV. I sometimes sit beside him and would always try my best to understand the sport. He sometimes goes football betting with his friends. I always give him this time for himself. I would not squeeze myself into the picture and pretend to understand what they are watching. The only thing that I could do to support him is to prepare snacks for him. I always say in my previous posts that I am not really domestic. But sometimes I would really try to be. I can’t cook so I just buy ready to eat snacks for him. I know he appreciates it. I am not a sport person, but at least sometimes I try to sit beside him and pretend for a while that I am also interested. But most of the time, I let him be. As a wife and partner, I know I have to do this. Not because I am obliged to do it but because I wanted to do it. That’s how I show my husband that I love him.

I am not a domestic person. I hate to admit it, but I could not be left alone at home. I do not know how to cook, I am not a clean maniac and I it may be shameful to admitl, but I am a couch potato at times. If I don’t write, I watch movies and or sleep. See, I told you. I could not be left home alone. I could not even cook my own food for goodness sake. Okay, let’s stop pushing me down to the floor and spare me the humiliation. There are things that I am also good at. See, I’m not totally useless. I am proud to say that I am technical. If your PC gets busted, you can call me and I can fix it for you. If you got a broken furniture, I can get it back together. Yes, I do minor electric repairs, (just those easy connect the wire thing…), pc troubleshooting (mostly software problems…) and some minor hammering and sawing. I though I was born a man…So if you want to give me something for Christmas, give me a circular saw blades instead of a brand new cooking pot set. Now that’s what I call diversity baby…

One way or the other, we always encounter storms in our life. Those people whom we least expect to be our friends suddenly become our shock absorber. I can never thank God enough for friends who stood by me when I was down. Those who don’t even bother to question my insanity but was just simply there and listened. For the first time in 3 days since the storm struck, today was my first time to cry. I cried and let all those unwanted feeling out from my system. My eyes right now is swelling a little bit. I am planning to wear an eye glasses to work later. Wish I had one that would hide these swollen eyes. One that would make me look happy in spite of what I am going through. Wish I can crawl under the table and snuggle myself there until this storm goes away. But I am little bit OK now though. Now that I have cried, I know I can move on. Once again, thanks to my friends who never left me, even to friends who did not know I am in a storm, but managed to make me laugh, you never know how much you made me feel better. Thank you!

I wanted to buy my husband a phone because his phone is kind of old already. He did not ask for it but I just want to surprise him. I started to search online because I just wanted it to be delivered so he would be surprised even more. I checked at metro pcs and I found a lot there. And I got confused. And until now, I am. Trying to surprise a loved one is sometimes not easy. But I just can’t wait and see of what my husband will will look like once I decide to buy and have it shipped to him directly. Sometimes ranting about things that confuses you in your blog can help ease the confusion a little. I think it did…

As I was riding a taxi on the way home, I noticed that the cab I was riding was not in a good condition. I don’t know much about cars, but just hearing the sound of it, I know that it was. I think it needs some New Auto Parts or whatever. I almost lost my temper because I got dizzy from the abrupt stopping and going of the car. I wanted to get off. But when I looked at the driver, he was really sweating out wanting to make the car run so he could get paid. I felt a tiny hurt in my heart and a feeling of sympathy to the guy. Instead, I said a silent prayer and asked God to fix it even until when I get home so I can pay him. I just felt bless today that I have job and I don’t have to literally sweat just to get paid. Thank you Lord for all the blessings!

As I was checking online, I came across a picture of a beautiful living room. I started to miss the living room I grew up with which is at my “Granny’s house”. One thing that is still fresh in my memory right now is the beautiful decorated Venetian blinds in the window. I wanted to have one now. One, it’s beautiful and classic. Two, it keeps my childhood memories alive.

Women wants to be beautiful. We always do. We try our best to look pleasing and attractive to men. I am not saying this is bad. And I am not also saying that women should not take care of themselves. What I am saying is, too much could not be healthy already. If you have acne then an acne scar removal cream can do the job. You don’t have to spend a lot for diamond peels and all. This is just my personal opinion. No offense to those who can afford to be beautiful through this method. But I still strongly believe in Inner Beauty.

Today is my grandmothers 80th birthday. My cousins and I are preparing something for her. We wanted to surprise her. This day is always so special to us since we, my cousins and I were all raised by her. I am thinking of buying nice gifts for her. He loves accessories like necklaces and dangling earrings. So my cousin and I went shopping for things that we would give her. But most of all I know that she will be happy today because her children, grand children and even her great-grandchildren will be gathered as we will all be celebrating her birthday today. Happy Birthday Mie.

In a while we will be leaving to go to my son’s school for their annual Family Day. And this year, it falls during Valentines Day. Amidst the busyness that is going on preparing for the things that we need to bring to school and preparing for the things that my husband would be bringing for his business trip a11:00 AM today,still I am feeling the spirit of valentines today. My kids are so excited for today. However my husband and I already made plans for our valentines celebration when he gets back tomorrow. We did not give each other valentine presents. Though I received valentine cards both from my kids. It seems like my husband and I already gave each other save the date postcards. We already know that this day is supposed to be our day. But due to some situations that we could not control, we had to postpone it a day after. But the day or the event should not matter after all. It’s what keeping the love alive, every single day matters most. Falling in love is really easy. But staying in love is what always counts. So to all those lovers out there, you really don’t have to wait for Valentines Day to show love to each other. Let everyday be a valentines day. Stay in love everyone.
