NOT TO BUY LIST

“A family is like   a ship.   There can be only one captain.   It is the husband.”, Ninong Bimbim told us in his speech during our wedding.   “Weh?!”, the feminists exclaimed.   “And there can be only one treasurer!   It is the wife.”, he continued. “Ah okay!”, the feminists were convinced.   Lelz. It is difficult for me to adopt the first statement. First off, I’m a domineering biatch! lelz .   Second, in our family, my mom makes almost all of the major decisions.   Please don’t take this against my father.   He’s a good man, a loving husband and a near perfect father.   It’s just that my mom’s decision-making ability   is better.     But since submitting to the husband is in the bible, I’m now in the process of becoming a submissive wife.   I thought the second one  is pro-me. Contrary to my impression, keeping the purse is not easy.   I   need to spend wisely.   I need to s...

Project Fit and Toned: Result

  “If you aim to hit the sky, you will hit the   tree top.   If you aim to hit the tree top, you’ll hit the trunk.   If you aim to hit the trunk, you will hit the what? Miss Da**?”, my  teacher called my seatmate. “Ma’am root top!”, she comically answered.   Surprised that a joke will be cracked in the middle of a serious discussion, we all laughed like crazy while my poor teacher was fuming with anger. Lol. Oh…high school life!   (By the way, that bully is now a lawyer.) While writing this PFT post, I remembered this “root top story.”   I think it’s a good excuse for my failure. I aimed to hit the sky but I hit the tree top.    I declared in my first Project Fit and Toned post that my target weight by December 2012 is 100 lbs. I failed.    On the day of my wedding, I weighed 110 lbs. I fell short of my target. However,   I am not that frustrated because I still lost weight.   I lost 12 lbs.   The chang...

Meet my Ex boyfriend

I am back! Lately, I’ve been busy with work (echos) and with wedding related matters. That's why I took a leave of absence from blogging.    I am already a missis.  It has been exactly a month since we tied the knot.  So far, ang sarap ng buhay may asawa.  I hope and pray that this “ang sarap ng buhay may asawa” stage would last forever.  But, I must admit that we are still on the adjustment phase.  I know exactly that if I don’t bend (straighten is the right term) a little, our marriage will be a mess.  As per my  friend Karen Ann,  everyday I need to choose him.  Everyday I need to choose us.  Everyday, I need to choose our marriage.  That is why every morning, I do my best to start his day by  saying  “Good morning baby! Breakfast is ready”.  Ang hirap nun ah.  On his part, he tries his best to lessen his OCness.     Have you seen my ex-boyfie already?  Hmmm… I think I ha...
