The Married Life

This is me and Husband talking while I was browsing the net for my dream bags.

H: why do you women have to have 10 bags or more?
W: because we need it
H: do you have to change your bags everyday?
W: no
H: so why do you have to buy bags all the time?
W: basta!!!
H: di ko talaga ma-gets eh
W: you don’t have to get it, just get me a bag
H: gusto mo yung Prudential Bank na bag? it’s nice naman di ba?

I would just have to laugh at my Husband’s sense of humour….corny pero binili ko na rin. the Prudential Bank bag he was referring to was the green pamalengke bag that the bank gives to clients as souvenirs for decades.hehehe 😛

Let’s start the month with good news.

Chris and I have officially joined Kix Tavora’s Photography Team as Graphic/Lay-out Artists, and we are very very excited to be working with one of the most talented photographers in the Philippines.

Kix was the 2nd Photographer in our wedding January 2007 and we love his work and we love working with him.

That’s why when he said he needed help in the lay-outing of his wedding albums, without much ado,

we said “Yes, we do!”

My husband and I were laughing like crazy while still in bed this morning.

Both awake and talking but not getting up, we suddenly thought to pretend that we are literally joined at the hip (you know, like Siamese twins) and the challenge was to get up from bed. And boy, it was crazy. We kept on falling back to bed and mainly because we were laughing at our being silly. 🙂

The first step was to be able to sit up straight.
The next was to get out of the bed and be able to stand up.

Can you imagine how silly we were????

Try it and it’s fun, I tell you. It will really wake the nerves out of you and you’ll start the day laughing.

…and most importantly my Husband is managing well.

Things have been sorted out in the Phils, with Chris’ Mama being incharged of everything. To everyone who has messaged, emailed, called us and gave generously: Thank you very much. Your gestures are of great comfort to us.

After work, we met up to attend mass at St. Mary’s Cathedral in the City. Since the mass was at 5:30PM, we had an early dinner at Asagao, a Japanese restaurant with sushi train.

Gusto kong maaliw ng konti si Chris kaya ko sya dinala dun. Since he came here in Sydney, he has expressed interest in eating sushi. So I thought today would be a perfect way for that. I think it worked naman.

When I took photos of him and asked him to smile, nag-smile naman.

Pero pag di mo siya kinakausap, makikita mo sa eyes nya na malungkot sya.

Another good sign is that he got the camera and took photos too.

After our quick dinner, we headed off to St. Mary’s Cathedral. Right after the mass, as we were walking in Hyde Park, Chris told me that he felt better, that he felt lighter after attending the mass. I think that’s what we call Grace of God diba? I believe that little acts of faith does a lot of wonder for the mind and spirit. As long as you bring yourself to God in any circumstance, he will comfort you.

He also said “thank you” to me for accompanying him to church and for all my help which made me really happy today.

all i want is to hold you forever…all i need is you more everyday…you saved my heart from being broken apart…you gave your love away…and i’m thankful everyday for the gift. (Jim Brickman)

happy sweet 16th monthsary, baby!
and i just want to let you know that i love love love being married to you 🙂

I got out of the office early today because the husband went to the City to have meryienda (afternoon tea) with me. We met up at World Square and hang out at one of my most visited cafe called “Cafe Caliniere”. The entrance to this cafe amuses me coz they have this big coffee cup that welcomes you.

We just had a quiet hour of sipping our cafe mochas and eating potato wedges while engaged in enjoyable conversation. A nice way of ending a busy day at work and a simple way of celebrating a tiny milestone in our married life: our 16th.
