I just read the title of my blog – Mommy Talks. Wife Stories.. I havent really been blogging about my wife stories – there isnt much to tell. With the husband gone during the weekdays and the kids competing for attention when he is home, there is really very little to share. (Can you feel my bitterness here?) I keep telling myself three more months until I put my foot down and give a final order for him to relocate but with me not having a regular job, I don’t think we can make it. Yet.

Anyhow, the past month has been nakakainis. With me being sick, us staying over at my parents’ place to recuperate, him getting sick and the kids getting sick, there has been very little time for us to really talk or bond. It doesnt help that we have online lives we tend to care more about than sitting on the couch catching up with one another

So how do you bond without being a nag?

Join him. At least we are together in a room

Pic taken at 1:41AM, September 15.
We have been bonding like this all month of August, save for the dates I got sick.

Im this.close.to.wrecking.the.desktop.computer. I swear.
Cabal is the work of the devil. Bwahahahahaha.

Kanina, I told him, “Thart, dede nga si Martha.”
Sabi nya, “Thart, di ko to maiiwan, 30 minutes non stop dapat kami naglalaban.” WTF!!!!!!

But it is the same as, “Thart, me opp expiring in 30 minutes, ikaw na muna.”
(Kaso ako kumikita, sya hindi, pwe. )

It is the reason why I woke up late today.
It is the reason why I didnt wake up every two hours last night.
It is the reason why Im not freaking shouting at this time of the hour.
It is the reason why Im here, in the dining area, enjoying my breakfast, while the kids are at the room, watching Mary Poppins and playing Cabal.
It is the reason why Im in high spirits today.

I guess Im one of those married women who cannot live in a long-distance arrangement. I admire women who raise their kids alone yet so beautifully while their husbands need to work in a faraway land.

I guess they start out like me, depressed most of the times, angry some of the time, and very overwhelmed. But they make do. They are resilient and they thrive. I hope in time I can adjust.

Basta ako, I love weekends.

Third Wedding Anniversary : Leather, Crystal, Pearl or Jade, Fuschia Flower, the Colors White or Jade Green.

The husband, instead, gave me rubbershoes and a wireless router. Practical stuff I really need.

Rubbershoes because I cannot use the treadmill without it.

Wireless router because I need to be have the laptop glued beside me to earn more money.

Practical stuff. And Im happy!

We celebrate three years of married life today. And while I cannot really say it has been three years of wedded bliss, I would not have it any other way.

Trivia for the day: I was a June Bride.

Though June is considered a wedding month, here in the country, most weddings really actually occur during December and January when the climate is cooler and there are less chances of storms. In June, the climate is really erratic and school is starting so it really isnt a popular idea for weddings. I still persevered anyway. June really wasnt a special month – we just wanted to get married right away!

I still remember the wedding preparation days. Those were the days I really got involved with the internet, blogging and meeting people online (YM). Thanks to W@W, I was able to plan everything online. I cant remember how many wedding expos I went to – I think just three? We only had six months to prepare for it. I went to trade show booths not to look for suppliers (because I had them booked already) – but to hang around my suppliers’ booths We got such a kick in seeing our invites, our photos made into banner stands for advertisements. There even was one supplier who got inspired with my contemporary invitation that they patterned their logo with the design and made the logos imprinted on the table skirts they used. By far, my photographers had the coolest booth then – it was really unique and very contemporary. They didnt use the
Pipe and Drape but instead had theirs custom-made.

Enough of looking back.
Another trivie for the day: I got married, three years ago, in my dream church, with Mr. Dream, tomorrow.

And that is the end of the GTYK Qs

The other one that has gotten me interested was the thread about how much household expenses are nowadays – based from what I read, I think I have been doing a good job budgeting things (Money lang talaga problema). We are at the lower end of the budget consensus, and I think that has to do a lot with me going to the market every week now. Ill share more later when I get to have some free time but there was a nice Momma Stuff Question of the Week for that a while back — nice tips!

Answer: He is not really into the grand things kasi. But when we were still BF-GF, he brought my best friends to my surprise bday party in Tags. And on the day of my 18th bday, he really went to UST (inside the building, into my classroom, with a professor pa!) to give me flowers. He also gave me his gift in front of people who greeted me for the asalto. (Makapal mukha nun, mahilig sya mag-”show” hahaha)

When we got back together in 2004, he also showed up in the 32nd floor of our ops floor at 5AM to give me flowers. Grabe ang mga bading kong officemates, tili ng tili. Hahaha.

Looking back though, I guess when we got older, I do not really get kilig anymore.I just realize Edil is really the type of guy who is shameless in professing his love. He still does that (pag love nya ako, hehehe) even when talking with other people.

The last mundane silly thing that really made me smile a LOT was the Saranghaeyo post. What husband feeds his wife’s men addictions diba?

9. Describe how he/you proposed to you.
Answer: Ay naku, on the night we got back together the first thing he said when we made up was “Pakasal na tyo.” That was it

10. Do you give gifts during anniversary?
Answer: Nope. Hindi uso yan sa amin

Passing this on to all MBAPs See you July 5!
