Who’s the Boss??

I remember three years ago, on our civil wedding – Atty Victoria said that the wife should be submissive to her husband. If that’s the case, the husband should be the boss of the house. But I have problems with that – I have a stubborn personality being the eldest in the family and being a spoiled wife.

But that was before. I guess I have softened up a BIT. That’s a record breaking three years for me to be somehow"submissive".. and I ain't that spoiled wife like I used to be. I hope! LOl

So who’s the boss? None. We are both slaves of each other. In our every decision making – we talk, compromise, and decide on what’s best not only for us but for the party concerned.

Oh, yeah he’s the boss of the kitchen in terms of cooking. I am the boss at home making. But on everything about the welfare of our family – our daughter Yena is the ultimate boss!!

What I want from Kabute! What I want from Kabute! (Repeat 100 times)

I want him to stay as he is even if he always annoys me big time. I want him to stay the same – no more, no less. I want him to still cook me my favorite food every time I crave for them. I want him to treat me like his baby. I want him to be the man that he is most especially when defending me from ‘insane’ people. Ok, materially, he knows that I want this ring only if we win on the lottery! LOL

I want him to do the laundry on Saturday (he doesn’t like dirty clothes). I want him to jog with me on weekends (he finds it hard to wake me up early on weekends just to jog). I want him to bring me to the cinema and watch sa’yo lamang (this is very impossible – he doesn’t like tagalog movies). I want him to clean the whole house on weekends (he is the messiest person you will ever met!)

Seriously, I don’t want him to change his ways – coz he will be perfect and our married life would be boring if that happens! LOL

Written in the Stars

I missed CC last week! To say that I am stressed at work is an understatement. I can be very busy at work but can join the weekly memes but last week was terrible. And this week – seems lighter – I hope.

So for CC’s sensitivity last week, that theme I guess is for me, lol. I am the queen of sensitivity. Ask my husband! On our first months of being a couple we would have a misunderstanding because I hurt so easily. He is the most sarcastic fellow on earth while I was the most hypersensitive human being. So imagine when he makes fun of me – i always end up locking myself in our room at MIL’s house.

But that was before. Now I learned how to be as sarcastic as he is. I can play around his teases and I ain’t that vulnerable anymore!

So for the CC theme this week, on the hardest days of our marriage life I guess it’s the first years.. I mean I was really sensitive while he’s very much a joker. Everything for him seems light and he cant seem to get serious – but that’s his personality - bubbly but masunget at times, hihi.

CC: Trust Faith and Loyalty

If there’s one thing that I am so thankful of my husband, it’s the fact that he is very much loyal now. He was very much a playboy in the past. He was very much a flirt!

But now he is completely a changed man. So I disagree when people say – once a playboy always a playboy. Coz my husband would be one example that when you say goodbye to your old ways – no matter how hard it is – you would do it for the sake of your loved ones.

There’s no more question of trust between us. We trust each other – we entrust our lives with each other – so when you see me insane one of this days that would be husband’s fault, LOL. Seriously, we have faith on our love for each other – we have faith that this marriage will last in a lifetime (with God as the center of our union) and we are willing to work it all out no matter how bumpy the road will be and there’s no more doubt about loyalty. If one of us walk towards the road of disloyalty this blog will be shut down to its existence – and that’s the sign! LOL

CC: When Sorry isn't Enough

"Sorry" for husband is as good as lets-forgive-and-forget BUT for me it is not, lol! It's hard to tame me most especially after a misunderstanding and husband knows that. So after a lovers quarrel husband would surprise me my favorites - be it roses or kitkat/hersheys almonds or lays. I am cheap i know hihihi

Flirt!

I don’t know if I am born a natural flirt coz every morning it’s a routine for me to say I love u and I miss u to husband. At messenger I would usually tease him those same words and would comment that it seems like he doesn’t feel the same.

This morning, I told him I miss him and he replied; should I say it every single day? Of course I do!

Told him, he should. (am a demanding wife!) Lol

And he replied: I miss you so much baby, that’s for today until Friday ok?! ^_^

I don’t know if it’s just me. I cannot let the day pass without saying how much I love him or how much I miss him or how much I am thankful that he is my husband.

*And this post’s worth is a trip to max’s or pizza hut with a FREE movie date on saturday! ^_^ I love to flirt ^_^ 

This is what i usually do when i want' something :) So this shall be my share on Couple's Corner this wednesday. Happy CC!

CC: Mushroom Likes and Dislikes

Husband and I share the same interest in blogging. We both like to blog most especially if there’s some oppps from M, heheh. In terms of eating, my husband loves fish, vegetables and fruits. His favorite dish is kilawin. I on the other hand love everything junk. He likes to cook but dislikes washing the dishes. He likes basketball and dislikes badminton.

Husband dislikes taking medication even if he is sick. He would only go to the doctor when he cannot take it any longer. He likes to tease me every now and then, teasing is his favorite hobby. He likes to drink alcohol with his cousins but dislikes smoking.

I need to ask him to blog about what he likes and dislikes about me, I really don’t know what he likes about me aside from my uber gorgeous body before, don’t take the last sentence seriously am only kidding hihi.

CC: Opps Opposite!

While I love news about entertainment, the buzz or showbiz central and the likes my husband loves sports news. I love reading books and ebooks he prefers to listen to my stories instead. I love watching Kris Aquino, he loves watching current news instead. I love chocolates, corn and milk while he always prefers fruits.

He loves basketball and James Yap, I don’t, hahah. He loves fish, fruits and vegetables and I love junk foods. He loves to cook but hate the dirty kitchen sink, I love to wash the dishes. He creates a lot of mess around the house and hates cleaning, I love to clean and keeps everything in order.

He loves to watch scary films, I love romantic and comedy films. He loves only Levis, I can go for any brand of jeans. He is very thrifty while I am a compulsive shopper. I love to sell stuffs and he is too shy to do that. I am 5 months older that him but he is very mature for his age, while I am uhmmm I feel so much younger when I am with him. LOL

CC: Our Different Talents

My husband is very musically inclined; he knows how to play different musical instruments. He sings pretty well too. I am always a proud wife every time he sings on a videoke and dedicates his song to me. Haba ng hair ko! ;)

We both hate to dance, we both have left foot. So erase dancing on our list of talents. hahah.

So if doing some cross stitching is a talent, ok that would be my talent. I can’t think of anything I am good at now hihih. This would be my share on Couple’s Corner this Wednesday.

Ps:
Happy 4 years anniversary to my one true love.. my beloved kabute.. Yobib!

Love,
Mush

CC: Inexpensive Hobbies

Since I marry a man who most of the time thinks of spending his money wisely, we don’t usually spend money on things. So speaking of inexpensive hobbies, we have lots of them! Now for the enumeration… Hihih

WATCHING. We watch movies together on weekends. We would watch on the cinema if the movie is really worth our penny (I mean if we both love the trailer and would really love to watch it asap) other than that we would just watch it at home with husband’s copied movies from his officemates (downloaded from the internet!)

EATING. We binge at home on everything that he cooks. Eating is husband’s favorite hobby of all.

SINGING. We sing together at home. He would play his guitar while I and yena would sing along.

BLOGGING. We blog together on weekends when yena is asleep. We have unlimited connection monthly so we maximize the use of that on weekends.

CHATTING. We CHAT a lot everyday, every hour when time permits. We talk a lot when we’re together, we chat on messenger and on SMS.

SLEEPING. oh, if given a chance this would be my favorite hobby - the most inexpensive of all (the lights are off and the heat is on, lol). i can sleep the whole day and husband can keep up with me on hugging and cuddling while sleeping. So when it's raining on weekends, we don't do anything of the above. We just sleep...

CC: When I am Sick

I am on blog leave but can’t afford to miss the theme this week on Couple’s Corner, hihih. I just want to share how spoiled i am with my yobib, hihi. My husband is a natural caregiver; he takes good care of me most especially when I am not feeling well. One time, when I was so sick, I woke up on a breakfast in bed, red roses and a love note.

When I was hospitalized last year he was the one who stayed and became the most caring nurse I have ever known. When I gave birth to Yena, he was the one who stayed beside me, clean my wounds, put my binder and remind me of my meds.

He is sweet but usually would be the sweeetest when I am sick. Last Sunday, he surprised me with 7 roses before the mass. Asked him what was that all about and he told me he bought those roses because of 4 letter word…

So I told him the four letter word must be L O V E?

And he chuckled; S A L E! =) Mommy, those roses were on sale!!!

Hahah

CC: I was out, He is in charge

When umma came here last march, we already planned on going out for an all girls night out. We just came from a 3 days vacation at Acuatico Beach Resort that day, and the plan was to leave the two sleeping toddlers (Umma’s son YL and my Yena) to Yobib at their room at Makati Shangrila.

So at past 9pm, Ghie, Kat, Umma and I sneaked out of the room. The kids were sleeping soundly with all the lights off while yobib seems to be in charge of the whole situation, armed with TLC (tender loving care) just in case one of kids looked for their mommy.

We were having a grand time at Cowboy Grill, it was F-U-N drinking beer and binging on pulutan. I thought everything was fine with the yayo and the two kids until 1am when my phone rung endlessly. Yobib surrendered, the kids were crying looking for their moms! Hahah. And we went back to the hotel, it was so bitin! The kids and yobib were KJ! =)

But it’s completely different when I leave yena on yobib’s care every time I have to go out. I don’t worry when the two of them are together. They play, sleep and eat together. They get along so well that when I came back the whole house is a mess. =)

Did I marry my dream man?

Back when I was so into my ex. I would always ask for a sign if he was the one for me – and for all those signs the answer would be “IT’S NOT HIM”.

And the signs are TRUE. He wasn’t really the one for me! Gladly, I found the man that I always see in my dreams…

God-fearing, good-looking, musically inclined, sporty, lovable and sweet! That’s none other than my husband! Wink

CC: First Impressions

I live with my in laws for 14 months. Husband and I live with them days before I gave birth to yena and then left the house before yena turned 14 months old.

Since I don’t know how to cook, I looked like I was a border at my MIL’s house. On weekdays, husband and I had to go to work, we would bring yena to my mother and the three of us would go home at night time. So I had the weekends to spend with the in laws, and it was fine. Weekends for us means eating binge on Saturdays, videoke session in the afternoon, Sunday mornings in the church and chatting the time away. Repeat the whole week in sequence, lol.

So their first impressions? I don’t know. I was myself when I was with them. As for me, I love my MIL and FIL, coz they treat me like their own daughter from the first day hub brought me to their home.

CC: Plans on Father’s Day

Husband will be on Camarines Sur this weekend with his officemates, so on father’s day he will not be with us. Sigh. But yena and I will not be lonely on father’s day weekend. Of course I have plans hihih, will celebrate father’s day without daddy for the first time BUT I am sure this will be a happy day still. Husband shall be home by night of Sunday. Wink.

So yena and I will be shopping around for father’s day gifts on Saturday (see what blogging money can do. i have extra moolah for the men that matters, hihih). On Sunday, we shall be spending the day with lotsa blogging friends. We will have lunch at Pehpot’s house for Jade’s baby shower. Will also drop by at the birthday party of Macoi, Ms beng’s youngest child, with my officemates. And then lastly, we will have a swimming party with the blogging babies at Fedhz' condo! =)

That’s one tiring weekend! Whew. But it also spells F-U-N!

CC: Husband as a Son

Husband grew up in a household where the saying –action speaks louder than words exists. But the bonding within the family members is incomparable. They talk about everything and anything under the sun. Quiet closed. The word love is apparent from the parents down to the grandchildren.

I don’t know if I should share this but husband has been suffering depression since his papa, my FIL died last year. He is blaming himself for everything – when papa got his first stroke and the day papa died. Since they don’t kiss and say I love you in the household – husband’s first and last utter of I love you to papa and his last embrace was the day he died. I am guilty with this but I also grew up not used to saying I love you to my parents – BUT I often embrace, kiss and hug them when I get the chance. So imagine how much husband was feeling the day his beloved papa died.

In spite of it all, I see husband as a son who is willing to do everything and anything for his parents. He loves them to bits and sees to it that they live comfortably. Now that mama is alone, it’s husband silent rule to spend weekends in his parent’s house to at least bring smile to mama’s face by spending time with her.

This shall be my share on Couple’s Corner! Click the badge below to see other heartwarming stories. Happy CC everyone!

The Mushrooms as Parents

As much as possible I don’t spank yena. When she is misbehaving or is being very stubborn I always tell her that I am getting angry and she behaves almost every time. Every time I scold her, she would go to her bed, lie down, and say ‘mommy you don’t love me, coz you’re scolding me’ sometimes she cries in between while telling me that. =) Every now and then I explain to her why I am being upset and tell her I love her so much but I don’t want her to be a spoiled brat.

I tend to be the spoiler while husband is the disciplinarian in the family. Yena and husband are super close, they are the best buddies. But when he raised his voice and tells yena to stop misbehaving – she will. As much as he is afraid of his daddy I hope that it just means she respects his every word.

It isn’t easy being a parent, it takes a lot of responsibility, hard work and dedication. But being a parent is my favorite vocation and I won’t trade it for anything in the world.

My Pregnancy Story

This is a just a repost of my Conceived after two depressions entry last January 2009. I don’t have internet connection at home and I find it hard to blog at work (am using proxy to somehow open my blogs). But I cannot afford to miss this week’s theme at Couple’s Corner. So this shall be my entry on my pregnancy story. ^_^

Hubby and i have been through a lot when we decided to be together sometime ago. Just like any other couple we've been through ups and downs! We've been to the long and winding road of fighting for our love. But there was two instances then that i thought id give up, i can sense hubby felt the same too! It was the time when we were both impatient to have our own baby.

My ob said i have mayoma, my left and right ovary were not healthy, in fact the ob cant find any egg cells. So planning a baby with my condition seemed futile. I underwent medication to regulate my mentruation and to have a healthy egg cells.. Patiently we waited for the baby. :)

Then a week of missed periods, jumped hubby for joy. He told me have my pregnancy test kit and check if i was already expecting. Miserably i get out of the comfort room weeping. Told myself, this was not yet the moment. But hubby felt terribly depressed. I was depressed all the more.

My first kit showing one line, negative. :(

The second time of my missed periods again, he was not expecting anything at all. I wa so nervous. I was worried i cant give him a child he has been wanting. Thoughts of husband leaving mefor another woman who could bare his child was running on my mind. I was hopeless all the more when the result turned to negative.

So there, after two depressions on a fine day of june, after a day of work and two months of missed period, i decided to try to have my kit ready again. And there we were, hubby and i, numb and speechless. Coz by that time, we saw two lines we've never seen before! That was then we knew... our baby was here already. :)

The two lines, positive! :)

And that was our Yena, our ultimate source of joy now, who was conceived after two depressions!

Meet My Mothers

I love this May's theme at Couple's Corner! There's no meme out there where we talk about our Mothers and am so thankful for the host for thinking about this in time for Mother's Day! It's Mother's Month at CC and i love it! Thanks Mareng Liz! ^_^

Anyways, here's my beloved MIL. Her name is Daisy and she is mestiza. I will be forever grateful to her for giving birth to my beloved husband hihih. There are lots of woman out there who has problems with their inlaws but am so lucky for my MIL and FIL(+) for loving me as their own daughter.

Neil, JM, Yena and my MIL

And now presenting Jelly, the most important woman in my life, my mother whom i would trade my life with hihih. I admit i am a father's girl but i love this woman to bits! I caused her so much grief when i married yobib but everything is under the bridge now. She loves Yobib and Yena so much. She gave me the house we are living now just beside her house and she takes care of Yena when yobib and i are at work!

Fourth from the left is my Mother

Hey its your turn to brag about your mothers! Join us at Couple's Corner by clicking the badge below. See you!

Happy Birthday to my BEST FRIEND!

Dearest Yobiboy,

I wonder if Mareng Liz intentionally planned this Wednesday’s theme of Couples Corner in time for your birthday. But nevertheless am so thankful – (thanks Mare! love you!). So this post shall pay tribute to you, my husband, my lover, my chef, my busmate, my favorite ym buddy, my email stalker, my beloved, my life, and most of all my best friend.

Who on earth knows me more with just a stomp of my feet or rising of my eyebrows? You know their meaning by heart you are scared every time I do them. As much as I am afraid of your being masunget at times, I know you are not brave enough to handle my tantrums so when I told you enough is enough – even if the world would see you as 'under me' you would let my way rule. I feel like a queen on a chess board - - i feel so protected every time i am with you.

We laugh and cry together. You lift me up when am down – you tease me big time when I am going up. You are ALWAYS there when I need someone to talk to. You are not afraid to tell me what’s worst in me even if you know I will get hurt in the end. But you assure me every time that you love the whole package in me– the worst, the ugly, the best. You hurt more when you see me hurting.. you cry when i feel like crying and you laugh at me for crying more often.

Mere words cannot express how much you mean to me. How can i not be thankful that on the day i said yes to you i found the best friend i have been looking for. Kinikilig ka na ba? Seriously daddy I will not be the "happiest me" now if I didn’t choose you. I love you for all my eternity.. and thank you for being my best friend...

Happy Happy Birthday Daddy!!!
