Sharing my life the way I live it
My not so busy day
I never stayed home today. I went to the base with Carlo around 9 30am because I was OVERLY bored here in the house. He drop me off in the gym and I had a 2 hour of gym session. Man, that feels good. It’s been over a week now since I went to the gym (been busy with blog ads) that’s why I decided to go with him today.
After 2 hours, he picked me up and we went to BX (Basic Exchange) to have lunch and after lunch he left again to go back to his office. I brought my laptop so I was able to check my mail and post some ads for 3 hours. Had some chit chatting with Jackie on that time too. When my baby’s battery went dead, that was my signal to go shopping. I shop new kitchen utensils (new set of kitchen wares and some decors) for this coming Thanksgiving and for Christmas. When I was in the counter and tried paying, I don’t know what happened but the machine would not accept my debit card and I forgot to ask the credit card from hubby. I was a little embarrassed but what can I do. So I went to the ATM machine and try to withdraw some cash. I thought it would give me an error but to my surprise it did not. Haay buhay!!
Anyway, to make the long story short..I paid it with cash. The ways here in the States is different than what I had in the Philippines. In the Phils, I also have debit cards but I don’t usually use it to pay for shopping..I’m used to pay everything in cash. But when I got here in the States, almost everything is paid in debit or credit cards. Well, what I experienced was a little downside of using a card..and having a cash will always be a good option for paying, cash eh 
.
When we got home, both him and I are starving so I quickly cooked him a soup (he loves soup)..a shrimp sinigang soup (filipino dish) with American veges..hehe. He liked it though..and after I broiled some marinated pork chops.
I never cooked when I was single, or if I do..that’s really the most simple filipino meal. I just learned everything about the kitchen when I got married and yeah, I did tried burning my arm, cut my finger, burned some breads, overcooked some steak..but the key is “try it again”. Now, I’m getting a hang of it and my husband would always complain if I’ll tell him “we’ll have pizza from pizza hut tonight”, he wants my cooking, no matter how simple it is.
Was it love? Hahaha..this made me smile..big time.

Whenever you come back to Davao and visit us, Gladys, I want that you will cook for us, OK?
Hey, guess what….. I had my first test for my Bisaya class today. Scored 100% correct! 200 or so words I was tested on and got them all right!
Does it surprise you?

Hi boss,
Happy Thanksgiving. Hehe, I don’t know if you will like my cooking but I’ll practice harder so that when I spend time with the fam..I would be proud to cook
.
WOW!! 100%. That’s amazing. OMG, 200 words is A LOT. Congratulations. So you can speak bisaya now? That’s really great to hear. I’m teaching Carlo bisaya too and I speak to him in bisaya and english so he’ll get used to it. Day by day he was able to pick up words..
When I visit there I wouldn’t be surprise if you’ll speak to me in bisaya

I can’t speak yet, but I am getting there. So far, most of what I learned is proper grammar and such. The teacher that I have really focuses on good grammar and sentence construction. Learning vocabulary is important, but she is most concerned about proper usage. But, when it comes to grammar and construction, I already finished nearly 2/3 of that, so soon I will mostly concentrate on just learning more words!
After my speech at Mindanao Bloggers Summit, I told my teacher that by the end of 2009, I want to be able to give a speech in Bisaya. She told me that it is no problem to do that by the end of 2008. We’ll see!

Hi Dang,
Thanks for the visit here sa akong blog. Nah not much on the cooking but m on my way to that.. I did not cook any (but probably i’ll bake some banana muffin tomorrow -not sure yet) kasi Carlo said its going to be our lazy day
. Tingpahulay daw sa cook niya..:D
mingaw na ko sa atong cookie eating habit diha..hehe. I remember we would always sneak out some cookies bisan init pa..labaw na tong peanut butter cookies, pastilan kalami. You know, peanut butter and oatmeal cookies are the first cookies I’ve baked. Ang una kay sunog, ang ikaduhang luto was good na..hehehe.

Happy Thanksgiving in advance!! Say hi to Mom Feym..tell her I miss her. -mwa-
