Etcetera

My day was full of mixed emotion and overall it was fine. I have no problem with my fam but I was deeply touched with the story of my friend.

How I hate her hubby for all the sufferings she’s been through and I really do hope and pray that her life will change soon. She’s a very nice person and she doesn’t deserve any single tear or heartache.

I know that married life is challenging but I guess when it comes unbearable, unbelievable and there’s physical and emotional abuse involved; you gonna have to let go of the word ‘couple’.

Don’t you think?

I know you are asking about, second chance, work it out..but things have gotten worse already though I still hope that he’ll change.

It’s been a while since I last posted an entry here, I know “busy” word is just an excuse. There were a lot of things that I prioritized rather than taking a note here. Firstly, Carlo’s been diagnosed with high in cholesterol and the following check up was that worse, his cholesterol went down but then he’s sugar is high.

He underwent a series of test and check up and we found out that he’s diabetic. It gave me sleepless nights and I had been crying. Maybe I was over-reacting but can you blame me? But anyway, thanks to the medicine’s here..he was able to lower his sugar and we’ll just maintain his medicine. Gone were the pizza, hamburger, rice, soda and all the fatty food days..

He’s having poultry foods right now as well as veggies, some fruits, plain water and whole wheat. Now I understand why no matter how eager I want to get a 9 to 5 job, I can’t..so this is the reason. You know I do believe that everything happens for a reason.

I’m over with weariness now, in fact I’m here in the base right now, Carlo has an appointment for a nutritionist dietitian and I’m going with him so I know what to feed him too. I mean the balance diet.

So what’s up with my blogging life? I’m pretty busy with my dabawenya babe blog, been kicking some assignments there. Did you know that we were able to save from that blog? That was really a big help for our plans in the future. We do have a lot of biz plans for next year.

Anyway, I bought me 3 domains in total and I’ll try to use the FREE hosting plan from godaddy, I’ll just try if it’s good if not, I’ll get me a hosting plan. The domain was cheap, it only cost me $14+ for 2 domains and that’s a year then the other 1 was around $28 including the hosting plan.

Yeah I bought em from different domain provider, just testing the boat. The subjects on those blogs are already laid out and planned. For sure, 2 of this blogs will NOT be monetized..just an educational blog.

Times up for blog talks, I read my friends’ entry about the ‘rice issue’ way back home. Wa gud ko katulog gabii naghuna huna, I don’t know how would the people survive the scarcity and crisis there. Makahurot og dugo..haaayyyy..lisod huna hunaon.

And one thing that kept bugging me every night was, 3 of my cousins are getting married next year. Worried lang ko because they are just ordinary person’s..unya mahal na ang bugas..unsaon na lang. But I hope they’re making the right decisions….I’ll cross my fingers on that issue.

I shouldn’t be writing this post right now but I can’t help it, mura man ko og apil pud unya wala ko naanad sa scenario ba. I’ve been a lot of betrayal and infidelity pero kato pa man tong dalaga pa ko, maong murag wala ra ba. Murag ok ra, single pa gud so entitle pa nga mu-change og heart ang isa ka taong involve.

Pero mabag-o diay ang huna huna no kung maminyo na? Mura ba og makatindog og balahibo pero who am I to judge them? We both have different ways of life unya ingon pa nila, masipyat gani daw ang kabaw nga upat ang tiil, kita pa kaha nga duha lang? Make sense pud pero it is not an excuse to commit mistake tungod kay tao lang ta unya di pud nato makorek ang isa ka mali nga buhat sa isa pa ka mali.

Bitaw uy, nagbasa basa gud ko karon sa forum nga akong gi-apilan ba nya istorya sila nga naa daw briton og pinay nga napreso. Tungod kay si pinay bisan og minyo na, nanguyab gihapon og lain..ang lalaki kay briton. Nagkauyab sila, ningbisita ang lalaki sa pilipinas unya nabuntis si pinay. Unya gikasuhan silang duha, ang ning-file og kaso nga adultery kay ang bana nga tinuod (pinoy).

Howdy everyone? I haven’t been online until tonight. I am too tired though. I had a busy day. I went to the base with hubby, went to the gym and went shopping for some furniture. It’s a NAF sale today in Holloman AF Base. The stuff’s that were on display are so cheap.

We spend around $105 and this is 2 loads in our truck. Yeah, that’s a lot of shopping. We bought a recliner for only $15, 2 wooden chairs for $10 each. That is really an awesome deal. The side table were $15 each, we bought 2, desk lamps for $5 each we bought 2 of this too and the best thing that we bought is the kitchen ware. I had dozens of kitchen wares and utensils.

That was a good shopping. It was very tiring to load and unload the stuffs but its worth it.

After we loaded our stuffs in the garage, I asked hubby that I’ll go with him and told him to drop me off at Lowes cause I need to buy a potting soil for my onion. One of my onions just happen to grow in my spice jar in the kitchen.

Anyway, Lowes is only 5 to 10 minute walk from our house so I wasn’t worried about hubby going back to his office and me walking back home. I grab a push cart and went shopping. My oh my, I think I got carried away with shopping and I forgot that I’m gonna be walking back home. I bought 5 bags and its like 6lbs each , the moment I remember that hubby can’t pick me was too late. I’ve already paid for it waaaaaaaaaa .

Oh well, since I don’t have the courage to return it, I decided to go for it. Then I started walking back to our house, My God..it’s too heavy and I can only walk like 20 steps then I need to rest. I know I look funny but then what can I do, I’m on that situation already. Then there’s this police car that passed by (this is halfway home), guess what? The officer pulled over and offered me a lift. He has this big smile and to make the long story short an officer gave me a ride back home …yay. Argh!!

So nice of the officer here but really I was ashamed of what happened. Sobrang nakakahiya..di na jud ko muusab. Uwaw gyud ko ay. That’s why instead of resting when I got home, I planted my onion right away and plant some herbs in the pots too.

And this is how my whole day went today.

My meds and phones, part of my everyday companion

I don’t know what’s gotten into me today that I feel like posting pictures , this is probably out of boredom (lol). I’m here in our office room right now, I treat it that when I go to this room I feel like I’m also working .

Because the only companion I have are my laptop, my phone and my meds, I also turned on our TV and listen/watch on some shows. What I like to watch are the cold case files, history channel, tom and jerry (obviously from cartoon network ), CSI Miami and sometimes movies.

When I get bored here in the office, I’ll go to the living room and read some books or pocketbooks. I see to it that I don’t forget to bring with me our cellphone, the telephone and my meds (sinusitis meds) so hubby doesn’t freak out when I couldn’t answer the phone when he calls.

He panics when I don’t answer the phone right away and believe me, even if I’m in our bathroom, I have the phones with me . Anyway, the two meds you’ve seen in the picture are: one is a soft gel capsule for intake and one is a nasal spray. So far they both work good, I have no more nose bleed, no headache so no tantrums (hehe).

My everyday is pretty much redundant but its ok, at least I have blogging to do. This keeps my sanity and keeps me busy until hubby is home. Ohh, by the way, I want to get back on the wheels..I’ve got the courage to go back driving again now (so nervous bout it) that I really want to get a job.

Anyway, the one that you can see in my laptop is smorty , one of the advertisers website. I’m checking some assignments for today. I have payperpost, blogsvertise and so on. Blogging was able to earn me money and I’m quite happy about it. At 2 or 3 in the afternoon, I’m already done with my office hours duty. This time, you’ll find me in my kitchen preparing our dinner. Then around 5 or 6 I’m back here in the office and this time with hubby.

He’ll do his school works, some research, his tagalog lessons while I continue blogging :), that’s pretty much how I start and end my day in my office.

And this is your author showing her picture in the bedroom (kakagising lang )

I got up around 7 in the morning today. I thought this would be a lazy day again since I worked out for 2 and a half hours yesterday, but its not. I feel better and there are no soreness. I’m surprise with my stamina. I never liked eleptical (a gym equipment in the gym for cardio), it always runs me out of energy. But Carlo was coaching me all the time and he said that it’ll increase my stamina if I’ll keep doing it.

And so I did, and true to my coach’s word, I had an hour cardio yesterday. I can’t believe the improvement. And today, I can’t feel any soreness. I’ve always been a butthead when it comes to eleptical hehe, I can jog on the track, run the bike, run on the treadmill but I always skipped eleptical. Thanks to my husband’s patience, I feel so great now.

I’ve been going to the gym to build my stamina for the weather here. I’ve been having a hard time to adjust and thanks for that, (awa ng Diyos) I only got sick two times since I got here. I have no allergies (except for my sinusitis of course -been having this since in the Phils) and no colds. When I was in the Phils, I was never fond of AC (air conditioned) rooms, it gives me colds right away.

So when I got here in the States, I can’t skip it especially that having a cold temp is part of the weather here. Haay..iba talaga ang buhay sa tate

I’ve attended Carlo’s seminar today. He was the speaker and his topic was about “Time Management”. Our plate is full today, we had a dental appointment at Dr. Klump’s office then around 10 we went here on base (I’m in the base right now).

While my husband tackled his topic, at some point (and somehow), the term “do things right in the right way” hit me. Why? It’s because I myself practiced some (not all the time but I do sometimes) ‘manyana” habit. The one that we called “mamaya na”. And I do entertain destructors when I’m doing something, no matter how busy I am, when my CSI Miami or Cold Case is on, I paused everything just to watch these shows. It’s probably because I’m just staying at home and I’m only working part time with my sidelines. I don’t know, this is just probably one of my lame excuses.

My lecturer continued with his lecture and said that schedule and priority is a must. Prioritizing the tasks from A as the most important, B as lesser and C as the unimportant can lead to an 80% productivity. Everything he lectured and shared are all I can see and noticed of him. Being his wife, I know how dedicated he is towards his school, his family and his job.

He is so disciplined and doesn’t let any workloads to pile on his desk. I admire this attitude so much. His everyday routine when he comes home is quick rest (5 minutes) - study and do his school works (2 to 3 hours) and bedtime. Our family time is that I spend time with him in our office and in between his study time, we watch TV shows or drive for 10 to 30 minutes. No matter how redundant it may seem but he’s enjoying every bit of it.

I can’t remember that he gets late on his school paper works, not even in his office works. That’s why his lecture today inspired me and had corrected my habit. I was just a visitor of that seminar (I went with him to listen to the uhmm, and ah –some speech errors so we can correct it later on), I didn’t know that I have so much to learn. With regards to his uhmm’s nor ah’s, he didn’t have any, I’m proud to say that.

Love you hubby, it was a great experience.

I am dying to watch “Meet the Spartans” and “Untraceable”. We planned to watch it today (first day opening) but we later decided not too hence it’ll be crowded. We once watch a first day showing (AVP -requiem) but to our shocking surprise, the available sets are on the front row..the very first row then the movie screen here occupies the whole screen area. ARGH?!@

We’ll watch it tomorrow and sunday :). It’s time for me to cook our dinner (grilled steak, soup, fries, rice ~of course) now, Carlo’s already here; he and Steph went outside to run and to exercise. Be back here after I’m done cooking *blink*

I just finished talking with nanay today, nagtatampo sila kasi di daw ako nakatawag at di rin daw ako nakapagtext nung New Year. But actually, I tried..mga dalawa o tatlong oras yata akong text ng text at dial ng dial, pero di ako makakonek. I explained it to her and she understand me naman. Matampuhin si nanay ko, di lang ako maka-text she would think that I’ve neglected them na.

Haay kapag tumatanda nga naman. But anyway, nanay and I were talking about the family that we’re helping right now. This family is very close to my heart, they are the only people who showed/gave us unconditional love and care. Totoo yan. This family extended their help nung nangangailangan kami, kasi dalawa lang kaming siblings ng bro ko and si tatay naman, nag-iisang anak. Nanay has 6 siblings but they’re far from our town. The nearest relative that we have naman doesn’t seem to care. A simple gesture like watching my mom in the hospital (when she had her leg surgery) or doing the simplest thing that my dying grandpa wished…seeing him..di nila nagawa.

Here comes Uncle Ronie’s family, they are the one who’s always there, filling the spaces that I was expecting my real uncle’s and aunt’s would fill. That’s why I felt so closed with them. They showed and gave us unconditional love. I have so much love and respect for this family. Uncle Ronie, hold on tight..you’re not alone with your battle. I love you as my real uncle and please be strong and fight for your family, for your wife and kids whom I know adored you and love you…for my family who’s looking forward on spending more and more years with you and hey, I am looking forward to see you when I get home. Carlo wants to meet you also.

We attended my husband’s Christmas party last night and it was super fun. His officemates and boss are so nice and I feel at ease with the wives too. The prizes were fabulous and you know what? We won the GRAND PRIZE -a 32 inch SDTV Toshiba.

That’s really pretty nice huh? By the way, here are some of our pictures

This is taken in our table, this is my first Christmas party to attend as a wife :).It feels good
