the wealthy barber

it has been about a week now since ive been obsessed with starting the ball rolling on our financial prosperity.....investment....investment.....investment......you know what? things seem to be falling into place ...... a cooperative partner, supportive superiors, prospective position ....... the future is looking bright!

rubbery waffles for breakfast and eating good food

as a wife you are tasked to do a lot of new things, for me, its actually hoards of things that i am unaccustomed to......cooking is first and foremost
to celebrate our first month as husband and wife i tought it would be special to do something i dont really do, cook of course and what happier meal could there be but breakfast! ive obviously been planning this the whole week and bought my batter a few days ago. i got up extra early (not really....hehehe) and we opened the fresh box of a waffle maker that i hand picked from the registry (thank you DrRS). it looked easy enough.....i read the instructions at the back of the package of the batter and surprised to see that i needed 2 eggs (i thought it just needed water) so i had to send the help to buy them. it seemed so easy......and the product smelled so good! but my hopes were dampened when we sat down with coffee and the morning paper to match......the waffles were tough and rubbery!!!! boohooohooo! but it did look and smell good! so there......eat the pictures! hahahaha!

fruits of my morning labor

i resolve that maybe it really is better to eat out and be served! last night we started our celebration by having dinner at the ever nice silk thai restaurant in serendra.....the food were all so good! the service was great (i just had to give extra tips)

who wouldnt love Tagaytay

i dont think ive ever known anyone who didnt love tagaytay, even after just staying a few minutes. i cant really remember the first time i went there but, i think it must be with my family ..... i do remeber that i have been there many times and each time i thought "this is the most beautiful place near manila!"
in a few hours, it will be one month ago that this beautiful area near manila became one of the most special place in my life.
Love and Tagaytay......it just seems to go hand in hand....

Firsts....more than meets the eye

what better way to celebrate the first friday but to be able to hear mass, get an offer of help to train abroad and end the day with our first local date as husband and wife! it was so funny, this morning i fixed up just like i would as if i was going out on a date with a boyfriend and i was really excited the whole day.
to celebrate our 1st date, during our 2nd week as a couple, we went to watch the ever talk of the town TRANSFORMERS (more than meets the eye)! now this was not exactly planned to celebrate our 2nd weekersery but because i was sick last sunday. i was in bed the whole day snoozing waking up just to eat a piece of meat for dinner. the next day i still felt sick and stayed home. it gave me some time to tidy up our room which was still cluttered with wedding and honeymoom stuff.
which brings me to my first couple "skirmish".....
actually, this issue is really all about me. i got kind of ticked off because after our HK trip, i was back on duty the next day then the next. and all the things that were left from the wedding and trip were just as they were! even papers on the table were there! i cant imagine that my better half didnt even lift a finger to throw extra plastics, keep our papers, or any of the sort! the OC person that i am just got the better of me! even our gifts! the towels and sheets are still in the boxes not even placed in the laundry to be cleaned and used. so now were still using crummy towels and old boring sheets!
then i thought.....my gosh, did my better half think it was my role to clean up?! REALLY?! when i told my married friends about it they said that most probably it was the case *frown, frown* how can i be a housewife and be a resident at the same time?! the bigger question is, how can some of my coresidents be a housewife, a resident and a mom at the same time?! boohoohoo the undomesticated me......
i think i need more time for this new responsibility to sink in.
durng these slight dips in my cloud nine state i just keep thinking about our wedding day when my better half came thru as my night and shining armor.....then im back in love again =)
