Happy Easter!

Honey and I attended an 11 am Easter Sunday Mass today with my mother in law. Today was my second time to attend a church mass in a Catholic community in America. I was glad we were able to make it to the mass, at least we were able to partake the celebration of Christ's resurrection. I hope we could increase our church attendance though... Challenge!

Easter Sunday will always be special for me also because I was dedicated to the Lord on this day, before sunrise.

Black Saturday

Oh well. Today is Black Saturday. My first Holy Week in America just got messed up. People here don't actually observe the Holy Week, as I noticed. I hope the family could gather tomorrow and attend an Easter Sunday Mass.

Alone in the house, I have to cook lunch for two people! Great! Now that has made my chores easier, goody! Thinking of just steaming some asparagus and broccoli and fry that organic meatballs (only that it is not meat but veggies) - but that's what the package said ORGANIC MEATBALLS. Alright then.

Honey is out playing his weekend football, I should be out there too doing my jogs, but today is just another cold day in Spring time again and I am also expecting my period so I skipped. I have been skipping my exercises.

Off to the kitchen.

Fingerprinting for the Job

Today we went to that security services something to have me fingerprinted - part of the hiring process so I could proceed with the training. My fingerprints will then be submitted to the FBI to see if I match some criminal files! The officer who assisted me in my fingerprinting was a Filipina, and I was able to get a little info about the job that I am getting myself into and to some other good paying jobs around town as recommended by her - WALMART. Makes me think, I could really use another job! She told me she'd been there for 11 years and she is enjoying her stay for the good benefits and of course the good pay for a completely easy job. Mmm...

There is this feeling at this early point of the marriage that we are very much careful of dealing with. Both Honey and I didn't want to sacrifice our bonding moments for the money. He was kind of discouraging me actually to get a second job. I was thinking of getting a second job since we wont see each other until after 11pm daily, and I could put myself to work from 6pm until 11pm - I am thinking part time. What do you think? Time is always equivalent to money and I am eager to work as much as I could while there is still no baby. We could use the extra money for some vacation spree. Really. My logic is, I want a second job so we could spend the extra earnings on a far far away vacation spree all to ourselves and experience new places.

Whatever. I am considering going to school as well, maybe to pursue Banking & Finance or get serious with Accountancy and get licensed. Plans.

Will feedback.

The First Real Tears

We resolved our case, I ended it with a hug, and the she-devil cried. I realized I have caused Honey some emotional burden when for the first time in our three years, his tears fell. He was silently crying and he cried for almost thirty minutes with this deep blank stare and I swear I could have just died. I didn't want him to cry, and I do not want to see him cry ever again, the sight was just so heartbreaking.

Case closed. I hope we could get rid of the nonsensical stuff. I also want to get rid of the strawberries in the fridge. Maybe juicing it tonight.

I Want to Declare: SILENCE

The first cold war between us husband and wife had hit us last night - until today. I am not initiating a conversation for the reason that I know myself too well, I do not want to end up with too many useless not meant words that would just make things worst.

The culprit: The Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries


Two nights ago my husband (I cannot event dare write the endearment yet) discovered these strawberry goodies in the fridge. Those belonged to my brother in law and his girlfriend, they made it for themselves. Unfortunately, he got a taste of it and wanted to eat some more. He decided to buy strawberries last night so we could make some to replace the strawberries he ate from my brother-in-law's plate and to make him the strawberries that he could call his own without the guilt of eating a lot. My first time melting a chocolate, i messed it up because a recipe said to put some cream, I sensed he was becoming impatient and declared to stop the making at the end of the fourth piece. I flared up, but I did not say anything. I finished cleaning up the kitchen and confined myself to my closed private world. I had been avoiding to let this side of me go out for a couple of months already but last night just triggered my horns.

In times like this I'd rather not speak to him at all. I was avoiding the sight of him inside our room and it was not easy. The feeling is just too overpowering. I was trying to think out what could have happened along the process of making that effing chocolate-dipped strawberries that lead me to develop this feeling. My horns are just up above me and I couldn't keep it to a place where I could control it. I am letting things be. I need to cool down.

For one, I did not feel good about him cutting down his self-made thrill when I was eager to learn how to make it not for myself, but for him who wants to eat it. It was his idea. For the record, I don't like strawberries and I just can't allow myself to eat chocolates. Another thing was, he made me feel like I really suck in the kitchen, which of course is very common to my knowledge, but was there really a need to make me feel that I REALLY REALLY SUCK AT COOKING, even for the fact that there I was, an eager wife in the process of learning something new for her husband? Lastly, I did not feel he appreciated the effort at all, and he proved to me that his impatience could not make us both work as a "team" in the kitchen. There. I'd stick to these three sentiments.

I curse this chocolate-dipped strawberries. I am not forcing this little issue to last for some more hours but I couldn't bring myself to sanity. My phone is right in front of me but I have no plan of sending out a text.

I recognize the fact that I throw tantrums on overly nonsense matters. This could be the third time in our overall relationship and I insist on believing this is just nothing. I know how difficult it is to deal with me.

Stars & Stripes Cola: New Favorite

Honey and I accidentally discovered this affordable cola from the Dollar Tree on Tuesday. The cola actually tasted good, unexpectedly. I was kind of expecting something that would taste like the Philippine version of Pop Cola, but to our surprise Stars & Stripes actually tastes like close to Coca Cola!

There is this once in a while splurge on canned sodas in this house because my mother in law collects the tin cans and sell them, just like what I used to do in the Philippines, only that in here a pound would cost around $2 and in the Philippines a sack full would just cost around P28.

The Stars & Stripes is a 3 liter bulk and just costs a dollar, it is way worth it compared to buying a can of cola for a dollar. We could actually collect the bottles of soda and my mother in law could still sell them for couple of dollars.

I am getting hungry of soda and chips again that I am afraid I might be getting the lower right abdomen attack one of these days. I promise I'd control myself. Discovering this new cola product implies having to move on into water therapy again.
