For documentation purposes, here are some of the movies that we have so far accomplished:
We have 6 DVD's left here, 1 chick flick and the remaining 4 thriller. Mmmmm... This is already getting into my system now...

Movie Nights
For two weeks now, our bonding has been watching late night movies. It is either we rent a movie or we borrow movies from the library: the latter has proven more efficient compared to the previous of course because it is free and they have 7 days return policy. Honey is really a fan of movies, and I on the other hand most of the time just sleep on movies. Haha! I am trying my best though to stay up with him until the movie finishes, but it already happened twice that we had to continue the movie the following morning or night, depending on the wake up schedule. The thing here is, Honey works from 3pm to 11pm daily, when he gets home we will have our late dinner, then shower, then on to watching a movie by 12 midnight or past midnight. Sometimes he manages to come home early during Wednesdays of Thursdays and we could have the movie earlier.

I Want to Kiss Credit Card Debt Goodbye
Whoever is free from credit card debts raise your right hand? I'd like to let you know that I am envious of you and I applaud you!!! Credit cards are invented to give people financial problems - my opinion, if not yet the majority's opinion. Fact is, I didn't know somebody who is not stuck on just paying the minimum monthly bill because the principal debt amount has ballooned already and it is almost impossible to pay it off, thus settling for the minimum monthly bills which make the banks get even more richer! Credit card companies, mostly banks, leave us card holders almost no room to resolve our credit card debt. Unfortunate.
I first had my credit card, as an extension to my aunt's credit card, that was six years ago and back then I knew my limits. I was earning this much so I'll spend this much.I was also careful on my spending because my aunt could actually see the bill and would critique on my spending. I eventually freed myself from the principal card holder's bondage when some bank sent me a credit card that I did not even apply for. I started losing control since then. This is the story of my credit card demise in the Philippines. I woke up one day and realized I spent for majority of things that are not really needed as compared to the things that are important. Things at home and with the family were the things I considered important because I was the breadwinner in an instant. I went broke, and I didn't like it. I wasn't able to resolve my credit card debt when I left the Philippines, and there goes my mom being bombarded with phone calls from banks and credit card companies almost everyday of her life. Poor mom. She has to learn to switch off her phone during day time just to get rid of the phone calls she has no idea about.
Here in the United States though, there is a need for people to build their credit history, that, owning a credit card is more likely to be a necessity than a luxury. Days ago Honey decided he'd make me an extension to his card so I could build my credit history, and the card came this morning. Honey himself is not free from credit card debt. He has to put it on his goal to be debt free in a year's time from four different credit card companies. Tough life! With the recession and I being jobless for a moment, even reducing these credit card debts is already a very big challenge to overcome! I am glad that I was able to marry a man who knows what to do with money or else I do not know how to manage everything financially.
If there is one thing that I really want to happen right now, it is to kiss credit card debts goodbye. For good.

On Beautifying
For a woman, beautifying is a crucial issue and should not be overlooked at anytime! I just got married, and I am afraid to belong to the group of women who get too comfortable with their partners that they don't take time to beautify anymore than they did back during the dating phase. It certainly kills the romance! This is the reason why I take extra care especially when it comes to my skin. As for me, beauty comes out when I am most comfortable with my skin.
Whoever is not familiar with Cindy Crawford? Oh God she is gorgeous! Spotless. Timeless. Beautiful. I happened to come to this site where she is right there in the homepage, flaunting her beauty thru her awesome skin.This site I'm talking about promotes a complete formula of anti-aging products.
So what about this anti-aging products then? Why talk about it all of a sudden? I am just 27 years old but do I really need to use anti-aging products at this age already? I remember my mom used to tell me to not use anti-aging products because it is not age appropriate yet for me! Funny how some moms misconstrue the word anti-aging here. To be honest,at my age, I am already noticing little amount of wrinkles around my eyes, and some frown lines too. I am the most terrified with these lines to multiply at my age that I use heavy amount of cream daily. I hate to be telling this but I guess I should start using some of these anti-aging products while I can still prevent the signs!
Having known this site is just timely and I am already thinking of trying some of the products that I need. I find the site navigation friendly and I like it because it is so elaborate. When you go to their site, you are set to get to know your skin a lot better and you will surely take the initiative to take care of it while you still have time! Come on now girlfriends, lets try this Cindy Crawford-proven magic!

House Chores
This week is me and Honey's turn with the housework.
My mother in law made an alternating schedule for all of us who lives in this house so everybody gets a load of housework. The thing is, there are six of us here and she realized why is it that at her age she still get to do all of the chores when in fact she can just assign it to us! So here comes the assignments, it comes every 3 weeks and we work by pair. It is basic housecleaning plus the cooking. I'm pretty much cool with this idea because I am liking the cooking experience, but just that its unfortunate that everybody will have to put up with my cooking! I cook real bad, everything I cook is just practice, sometimes I cook the perfect meal but most of the times i don't and i pity my housemates for that hehe. My mom back home did not train me to cook, and I regret the days I didn't seek for her recipes because now I sure need some of her homecooking wisdom! I miss her adobo, it is her specialty amongst all. The secret to her adobo is to put more soy sauce over vinegar, or not to put any vinegar at all then add a little sugar to taste, i just learned this lately, and, over the phone. Ohhhh how I miss my mom's adobo...
Yesterday i cooked soy chicken, it is one whole chicken by the way and I don't feel like eating it! Honey and his mom ate some of it hehe. So next I am planning to cook beef caldereta, I already asked for my favorite Uncle's recipe and I think this one will come out perfect! My uncle is the best cook ---EVER! Then what? Just when I am all set out to cook it, here comes Honey telling me "LETS JUST BUY FOOD BABY". Alright ;)

Online Selling
So? How are you my dear HoneyFied blog??? I'm just so into honeyfication lately, or the lists of HoneyFied to-do's lately, somehow i call it all the same ;) ---and that meant no-blogger-posting for a while. Now here I am trying to be back! I want to be around here often too...
So, finally Honey and I got married! This is the most important part of our story but I'll share more of the few details in another entry, it should not be mixed up in here to put value into that life-changing event...
So so so... I AM JOBLESS! What's been taking my time? Copy-pasting, photoshop, pricing, and posting, and expanding my network! Yes! Online selling, and I am conveniently using Facebook to target my hungry and willing-to-spend Filipino friends! When I got here I have not put my hands into this online selling immediately, I don't know why it took me almost two months to do the pre-order thing online. This has worked for most online sellers and I am positive this will work for me too! I want this online selling to go on even if i get me an official job already. Good thing that I know the Filipino market. My short-term goal for the online selling is to get my first sale before the end of January, and guess what? Goal met! ;)
Let me go back to posting first, but I have more stories to tell!

Bed Times
I wasn't able to share that we had to get rid of Honey's twin-size bed because we need a bigger one for both of us. When I arrived, we had to do move some things out of his room to give way for my things. When we achieved the space that we wanted, we decided we had to sleep on the floor for two nights just so we could move freely during our sleep, and I had to share this, we like it on the floor! Basically what we did was to pile up the available comforters so as to have a sound and comfortable good night sleep. The following day, we got an Ikea Malm queen size bed frame! Just perfect. The bed was lovely. Before we knew it, we had to rearrange things again!
This is the first time that I got overly excited with bedspreads. This is not me! Somehow the instinct to care for things at home took over me, and it was automatic. Way back in the Philippines I recall I had once picked a polka dot bed set for me and my mom. I was crazy about polka dots that it was like every pattern I wanted for my bag, shoes, clothes, and the what not! I remember I left my favorite polka dot hanky at home.
Honey and I did a little shopping three days before thanksgiving, and decided to get a gold bedspread for starters. I so wanted to get that red satin bed set, it is just both so devilish and romantic! I want to get us a bedspread with shades of green or shades of blue. I also wanted to repaint our room, change the carpet, change the lights and a lot more! I have a lot of things that I'd like to do around here.
Right now, I am just updating my blog. So this is the Honeyfied life already. Still getting used to the weather and it seems that it will still be months that we have to use three sets of comforters! Now I'm thinking we should get an orange comforter!

Today...
...is officially my 1st week being here in america! Today is Honey's dayoff too so we got time to get me some winter clothes and see Harry Potter.
Its funny how time flies in here, i'm quite amazed because it is not usually like this when you dont have that much to do... But in here though, the interval between morning, noon, and night is not that lazy.
I just finished watching my recap of Imortal via youtube while waiting for the laundry to finish. Lying down, cold feet, cold feet... Literally!

The Honeyfied Habitat
I am completing my 3rd day in America; officially I'm by my Honey's side already at long last! Something isn't right though, it isn't supposed to be this silent! It is supposed to be a noisy world for me! Just this afternoon I heard a prospect friend barked and I'd say I'm glad there is a dog sitting in its comfort right there in the neighbor's backyard.
First things first, I need to proclaim I STILL LOVE THE PHILIPPINES! Oh how I am missing Mr. Sun. I haven't done much around here yet because I think the weather could kill me! It doesn't get this cold in Davao, and worse, I have to expect the weather will become unbearable in the next days! Here comes the reincarnation of the kandingon in a foreign land. This is my survival phase!
20101114
I’m on my way…
I recall thru a song… parang kelan lang… Charing! 22 hours more and I'm going to see Honey again! This time, unlimited na!
20101110
Here comes November!
Five days to go and I'll be on my way to honeyfication! Yesterday I was able to completely free myself from bondage and I'm loving the feel of FREEDOM!
Prepared or not prepared, I'm leaving soon. =)
