HerStyler Curling Iron

Honey bought me a curling iron last night, haha! He got tired of listening to my rants everytime I see blonde teenagers or just regular teenagers wearing curls! There ya go, one big iron curler for the wife.

I had given up on my hair a long time ago. I discovered I took after my grandmother's not so wonderful hair and mine is just the Lion King or the Tazmania Devil version. For some time when I was in the Philippines, I've always managed to have my hair fixed in the salon, I get to have a rebond treatment for every 8-12 months, that way, my hair could stay manageable and I could just wear it down without further ado everyday. Here in the States though, unfortunately, going to a salon will cost me a lot, so for some time I just settled on pony tails and braids, UNTIL LAST NIGHT!

I just tried my iron curler today and it seems that I need to consult youtube for curling tutorials. I hate it how some girls are just born so stylish and I am not, haha! Nah, I am learning. I should be learning, don't you think? This is the economic times.

Initially, this product is so far okay and I could attest that the curls would hold longer probably up to 6 hours as compared to when using the regular plastic curlers from the olden days. I registered it for warranty just in case because Honey spent $130 for a single curling iron, so so so, I had to be extra careful, especially so because Honey's spending style on this particular product is really out of pattern haha!

Here are just some of the curls that I want, ideally I would really love to wear big curls...

I should be getting on learning how to achieve these big curls so I can wear it to work in Tuesday hehe... I still have to buy me that heat protectant for my hair though. Will update on my curls some time... See ya!

Wedding Videos

Funny how I'm suddenly stuck in watching celebrity wedding videos. Grooms crying watching their lovely brides is really something that got me particularly. It is weird to have this wedding dream come to me five months after I got married! Haha! So therefore, there is going to be another wedding -- a beach wedding --- in the Philippines soon!

Looking at the pre-nup photos is another thing, I'm like, okay, let me actually scan for nice shots and possible themes and poses haha! Thinking of black and white. Mmmmmm... I will discuss this with Honey so we could prepare the budget! Obviously, however I want to keep the wedding attendance at the minimum, it is just so impossible because Honey's got a bunch of relatives, so thus the "BUDGET". Well, thinking about it now, we could just have 25 selected guests at the wedding, and wedding parties just have to be hosted at places where everybody from both sides could attend, that way I could achieve my dream beach wedding and could stretch the "BUDGET" for all.

Thinking of Malipano Island... in maybe two years time. =)

My Forced Chauffeur

Honey, for two weeks now had been forced to sleep early in order to wake up early and drive me to work. That is but only a good husband's call to a wife that wasn't allowed to take the driving test yet. My forced chauffeur, only that he wasn't paid for it and he sure isn't driving a luxury car.

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.

Don't Go Breaking My Heart

I found a new karaoke song worth practicing! Humanda sa next party! HoneyFied practice mode!

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.
