My Married Life

Yesterday officially marked our 1st month as husband and wife. It’s been a while since I have last posted here in my blog. These past few weeks were spent with a lot of errands since the “one week before the big day” started. Ever since I started my two week leave, my life went around preparing for the wedding, packing/unpacking my clothes, practicing loom bands and fixing my name. I think that explains all – why until now, I have yet to do the reviews for my suppliers. And by the way, I have to thank my suppliers once again. I still owe them big time.


I’ll make a separate blog entry about the wedding. Right now, let me just express myself as a newly wedded wife. After the wedding, we enjoyed a 5-day vacation in Bali, Indonesia and went back to reality. Life then became a little different. I started living in Bulacan, well, temporarily in my in-laws. We're waiting for our house to finish probably this August or September and then we're good to go! Living with my husband's parents' house isn't a nightmare at all just like what I hear from some people. Not only did I have another half in my life after the wedding day but also I have had another set of parents who treat me as their own just like how they do to my husband and the rest of their children. My husband told me one time, "Hindi na ako ang paborito, ikaw na ang paborito ngayon." 

Coming back from vacation, I have a backlog of emails that I need to catch up, a ton of report that I need to work on, and of course a dozen of stories I need to hear from my team and friends at work. It was good returning to work carrying a brand new surname, "Javier". But tons of paper works ate up my time after we got our marriage contract - I need to update everything. I still have yet to do bank updates though and I need to make a list to keep me on track. 

My husband and I agreed to spend weekends in our house until we transfer to our own. The first time we went home, I went to our room and saw my sister lying on my bed. Not only did I think, "my sister invaded my bed!", but made me realize I'm really on my own now together with my husband. When I saw my brother when I woke up, he greeted me smiling as if he also wake up from reality that his eldest sister has just got married, lived to another house and he's so happy she's there for a while to spend their weekend with them. I realized I missed our house and my family, my comfort zone. But life has to change when you enter in to marriage and the first thing to do to overcome fears after marriage is by welcoming in your heart your other half's family. 

Just be appreciative - that's the key to having a smooth relationship with anyone - whether with your in laws, friends and your own family. I lost my bracelet yesterday and I was so sad. But my husband told me, "isipin mo nalang mabibili nila yung mga kailangan nila sa nakapulot or nagsnatch ng bracelet mo." And that welcomes me to what my mother-in-law teaches us - good karma. I feel bad, of course but I just wished someone's life gets better because of my bracelet. Whether a boy gets it and gives it to her girlfriend or mom or uses the bracelet so they can eat - it doesn't matter, so long as someone gets happy because of that. I believe in good karma - and when something gets wrong, something better will come. This belief erased the sad feeling within myself and this happened because of what my husband told me last night.

You see, having a better half helps you become a better person. And I am so lucky I married the man who slowly brings out the best in me. That's why they say "BETTER" half - that person must better than you to teach you the best things in life.

Happy first month to my Husband! :)

Worries of a Soon-to-be-Mom

Gestational Diabetes- that’s what my OB has been suspecting that might have two weeks ago when I had my check up. I’m guessing it was the mangoes, juice, and white rice and I thought the amount I was eating was just enough to satisfy my craving. But it seems not- though my endo was not really worried about it because my blood sugar and urine tests show normal results, my OB still insists I might have one. I was even thinking my OB is just over-acting on the situation and even still asked me to see the in-house endo in the hospital where I will give birth. It worries me a lot though – I see my daughter getting bigger everyday. I feel very normal though – I am not a big preggo mom. But with that suspicion, I needed to prick my finger three times a day for two weeks to check my blood sugar. All of these foods are very tempting but I’m doing this for my daughter. With that saying and to tone down the stress level, I’m avoiding hearing negative vibes around me- that I need to do this a...

Cooking Fever: Gising-Gising

I cooked this once for my husband to satisfy his spicy taste. I first tried this in Recipes and found it yummy. :) Ingredients: Garlic, chopped Onions (Red), chopped Baguio beans, chopped into pieces Ground Pork Red Chili Pepper, chopped Green Chili Peppers (Siling haba) Coconut milk Salt, pepper and soy sauce to taste 1. Saute onions and garlic. Add the ground pork. 2. Add a little bit of soy sauce to taste.     3. Once the pork is cooked, add Coconut Milk. For this recipe, I used the instant ones (just add water!) but I think it'll taste better if you use those you can buy from the market.  4. Add Baguio beans (not string beans!) and all the chilis - depending on your taste. I used less red ones but separated my share because I'm not really into spicy food (except sisig!) 5. Put salt and pepper to taste 6. Serve This is my first blog to write about recipes so please pardon my instructions. I really do not know...

Little Big Things: Baby Needs

Little Javier is halfway on its journey to see the world. Just like preparing for a wedding and moving to a new house, baby preps are just as exciting. I’ve been doing my research lately and my husband and I never get tired of window shopping for baby needs. Here are my top picks that I can’t wait to get for my little one: 1. Breast Pumps Breast milk is still best for babies. Being the eldest, I’ve learned how to feed my siblings while they were young except of course, breast milking them. As far as I can remember, they were (or we were) Promil kids and I was very used to mixing the formula powdered milk and water. But nowadays, breast feeding is very well-promoted. Even hospitals do not allow formula milks for new-born babies. I’m setting aside an amount to invest for breast pumps (and the accessories). After all, you’ll be saving a lot for formula milks. Planning to get myself a manual pump first – just to check and then later on, get an electric one. I’m a workin...
