The week has been one heck of a roller coaster ride. From the effects of Ondoy to having to carry on with work to dealing with personal issues – these things have basically broken me down. I know that what I am going through right now is nowhere near what my countrymen are [...]
Taking Compromise To A Whole New Level
I think that’s what’s happening right now. We’re both tired. We’re both wanting things to go the way we want. We’re both trying to get what we want. In many little ways, they’re different. But the ultimate goal remains the same. Hence the unspoken compromises we make along the way.
We’re making headway. One day at [...]
Lost in Translation?
I don’t even know if that title is apt but J said some thing that just cracked me up the other night. We were going to sleep and were having one of those inane conversations that we often have. I forget what it is exactly that we were talking about but I do [...]

Case in point. J has to go to the Immigration office to pay his annual fee and renew his i-card. He should have done this weeks ago. He meant to. He always means to but somehow never gets around [...]
Don’t Let the Sun Go Down…Or Let It?

I used to hold on to that belief. Now, I am not so sure anymore. [...]
On Being a Dutiful Wife
They say that when a woman gets married, she leaves her family and her husband becomes her first responsibility. Is this really true and right or is it just tradition? Sometimes, I find myself still caught in between my husband and my family. Worse, I find myself being pulled from three different [...]
Holiday Differences
It never ceases to amaze me just how different J and I are. It certainly makes life a bit difficult BUT it also ensures an exciting time together. We are always adjusting and discovering new things.
Christmas – and holidays in general – is one of the times where our differences stand [...]
