Celebrating the First Monthsary

We are 1 month old! Yes, we are celebrating our first month as husband and wife. And so far so good… we haven’t fought or throw things at each other yet… (not that I’m wishing for it.. oh gosh please no!) . It has been a fulfilling and nourishing married life for the past month. And to celebrate we had dinner at Friday’s. And since we are both gaining weight (again!) we just ordered a French onion soup, a grilled chicken cesar salad and a cajun chicken fillet fingers.

We passed by powerbooks afterwards and I saw the book that Maya has been looking for, (P.S. I Love You by: Cecelia Ahern) so I bought it for her and after lurking for a while at tower records, I saw this DVD copy of The Notebook – one of my favorite movies that made me cry a bucket of tears. A good deal for just P299. So I asked Adrian if I could buy it, and told him that this can be his gift to me for our monthsary. So as soon as he said yes, I walk to the cashier and flashed my credit card ready for a swipe. I can’t wait to watch it.. now I have 2 DVD from Nicholas Sparks’ novel, A Walk to Remember and The Notebook... every girl loves a great love story.

Home Needs Improvement

You might be wondering why I have not been blogging about my so-called married life. It’s not that I don’t want you to know about it, but I'm just really busy with work and when I come home, we have to have dinner and do the dishes. By the time I’m done, no energy left to blog. Oh, an also the fact that my husbands plays Khan and Guild Wars in the computer so I can't use the other computer to blog. I think we really need to get DSL at home. Right 'Be?

Our apartment is still a mess. I just hope one day I’ll be able to put everything in place so I can already display the different candles and little jars that were given to us as wedding presents. I’m already itching to put my creativity in our apartment...it badly needs a touch of a woman, hahaha! I also can’t wait to bring Maya to Regalong Pambahay and pick out some native storage boxes (which can work both as a storage of magazines, all my hand bags and other small stuffs as well as center table if put together). I have been collecting Real Living magazines to keep me updated with styles and designs.

Anyway, life of a Mrs. is all that and more. Lately I have been too lazy to get up early in the morning to cook breakfast for us. I think it will be awhile before I can really get out of my sleeping addiction. Other than the breakfast cooking challenge, I’m quite at easy with everything else. We just need to sort out who’s-who going to do the washing–rinsing-hanging of the clothes and cleaning the bathroom. The rest, we do it together --- the grocery, marketing, cleaning the house, showering (opps.. that’s not suppose to be in the category of chores ...hehehe!).

We are fast approaching our first monthsary (wow! how time flies these days!) and I can’t wait for October 3. Am I going to cook him dinner this time? Are we gonna eat out and watch a movie? Or is he gonna have a surprise for me? Well I don’t know ... comeback here on the 4th so you’ll know.

Crazy Claudness and I, on day 1 of our no-smoking challenge

first dinner at home

We were excited to have our first dinner at the apartment, after work, Adrian went to the talipapa (small wet market) to buy some pork chops and tilapia (my favorite fish). The meal was not lavish but it was enough that my husband cooked it for me to be as special as a candlelit dinner at a fancy resto. So sweet it is to be loved...I admit that I'm no cook (at all!) but that will be my goal for the next 2 months to be able to cook for him. Ha! Good luck.. I need those cook books fast :)

Of course we used our new Corelle Dinner Set (thanks to Dom and Kim for this wedding gift.. so nice!), Adrian cooked in our new Meyer cookware (thanks to Richard and Ellen for this very useful gift) and our new 72 piece Oneida flatware (given by Lolo Ben and Lola Inay), but of course we didn't use all 72..hehehehe! we just took 4 pieces of each spoon, fork, teaspoon, knife and serving spoon and fork. It made our dining more enjoyable even though we were surrounded by boxes and litters of my things and luggage.
