buhay misis!

today is my fourth day as a housewife. since i am a full-time graduate student right now supposedly working on my thesis (due on 25 january), i stay at home (syempre, i don't work on my thesis, rather i use the net, cook, and do some other things, basta hindi thesis! hehe!).

grabe! i realize now how hard it is to set up house. jojie and i are staying at his condo unit and although maliit lang yung unit, syempre we make sure na maayos para we enjoy being at home. so far, okay naman. we all have the appliances and the furnitures that we need. konting decor na lang ang kelangan.

kami rin ang bumili ng mga gamit namin sa kitchen. we're particularly fond of our plate set. kasi what we did was to buy a black japanese melamine set. kakatuwa kasi kakaiba tuloy ang plates namin kasi black at japanese. :)

okay naman kami ni jojie sa pagbili ng gamit. basically magkasundo yung taste namin sa mga gamit. minsan lang we argue over the things i would like to buy na he thinks, of course, na we don't need naman. like for example, i want to buy maliit na plastic bowls para pag magluluto ako, meron akong lalagyan ng lahat, like pag na-chop ko na yung vegetables, eh di marami na akong ready na lalagyan. aba! hindi siya naniniwala na kelangan ko yun! haaaay! for now, okay pa naman ako kasi i manage even without the bowls pero sabi ko sa susunod na shopping namin (you know, bagong kasal, we try to limit our gastos), bibili na ako ng mga additional gamit sa kitchen. bahala siya! :)

natutuwa rin ako kasi we really get to enjoy each other's company. what we usually do when we're home is watch DVDs. remember, the first appliance we bought was a home entertainment system? so ngayon, sobra namin sinusulit yun. we watch DVDs whenever we're home and we have time. we pick, in turn, kung ano yung movie na papanoorin namin. like last week, we agreed over dinner na we'll watch a movie (we have this starbucksy dining table na good for two na we really like) pero we didn't know kung ano. so nag-bato-bato-pik kami, up to three, and the winner, of course, would get to choose which movie to watch. i won and i chose godfather. it was both our first time to watch godfather. aysus! ang ganda pala nun. the next free time we had nga, we watched naman yung part 2. we'll watch part 3 soon. :)

the biggest hurdle for me is waking up early. for nearly two years now, i've been waking up at around 9 or 10 a.m. ngayon, since jojie needs to leave for work at 6:15, he needs to eat breakfast by 5:40 so that means i have to be up before then since i need to prepare pa his breakfast. yung baon naman niya for lunch i prepare while he's taking a shower. haaaay! okay lang sa akin yung luto since i really enjoy cooking but the waking up early part? hay naku talaga yun! funny pa nga kasi ever since, my parents have been telling me na i should learn to wake up early raw para hindi raw ako mahirapan pag may asawa na ako pero syempre hindi ako nakinig. haha! kaya ito, nahihirapan nga ako ngayon! :) funny pa kasi my mom called me up early sunday morning (okay, so it was not really that early, mga around 9 na yun). si jojie yung nakasagot. sabi ba naman ng salbahe kong asawa sa mom ko, "good morning, ma... opo, ma... tulog pa po, ma... problema ko nga po, ma, eh, kanina pa ako gising, tulog pa si ging..." eh i was half-asleep so i didn't realize na mini-murder niya na pala ako! when i went to the phone to talk to my mom, sabi ng nanay ko, "anak! gumising ka na! kaya ako tumatawag para gisingin ka at alam ko na tulog ka pa. kumuha ka na ng papel at bolpen at magsulat ka na ng menu niyo for the week!" imagine hearing that on a sunday morning! nagising nga ako! hahaha!

so far, so good. actually, not just good, it's great! nakakapanibago yung bagong buhay pero masaya. hindi pa totally nagsi-sink in sa akin na kasal na kami. feeling ko minsan boyfriend ko pa rin lang na nagkataon lang na nilulutuan ko at katabi kong matulog. hahaha!

the other night i had a bad dream. napanaginipan ko this guy that i used to go out with at sa panaginip ko hindi pa kami ni jojie, ni hindi man lang mag-boyfriend. inis na inis daw ako kasi dumating na naman yung isang guy na yun at natatakot ako na baka akalain ni jojie na i still wanted that person when all i wanted was him. so dun sa dream hindi ko alam kung paano ko explain kay jojie na i want to be with him lang. then i woke up and i saw my husband sleeping beside me. i was so thankful for seeing him, i prayed to god and thanked him for my husband. i am so blessed.
