A Simple Married Life

Not just embrace. Not just hold hands. Not just a hug. I want to be cuddled forever!

Well, maybe not forever but at least for a very long time. You see, there’s more to cuddling than just hugging. You don’t just wrap your arms around the one you love. With a cuddle, you give more than that.

You plant a kiss every now and then.

You vary the pressure of that special hug. You hug hard to tell your love you don’t want to let go and you hug lightly to tell her you will never hurt her.

You talk. Yes, you talk when you cuddle. You talk about your future or about the wonderful day you were both having.

You whisper sweet nothings. You remind her that even though you’ve been together like forever, that you still get excited when you’re with her.

Oh, and have I already said that you should plant a kiss every now and then?

I already have a name for our first-born. But it’s a girl’s name because we’re hoping it would be a girl.

It’s Mary Noelle.

Mary because I want to name her after the Holy Mother. Noelle, that’s a variation of my boyfriend’s name.

We still have to think of a boy’s name. But we would like it to start with M, too.

How are you?

I just read an email from an acquaintance minutes ago telling me that she just got married. She and her hubby decided to join the 08-08-08 wedding bandwagon. She said it was a simple, intimate ceremony and that she’s  really happy until now, hmm, it’s the feel of ‘honeymoon stage’ I guess.

I wished her well. That’s when I realized that I’m starting to think about it again. For those who just checked out our ‘love blog’, Johann and I are not yet married. We are not ‘living in’ either. We are still trying our best to save a significant amount before we take the ‘plunge’.

I admit it. I felt envious about her situation. Period. ;(

How about you? Did you feel the same when you were still single?

I felt so stupid today.

I opened my laptop, turned it on together with my modem and clicked on my Firefox browser. It flashed a message saying I wasn’t connected to the internet.

So I checked the modem and it sure was missing some blinking lights. I turned both laptop and modem off and on again, clicked on my browser and saw the same message.

I was feeling so frustrated when my eyes caught something lying on the floor.

It’s the LAN cord! I forgot to plug it into my laptop.

I made a palm-in-my-face expression and connected the cord. And now, I’m online again!

I can’t believe how stupid I was.

Have you ever had a moment such as this? Something that made you feel like you’re the stupidest person in the world? ‘Coz I sure did feel like that today.

How do you blog if you’re having the same challenge like him?

Some people say that if you want to know your partner better, try to meet the people closest to him.

That’s why I went with him last weekend to meet his former college classmates (who became his friends even after graduation). At first I really don’t know what to do or how to blend in their conversation. They always mentioned people that I don’t know. They talked about journalism stuff and other journalistic jargon. But after a few minutes, I just found myself laughing with them and answering their questions about me and Johann.

They told me positive things that I didn’t know about him. Those information made me appreciate my boyfriend more.

How about your thoughts? Should you meet your partner’s friends?

This might be a simple topic to discuss, but have you talked about it before you married your spouse?

Let me share with you what my boyfriend (always) tells me whenever we watch television. He kids that if we will get married, he’ll make sure that our television won’t have ABS CBN Channel ( Channel 2 - one of the major broadcasting network here in the Philippines). It’s because it seems that I would always dominate the shows that we are going to watch everytime we had the chance. So in those scenarios, I was the one who always hold the remote control.

Well, of course if he’s giving me those lines, I know that I need to share the ‘control’ with him, so I allowed him to change channels every now and then. That made me realized that it should be the same thing if we will get married. We should give each other the chance to hold and take control of our marriage.

Again, it’s Just like when we watch television.

How about in your relationship? Who holds the remote control most of the time?

Yesterday I talked to my mom about some things that I have to do before I get married. We were discussing a lot of things from savings to getting a new house to having a baby when she told me that I have to lose weight.

It’s my problem for years now. Well, especially now that I am thinking of losing weight for a lot of reasons. I want to do this now. I want to start now, but I want to solicit some suggestions from you.

I had a colleague who lost so much weight because of south beach diet. I read some information and testimonials online but I wanted the words to come from someone who can really give me a first hand account on how this diet helped him/her lose weight. Would you encourage me to do it or not? Is it fine to have my own south beach diet preparation or it’s better to purchase the pre-packed meal order instead?
