Frankly, you’ll find some of the other fictional works you’ve been reading to be more interesting. ;)

thanks for visiting my site…kakatuwa naman ang 7 rules mo…me and my dh (darling husband) have this kind of arrangement too. siguro ganoon talaga especially if both of you work, kailangan mag-tulungan. ako i make it a point to go further:

laundry- whoever sorted the clothes and put them in the washer, will not be responsible for hanging them to dry.

folding clothes- whoever folds will not have to arrange them into the drawers

floors- whoever vacuums, will get to watch the other as HE mops the floor.

trash – recycle! MWF’s i dispose the garbage, on other days, he will have to do it.

grocery shopping- i shop, he carries.

minor repairs- whoever broke it, will be the one responsible to call the repair guy.

bank errands- money..money..money…i handle the finances! easier that way! (hehehe..)

etc, etc…

sorry, i got carried away…feeling ko nag-blog na ako! and all i wanted to do is to express how happy i am to see another booklover! (ang layo, ano?!)

anyweyz, have a great day!
