Wifely Steps

This morning, I woke up really happy. Over lunch, I became really irritable. Now, I feel like crying. And I don’t feel like talking to anyone. I’d prefer to be left alone right now. I am avoiding eye contact with people. Thank goodness for headsets. Don’t mood swings suck? I’d take cramps over mood swings [...]

I haven’t cooked a single dish for a month now. I did cook an egg and some sausages the other night but that doesn’t qualify. My cookbooks are by the kitchen counter, with Rachael Ray’s and Dom de Luise’s smiles inviting me to open their cookbooks and pick out a recipe. I just haven’t been [...]

Will a more accomplished man make a better father and husband? Or will a good father and husband make a better man? Discuss. No no, H and I aren’t having a fight. This is just a topic my friends and I have been discussing. What do you think?

I’ve completed one of my 43 goals: drink more water. Let’s hear some cheers! I’m not a water drinker. Drinking too much water makes me feel like I’m drowning. No, really. I could get through an entire meal without drinking a drop of water. When I got dehydrated weeks back, I knew I had to [...]

If it’s possible, do maintain healthy relationships with your officemates. Great camaraderie with your colleagues helps lessen stress and hey, you gain great friends along the way. I’ve been blessed to have found fantastic friends where I work. Advertising bonds people in weird ways. Maybe because we’re all weird. Yeah, I think that’s it. Or [...]

This month on Blogkadahan, it’s “Ano Ang Gusto Kong Maging Paglaki Ko”. My entry was just posted. I have cute kwento. My cousin Maxine, 8-years-old then, stormed into the dining room one afternoon. She had just arrived from school. She plopped her books on the table and told Wowo, my grandfather, “Ayoko na maging scientist!” [...]

My mind is too rattled to write a coherent entry so pardon the jumps. First of all, congratulations to my kid sister who just bagged a job in the field of Education! Yes my friends, she is now a teacher. Yahoo! Did anyone catch 5 People You Meet in Heaven last night on the Hallmark [...]

Thanks for the Adobo tips everyone! I was going through your comments before my lunch break and I got soooo hungry reading them! I ordered Adobo from the food court for my lunch meal, haha! Okay, here’s another question. I’m getting my Annual Physical Exam next week. That’s composed of the usual stuff: vitals, CBC, [...]

I’ve never cooked Adobo in my whole life. I think it comes with the many recipes I see and have no idea which one to follow. I think it’s about time I learned how to cook adobo. Care to share your recipes? One friend puts hard-boiled eggs in it. Another puts peanut butter (or was [...]

Have you tried this? Turn the shower on and let the water run hot! Is the bathroom steaming up? Good. Now light a scented candle or several candles in the bathroom. I like mine apple-scented. Now, turn off the light so the room’s just illuminated by the candles. Put on some relaxing music (I choose [...]
