Posted a bit early for SIL's meme, With Love Wednesday. Anyways, the photo was one of our hundred prenup shots taken buy John Aguas five years ago. No matter how much I rant about my husband, I am thankful I have him to share my life with. I may not be diligent in posting my love notes for him, despite my confusing blog header, I love him.

Aggie wants to know #1

Topic No. 1: Life After the Wedding - the Married Life. What are the things you want them to know about life after the wedding?

it takes a while to get used to sleeping with your husband
once you get used to the warmth, you'll miss it whenever it's not there

it is essential that you value your marriage,
too many temptations and excuses not to make it work
and it takes a lot of work

for practicality's sake
you learn to accept your new surname
you are your own person
you don't have to insist on carrying your maiden name to prove it

its true, you also marry your husband's family
and he marries yours
family fueds do exist once in a while
but a family is still a family

marriage like any relationship is an emotional roller-coaster ride
you fall in love, you feel hatred, you feel numb, you fall in love again

learn to drive, your husband is not your personal chauffer
don't forget to get your license though

Meme : 8 Random Facts

This one is different though as before you can even start, you have to read the list of rules so you can abide by them.

You share 8 things that your readers don't know about you then at the end, tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going. Each blogger must post these rules first.
Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
At the end of the post, a blogger needs to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

** I have to say, this is like the 7 random facts meme hehe

* I have and probably will always have wavy hair. I had it relaxed a month before dani's 1st birthday. I would have preferred milk rebonding but due to limited budget, I made do with this.

* I started running again just recently. In order to attain my ideal weight, I finally got myself to walk-jog-run 2KM+, three times a week at night after coming home from office.

* I love crabs but I yearn for lobsters.

* I haven't had my armpits waxed or "cleaned" ever.. by someone else other than me. Call me timid, but I just don't want someone up close and personal with my underarms hehe. Last I heard though through my friend who makes it a regular visit to a salon for such service, P200 was all worth it, stiff neck and ngalay free!

* My heart is starting to weaken on horror and scary stuffs. I've noticed that as I get older, I'm beginning to avoid such flicks whereas they were my favorites before. I think I got it from my dad :)

* I have two missing molars already. One on the upper left jaw and the other at the bottom right jaw. Finding it hard to chew meat nowadays and my bite is askew :(

* I'm an expert procrastinator. Ask hubby, he should know by now *lol*

* I have profusely sweaty palms especially when I put lotion or any mosturizer on them, add mo pa humidity. It's quite embarrasing really lalo na when you're introduced with someone and you have to shake his hand or pag kakanta na ng "Ama Namin" and you'll have to hold the hand of the person next to you diba? I keep forgetting pa naman to bring a hanky ;p

so there's my 8 random facts. I'll tag 8 people in a while..

How vain are you?

in response to Mhay's tag

You Are 49% Vain

You're a little vain, but more than anything you have a healthy amount of confidence. Thinking the world of yourself is great. Just don't think less of those who aren't as pretty as you!

How Vain Are You?

* * *

try as i might, vanity is still in my vains (este veins pala hehe) i can't deny. i'm not totally kikay, i believe mejo mahal maginvest sa kikay kit kaya most of the time i just settle for Avon's Press Powder and Double Play Lipstick & Lip Gloss. Project lang yan, keri na yan ;) Importante, mabango at malinis ka :D

According to google..

Kitts needs to get better when it comes to farming.
