Enduring All Things: Part 1

Nag-away kami today. It was our first fight as a married couple and I just have to say na sobrang laki ng difference ng pag-aaway namin ngayon compared sa mga fights namin before. 

Ano pinag-awayan? Well, actually, more of a “misunderstanding” or more of an “I was annoyed” at him type of thing! hahahha! E kasi .. the OC person that I am na laging gustong detailed at by the book meets this impulsive, adventurous, “don’t care what your plan is let’s do this!” kind of guy! Super nakakapanibago .. sa lahat ng gagawin ko! Especially me, na may sinusunod talaga ako na day by day na schedule. May quiet time ako, may nap time, may workmode, may cramming mode, may workoholic, don’t talk to me I’m busy mode ako dito sa bahay! hahahhaa ... Financially naman, may budget ako monthly sa groceries, may budget ako weekly para sa bills, sa pamamalengke .. in short, I’ve developed a habit and super annoyed ako kapag hindi ako nakakapag-stick sa budget ko! Naiinis din ako kapag yung nagagastos ko is wayyyy above my means. Kapag hindi kasama sa budget, hindi ko pwede bilhin. Bibili lang ako kapag may sobra or kapag napagipunan ko siya na isama sa budget! hahahaha .. Pero itong asawa ko ginulo yung buhay ko! hahaha! I usually don’t mind pero kanina kasi wayy over budget kami .. tapos ang kulit binili pa rin  .. (ok lang naman kasi gatas naman ni Gab yun at siya naman nagbayad .. pero ayoko pa din kasi kahit siya nagbayad, hindi naka-budget yun at may paglalaanan pa kasi yung pera nya na yun!) pero minsan kasi (or madalas) di niya natitiis yung anak niya! Kahit ang dami-daming gamit, gatas, vitamins .. bili pa din ng bili! E nasanay din ako na hindi ko inispoil yung mga anak ko. If we have, we will buy. But if we don’t .. you have to wait. Ganun na kasi yung nakasanayan ko .. mejo may mga parts lang talaga na nahihirapan ako mag-adjust! 

So back to the story .. kanina ayun, ang ingay ingay pa niya ineexplain na nakatipid daw kami blah blah .. di ko na pinakinggan kasi nayamot na ko, so walk out mode ako sabi ko bibili lang ako ng gamot. Gusto pa kasi makipag-debate, e kapag nagdedebate kasi kami, kala ng mga tao nagaaway kami .. hahaha, ang sama na ng tingin nung bagger boy .. so nag walk out na ko .. kasi ayoko na isipin nila na gumagawa kami ng eksena .. e kapag magsalita pa naman yun, kala mo laging sampu kaaway! HAHAHHAA .. so yun, nung nandun na sa kotse, tinanong nya ako kung bakit daw ba naiinis ako. Sabi ko, ok na yun, ayoko na pag-usapan (kasi pag badtrip ako, hindi ako marunong magexpress ng galit ko, naiiyak ako, kasi sobrang emotional ako sa ganun) But he insisted we talk about it, so we did! So ayun .. away mode! He was explaining his side, I was explaining my side! Nabwisit talaga ko! 

Tapos there was a moment of silence. Wala naman nagsosorry sa aming dalawa .. hahaha .. di kami ganun na sorry agad! Pero food is one of our love languages! Mahilig kami sa food trip e! So ayun, nag drive thru sya sa Mcdo, he asked kung ano oorderin, sabi ko para sa mga bata lang! Pero nagorder siya ng McFloat (favorite ko yun) .. tapos ayun na .. while waiting dun sa drive thru, sabi ko dagdagan mo pa ng cheeseburger at fries ... ayun .. laughtrip na kami! HAHAHA .. tapos nag-aasaran na naman! haha .. mga timang din talaga kung minsan e! 

Napaka-simple lang nung away, pero yung damage when you let your anger out, malaki lalo na sa side ko na hindi marunong mag-express ng galit .. (he was actually confused, cause I was crying) .. sa kanya kasi, hindi naman big deal yun .. pero kasi sa akin big deal nga yung over budget! hahahaha .. so nung ok na, inexplain ko .. naintindihan nya naman .. tapos nang-aasar na! Weird right? Nagsisigawan lang kami kanina tpos pagdating sa Mcdo okay na? Walang sorry basta ok na? 

Yes! Communication is one of the main key pala talaga sa isang relasyon! Before kasi, hindi kami magkaintindihan e, kasi nga LDR! Mahirap din magbati agad, kasi paano ko i-express sa knya e ang layo nya! Kapag LDR kasi .. everything is a big deal .. kaya kung wala kang tiwala sa partner mo, wala talagang mangyayari sa inyo! Isa pa sa mga natutunan ko, hindi lang importante na iintindihin mo yung ka-relasyon mo .. pero you have to understand his personlity and the way he expresses his emotions and empathy. Like him, hindi talaga lalabas sa bibig nya yung mga salitang “Sorry, I hurt you.” Pero, that doesn’t mean that he’s not sorry for what he did. Hindi ganun yung nakasanayan nya e, hindi din ganun yung personality niya. How did he apologize? He ordered Coke float for me. Kasi if he was still mad ... he would’t order anything for me. I didn’t tell him to order for me, pero he still ordered kasi alam niya na tuwing pupunta kami sa McDo ... coke float yung hanap ko. Did I accept his apology? Yes! How? By accepting the Coke Float and by talking to him and telling him to order more! Kasi if I was still mad at him, hindi ko talaga siya kakausapin .. pero dahil napakababaw lang ng pinag-awayan namin .. bakit ko naman di tatanggapin yung sorry nya, e nag-eeffort naman siya! Ya see? Ya gots to know your love language! Like sa parents ko, my dad ... he’s not an affectionate type of person .. he doesn’t hug me, or kiss me or play with me or tells me that he loves me .. pero alam ko na mahal niya ako at hindi niya ako pababayaan. Bakit? Kasi he’s a strong provider, that’s his love language. Mahilig siya magwork, mahilig siya mag-save, mahilig siya magbigay ng advice ... that’s how he lets us know that he loves us. 

What else? I actually gave this advise to my niece .. pero ayun kasi minsan yung nakikita ko sa mga post sa facebook .. na laging may “Sana All!” 

FYI. Hindi lahat ng lalake, pare-pareho ng trip, pare-pareho ng personality or attitude. We are all made uniquely. Hindi pwede mag-compare. Kapag nagppost ako ng mga ka-weirduhan ni Eymard minsan sa stories, there are women who tells me na .. sana all makulit asawa, sana all nagde-date, sana yung asawa ko  ganito din, sana  ... sana ... sana ... 

Isa yan sa mga cardinal rules in dating or being in a relationship. Never EVER compare the person you're with to somebody else’s partner. Iba maglambing yung partner mo, sa partner niya. Iba yung love language nung partner mo, sa partner niya. Hindi man ganun ka-sweet yung partner mo, pero hindi ibig sabihin na hindi ka mahal. Minsan nakakayamot yung mga girls na nagbibigay ng advise sa facebook na, binigyan siya kunwari ng bahay ng asawa niya, or lagi siyang pinagppray ng mister niya, or lagi siya nilalambing in public .. very vocal si mister niya about their relationship .. tapos magbibigay siya ng advice sa facebook post niya (i see this all the time sa mga married na christian couple”) 

Example, sasabihin niya “My husband kisses me on the cheeks all the time before we go to sleep and when we wake up. Then he always tells me he loves me, he buys me a house blah blah blah, kaya girls, never settle for less .. maghintay kayo ng guys na parang yung asawa ko na lagi ka ipagppray, na ipagmamalaki ka sa mga friends ... etc.”

NO!

Thou shall not compare! Hindi lahat ng guy ganun. Hindi lahat ng guy vocal or showy sa nararamdaman nila. My Dad? I’ve never heard my dad told my mom na He loves her. I never really saw my dad na laging nilalambing si Mama. But, hindi ibig sabihin na my mom settled for less because my dad is not like any other guys na malambing, or vocal, or showy. How do I know my dad loves my mom? Because of his consistency. He is COMMITTED! He’s always there for her. Alam nyo yung vow sa wedding na may part na “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part”? That’s how my parents were. Mom was there for dad when he had literally nothing! And dad was faithful to my mom until her last breath. Kasi yang lambing? Hindi yan nagtatagal. Yung pagiging showy? Hindi rin yan nagtatagal ... as the day goes by, and your relationship matures ... your personalities also matures and yung bond nyo as friends, mas lalalim yun. Kasi when the feelings fade, and when the lambingan and honeymoon stage disappears, tanggalin nyo yung sex, tanggalin nyo yung mga i love you araw-araw, take care, goodnight .. tanggalin nyo yung mga corny hugot lines .. when all the kilig is gone ..  dun kayo kakapit sa friendship nyo. Kung zero kayo sa relationship nyo as friends ... mahirap, baka gumuho kayo. Kasi sa friendship nyo, dun kayo nakakapag-kwentuhan, sharing, dun na bbuild yung trust, dun nyo mas nakikilala ang isa’t - isa! Yang kilig na yan, bumabalik balik na lang yan minsan .. pero para sa akin, yung friendship part yung pinaka-masarap na part! 

O bakit ang layo na naman ng kwento ko? HAHAHAHA .. 

Wala na naman structure! Badtrip! HAHAHAHA ... dibale, promise next time ... direct to the point na ulit! Ngayon lang kasi ako nakapag-blog ... pinapayagan ko na siya mag games (COD, Pusoy, NBA) kasi pag tahimik siya, nakakapag-quiet time din ako! HAHAHAH .. sinasabayan ko siya! Babad din ako sa pc ko or minsan nagsisims ako .. kasi pag natapos na yan .. magyayaya na yan makipag kwentuhan or mag movie trip, or foodtrip ... isa na naman adjustment! Before, nung LDR kami, hindi kami pwede magbabad sa fone, or ayoko sya naglalaro ng mga online games kasi minsan lang kami magkita tapos nanakawin pa ng online games yung oras namin .. kaya sabi ko maglaro lang sya kapag wala na ako! Ok naman sa kanya .. pero ngayon na lagi na kami magkasama .. nagccrave ako ng sobra sa alone time ... minsan kapag nagttrabaho ako (Kasi dami ko reports and everything!) naiinis siya .. kaya sabi ko may permission na sya maglaro .. pero babad pc lang ako kpag nag start na siya maglaro! hahahhaa .. Give and take lang talaga! Sabi niya nga .. bigayan lang kami ng trip! hahahaha

Ok .. sa part 2 na lang ulit!

Decided to make a marriage blog ..called it “Enduring All Things” hence, the title!

Steve had taken Sophie to the Culinary Institute of the Pacific admissions office less than an hour after she’d disclosed more of her past to him and had waited there while she filled out her application. There was a fee, of course, and of course the commander paid for it, much to Sophie’s dismay. She appreciated his help, but she didn’t want him paying her way all the time. “Consider it an investment in the future.” he said, echoing Michael’s words before she’d left Massachusetts. “You learn to cook even better than you already do, I get to reap the rewards of being your guinea pig. It’s a win-win situation.” Steve stated with a bright smile. Sophie couldn’t argue with him, especially when he flashed that mesmerizing grin at her.

She was anxious and on edge every time she checked the mail for the next week and a half. The admissions process was stressful with all the waiting. This was the only school she’d applied to so far and if she got in, she could start within a month. She busied herself with cleaning up the house. Laundry was done, floors swept and mopped, windows washed, on just the first day. Steve came home that night and chuckled as he looked around. “The place hasn’t been this clean in years. You know, you don’t have to do everything in one day.” He gave her a smile and a gentle hug. “It looks really good but seriously. Don’t wear yourself out. You’ve done a lot today. Junior should be here soon. Let’s all go grab dinner somewhere.”

That night was her first time at the restaurant of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. She’d stayed there two weeks when she first arrived, but never dined in their restaurant, always choosing cheaper food from a small grocery store a few streets over. The place was fantastic! The entertainment was amazing and of course, the company was great. She found herself examining the food when it was brought to them, noticing how it was presented and other such things she was sure to learn when she got into cooking school. It wouldn’t hurt to take some notes beforehand.

The dinner was great and by the time the trio arrived back home, Sophie was more than ready to fall into bed. The next few days she busied herself with some light cleaning and some reading. On the third afternoon, she decided to go online to see if there was a craft store nearby. To her happiness, there was! And, she discovered, it was on the bus line. She took what little money she had left and made her way to the shop.

She hadn’t been in a craft store in many years. Brian had never allowed her to do much that she sought pleasure in. Crocheting certainly was off the list. But as she looked around at the rows and rows of different yarns on the shelves, her eyes glistened with tears. She remembered sitting on Nana and Papa’s front porch trying to learn how to begin a project. It took her a few times, but Nana had been very patient with her and exclaimed with joy when she finally got it right.

The blanket that she’d abandoned after her parents were killed still sat unfinished in a box in Michael and Lydia’s garage. Maybe one day she would finish it. But now, she wanted to begin something new. She picked out several skeins of yarn, the colors of camouflage, and found a few hooks that were the sizes she would need. Once the items were purchased, she made her way back to the house and begun what would be a gift for Steve.

Over the next several days, after her housework duties were finished, she worked on the commander’s present. It got a little frustrating on a few parts, but she was able to figure it out and things were coming along quite nicely now. It was almost finished. On day nine, Steve had come in with a few pieces of mail. “Is there a Miss Sophie Russo in the house?” he’d called out, a bright smile on his face. “I have what could be a very important letter for her.”

Sophie rushed out from the kitchen where she was fixing herself a light snack and snatched the envelope from him. She tore it open and her eyes began welling up with tears as she read. She had to read it over a few times before the message sank in. “I got in.” she stated flatly. “They…...I GOT IN!” Her face broke into a huge smile and she flung her arms around around Steve’s neck. “Thank you, Steve!” She showed him the letter, the smile never leaving her face. He, too, was all smiles as he read the letter and congratulated her. “This calls for a celebration! I need to make some calls.”

He went upstairs to shower and make his calls as she sat looking over the materials the package contained. She’d have to get some supplies and books, but that could wait til tomorrow at least. Tonight, she would bask in this victory to reclaiming herself in full. When Steve came back down, he informed her that they were going out for dinner with the ohana. Jerry, Kamekona, Flippa, Lou, Adam, Tani, Danny and Junior would be joining them to celebrate Sophie’s big day.

She once again took some note of how the food was presented but didn’t allow herself to think too much on this. Instead, she got caught up in the atmosphere of the night. Their party was a little boisterous, but everyone was in good spirits and she laughed more than she had for a very long time. That was, until the waitress kept trying to make passes at Steve. Sophie scowled slightly at this, but didn’t say anything. Steve was free to talk to or date whoever he wanted to. One of the times, she noticed Adam looking at her during a scowl and he raised a brow. She quickly looked away and was very interested in the conversation Jerry was having with Lou.

Several times this waitress came back and tried to capture Steve’s attention and it annoyed Sophie. Still, she kept quiet about it. She didn’t understand why she was feeling so annoyed by this. Steve was her friend, her roommate, her employer even. Why was this stupid waitress getting on her nerves so much? Steve hadn’t responded to her advances, Sophie was glad to see, but that didn’t stop the wench from trying. Maybe she’s just trying a little too hard to get a good tip Sophie thought, and put the girl out of her mind to enjoy the rest of the evening.

Much food and many drinks later, the group dispersed to go home. Steve, only having had a couple beers, drove Tani and Danny home, then returned for Sophie and Junior. Once they arrived back home, Sophie sleepily wished the two men a good night and trudged up to her room. She’d intended to work more on Steve’s blanket, but instead she fell on her bed and went right to sleep.

The next morning when she woke, the house was empty. There was a note from Steve on the fridge telling her that they’d had to get to the office early today. She went about making herself some breakfast then did the dishes before putting a load of laundry in the machine. While the clothes were washing, she sat down and worked on the blanket. With any luck, she’d have it finished by this afternoon. The sun was bright and just as she decided she wanted to go sit in the back yard and read for a bit, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and was surprised when a delivery man from a florists’ shop stood there. “Sophie Russo?” he asked and she nodded. He smiled and pushed a beautiful arrangement of flowers toward her. “If you could sign right here……” She signed his paper and thanked him, then took the vase inside. There was a card in the middle that said simply “To Sophie. From your secret admirer.”

Her brows narrowed as she thought about who these could be from. She didn’t know many people here yet and most of those she did were already taken. None of them had shown any interest in her in that manner. She allowed herself a smile when she wondered if they were from Steve. This would be something he would do just to brighten her day, but it was still early and he was at work. He wouldn’t have had time to call for the delivery. Then panic set in when she thought about someone else they could be from. Had Brian found her? Did he know where she was staying? Suddenly, she didn’t want to be home alone anymore.

She was startled by the buzzing of the washer indicating that the load was finished. She quickly shoved the clothes in the dryer, turned it on and made her way outside and across the street to Miss Kala’s home. She knocked on the door and was glad when the woman answered. Sophie asked for a ride into town and Kala grabbed her keys and the pair was off. Sophie tried to keep her panic to a minimum and not let anyone know she was upset. When she got to the office, she greeted Jerry with a smile. “Hey, Jerry. Mind if I hang out a little while? It was kind of boring sitting at the house by myself.” was all that was offered as an explanation.

Day 193

24th December, 2022 4:20PM

🎵My Only Wish - Meghan Trainor

it's Christmas eve na!

continuation of my trip to the Philippines

Day 2

My brother and I did nothing much naman since the only plan I had that day was to meet some of the Manila Office staff and have dinner with 2 of them. Supposed to be 3 but she went home early daw. Since our condo is quite near naman sa Manila Office, we drove around Quezon City area na lang. Went sa Landers and bought some stuffs lang. Then we surprised visit one of our aunt who lives nearby since we dont really have any plans that day.

Since SM's in front of our condo, and I've been bugging my brother to pass by any Jollibee drive thru the night after I arrived just to buy palabok to satisfy my cravings. Jollibee here in Hong Kong doesn't offer palabok anymore and I don't know why. I seriously missed palabok (and I'm starting to miss it again). So, first meal (breakfast) of the day... JOLLIBEE PALABOK!

For lunch, we found this chinese restaurant beside wilcon in Quezon City. Yung chinese food nanaman kinain namin kahit na galing na kaming Hong Kong. lol. Anyway, Ang sarap nung sweet & sour pork nila. Then for our yang chow fried rice, my brother requested not to include green peas. Pero, masarap din naman sya.

Water Melon Shake perfect for the hot weather in the Philippines.

Selfie time. 😂

ohhh I almost forgot. we went Tomas Morato pala just to go to the cafe that I've been wanting to go to called PURPLE 7 CAFE. a BTS themed cafe in Manila.

my brother with Jin beside him and Jimin at the back. Sayang, I wasn't able to take a picture around the cafe til the top floor or even try their foods there. We weren't able to park our car outside the cafe since it was full kasi. So we just parked sa gas station beside the cafe. Of course, bawal yun since hindi naman kami nagpa-gas sa kanila. A staff tried to stop us but we told him na we're not going to take long and we're just going to buy something quickly and if he could give us at least 5 mins lang. Thankfully, he agreed so we had to make it quick talaga. Di bale, next time. I'll make sure to go and visit again.

Suga & Jungkook 😍🥰💜💜

Yan din yung binili ko sa PURPLE 7 CAFE. It's a fanmade product by BANGTAN STYLE CLUB. I've been wanting to purchase it. Lagi ko kasi nakikita sa tiktok. They're also available sa shopee. So, if may gusto sa inyo and you're in the Phil, naku. bumili na kayo. Maganda din yung quality nya at may mga kasamang freebies pa. I also bought a passport holder pero hindi ko na napicturan.

here's their shopee link 👇

Dinner at SM North. after dinner, hinatid namin sila sa bahay nila. tapos my brother and I decided to go sa food park na nakita nya online. pero yun nga kala namin kung san nanaman kami dinadala ni waze. actually ang plan namin is to go Okada pero biglang change ng plans. When we arrived dun sa food park, closed naman na. kala namin wala na dun medyo mahirap din sya hanapin. Then medyo maaga pa naman at ayaw pa namin umuwi, nakita ng kapatid ko na if diretsuhin namin yung way papuntang Taytay Rizal na. Edi bigla naman din kami napunta ng Rizal since one of our friend was also in the Philippines at nasa Rizal. Tried contacting him along the way pero hind sya sumasagot. Tried looking for our past conversation lang kung ano malapit sa kanila. As in landmark lang and the baranggay name, Hindi namin alam kung san mismo bahay nya. Nung nandun na kami sa baranggay na yun, nahanap ko din yung landmark na sinabi nya pero may dalawang kalye kasi na pasukan so hindi namin alam kung alin dun at san dun since may mga bahay din naman outside like beside the restaurant na binigay nya as landmark. Next na ginawa ko naghanap ako sa mga live nya sa facebook just to see kung ano itsura ng labas ng bahay nila. It wasn't hard to find naman. nagulat pa sya nung nahanap namin sya hahahaha. Minsan talaga pwede na ako maging detective eh.

after namin mag-stay dun ng 1 hr or so, umuwi na din kami ni oti. since almost 2 hrs din yung byahe namin pauwil. we arrived home almost 4am na din. another day sulit diba?

end of day 2
