Catching Up Post

Bloggy blog blog. See how time flies without a word on this page. Let’s see – here is a rundown of what happened between the last post and now.

I took 3 weeks off from work to head to the Philippines. Before that, my co-workers threw me a surprise bridal shower (which was really sweet). It was set up as a “fake meeting” on my work calendar.

Getting back home, I learned that in most cases, my closest friends (and family) know me more than I do myself. They also gave me a very touching (and relaxing) spa bridal shower. I learned that the only way for parents to sincerely let kids off the hook is when they see they have a good set of wings to fly as high as they imagined them – or more. We all found relief that Wedding #2 in Manila was over – an equally emotional but different experience than the first. Went to Boracay with the whole family (including David’s) – I saw two yellow fish in the shallows, and people got sunburned. My husband and I spent a few days in Singapore to get away from “it” all.

Now we’re back to our daily NY grind. I’m back at work – back in the rat race, blech. What race? He started at his new job – yay, double income! Being married got us boring. We yawn at midnight during a night out. We clean the bathtub and do laundry in the weekends. We hang out with married friends, and friends who want to be married. ;-) I threw a baby shower for a friend. He became a godfather to his best friend’s new daughter a few days ago. This married couple concept is all over our lives. We deal with having an absentee roommate to save up for – uhm, things we want but not necessarily need. And eventually for a little bundle of joy (note the word "eventually").

But some things don’t change. I still dance to Shakira, we still drink like we’re alcoholics and we still celebrate monthseries. The roaches from my previous post are still in the kitchen too – hiding.
