Married…with…

Being married really raises the bar of a couple’s expectations, obligations and responsibilities to each other. From simple things that are done or not done, there is that thought at the back of your mind that your husband/wife should or should not be doing so and so thing if only for the simple reason that you are married.

More than being in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, having that ring means that you share your life with that person forever, for better or worse. This means making even more of an effort to be the best that you can be, to give all that you can for the person you married.

In the same way, little mistakes get magnified, with the line, “How can you (insert action here) when I’m your husband/wife?” coming into play.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, marriage is definitely not all fun and games. While it’s lovely to finally be with the person you love, it also comes with its own sets of trials. Marriage can be work; very hard work. If you want to get married, make sure that you’re really in it for the long haul, and be prepared for lots of challenges along the way.

Good Friday

It was SO busy at work today. Since it’s a three day weekend, most people took advantage of this fact by going to the mall. Worked so hard since this morning serving people food and drinks, bussing tables left and right, washing dishes till I had dishpan hands. Ah, the life of an F&B slave.

Was intending to fast today to observe Good Friday, but by 8 pm tonight, I was so hungry that when hubby asked me to buy food for me and him at 7-11, I did, and ate it when I got back because I was already feeling quite faint. Well, my mom did say that God would understand, and that my intention still counts…but still; I feel bad that I couldn’t even fast. Darn lack of self-control!

Talked to my mom and sister earlier..luckily they called when I could take a few minutes away from work..I miss them so much! This is one thing that is so hard about living abroad. Missing my family, missing special moments with family and friends, and just plain not being with them. I’m already looking forward to being with them when they come here again to visit me in June.

Anyhoo, have a holy weekend everyone!
