Mein Schatz, Soon we will be celebrating our fourth year of marriage. Wow. I can hardly believe that we’ve been married that long already. Where did the years go? I didn’t notice them pass by. And that is not to say that we haven’t done anything exciting… in fact, those four years are the m...

From the time I started web designing to now, I’d say, I have come a long way. Of course, it’s still a longer way to go before I can say that I am already a pro when it comes to web designing, but I am glad of my progress. Considering the fact that I have no formal education on this field I shou...

It’s been five months since I last updated this blog. That’s a matter of fact and it makes me feel quite ashamed. This blog is, without a doubt, the most beneficial blog I have. Not only to me but also to a few who find themselves reading my blogs (whether they are regular readers or just leads ...

Anything computer-related interests me. I would have taken up computer science in college if not for the very expensive tuition fee. Teaching is my first love but taking up Bachelor in Education was my second choice. That may sound weird, but it is like that. Back then, BEEd was the most affordable...

For weeks now, I have been busying myself with learning HMTL, CSS, and a bit of PHP. I still have a lot to learn and I think I reached the part where it’s all too difficult for me but I am not stopping. I will continue to learn as long as I have the time. Who knows how much time I will have when m...

While my husband and I were in the car driving somewhere last weekend, we’ve been randomly talking about things and people we both know. I don’t like to go into too much details but our topic was European-Asian relationships. At some point, I asked him why he does not like to hang out with a cer...

It’s been a long time since I posted an entry in this blog and I would like to start this entry by writing how much I missed teaching, but that would make me a fraud because that is not how I feel. Not even close, not even a bit. I don’t miss teaching at all. I don’t miss the endless prepara...

I usually cook for myself during the day. It’s my time to enjoy Filipino food that my husband dares not touch. It’s my time to cook some thing without worrying if the smell will bother anyone. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that Filipino food stinks. Being a Filipino, the smell of fish pa...

In our culture, it is a common practice that it is the wife who manages the family income. Every payday, the husband would hand over his pay envelope, containing his complete salary, to his wife. The wife will then give her husband an “allowance” and budget the rest of the money for household ex...

When I got married to my “Mr. Right”, I know, but not exactly sure, what is waiting for me in his country. Since hubby lives, works, and comes from Germany, I have to be with him. As the song says and I quote; “I’d do anything in the name of love”. In most of interracial marriages, wives...

Teaching is my first love and I know that I will always come back to it. At this point of my life, I feel I need to temporarily leave this profession to accommodate a new member of our family. Yes, I am pregnant! In one of my previous posts, I expressed my desire to become a mother after being mar...

Every woman always desires for a simple and a headache free life. Meet the man of her dreams and build a happy family. In short, I am one of them.  After having two relationships, two break ups I have told myself that I have had enough. The last break up even made me left the Philippines and looked...

When I was young, I never thought of marrying a foreigner. In fact I was scared of them and always thought that they have bad attitudes and bad smell (please forgive my ignorance).  I did not realize that I was wrong until I moved to Dubai to work there.  Working in Dubai gave me the chance to mee...

I decided to quit teaching a few months before I got married and the very reason to that was because my husband’s job doesn’t allow us to stay in one place long enough for me have a steady teaching job. No school director in his or her right mind would like to hire a teacher who disappears every...

I got my teaching job last summer and I remember quite well how I wished the summer would end soon so I can already start teaching. Haha. That was a year ago. Right now, I wish the summer would stretch longer so I don’t have to go to work soon. I still have a month of vacation and God knows how I ...

I am so glad that my summer break is finally here. I can relax a little bit and focus on the things that entertain me like reading and writing. In these six weeks, I also like to cultivate my new-found interest in gardening but perhaps, I should postpone that until next year because my husband and I...

Dear Schatz, I am super glad that I have a week off. It’s good for me. A week off my stressful work is really a blessing to my wilting soul and should be celebrated by just being lazy. Yes. Being lazy—sitting around, doing nothing, eating when I am hungry, and sleeping when I want. I feel the n...

Dear Schatz, The last weeks have been physically difficult for both of us and to tell you honestly, I haven’t been coping well emotionally either. I probably just can’t handle such stress that is why small things easily get to my nerves and I am becoming too touchy too. I don’t remember blog...
