Photobucket I have been married to Chi exactly 19 months today, July 02. We have been inseparable since October 2004. I can honestly say, without being OA about it, that I knew the moment I kissed him, I was done kissing all frogs out there; I have found my prince. (cue music)

Jan asked this week, “What do you love most about being married?”

:::::There are many things I love about being married, here are a few:::::

  • I have never been more contented & at ease with my life.
  • I have someone to talk to about everything without pretensions.
  • I have someone who will be there for me 24/7.
  • I know I am loved despite my flaws because he says so everyday.
  • I love that we are able to create a whole new being & call it our own.
  • I love the security and the trust that we have built.
  • Mostly, I love being married because I get to be with my prince charming for real & not just a fantasy, we may not have a fairytale worthy love story but still - it is real.

……………. for couples who are trying to conceive, just for fun, read the tips below. We never know right? Hubby forwarded me this email. He knows I want a baby girl next. So at least, we have tips to follow.

Hope it is useful for some of you in planning stage. For those of you do not have any plan in the near future, you can keep it for future reference.

Background:
Man’s sperm consists of X & Y spermatozoa, X spermatozoon decides the female whereas Y is the male. Referring to these physiological properties of the spermatozoa, gynecologists set up the theory of ‘Choice of a girl or a boy’.

1st factor: Food

If you want a baby girl:
Husband must eat more alkaline food, wife eats more acidic food.
If you want a baby boy:
Husband eats more acidic food, wife eats more alkaline food.

Alkaline food: vegetables, fruits, egg white, milk, algae, etc.
Acidic food: meat, seafood, etc.

Yey, so we’ll be spending our weekend at the beach after all. Reservations has been made and it’s all set. Hubby initiated this weekend getaway because he may leave soon and he wanted to spend as much time with us as possible.

LDR (long distance relationship); can I handle it? It’s a sacrifice we have to make to be able to save up. It’s impossible to earn big here in the Philippines unless you have your own business. Being an employee won’t pay as much; with our growing family we can’t afford our own house if we don’t save, save, save!

Father’s Day is almost here. On the 15th of June to be exact, I almost forgot. What will I give Josh?! I was thinking of treating him out on a date then giving him men’s jewelry like a watch perhaps?

Any other suggestions?

I can’t quite believe it. I think I am going to be a single mom for a year.

If everything goes smoothly, he’ll leave 1st week of June! OMG. Can we do this? Actually, I can handle it, 1 year is not so bad. It’s the baby boy I’m worried about.

Also, hubby won’t be here for Ozzy’s 2nd birthday this July….

Will pray for this.

My husband was asking permission if he can go out with his friends tonight. I said, No. He texted me asking for a bit of compassion, blah blah.

I told him that we had an agreement & since he’s going out this Sunday (our family day.grrr.) to watch the Pacquiao Vs. Someone I don’t know fight at Waterfront, he can’t anymore go out tonight. End of discussion.

So after a few minutes, this text from that guy I married came in:

I have seemingly and authentically decided even if it will oppose my utmost pride that I will go out tonight. However, if you could have a simple touch of kindness and overflowing of sentiments to give me a chance so I could watch our own Filipino pride, MannyPacquiao. It would be my pleasure and my honor if you, my lovely and sexy wife could join me hand in hand and see the thrill of UNFINISHED BUSINESS. And as our ancestors said and with an open heart, I LOVE YOU CHE!!!

Weird! hahahah nosebleed to the nth level. So, after much pondering while rolling on the floor laughing, I have decided to say yes. But right after he has completed this permission slip. Thanks for this Mike does Thea require you to answer this as well?

Super funny. Well for those who can relate anyway. This is always an issue with me and my chi since were both young and all. For the record, I am a cool wife, I allow him to go out BUT of course he has rules & curfews, if not followed then be afraid..be VERY afraid.

Happy weekend friends!
