Couples Talents

Couples Corner is talking about husband's and wife's different talent this week When it comes to talent I may say that I am not a talented person.I am just an average student .I don't know how to dance .I want to sing but the song does not like me.But one ting I am proud of  is my  ability, patience ,persistence and willingness to learn things if I want to.Is that consider a talent? I know I can cook  and hubby loves my cooking.I can sew clothes and do crocheting and cross-stitching well .In fact I got high grades in home economics in high school for these projects.And oh ,I can be a toolman too.I love to do this even when I was a little and now that I am married I do it alone instead of waitng for hubby who will take years before he can move his ass .

My hubby on the other hand is not as patient as me. He easily gets irritated. One talent I love from him is his being a good preacher in his own way.He is just too shy to stand in front of the culprit so he  just do it with anybody whom he can share the words of God with. His favorite topic is God and the Bible. He can talk  for hours about this subject .When son asks me about religion I always tells him to go ask daddy .He is pretty good in computers too .Thanks to him and my son for helping me out with computer queries.Don't ask about his singing and dancing talent coz he is as bad as me.

Hobbies

It is Couples Corner   once again .This time we were talking about  hobbies ,expensive or not.Well, for me and hubby with 5 children to feed expensive hobbies are out of  our vocabulary .Our focused now is to save money  for our future life in the US and  our  little boys education.

For  6 years living in Qatar,we are happy  with just staying home together watching  some movies ,shopping once in a while and eat out whenever we want. Husband likes to go fishing but not here in Qatar so he just settle for  a fishing hobby whenever  he is on  a vacation with or without the kids.

Mine is  cooking and collecting cookbooks ,I have a whole bunch of cook books that I collected years back and a certificate and  a license  from TESDA for cooking and baking course.Take me to the bookstore and you know where to find me.

When we were sick

I am late for my couples corner entry for this week  not because I forgot about it but  for the past few days I don't feel like writing anything.  So this morning I tried again and took me hours to think of what to write about me and hubby being sick.

I hate being sick but I guess I can't get away with it anymore. My both side of the family has asthma  and my grand parents passed it on to me. So hubby makes sure that I always have my medicine with me wherever I go. During  one of our summer vacation to US he brought me to a doctor and asked for a one year prescription of singulair tablets and a discus. I also have a ventolin inhaler always ready  under my pillow and purse just in case I feel difficulty in breathing while sleeping.  But the best medicine is his hugs and kisses whenever I am sick. He always comes home every time I call him at work to take me  to the doctor.

Hubby is not a sickly person  and when he is and I ask  him how he is,  his usual answer is "don't worry ,I can leave for now".

Husband is in Charge of the Kids!

When  I was still working before my bunso was born, I have  nights duty from 4 pm till 10 pm twice a week, my husband always takes care of kuya (eldest). He did pretty good job though, I always make sure to have the food ready before I go to work so all they need is  to heat the food in the microwave. Both of them go to  bed at 7 pm so I don't worry for my son not getting enough sleep while I'm working. I don't mind the house, I don't expect him to do the cleaning and dish washing because he too is tired from work.

When my bunso was born, I quit my job to  personally take care of him. Whenever I am  out for an hour or more,  hubby is in charge of the children  and he don't mind it but I feel sorry for my baby every time I go back home. He was crying a lot looking for me and was pissed off with his daddy. So when he was a little older, I always make sure to take him with me as much as possible and let  hubby alone in the house watching his favorite movies or tv shows while waiting for us to come home.

My Dream Man

My husband is definitely not my dream man.I snobbed him the first time we were introduced to each other and continued watching finding ''Nemo" .  I thought he was ugly,arrogant and not my type even if he is an American . After a month,our  common friend told him to call me because I was bored and needed somebody to talk to. We started talking over the phone until finally he asked for a  date without an idea that we already met before .The rest was history and we ended up being  married after a month. It was a wirlwind romance and everything happened so fast .I actually have a fiancee back in the US preparing for our paperworks for a fiancee visa but things did not push through when I met my hubby. I broke up with him through email.I know it would be very hard for him but it is better that way than just stop communicating with him.I have no regret  being married for more than 6 years now ,he may not be my dream man but he  made me feel that I am his only dream girl and the sunshine of his life.

Who among us never had a dream man when we were younger? I started dreaming of a man I will marry back in high school days.My  mind was  focused on marrying a foreigner, American to be specific .In fact ,I had pen pal's already even if I hardly compose a letter.
Then in college, I thought of marrying a pilot, a high ranking military man  or a lawyer. But things really happens the way you want it to be coz I  got married to an Arab who  was  not  my dream man and ended up  in a divorced after 2 years of marriage.My marriage life with him was hell so I told myself  not to  marry another one from the Middle East  ever again. I was dreaming  of marrying again someday but this time it is either an  American or  a Japanese( I find them romantic and loving).While working in KSA, I met an American who was  my dream man but the wedding did not push through for some reason. He is the man behind my Wind Beneath My Wings post.
 Broken hearted, I went to Qatar for a job but still not losing hope  to meet somebody again who is willing to spend life with me for the rest of our lives .Luckily, I found my loving husband who is now sleeping  and snoring(lakas humilik-chismis mode) beside me.
