Husband decided to take a training on swimming. He can swim alright but he wanted to learn to swim the right way. Who knows, he might be interested in taking a training on running and biking after. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to join a triathlon.

Basically, I like the idea since it would entail losing some weight. That, I hoped. We had pizza and pasta after his swim.

Oh well.

The husband informed me he won the grand prize in his (former) team’s raffle. Since it’s just a small party, I wasn’t expecting something grand such as PS3 but was happy when I saw his new North Face laptop backpack. Not only because I know he wants one but because now I can take back my Samsonite backpack. Well, that is if I still don’t buy (or receive as a gift) that nice Red Vanilla I want.

I never post the husband’s wish list on my blogs. You see, it’s not hard to think of gifts for him. Although some may think fat burners for men would be nice hahaha, I think he still prefers to receive polo shirts or jerseys, which he luckily receives on Christmas every year. He also likes receiving perfumes and fancy toiletries such as branded aftershaves.

But I think I’ll be giving him the best one this year, a new baby. :p

While browsing for more information about health savings accounts, the husband asked me if I want to come with him (and his brother and possibly other male friends) to a car show called Hot Summer Nights 3 somewhere at The Fort. I initially agreed then changed my mind when I thought of dust and bad smell of burning tires from all the “drifting”.

Boy I was right. Good thing I didn’t come because expectedly, 99% of the women there were the “models” and that would be so awkward.

The husband didn’t take much photos as there were too many sources of “conflicting” light, or simply, wasn’t in the mood much.

For the fifth year now, I can’t think of a cheesy anniversary message for you. Maybe, next year. No hurries. We have a whole lifetime, anyway.

HAPPY! I love you!

I am so happy that the husband is back. Along with that, the appetite is so back that I had 4 meals today. And I was able to sleep soundly last night, and had a nap this afternoon. I bet I’ll gain back the 2 pounds I lost while he was away. Oh well.

It felt good to talk to him in person again. It was kind of weird to chat with him about work, Mikee, and other million mundane things such as identity theft protection over YM and webcam. At least now, I can sleep at night with the TV turned off, with him sleeping beside me.

Wow amazing, two weeks had passed since the husband left for Poland. A week more to go, and we’ll see him again (in person I mean, we chat with webcam anyway hehehe). I just hope and pray that there’s no need to extend his business trip as I badly need my appetite and sleep back.

Cebu Pacific had two piso seat sales for the last 30 days (one in October 30th and another one that just started last Friday). But so far, we haven’t been able to grab any. Oh believe me, I had plenty of chances. I just wanted to make sure everybody was good to go. Well, I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

And the March trip looks a little bleak now. The husband will still be busy with work by then. He gave a go signal for November though.

I actually got excited by these seat sales but the adrenaline rush died down easily as the seats on sale started to “disappear” on the very first night I learned about it. *I learned about it last Friday but the press release was the promo would start on Saturday. And yet, I wasn’t able to book any.

Tsk tsk.

December is nearing, and yet, I don’t still feel the spirit of Christmas. In fact, it felt like Christmas is over. Maybe because we had a lot of relatives who came home from abroad last October. Consequently, we received a lot of early Christmas treats. It felt to me like how it used to feel in January. Hmm, not bad because next month, when the husband arrives, it would definitely feel like February, the month of hearts. Haha.

A second honeymoon, perhaps at the Karisma Hotels, will be perfect! A Honeymoon Getaway at the most romantic resorts in Mexico. I’m blushing just thinking about it. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate our fifth anniversary this coming January!

My husband and I enjoy dining out…. and in. We love to eat! Although he swears he’ll start going back to gym once he comes back from his business trip. I teased him if wants me to pack some weight loss supplements for him. He told me, in his as-a-matter-of-fact tone of voice, that he’ll lose some pounds in his trip without taking any of those.

He said, since it’s winter there, he won’t be eating much because he won’t be moving much. I argued that since it’s winter, he will be eating much to keep himself warm, and will gain weight because he won’t be moving much. We laughed as we exchanged facts in our little attempt to debate. Even if I knew that facts will be useless when my husband decides on something, anyway. He will do it no matter what.

Verdict? We will wait for the result when he comes back.

Hubby’s flight was yesterday at 11am. We knew we had to leave the house by 7am to avoid the usual Sunday traffic. But we were still busy checking and packing his things at 2am. It felt that there are still some things forgotten.

He didn’t want to bring our SLR. He said it’s too heavy and bulky so he opted to just bring a point and shoot. I tease him to take pictures of his hotel room once he arrives, particularly the bathroom tiles and fixtures, which I am so finicky of.

We arrived at the airport on time. Mikee kept saying we were in an “airplane port” instead of just airport, which is logical, right? He called me when he arrived at Amsterdam. I think he was even joking about something but I didn’t quite get it. I was just happy to hear his voice. (Yuck, emo.)

I don’t feel sad but I miss him. I am happy for I know he’ll have a great time. Last night though, I couldn’t sleep much. I woke up every hour. Ugh! o-O
