MARRIED, no kids yet... just in-laws....

It was more than a month ago that I got married, but procrastinator and lazy as I am, I haven't even got the time to update my blog. Sure, I've uploaded some wedding pictures in my multiply account but that is all I've done, so far :)

Yesterday was our first "month-sary", not anniversary (which stands for annual or year) as some or most people calls it, by mistake. Anyway, there are still things which, when I hear, seems odd like when we were on our way home last Sunday evening and my cousin was talking on the phone, the person on the other line might have asked who he's with and he said "kasama ko yung mag-asawa, si James at si Bing". That brought some tingle into my spine. I still am not used to being tagged as such and it hasn't really sink in until people asks me "How's married life?". I am used to being called Ms. Chiu though, people and friends started calling me that since James and I started dating, more than 4 years ago.

And I am still trying to figure out what has changed, except for the most obvious -- my home address, and the in-laws. And the bed, which I used to have just for myself and seemed too big for me, it actually fit me, Charlene and Erik just fine. Now, I've lost the other half of it and it feels masikip now.

Some small changes since I got married:
1) Someone (his name is James) prepares my lunch when I don't feel like it (which translates to almost every day). I prepare his lunch when I get the chance (translates to once-a-week, if he's lucky).

2) Someone (his name is also James) took the pains of sewing my slippers when I ripped it accidentally. He promised to fix it and I complained when he hadn't after a week. I put it in the garbage can to see what he's gonna do, and he proudly presented it to me last night, sewn and back to it's normal pretty old self. I said Thank you after he reminded me I haven't.

3) Someone (again, the name is James) prepares breakfast for me or I prepare breakfast for him, whoever gets to the kitchen first.

4) I don't have to go to church alone every Sunday morning.
5) I don't need to spend time talking on my mobile phone anymore.
6) I get up earlier every day (5am).
7) I live with him, his mom, and his bro.

What hasn't changed
1) I go to the gym and workout 'til I drop.
2) I get to shop when I feel like it, in the same stores I used to.
3) I keep my money.
4) I make up a fight, and still win in the end.
5) I don't need to cook. I cook only when I want to and when the kitchen is clear, I don't like people minding what I am doing.
6) My last name hasn't changed, I am too lazy to go to the Ministry to change it. I will, give me time.
7) He still lives with his mom and his bro.

I promise to give an account how September 1, 2007 went by. How fun the day was with friends and relatives.
