…married life (sigh)
I made a good friend cry today.
The reason–I will not be going to the much-talked about, much anticipated long overdue barkada bonding at Potipot Island.
Nah, it’s not because the husband doesn’t want me to go…in fact, he also wanted to go and we both agreed about us going with the guys to unwind.
Until–reality reared its ugly head.
There’s bills, there’s utilities, debts to pay, important things to take care of first, daily baons and necessities… count em up and you get to realise that you don’t exactly have the extra cash lying around for an out of town trip.
So–faced with the harsh realities of married life and the opportunity to lounge around in my favorite swimwear–i chose the former.
God knows how much I f*ckin miss my friends.
It’s not only them — in fact…here are the things I dearly miss:
1. new shoes which I can buy without having to go through guilt (new cool purple shoes! yey! oh shoot–do i still have baon next week 
sigh)
2. hanging out until the early hours of the morning. wasting money on coffee and pastries and huge orders of salads and vodka cruiser
3. mindless magazines and fashion mags bought on whim
4. new books to add on to my compilation of yet-to-finish tomes
5. new clothes! new clothes! (wait…i havent worn about two pieces back at home)
6. being f*ckin irresponsible and being happy about it
7. pigging out big time
8. trips to nowhere and anywhere on a whim
9. splurging on junk food
10. buying senseless kawaii things just because…
if this looks like a rant–maybe it is.
don’t get me wrong. i looove being married, but if you’ve been careless and shitty for the first 28 years of your life and suddenly you’re faced with the harsh realities of economics and family dynamics…it really has a way of making you crazy.
I loove waking up next to my adorable, crazy, at times funny and stooopid and witty other half. i love (and hate) folding his clothes. i love and hate (!) dealing with the bills, facing the budget, thinking of the utilities…
i love and hate all that.
i may not have the life i was used to…but yeah, i’m in this adventure come hell and high water…for the long haul…
(sigh)
