OK, so our two weeks worth of honeymooning is over and we're now back to regular life. I must say that while the actual trips that make up the "honeymoon" are over, we're still at the honeymoon stage, and I really really like it. Wish there's a way I can extend it over months and months and months to go. I love the excitement I feel whenever I get back to our condo after work, hoping to see Dennis already there or getting excited over setting the table and heating up our dinner, so that when he does step into the condo, warm dinner is there to greet him. I'm so amazed at the many things I'm discovering about him now that we live together - small things that seem insignificant in the overall picture of life but are amazingly adorable nonetheless (at least for me, the woman who swore to love him through thick and thin).
Many people have asked me if (1) I'm pregnant or (2) I have found things about him that annoy me now that we live together. The first question is often asked by people most remotely close to me, so usually it doesn't merit an honest answer. But if you do wanna know the real score, nope, we're not yet pregnant because we're making sure to follow our plan. We'd like to get pregnant no sooner than Q3 next year, in time for 2012 - which is both a dragon year and the year I'm done with my MBA.
As for the second item, I find this quite funny everytime someone asks me. If forced to answer, I'd attribute the one and only annoying "discovery" to his snoring. The first few nights of this marriage were all about sleeplessness to me, because it was tough getting used to this constant stream of noise next to me, when I've been used to a quiet room all my life. It wasn't that bad- mind you- but again, if forced to answer, I would say it's that. Apart from the snoring, nothing else has grated on my nerves, at least not yet. Let's not discount any possibility of that happening when the HM phase is over. Hahaha!
And now back to my original point, we're back to real life. Back to being just a regular husband and wife, not anymore googly-eyed honeymooners greeted by the hotel concierge nightly or congratulated by the front-desk staff. We're settling into a routine of our own and having our nightly rituals of watching teleseryes (for me), getting massages, playing family computer or having movie nights. I must say, marriage is an adjustment, but it's a fun one, filled with new experiences and discoveries. Plus, the newly-acquired independence is very liberating, albeit a bit scary. Proven by our first night back from HM Phase 1 in Singapore when Dennis pulled something in his back, woke up in the middle of night almost crying with pain, and I had to bring him to the ER of Makati Med. I performed quite well, if I may say so myself, but having to be in full charge of someone, without the constant help and guidance of mothers, is quite daunting. I hope I learn fast, and get the hang of things soon enough :) Or else, poor husband :p
That's it for now. Can't believe I'm now a "misis". Whoever says married life w/o kids feels like bahay-bahayan is either underestimating the fun-ness of married life or has a boring husband.
Haha!
