updates and a new BM contributor

July 23, 2010

I am so glad that my summer break is finally here. I can relax a little bit and focus on the things that entertain me like reading and writing. In these six weeks, I also like to cultivate my new-found interest in gardening but perhaps, I should postpone that until next year because my husband [...]

the tension is gone

May 24, 2010

Dear Schatz, It’s more than a month since my last letter. A lot has happened since then but I am glad that the changes were all positive. I am glad we had that talk. I am glad that you listened to me. I am glad that you understand me. I am glad that from then [...]

a whole new insight

April 1, 2010

Dear Schatz, I am super glad that I have a week off. It’s good for me. A week off my stressful work is really a blessing to my wilting soul and should be celebrated by just being lazy. Yes. Being lazy—sitting around, doing nothing, eating when I am hungry, and sleeping when I want. I [...]

Dear Schatz, The last weeks have been physically difficult for both of us and to tell you honestly, I haven’t been coping well emotionally either. I probably just can’t handle such stress that is why small things easily get to my nerves and I am becoming too touchy too. I don’t remember blogging about us [...]

February 5, 2010

Dear Schatz, So we finally sold our financial souls to the gods of Austrian real estate and bought ourselves a house. Well, not exactly a house because we share walls with the neighbors. I don’t know how to translate “Reihenhaus” in English but the internet says it is a “town house” so town house it [...]

the first open letter

November 11, 2009

Dear Schatz, This is my first time to write an open letter. Pardon my lack of subtleness   but I just have to mention that that means, even if this letter is addressed to only one person (and that is you), it can be read by anybody. I should’ve posted an entry on this blog long [...]

Our Song

September 21, 2009

As you might have noticed, I changed the theme of this blog. I’ve been using the old one for about a year and a half and I thought that this blog could use a face lift. The project of installing a new theme entailed digging in to our wedding pictures. I needed to look for [...]

I thought it would be easy

September 9, 2009

It’s a Sunday today and as usual my monumental laundry is already taking their sweet time in the washer and the dryer. I’m already done with my grocery errand and just had a sorbet for lunch. I am not feeling well today. I have not been feeling good lately… I feel nauseous in the morning… [...]

Who said it’s going to be easy?

August 20, 2009

I was watching a TV program some days ago and it was about people who are in search for partners. One of the candidates is a restaurateur who is once married to a Southeast Asian woman. When the TV host asked him what ended his first marriage he said it was because his ex-wife didn’t [...]
