OF BABY BUMPS AND MUFFIN TOPS

One fine sweet nothings-night:

KAREN: (worrying about pregnancy-related weight gain, and being the unreasonable, overly self-conscious me) "So mahal, paano yan pag nabuntis ako, eh di lalaki na yung tiyan ko?"

VINCE: (quickly responding in a serious conscientious tone) "Don't worry, love, we'll buy you new clothes."

KAREN: *toinks*

~ end of conservation ~

Well, if I may, allow me to explain why I got dumbstruck.

I actually had the instinctive urge to blurt out, "Wait, that's not what I was expecting to hear." I was hoping Vince would comfort and assure me by saying something like, "Don't worry, love, your tummy will be as flat as crepe as soon as you deliver the baby."  By offering to buy me new (which by the way translates to upsized) clothes, it was pretty obvious he was clueless to where I was coming from or heading to. On the other hand, the idea of SHOPPING (which you probably have already figured by now) got me all excited and thrilled, so in the nick of time, I decided to just shut up and mum to myself, "Oo nga naman, may point nga naman sya.  Syempre pag nabuntis, pwede ba namang hindi lumaki ang tiyan ? Duh." LOL.

Retail therapy rules ! Yebah.

FROM SINGLENESS TO DOUBLE HAPPINESS

It has been a little over five months now since I got married. The adjustment from living alone to having to share almost everything with my better half has been going really well. Smooth as it can be, still we have trivial misunderstandings every once in a while, especially during the early transition phase, but thank God, we have been doing a great job of agreeing to almost everything. A little spat here and there but all gladly ends well. Though we have not encountered enormous forks in our marriage yet, I believe that with God's help, if we would be faced with one, no rocky road uphill is insurmountable. 

Anyway, having said that, I am happy to announce that this blog has now matured from being the emotera de soltera you have always known in the past to a happily married sexy emotera. Haha ! If you thought for a while there that you would be able to escape my dramas, sorry darling, but I have to disappoint you because getting married definitely does not make one less emotional (or at least in my case). Once a drama queen always a drama queen. Only this time, life is a whole lot easier and more fun because I have a better half who is willing to split the sorrow and double the joy with ... forever and for always :)

So sit back and relax. You may grab a cup of warm chocolate or snuggle under a comfy blanket. What you are about to follow is an improved, wider-scoped, multi-perspective, MORE THAN SEXY blog chronicling me, my sanity, and all that is left of me + VINCE ♥


PS: Can you spot the difference ? I hope you like it =)
