fish heads



I bought fish heads the other day. I went to the fish store which regularly sells huge fish heads for only $3 each and bought me two. Good thing the husband bought a bolo (machete) months ago so I was able to use that to chop the heads off into desired pieces. I had a good time cleaning it remembering the days when I used to cook for my family in Leyte and Filipino food is much appreciated. The husband and the little man are not much into Filipino food so I am the only person who eats it here. It would be nice if I have Filipina friends to come over but then I don't socialize much so no hope in that area. Anyway, I put the cut-up pieces in freezer bags and I thawed one yesterday and made fish soup. It was so good! Not as good as grandma's recipe but I am learning each time. The husband said it smelled good but did not even try to taste it. I don't blame him though. I cook food that are not the norm for him so he is afraid to taste anything unless I tell him what is in it. When it comes to food in this household, we compromise-the husband eats food I fix provided he knows what's in it and it looks delectable enough and I eat his food every now and then. The little man has his own choices as well but he leans mostly on his father's likes.Works well for us.

the car connection

 

If you are looking for a car, why don't you try The car Connection? By visiting the website you will have full control on your choices since all you have to do is key in the specific car you want, make, model, year, and even price range you can afford. It is a lot easier and better than having to go to a carlot looking for a particular car. Say if you need honda pilot you can search for it in the car connection website, look up its features, know how much it normall costs, and even see pictures of it. Or if you want hyundai elantra you can search for it in the site as well.

There are plenty of cars you can choose from may it be used ones or brand new ones depending on your choice and financial capacity. I told the husband I want a Jeep Laredo when I start driving and he said he wants one too. Ours is being used by his son so we can't use it anymore. We might as well just give it to him and get us something better. Or maybe we will get us a prius or a gmc perhaps. Like I said there are plenty of choices. We just have to make up our mind to decide on one. And of course, we have to have the money

uncertainties



We are faced with uncertainties right now. There are things we can't decide upon unless we hear something concrete about them. This makes it hard for us to make plans. We pretty much decided on some things but there are issues that can only be resolved with facts. We will be glad when we get over these predicament. We have faith. We know we will. It is just a matter of time and we have to practice patience. After all, didn't they say patience is a virtue?

recharge



I need to go on vacation. Somewhere where I don't have to wake up at six in the morning and I can take naps during the day when I want to. I am tired. I want a few days of relaxation, window shopping, eating what I want without worrying about the calories I am packing, and most of all, no whining in the background. What are the odds it will happen? Perhaps none and it is making me feel depressed. This is one of those days when I would greatly appreciate somebody's help. I am looking forward to being able to petition my mom so she can take over, lol. I love my family, make no mistake about that. It is just sometimes they get the better of me. I am only human after all. I have limits too. I hope I will feel better and rested when we move back to be near relatives again. Maybe one of the sisters-in-law will watch the little man to give me more time for myself even for a few days. I just need a few days to recharge, that's all and I will back to my normal bubbly self.

subscription

 

When the husband and I were living in the Midwest, we had a subscription for Direct TV. I love it since I was not used to having so many channels to surf when I wanted to watch television. Where I came from even with a paid cable subscription there were not that many channels to choose from. I never had that problem on my first three months here. I even had all the Filipino channels I wanted, complete with an FM station. Those were the days! When we had DirectTV I did not have to rent any movies or get bored sitting at home waiting for the husband to come home from work. I enjoyed it immensely.

But then we moved down south. And since we live in the city we did not subscribe to
DirecTV anymore. In fact we do not have cable subscription. We decided to cut off on bills because of the recession. There are only limited channels I can watch and what I can't I watch online. That is why I am glad when the husband said we will be moving back to the Midwest to be near his relatives. Because it means we will have the same things we had before we moved down here. I am actually looking forward to it. Who knows with luck I might just have my Filipino channels back.

family time



The husband invited his son and his wife to eat dinner with us last night. They said they were gonna have pizza and watch a movie so I was not expecting them to come at all. But guess who came knocking on our door just a few minutes after we got home from the grocery store? You're right, the couple. So the husband fixed them burgers with the offer of  eating what they want from the food we have like macaroni salad, potato salad, rotisserie chicken (which I bought from the store since I was having a major craving for it). Nobody touched  the rotisserie though, clearly nobody liked it but me and the husband The kids stayed until eleven and the way the husband talked, they did not want to go home yet so he offered them the little man's room for the night because he was ready to go to bed. They declined and decided to go home instead. That was the longest those two have stayed for a visit. It was fun since I got to watch Bride Wars without having to rent it and the little man enjoyed the company as well. He even sat in his brother's lap while playing with his toy. What's more important is the husband loves it. He always likes to serve his kids with the food they grew up eating and to talk to them in person instead of on the phone.

the place we want to be

 

I have posted on my blogs often enough how the husband and I love Myrtle Beach. It is our vacation destination when he feels stressed out or when we want to be on the beach. That is even if we live just fifteen minutes away from the closest beach. We had our honeymoon at our favorite Myrtle Beach Resort over three years ago. We still lived in the Midwest then and we had to travel for hours just to get there but it was not a problem for us. In fact we went down three times after that first trip together. We still visit from time to time especially now that we are only an hour and a half away from it. Before our recent visit, we stayed at a North Myrtle Beach Resort which the husband and I were lucky enough to get because most motels were full. Our room in fact was the last one available and it was already dusk so we grabbed it right away.

We stayed in the resort for two nights and three days and had a pretty good time. The husband thought if the resort only had a sauna his happiness would have been complete. Well, a few hours before we checked out I read the brochure handed to us when we checked in and there it said the resort had a sauna in the upper floor. The husband was so disappointed but we were both at fault so there was no argument  We plan on staying on that resort again next time. True there are a lot of North Myrtle Beach Resorts but that one we know has a sauna which is what the husband has been looking for so we will eventually go back when we have the money to spare.

new responsibility



 

A friend hosted three of my blogs for months. That was because I was afraid of the responsibilities of having a web hosting account especially the financial aspect of it. But she decided to buy me my own hosting account with the agreement that I will pay her when I get the money saved up. Isn't she wonderful? Not only did she pay for the hosting account, she also helped me step by step to transfer one of my blogs in there. I am happy. And excited. And a little bit worried. But I will make it because she believes I can do it on my own. Well, maybe with lots of help from her. Thanks Mami Belle for being generous and helpful. I will try my best to know the ins and outs of the account you handed to me. This will give me something better to do than sitting in the computer watching Korean dramas
