CC: Like It Or Not

I just realized that I have always been referring to my husband as Hubby in my CC posts. I am just not used to using his first name when referring to him online so I hope you understand the anonymity. Hehe! But in case you are all wondering, his name is Vincent.

Anyway, here I am again, a little too late for my CC entry. Marce Liz would have to kick me, hard this time, so that I would my entry on time. Lol!

No couple  is perfect. Our flaws and mistakes and our inequities are what make life more meaningful and exciting because they allow us to learn and grow from them. I have known my Hubby for almost 12 years now but we were only married for 3 years. Knowing him that long, I thought I already know him. I also thought that I know myself too well. Not until we started really living together as husband and wife did I realize our similarities and differences.

LIKES

Hubby likes his coffee black while I like mine with a cube of sugar and fresh milk.

Hubby like to leave his clothes wherever but being the "neat freak that I am, I like to pick up after him.

Hubby likes to eat food that he is familiar with... I tend to be more adventurous and try new dishes.

When we eat outside, I sometimes like to order what he is having.

We both like movies and we watch at least one movie per week.

He likes to lie down on the couch while watching TV. I like to sit on the bean bag.

We both like to spend our free time going on road trips.

We both like ice cream and Japanese food.

When there's more than two viands on the table, I like to place small portions on my plate and eat them in a mixed manner. Hubby likes to eat one portion at a time. You will never see him "mixing" unless it is a big gathering.

Hubby likes sneakers and Timberland shoes. He likes his feet comfy because he drives a lot. I on the other love flats shoes.

When shopping for lingerie, Hubby likes to wait outside the shop or go somewhere else. He'll just come back when it's time to pay. :D

He likes his sawsawan spicy. I like mine plain although I sometimes dip in his.

Hubby likes to keep himself informed with current events in the Philippines, I obviously like to just blog. Lol!

I like to ask questions, Hubby prefers that I don't ask too much because he doesn't have all the answers.

We both like to help others in need, whenever we can.

We both like the same kind of music.

DISLIKES

Hubby doesn't like it when I try new dishes. He would say it's "french-french". I don't like it when says that because I get hurt.

We both don't like it when we raise our voices to each other. But of course, who does?

He doesn't like me making faces, I don't like if he accuses me of making one.

He doesn't like it when I am too silent in the car. I don't like when he starts being paranoid again.

He doesn't like it if I nag, I don't like it if I begin nagging too. And I would just stop.

Hubby doesn't like it when I ask him questions while we are watching something. I don't like it if he just ignores most of them.

Hubby doesn't like me makulit. I don't like Hubby being too demanding.

We both dislike to argue because when we do, I always end up crying. And Hubby doesn't like to see me crying.

We both dislike going to discos. We dislike smoking either.

We also don't like pretentious people that's why we are cautious who we get close to. No, we don't judge people but it is better to be careful than to be sorry. 

There are lots more but as Marce Liz said, this post would be too long if I go on and on. So now you know me and Hubby and better. What's your likes and dislikes?

CC: Opposites Attract

I learned that "opposites attract" when I was learning my Chemistry. It's an undeniable fact. While it is purely science, it is also applicable to relationships. While Hubby and I share similar values and beliefs, we also have our differences. We try to work our differences out and compliment them with our strengths. We would drive each other crazy with our differences but at the end of the day, what matters most is that we came to understand and respect each other better.

Hubby has the tendency to just leave things wherever he pleases, I hate clutter and clean up after him. Hubby likes to talk and I like to just keep silent and listen. I like to window shop, he dreads it especially when I stop at the lingerie section. I love to experiment with food, he likes his food simply cooked the Filipino way. He loves Formula 1, I love Korean Dramas. Although I am the more sociable one, he also gets along well with people. I do not know how to play the guitar but I am the one who helps him with the rhythm when we practice songs for church. He is fair skinned, I am dark, like milk and chocolate. He is updated on the current events in the Philippines while I am more confined to blogging and my online tasks. There are countless other differences but looking at my list here, I am glad that they are not really major ones. And that we try to adjust and make compromises to avoid quarrels and misunderstandings.

CC: Our Not So Hidden Talents

This is a very late entry. But I just had to publish this. Apologies to Marce Liz. I thought this was already published but it was still in my drafts. Sorry Marce!

The previous two days have been torture for me because I cannot use my computer. It has gone suddenly kaput and I haven't done any blogging since Tuesday. Hubby managed to fix it last night after how many attempts because I kept bugging him about it. And this is one thing that my hubby is good at. Fixing computers, both hardware and software. He just knows what to do with them. Hubby is also good at playing the guitar although he is not very good at singing. He hates dancing but he would dance just for the fun of it. I can even see him dancing with our little girl in Filipino gatherings lately.

I on the other hand have the talent for anything artistic although I am not good at choosing my own clothes. Lol! I can paint stuff and do crafts. I can sing fairly well too although my voice is not catchy. I love to sing for the church choir though despite that. I also know how to dance but I am also not very good at it. I used to dance well in my younger days but my bones and limbs are no longer as flexible as they used to be. Hihi! I also have the talent for catching a song's lyrics quickly so that I can already sing the chorus of a song the first time I hear it.
