Several days after the wedding....

It has been 12 days since I was married. Everytime my friends would ask me about being married, I would reply, "it hasn't sink in yet". Well, based on my perception it hasn't yet.

True enough, my lifestyle is changing. I am now taking the bus and FX on my way to the office; I leave my car in the garage (which I share with 2 more tenants). I bring my lunchpack with me instead of eating in the restaurants. I stopped drinking beer (at least for the last 3 days). I am now washing the dishes. I am now budgetting my daily expenses, unlike before that I just spend on stuff out of a whim. Oh yeah, I am now getting used to the fact that I am sleeping in a bed beside another person. hehehe!

But I am not complaining. I have fully embraced marriage. I know it wouldn't be easy but I am willing to go through it. When tin and I were shopping for some stuff, I noticed that I was more patient with her (my knees and legs were complaining already), while she was trying to figure out what she wanted to buy. Otherwise, she picks the color or sometimes I had to simply agree just to avoid any confrontation. (In fairness, we did need the others that wasn't included on the list). From time to time, I had to remind her what we were shopping for her (which she is grateful about).

Last night, I spent my evening alone in bed. She was on duty at the hospital. I was originally planning to sleep at Tita Chi's house but changed my mind the last minute and brought some work at home. I slept well last night and felt at home (though I grew up on a house that is big enough to run around). I could even work (just like now composing my blog).

Tonight, I wanted to go home early and be with my wife.... Yup! It's changing.... I am changing.... It's sinking in, I have to admit.....
