Marriage According to Me...

I'm legally married. Not many know about that maybe it's because I haven't taken my wedding photos and I don't seem to be in a hurry to do so, which I'm not sure why. I can't seem to find time to do anything that I like for the whole day. Age is just a number. That's what I believe in but most people frown upon learning about my husband's age, some laughed so hard that I felt like punching them in the face. Talk about being open-minded, people here are just as narrow-minded no matter how open they think they are. Anyway, it's us that matters, not him, not her and definitely not them, whoever they are, I wouldn't and couldn't be bothered.

My husband is my one friend who knows everything about me. I know I'm not like any other typical wife who submits to the husband to the point of losing oneself. Neither am I one who cleans after the mess. And I'm definitely not one who keeps quiet when things don't go my way. I'm selfish but at the same time I'm not. You have to know me very well to judge me but none of you have the rights to judge me unless you're God Himself. My husband's level of tolerance is very high, so high that he allows me to do things as I wish. Yes, I'm pampered and spoiled, to that, I have no shame in admitting. All my life, I've been pampered by others.  Oh, let me rephrase that. All my life, I've found favors in the eyes of people whom I come in contact with. Being married is not a bed of roses, anyway I don't even like roses. Roses have thorns on their stems.

We fought a lot when I didn't get my way... and I can be very violent, not the other way round. I think there are others who are more violent than me that's why the cases where husbands are abused really exist. But I don't abuse my husband, don't get me wrong. We kiss... I love hugs and kisses. We text... that's so not true... my hubby doesn't even reply my texts. He will just give me a call as a reply... that's even sweeter but I enjoy texting... age difference... but that's only a minor hiccup. We argue... who doesn't... I'm highly opinionated and very vocal so yes, we do argue until he decided to back down and let me do it my way, my style. We laugh... a lot... I enjoy laughing... it just comes naturally... I can even laugh when I get scolded by others, and I laughed when the car window got smashed. We were all laughing at the police station like we've won a new car. We smile... I smile whenever I wake up and see him beside me. Those are the times that I cherish most. I can hardly get to see him when I wake up. I usually wake up to an empty bed beside me. He has to work... I do have to work too but I work at very odd hours. We love... yes, we do without any doubt... yeah... that's us.

I really don't know about those 10 signs pasted up there. Maybe because we've been together for more than a decade. Let's get this straight... maybe you're gonna laugh and love me more for being transparent:

1. I would do anything in the world for you since you are my world and my everything. I'm sorry I can do a lot of things for you but not everything. I'm not gonna do the laundry and I'm definitely not gonna wash the toilets. Nothing will make me change regarding those two matters. I have already changed my stand about entering the kitchen. I know I'm doing a great job in the kitchen and I know if I'm to be in charge of the laundry I'll do a great job, too... but I simply refuse to do that. 
2. I miss you even before you leave... that's true... on those rare occasions when I was awake before you left for work, I have already missed you. I wish you don't have to go to work but just stay at home. I'm more than willing to work and earn the silver coins.
3. Just by hearing your voice, I get butterflies and can't help but smile... that was like so long ago... I'm sorry I scream at you whenever you call to check on me... but you have to know you called at the wrong time... always at the wrong time... you called when I was cooking, called when I just left the house and driving like an F1 racer, dodging traffic... you called when I was working and without knowing it, you have cut off my train of thoughts.... and you NEVER call whenever I'm waiting for you to call...
4. I am on cloud nine just the way you smell... eerrr... nope... I smell better than you even when I'm sweating...
5. Whenever I am with you or look at you, nothing else in the world matters. I am blind to everything but you~! NEGATIVE~! I'm not blind... and I'm not blinded by anything... whenever I look at you, I want to snuggle for another 5 minutes, wishing that I don't have to work... and I will want to put on something nice and go out for a long walk, or maybe just sit in the house and watch movies... I don't know why I always have the notion that I'm sitting at home and not doing anything but whenever I have the chance to sit at home, I'll be out of the house in a jiffy and landed ourselves in a cinema... we both enjoy watching action movies.
6. When we are together, I never want the moment to end, I want it to last forever and ever. This one is definitely true... but it always ended too soon... I just wished we have more time together rather than work and work and work... the work seems to be never ending...
7. I re-read all our convos over and over again... nope never done such thing before...
8. Every love song I listen to, I think of you.... that won't happen and it has never happen... you know what kinda songs I like... I'm more into Hillsong, Planet Shakers and I'm a fan of Israel Houghton, Bob Fitts and Chris Tomlin.... so all those cute love songs, nah... never like them....
9. Just thinking about you put the biggest smile on my face and my heart beats faster and faster (like now) ... I think we're way past that level... Let me try to rephrase that... Just thinking about a vacation puts the biggest and widest smile on my face... you know how much I love to travel... and my heart beats faster and faster (like now) because I'm looking at the clock and it's already 1:30a.m. and I have tonnes of paperwork to prepare yet I am being unproductive by blogging right now and I'm getting very sleepy by the second... so I'm more worried about the unfinished work...
10. You are the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I fall asleep... yes, you're the first thing I think about that's because you're the one who gives me the daily morning call or else I will definitely miss the morning class, snoring away like a log... and yes, you're the last thing I think about because you snore so loudly, I have difficulty sleeping, now you know why I have to make myself so tired every day so that I can just plonk my head on the pillow and zoom straight into dreamland without slowing down.

Yeah... I'm not alone but I sure am lonely without your snoring. I do love rolling on the king size bed and having all my soft toys but at the same time I miss you. Haih... paperwork... paperwork and more paperwork... and I love using this desktop... so it looks like I have to sacrifice you and choose over work and computer. :D

That's so true... but come to think again, we hardly have time to talk to each other. By the time I'm free, you need to sleep already and I'm left to my own devices. I miss you a lot a lot... and I talk so much... but you never want to tell me how's your day. No matter how boring it is I am still curious...

.... That doesn't sound right... does it? Hhhmmm... you're not my food source... hhmmm....

Isn't that cute? I love bears.... So in conclusion, marriage is not something that you've watched in the Hollywood movies. Those are just so not real. Life has its ups and downs and need a lot of tolerance to weather through the storms that come on and off. Why I get married? I don't know... just need to settle down I guess, having me is like taming a wild horse... or is it more like taming a wild boar... and until now I'm not even sure when's our anniversary. I can't remember whether if it's in March or in May and the exact date.  Anyway....
