Chinese wish paper

A lady friend gave this piece of Chinese wish paper to me a few years ago.  She said I could write a prayer or anything that I wish to have or plan that I want to be realized in the future. Her instruction is to burn the paper after I write all my wishes and scatter its ashes in the air to make my “wishes” come true.

I haven’t written anything on it yet. I want to keep it as a remembrance for now.

Our likes and dislikes

There are things that we don’t usually agree upon, but I’m glad hubby and I have similar “likes” and “dislikes”.  I will start with our dislikes:

  • We don’t like crowded room/area, thus we’re not fond of attending big gatherings unless demanded by our respective jobs.
  • We don’t like loud people. But hubby managed to live with a nagging wife, just kidding.
  • We don’t like smokers and rowdy neighbors (both present in the billiard shop operated by our neighbor).
  • We are allergic to unexpected expenses…
  • He likes to read (Internet, newspaper) while I have yet to find time to finish the book that I started reading last summer.
  • He was kind of nagging me before because I spend more time in front of the computer, but when we started shopping online using the money I earned from blogging, he is thinking of helping me write my pending assignments. Am I seeing a future blogger in my husband? Not bad.

Likes

  • We both like to dine out especially when I was still working; we love spicy food.
  • We enjoy watching movies then, now we find comfort in watching DVDs at home.
  • We used to like shopping for clothes when we have extra cash. It’s difficult to kick the old habit, but we manage to satisfy our cravings for clothes at Ukay-Ukay or bargain shops.
  • We both like a small family. We are like supporting a two-child policy (if there will be).
  • We enjoy holding hands before we go to sleep. We enjoy it as much when we are riding a bus while taking a cat nap on our way to work.
  • He is goal-oriented while I’m a little laid-back. But we share the same dream of having a comfortable life. By that we mean living a debt-free life and have something in our pocket in times of need.
  • We are both looking forward to spending the next 14 or more years of our lives together as husband and wife. It’s our wedding anniversary tomorrow!
  • I think we have enough compatibility to stay this long. How about you what are your likes and dislikes? You may share your story with us at Couples Corner hosted by Marce Liz, the gorgeous mom from Alabama.

Emotional intelligence

I’m not sure how it is calculated. But if there’s someway to measure it, I would definitely get a low or the lowest score. LOL! I am emotional and afraid to admit it could lead me to something not good. My emotions sometimes prevail over situations that need mature judgment. My emotions had led me to some unpleasant situations in the past and I haven’t got over some of those issues until now. I’m a cry baby and easily affected by the slightest thing or situation that happen before my eyes. I’m just thankful that my husband is always there to support me and offer a shoulder to cry on. Some friends are also there for me when the load is too heavy to bear. Ang bigat naman ng post na ito. LOL! On a positive note, mababaw naman ang happiness ko, friends from way back can attest to that. 😀
