The non-cook.

I've been married for almost two months now, and it's been amazingly great. My cooking, however, is not so great. Every time I step into the kitchen, I embark on a new chaotic adventure.

Thankfully, I've been blessed with a hubby who will eat anything I put on his plate. It's a good thing he made a promise to me before we got married: that he will eat anything I cook... as long as I eat it too.

The Waiting Place by Eileen Button

The Waiting Place is a series of short essays written from the point of view of the author (a mother, a columnist and a pastor's wife). In this book, Eileen gives us glimpses into various points of her rather complicated life.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed because I expected the book to be more about finding God in these "waiting places." However, once I got over that fact, I found myself appreciating the author's sharings, especially in the latter part of the book.

Overall, The Waiting Place is written in an intimate yet entertaining manner, making it a refreshing and light read.

The Adventures of Tintin (and JV).

It's been exactly 17 days since JV and I tied the knot. Yesiree, this blogger is now a married woman.

Am I happy? Most definitely. Am I domesticated? Not quite.

No, my name is not Tintin.

Alive.

I used to blog religiously. Up until recently, I would (mentally) kick myself if I went by an entire month without blogging. For crying out loud, I'm in front of the computer almost the entire day! The fact that I cannot jot down a single thought over a period of 30 days is inexcusable! Say it with me! Lazy bones, lazy bones, lazy bones!

Seeing that I missed blogging for the whole month of July (Eep! April, too!), here is a blog post. Yes, a post for the month of August. I am officially safe. I am guilt-free for the next few weeks.

Here I am. Extremely busy, but alive, alert, awake and enthusiastic. Yes, I am very much alive, alert, awake and enthusiastic.

Fifteen days to go. <3

Overwhelmed.

There are times wherein I feel so *blech* that I want to curl up into bed and sleep the entire day away.

On the other hand, there are moments like now wherein I am absolutely flabbergasted when I realize how many wonderful people are in my life. I look around me, and I see that I've found an amazing support system over the years. I am constantly surrounded by kind, loving people who understand me and who love me for me. At this point, it is impossible to feel anything but appreciative and thankful.

Loved, loved, loved. I'm a happy girl.
