It's in my vow, I know through thick and thin, in sickness and in health ... etc. etc. so? NO question, I'm here, he's here and together we will sort things out, you'll see.
We're broke after paying off our bills, loans and the 10% we have to set aside from our salaries monthly, which we can never, ever touch because it's an investment to a fund-loan program in the office, we can only claim it by the end of the year with interest unless we pull out our share ... Sooo... yeah were broke like the word itself we're trying hard to make ends meet... and today we ate a take-out lunch and had to share on one dessert. I guess this too happens to any other regular couple who's just starting off. What amazes me, is the "coolness" on how we are handling this ... when did I ever become so calm about money issues? I guess when you're married, everything you have, you have to share and while we lie in bed this afternoon thinking of what dinner would be, a thought came to me ... isn't it better to have someone when you don't have money, than to have no one and still have no money? hehe .. I mean, I've lived alone once, when I was just making it in the BIG city and hardly had anything ... it was lonelier. But now that I have someone, it seemed not to matter!
By the way, not to worry when you're in need in the Philippines ... neighbors are always there. Not that we asked or anything, but this is graduation month ... and uhmm... it means there are celebrations everywhere of proud families! So? So, our neighbor happened to drop by with spaghetti. Oh! were delighted. It's an added blessing!
But by Tuesday, this "ordeal" is over. We're expecting money from our monthly pay and some more from our small time cologne retail business ... so ... it would be better days once more. But I'm glad to have had this experience, because I know at this very early stage in our married life, there'll be tough times ahead and for sure we will know how to survive them!
