cutting down

Living in the UK means bigger expenses, especially for the "pamper" stuff like hair cuts, pedicures, massages, etc. And so, in an attempt to save some money, I volunteered to play barber and give hair cutting a try. After all, I can't imagine shelling out almost 10 pounds for something we could get for less than 2 back home. But then again, we have to make some adjustments, I guess - these things we just have to accept. Especially after how my hairdressing attempt turned out....

Before

He said, just cut it short... and so I did. I must say, I loved every minute of it! I couldn't stop laughing. It took me almost 2 hours to finish.

After

He's not so happy about the outcome, huh? You see, I made a few mistakes (hahahaha) and since I don't want my husband to look like he's got hair humps and bumps on his head, not to mention a really weird zigzag design, I decided to take it all off. A way out for me, I guess =)

In a few months, when it's time for another haircut, I'll volunteer to...well...pay the bill. =)

hello, world!

4 weeks in the UK and I'm still a bit overwhelmed about everything that's happening. So this is what it's like being "married". Don't get me wrong, I would strongly recommend marriage. I just realized that it's hard work as well as pure fun. I feel like I've grown up the past weeks. I'm actually taking on adult tasks! Hahaha.

I have learned that caring for someone is really...what's the word? a BLESSING? an ACT OF LOVE? I can't find the right description but basically, caring for someone makes me feel closer to God.

I miss Manila and I miss my family and friends. But I know that God has big plans for me and sweetcorn. We're both excited!

I haven't blogged much because I've been busy fixing up our place. Just to give you a sneak preview, here are some before and after shots:
