Listicle 17 Things I Love About My Husband 2:00 PM I want to honor my better half as we celebrate our wedding anniversary. Allow me to share 17 things I love about my husband. 17 reasons why I'm thankful to have him as my life partner.17 Things I Love About My Husband1. He is patient.From deciding on everything by myself to sharing my life with someone, marriage is a big adjustment.Our cultural differences also make it difficult for us to understand each other sometimes.Despite our contrasting personalities and shortcomings, my husband is patient with me. I love that about him.2. He's responsible. My husband sees to it that I don't have to worry about things around the house. From fixing a leak to running errands, he makes sure we are comfortable. He takes care and provides for our needs. I love that he has the initiative to take out the trash without being asked. He doesn't put off until later what needs to be done at the moment.3. He makes me laugh. I love it when he does silly things to give me a little break from working. He shares amusing stories to help keep my stress level down.4. He's smart. He thinks like an engineer, he's math-savvy, inquisitive, methodical, systematic. My husband is perceptive, thorough, logical, and analytical.He's an eloquent speaker and I couldn't be prouder.5. He's loyal. When my husband finds a good restaurant, we keep going back to that place, order the same food, and even sit at the same table whenever possible. He asks for the same hairstylist, masseuse, and driver every time he needs their service.Most of all, he is loyal to me. 6. He makes me feel at peace.Because I know that no matter what happens he will take care of me, fight for our relationship and he will never hurt me intentionally, I am at peace.I know how it is to be in a relationship where you're unsure of your partner's loyalty. Or when there's always a conflict to work on.You're always on edge. I appreciate not having to worry about these things anymore.7. He is thoughtful.No matter how busy he gets, my husband always thinks about me and my needs. He knows that my language of love is gifts so he sees to it that I receive a gift even if it's just a flower he's picked on his way home.8. He puts Christ first.When I was single, I heard someone say, "Find a man who puts God first and you, second. He will not look for a third."I don't mind being my husband's second priority as long as God is his first. As it is, marriage is a covenant between you, God, and your partner. 9. He wants me to take care of myself.My husband always reminds me to pamper myself. He's also willing and eager to wait while I get my hair and nails done.I love that when I shop, he doesn't just follow me around. I can ask for his opinion and I know that he'll give me honest feedback and good suggestions.10. He's humble. Our marriage is not perfect but he's willing to change his ways to be better.Being the leader in our relationship, he's humble enough to apologize first - even when sometimes I'm at fault. 😛11. He's romantic.My husband is the most loving, most caring, and most romantic partner I know. He can make me feel special and loved even at the most ordinary of times. He makes me feel like I'm the most beautiful woman in the world even when I don't feel like I'm at my best.12. He's selfless.He puts my needs and comfort first before his. I am included in all his dreams and plans.13. He's clean.My husband takes hygiene seriously. He smells fresh and is always clean. We don't have a messy house; he cleans up the kitchen even before eating (unlike me, I wait until we're done before I wash the dishes), and most of all, we always sleep with clean sheets. I can't imagine living with a sloppy person. I'm glad my husband isn't one.15. He has no vices.My husband doesn't smoke and has not had alcohol for a decade now. He doesn't gamble, and he has no bad habits.He loves watching movies so much that I could say that's his only "vice" but I get to binge-watch with him sometimes so all good. 16. He's the best travel companion ever.I love that I've found the best travel planner and partner I could ever ask for. From making sure we get the best deal without compromising our comfort and safety, to planning our itinerary, to packing our travel needs, he's on top of things.On the day of the trip, from waking me up (forcing me out of bed really lol), preparing our breakfast and bags, securing our house, carrying my luggage, and ensuring that we enjoy the trip, I can rely on him.Can't wait to travel with him again.17. He's a wonderful life companion. There are days when I need my space and he respects that. We can sit in silence comfortably or talk endlessly ---mostly depending on my mood. 😁My husband and I couldn't be more different. I can multitask but he needs to focus on one thing. As all men do, I think.I'm 99% introverted (according to the personality test we took) and he's a full-blown extrovert.Yet I know we can turn our differences into delight.I prayed for a good partner and God has given me more than what I asked for. My husband is another reason why I love my life and why I consider myself blessed.I do like to say that I love my husband because he could be my best friend, most trusted confidant, most supportive cheerleader, and worst critic at the same time.There are many things I love about my husband and I'm excited to discover more in the coming years.Happy anniversary, Honey! 😘
Listicle 9 Things To Look Forward To In Entertainment This 2022 10:59 AM Can't imagine what our lives would be like if in the middle of this p a n d e m i c, Hollywood isn't here to entertain us.God bless Netflix, Spotify, Hulu, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, and all other streaming sites.I'm forever thankful for the entertainment industry!What have you been binge-watching or listening to lately? I have a few. Most of them I've already finished (in one seating!). So I'm really looking forward to more of these shows, albums, and movies this year.This post contains affiliate links so we'd get a commission if you purchase through the links at no additional cost to you.9 Things to Look Forward to in Entertainment This 2022 1. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 4Set in the late 1950s, this series follows the story of Miriam "Midge" Maisel. A doting and supportive wife, mother, stubborn but loving daughter, and a woman who's trying to break the mold of women during her time.Why I love it:I love Midge's quick wit, sense of humor, and resilience.I love how she's naturally funny and doesn't let men, her family, the industry, or society stereotyping scare her from pursuing her passion. I love how she stands up for herself, even if that means ruffling a lot of feathers.And Tony Shalhoub! From Mr. Monk to Midge's dad, his comedic timing is notable.The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is another Amy Sherman-Palladino masterpiece that's impossible not to love.The 4th season will be released on February 18, 2022, on Amazon Prime. Get 30 days FREE trial on Amazon2. The Great Season 3This dramedy satire is about Catherine the Great's journey from an outsider to the longest-ruling female monarch in Russia.It changed my view about period dramas. Why I love it:Another series that's about a woman's rise to power and strength of character. I love her eagerness to change the rotten system and push for basic rights like proper education despite everyone looking at her like she's a big joke.Even when she's feeling like she doesn't belong and with almost everyone betraying her, she pushed on.Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult are both amazing for the roles.I love how they both slowly realized that they love each other.There's no release date yet for season 3 but Elle Fanning posted a teaser video on her Instagram.I'm looking forward to seeing more of Peter's (Nicholas) character development.Huzzah!3. Bridgerton Season 2The Bridgerton series is based on a collection of eight novels written by Julia Quinn. It's about the eight siblings of the powerful Bridgerton family finding their way in life and finding love.Why I love it:Am I the only one who wished Daphne Bridgerton ended up with the prince instead of the duke?I get it though. Good girl meets bad boy love story really sells.And in the end, I love how the duke realized that his love for Daphne was more important than the grudge he was holding.I love the colorful dresses too---except those of the Featherington's. My favorite is Eloise Bridgerton. She couldn't care less about being social and her debut. Another lady who doesn't want to conform to society and be her own self.The mystery behind Lady Whistledown's true identity adds to the excitement of the show. I'm usually able to guess but this one, well, I didn't see that coming.Bridgerton Season 2 will premiere on 25 March 2022 on Netflix.4. Only Murders in the Building Season 2OMITB is a mystery-comedy about three strangers living in an affluent Upper West Side apartment building.They bonded over their shared obsession with a true-crime podcast they got to use in solving their neighbor's murder.Why I love it:I love a mystery where just when you thought you knew who did it and how the story went, there's another plot twist that will leave you clueless again.Steve Martin and Martin Short are Hollywood treasures. I love how they can effortlessly make you laugh. I love that you'd be surprised where the comedy would come in. You'd be so hooked with the story and suddenly there's a line that will crack you up.Selena is lovable as always.Season 2 of Only Murders in the Building could arrive as early as mid-2022.5. House of the DragonFinally, we'd get to see the story of the House Targaryen during the civil war that took place about 300 years before the Game of Thrones.I've not read the book but because I like GOT series (except for the last 3 seasons maybe), I am looking forward to learning more about Daenyres' ancestors and who among them was mad or was great. Or both?There's no release date yet but House of the Dragon will likely premiere in the back half of 2022.6. The BatmanBatman faces one of his nemeses The Riddler and discovers corruption that connects to his own family.Why I love it:He may not be the most lovable DC superhero, but I like how despite not having superpowers, Batman makes do of what he has---wealth and wit---to save his crime-riddled home city, Gotham.He is still fighting his own demons from his dark past but he's there to defend and protect those who can't fight for themselves.I'm curious as to how Robert Pattinson's Batman would be different than the previous ones.The Batman is due in US cinemas on March 4, 2022.7. Shadow and Bone Season 2A young adult fantasy adventure novel adaptation by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone series is about Alina Starkov. She didn't know that she possesses a powerful ability that could destroy what their people has feared since time immemorial and change her otherwise ordinary life.Why I love it:I love a good escape from reality and Shadow and Bone offers that.From magical creatures to supernatural abilities, it can take you to places you've never imagined.I love the bond between Alina and Mal. I'm excited to know if neophytes like them could defeat someone as adept as the Darkling.It reminds me of the usual heroes who were forced to stand up against evil like Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, and Tris Prior.Season 2 of Shadow and Bone will be released by the end of 2022 or early 2023.8. Taylor Swift's next album Fearless and Red Taylor's versions were on repeat on my phone when she released them in 2021. As always, TayTay's secretive when it comes to releasing her music but she might be dropping her versions of Reputation or 1989 anytime this 2022.Reputation is my favorite album so I'm really excited for her to remake it.Will there be another bomb in these albums like Mr. Perfectly Fine and All Too Well 10 minutes version? I don't know but with Taylor Swift's genius, anything is possible.9. Marvel movies and showsI wish that Marvel would never stop producing movies and shows---even with critics saying they're destroying the movie industry.We need a little bit of inspiration and hope especially at this time and I think superhero movies give us that.Moon Knight, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, She-Hulk, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special are on my list.Life may be hard because of this v i r u s but I'm glad that we live in the superhero movies era. The inner child in me rejoices. All Gifs from GiphyI am eternally grateful to the entertainment industry. For keeping us sane and being a great company in these trying times. A silver lining indeed.What do you look forward to in entertainment this 2022?
Listicle Dateless On Valentine's Day? 10 Fun Things You Can Do 7:11 AM Dateless on Valentine's Day? What can you do? Don't fret.No romance. No Valentine's date. No problem. If Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate love, then go ahead and celebrate. Have fun!Love is not exclusive for gooey-eyed couples anyway. What is Valentine's Day and why do most people celebrate it? Valentine's Day is the feast day of St. Valentine. He is the patron saint of lovers, epileptics, and beekeepers. I know. Wide range. Cool guy. There's no clear and reliable information about his life and death or on how the whole Valentine's Day holiday started. In the present day, we just celebrate it as a lover's day. Or Singles Awareness Day for some.Why don't you get productive and research it on February 14? Kidding!Here are 10 fun things you can do if you happen to be dateless on Valentine's Day. Giphy Dateless on Valentine's Day? 10 Fun Things You Can Do 1. Nothing. Hey doing nothing can be fun too.Don't celebrate if you don't feel like it.Some people don't celebrate Christmas or Thanksgiving because of religion, culture, or preferences. You may or may not celebrate Valentine's Day. There really is no pressure. Giphy 2. Go shopping! As part of their marketing, different companies are offering big discounts and promos for Valentine's Day. This is a great time to shop til you drop your budget would allow. This is your chance to save on your shopping list. Makeagif 3. Pamper yourself What could be more fun than spoiling yourself?Set an appointment at your favorite spa and get pampered. They are most likely having a Valentine's Day promo. Celebrate self-love. To love yourself is not just a self-esteem-boosting piece of advice. It is the prerequisite to truly loving others. -Tania Kotsos Giphy 4. Hangout with friends If you're dateless on Valentine's day, don't forget that Galentines is a thing.Go out with your girlfriends or best buddies. They're there for you in your ups and downs. Why not celebrate love with them this day? When you finally find your life partner, you'll have a different priority...and plans for Valentine's Day.Have some fun time with your awesome friends for right now. Giphy 5. Give love to others Send out your love to the people around you. I have a guy friend who gives flowers to all his gal friends on Valentine's Day. Another friend gives chocolates. It's thoughtful and sweet. And it's fun to watch your friend's reaction to your surprise. Not to mention considerate to those who are also not expecting anything on this day. Giphy 6. Watch a concert or Valentine's show special Your favorite artist may be having a show on this day. Watch a concert with friends who are also fans. Chances are, you'll be so entertained that you forget about making a big fuss about being dateless on Valentine's Day. Giphy 7. Travel Grab promo flights or hotel discounts offered on Valentine's Day. Traffic may be really bad around this time and that's no fun.So plan your trip ahead of time. Giphy 8. Staycation If you'd rather stay at home, you can! And so far, that's the wisest thing to do to avoid traffic, long lines, and the temptation of spending more than you need. Watch a rerun of your favorite show or have a movie marathon. You can invite your other dateless friends. Valentine's Day-themed movies are a thing, but you can watch horror-thriller if you want. No one's going to stop you. Read a good book. Play games. Cook for yourself. Or spend your time with those who love you unconditionally----your dogs! Giphy 9. Tick off that to-do item on your list.Your friends may be busy today and this could be your chance to do that thing you've always wanted.What thing?Maybe that book you haven't finished reading yet.That art project you started years ago.That meal you've been wanting to cook since you've tried it.That closet you've always wanted to organize.That friend you've been planning to call.That place you've wanted to visit.Who's got the time to worry about being dateless on Valentine's Day when you've got some fun things to do lined up?Giphy 10. Carpe diem Carpe diem. Even though you find it hard to believe right now, you won't be dateless forever. So while you still have the opportunity to spend more time with yourself, enjoy it. Seize the day. Dateless on Valentine's Day or not, live in the moment. Be genuinely happy where you are. Remember...If you're not happy being alone, you won't be happy in a relationship. Happiness comes from within and not from other people. Giphy Appreciate the untroubled life of being dateless. No pressure. No worrying about what you're going to wear, what gift you're going to buy your partner, or how you're going to surprise them. No hassle. The trip to the restaurant could be challenging with the number of people who will also be out on Valentine's Day. No problem. Don't listen to the lies of marketing telling you to buy flowers or be out there with everyone else. If you're only going out on a date because you're scared to be dateless on Valentine's Day, then what's the point? Learn to enjoy your own company, because if you won't, who else will?What do you usually do on Valentine's Day? Any suggestion for the dateless?

Life Lessons How Would You Rate Yourself 6:54 AM No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt How would you rate yourself?This is a common question when applying for a job. From 1-10, how would you rate yourself as a candidate or employee?Should you be humble and give a low number? Or would you be bold enough to sell yourself; your skills, your assets, and what-have-yous?Never say 1.It means that you don't know anything, you have self-esteem issues, or you're faking humility. Don't say 10 either because that's a perfect score and that means there's no room left for improvement. For job interviews, the safe and recommended answer to the question "How would you rate yourself?" is...an 8 or a 9. Why would you give yourself this rating?It means you know enough about the industry and your role, and you're aware of your strengths. Plus, you're humble and wise enough to know that you can still improve.It shows you're willing to grow and learn.No company would want to hire someone who's hard to train and a know-it-all.Go SocialHow would you rate yourself is one of the most common questions during an interview that most people find hard to answer.Here are other common job interview questions and how to answer them.How would you rate your life?How about in life? How would you rate yourself?Where are you now vs where you thought you'd be?Are you living your dream life or were you delayed because there was a detour?How are you doing? If you're still standing after the storm...If you're still fighting despite the failures...If you still believe that everything will work out despite the messy situation you're currently in...Give yourself a pat on the back and cut yourself some slack.You won't always get what you want, but God will provide what you need.Sometimes on your way to your dreams, you'd get lost. But you'll find yourself. And you'll realize there's something better.You may not be a 10 according to society but as long as you're doing your best, who cares?Celebrate small victories.Say this with me: I'm nowhere near perfect. I'm a work in progress. But, I'm also far from the person I used to be. You are improving. You are better than the person you were yesterday.Isn't that more important than what society thinks?Be humble enough to know you're no better than anybody and wise enough to know you're unique.We have different paths to take. Your vision and dreams may not make sense to others because they weren't given that vision.I saw this funny meme on Instagram that says, "No one else is supposed to understand your calling. It wasn't a conference call."Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle, or your middle to someone else's end. Don't compare the start of your second quarter of life to someone else's third quarter. (Jon Acuff)Quit overthinking. This book can help you:And when you rate yourself, remember to extend yourself a little kindness. You are a work in progress but you are enough.This post contains affiliate links so I'd get a commission if you purchase through my links at no additional cost to you. This helps me maintain my site.

Health & Wellness The 4 Chronotypes, Our Sleep And Activity Level Connection 12:02 AM Do you notice that you function better at a certain time during the day? Some people work effectively in the morning while others excel during the wee hours.Maybe you know someone who can still deliver excellent work even with only a few hours of sleep. Others need to get a full 8 hours to be efficient.What is your The 4 Chronotypes, Our Sleep And Activity Level Connection Chronotype, and how is it connected to your sleep and activity level?Dr. M. Breus is one of many who did extensive research to understand Chronotype better. He came up with a helpful Chronotype quiz.Chronotype influences your sleep pattern, energy level, appetite, mood, and other daily activities.According to Dr. M. Breus' research, people fall into these 4 Chronotype categories.4 Chronotypes: Our Sleep and Activity Level Connection1. The Lion Chronotype The famous idiom early bird can best describe people in the Lion Chronotype. They get up early and get things done ahead of schedule. They are productive from the get-go.They don't need a lot of time to get ready in the morning.However, this activity level will not last all day. They would experience a drop by noon or a few hours afterward. They also don't do well with engagements in the latter part of the day. 2. The Bear ChronotypeMost people fall into this class. The Bear Chronotype mirrors the sun. They are at their peak activity-wise between 9 am to 5 pm; when the sun is also up.The bears need a little bit of time to settle into work and they're at their best around noon. Like the lions, they are not best suited for social and work activities in the evening. 3. The Wolf ChronotypeThe wolves in the Chronotype category are nowhere near the bears in terms of popularity. Only approximately 15% of people fall into this class.They're known as night owls because of their sleep and activity level peculiarities. People in this category are at their best towards the latter part of the afternoon. They are at their peak and can get a lot done in the evening when the bear and especially the lion is experiencing a drastic decline in their activity level.Wolves are not good at rising early in the morning. Because of their activity level, they are one of the best Chronotype classes for night shifts. They could do well in a freelance career, working with clients at a different timezone as the conventional working hours of 9 am – 5 pm does not favor them. 4. The Dolphin ChronotypeIf you think the wolf class of Chronotype was unusual, then you're in for a surprise.Meet the dolphin class.Only 10% of individuals are part of this Chronotype. This category would usually sleep later than any other Chronotype classes, but they would be up and active early---same as the early birds.They're known as insomniacs. One unique thing about them is their intelligence level. They are some of the most intelligent people you'd meet despite having little sleep.They are also light sleepers. Consequentially, the dolphin class is prone to anxiety. Other than the chronotype quiz by Dr. M. Breus, other quizzes can help you better understand your chronotype and how it's connected to your sleep and activity level.Which of the 4 Chronotype classes do you fall on?
Listicle 10 Things I Wish They Taught Us In School 5:47 AM Another day has passed and I didn't get to use Algebra and Calculus once. Phew! 😂Why did I take it up again? Oh, right. It's required to get my degree. I wish they'd given us the chance to choose what we want to learn. Or that they change the curriculum and teach us the essential things in life.Do you also wish that sometimes? I mean, do you even remember what the Pythagorean theorem is and its purpose?Here are 10 things I wish they taught us in school.10 Things I Wish They Taught Us in School1. Filing taxes and how we can save or pay lessI remember taxes being explained briefly in school.I don't remember our school teaching us how to lessen the amount we need to pay. I know there are rich people who find a loophole in taxes. They're so rich because they can get around it. I wish they taught us an easier way to file taxes. The basic ones. So we don't dread tax season and do not have to hire a bookkeeper or accountant as much as possible.Thankfully, there are YouTube channels now explaining how certain taxes should be filed.2. Mental Health Care There's a stigma about people suffering from mental health problems.I wish they taught us how to deal with anxiety for example not only when you're taking up psychology, psychiatry, or the like.How to take care of our mental health should be taught early on to avoid making it worse. And for the person suffering from it to not be scared to open up and seek help.It's important to let young people know what they feel is normal or if it's time for them to get professional help. What can they do when they feel paralyzed by fear?How should we talk to someone who is going through depression?If mental health has been given the focus and importance it deserves, maybe more suicides and self-harm could've been avoided.More people wouldn't feel bad, lost, or guilty for feeling their feelings.People would be more sensitive and empathetic towards others.3. The truth about animal agriculture or how our food is made.This is not to force people to go vegan (though it would be nice if you would). This is to give you the option. To know what you're choosing and the consequences of your choice.When I found out about what they do to animals, how disgusting and dreadful the situation is, I felt duped. Why didn't anyone tell me how horrible the process was for my cheeseburger to be made?Thank goodness for plant-based alternatives now.Show your kids real footage and not staged videos of animals killed for food. Then let them decide for themselves.4. How to live more sustainably. Rich people are trying to discover how we can thrive on other planets, but...Shouldn't we spend more time and money to save what we have instead of looking for another planet to abuse and corrupt live on?There's nothing wrong with progress. I'm here for a future with flying cars and all the high-tech fun.But it shouldn't mean we should trash our planet while working our way to a better future, right?May we learn to live sustainably even when schools don't focus on teaching us how.5. Laws and rightsIn the US alone, more than 30,000 statutes have been enacted since 1789.We studied the basics of law and those that are important in the field you study. For example, we have a subject on Ethics and Jurisprudence in Pharmacy.But there are people who are not aware of some of their basic rights like the right to fair wages. That's especially true in my country.Side note: Do you know that it's illegal to fly a kite in Victoria, Australia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina?What other crazy laws do you know of?6. How to invest or the different kinds of investmentIs there a conspiracy theory that keeps the poor poor and helps the rich become richer? Because why aren't they teaching us how to grow our money properly in school?All I learned about investing and growing your money exponentially, I learned from financial gurus.If I could learn simple investment through a one-day seminar and follow it up with YouTube videos, imagine what we could do if we learn it all our years spent in school. I'm sure you've heard stories of Chinese families talking about money at the dining table even with their young kids as naturally and casually as talking about their favorite Disney characters.No wonder they're good at businesses and investments.7. How to start and grow a businessSpeaking of business, not everyone's good at it.But maybe just because we don't know what we can sell or how to sell. Our every day involves marketing. We use marketing in convincing our parents to give us money. Why did you add that product to your cart even if you don't really need it? Effective marketing.We recommend products to our friends. We are natural salespersons. Might as well use that skill to start a business and help us grow our money.In Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, his rich dad taught him about selling and business while he was young. Something even his poor dad who's a professor is not knowledgeable about.8. The power of the law of attraction or having the right mindsetWhy don't they teach us the importance of having the right mindset? The winning mentality? Or that we have the power to make things happen?We see it in movies and in other people we know. We read it in self-help books.
