Couple’s Corner: Our Talents
>> Jul 29, 2010
If the problem isn’t a hard one, I can count on him to repair anything at home. As long as he can repair it, we won’t ask for a professional help (it means saving money, hehehe). My hubby can be a good carpenter. Though he can’t work with wood often, he can create his own design and then build it. We install some of his wood works at our porch. You can see it at this photo below.

Marriage Advice: What Not to Say to Your Partner
>> Jul 25, 2010
Words can hurt. We know deep down that the words can cut like a knife. In a marriage, what we say to our spouse is important. The wrong thing can tear a husband's ego to slices. The wrong words can send a wife's self esteem falling. Words can be the life and death of a marriage.
Often husbands and wives use words out of anger or ignorance, with no conscious awareness of the consequences that their words may have on their spouse. It may be one sentence that could stab like a knife through the heart or it could be small words, relentless torture, that little by little, tear down delicately the love in your marriage.
Here are some suggestions on what to say to make your marriage stronger :
DO SAY:
-I love you
-You look beautiful (or handsome)
-I appreciate you
-I believe in you
-You are a wonderful person
-Thank you
-Would you please help me with this?
-I am thinking of you
-I can't wait to see you
-Please
-Can I help you?
-I love spending time with you
-You mean everything to me
-You are so strong (to the husband)
-You mean the world to me
-I am so lucky to have you in my life
-I am proud of you!
-I respect you
-I am here for you
-I am listening.
You may add other words that you usually use in your own marriage. Things that you should consider are: Always ask, don't demand. Give compliments. Share your feelings. You may think she knows that you love her. You make think he knows that you appreciate him, but often they don't. They need to hear it. Use "I" instead of "You" to start your sentences, so not to put your spouse on the defensive.
Next post is the turn of DON’T SAY part. See you…

Couple’s Corner: Our Hobbies
>> Jul 22, 2010
I have two new hobbies: blogging and photography. I’m not a web master or a professional photographer; I just like doing it. Fortunately, blogging is still inexpensive. I pay around $11 per month for internet connection and there’s no increase in the electricity bill. Of course, I don’t get a good internet connection; my connection would be very slow in the last week, every month.
To capture moments, I still use my pocket camera. A dslr camera is too expensive for me. I really want to be able to draw things, but I don’t have the talent. My three brothers are good at drawing; it’s only me that can’t draw. Photography is a good alternate; taking reality and beautiful objects is like drawing pictures…
Reading is still fun; but I don’t do it often anymore. There’s a small library near our house. It’s very cheap to borrow a book for a week. Cinta Baca is my favorite place to read and borrow books. I can read various topics of books and novels, according to my mood and need, hehehe.
Let’s talk about my hubby’s hobbies. There’s no doubt, he love cooking. Since we don’t have lots of money, he’s never cooked expensive food. It becomes a challenge to him, how to make delicious food from ordinary matter. My task is cleaning the mess in the kitchen! He also loves his vespa. He renovated it from an old junk vespa. When the weather is fine, we prefer riding the vespa to go anywhere, as long as it’s still inside the city.
I and my hubby love to watch movies, going out for food and listening music. It still can be inexpensive; since we’re fans of yummy but cheap food. There are our favorite places that offer delicious food in best prices. If we watch movies at cinemas; we prefer weekdays; it’s cheaper than weekend. My hubby usually downloads our favorite songs from internet.
It’s my story. What about your hobbies? Is it inexpensive, too?
The Ten Phrases Not to Say to Your Kids (3)
>> Jul 20, 2010
Here are the last three phrases:
Notice this situation: a mother was embarrassed when her daughter once pointed at a frizzy-haired woman at the grocery store and shouted with wide-eyed wonder, “Look at the witch!”
It can be heartbreaking to watch a frustrated child. But sometimes it doesn’t pay to do the superhero rescue. The more challenges children overcome, the prouder they’ll feel, says Dr. Stanley I. Greenspan, author of Great Kids. You are setting your child up for failure when you indulge them and make problems go away instantly. The only way to overcome challenge is to face it head on.
10. “Don’t make me turn this car around!”
There’s not much worse than a car ride with a badly behaved child (or two or three). When you’ve gotten to this point, you’ve already lost control, even from the driver’s seat. If you want to head home, just do it, but don’t give your children the authority to make that decision for you.

The Ten Phrases Not to Say to Your Kids (2)
>> Jul 19, 2010
Dear parents, it’s the second post. If you forget the first three; you can see here.
4. “We’ll see.”
Forcing your child to hug, kiss, or show affection to someone sends the message that he doesn’t have control. Kids need to be certain that they can say no to unwanted physical attention, starting at a young age, so that as they develop and grow they will know how to handle situations that they may be placed in.
If your child is hyperventilating or won’t sit still for emergency medical treatment, this phrase may not be so bad. But for ordinary emotions—even those expressed in ways that would rival a soap star’s performance—“calm down” may translate to: “Your feelings don’t matter.”
It is all right for your kids to know that you’re not perfect. Actually, they already know it. Experts agree that it’s better for parents to fess up to mistakes than to claim superiority. When you say, ‘I shouldn't have done that,’ your child will have a rock-solid sense that her feelings matter to the people who are most important in her life. Additionally, you don’t want to encourage your children to always be on a quest to be right, because as the phrase goes, no one is perfect.

Couple’s Corner: When We Were Sick
>> Jul 15, 2010
We’re only ordinary human; sometimes we can get sick, right? When I get sick that made me hard to get up from the bed, I always ask my husband’s help to replace my duties. He’s a caring husband, he always takes care of me well; and let me rest all day. I’m a kind of a good ‘patient’, I always take my medicine frequently, so, he doesn’t need to remind me all the time.
I guess, one of the important things of a couple life is, we should take care each other…

We Don’t Marry Perfect Persons!
>> Jul 7, 2010
Remember this: too much expectation can annoy your relationship. If your mind is full of thinking on your expectations about how is your partner should be; you’ll often feel disappointed.
If you have expectations, don’t hide it in your mind; say it to your partner. But don’t force him to change immediately. It needs process and many times to change one’s habits and personalities. Moreover, you should be ready if in fact, your partner is hard to change or can’t change at all!
You won’t sweat small stuff again. Don’t think small problem as a bigger problem. In our beginning of marriage, I still often sweat small stuffs. I almost grumble and complain every day. For example, my husband has a bad habit: after having a bath, he always put wet towel on the bed. At that time, this bad habit made me angry; but it doesn’t make me angry anymore. Why should I be angry? Just take the wet towel from the bed and hang it outside. You don’t need to be angry, right?
Since it’s hard to change your partner, it’s important for every single person to choose a future husband/wife carefully. Choose someone that love you, respect you, and can accept you completely.
