On the Way

When it comes to weekend getaway, I don’t have different thing to tell, as we’re going fishing again and again. We went to the usual fishing place, there’s no trying a new one this time.

During on the way to Kampung Katulampa (Bogor, West Java, Indonesia), I saw some things on blue that attracted my attention. I think I can share it here.
Our 4th fishing getaway was going well. Though it’s raining on and off, my father and husband can enjoy it. They caught 4 fish this Sunday. The good news for me, my husband agreed to apply their cooking service. We brought home fried and roasted fish!

Couple’s Corner: Hearts Everywhere

Every one who ever fall in love, will know how to describe “hearts everywhere”. Your mind is full of your loved one. Every time you wake up in the morning, you’ll straightly remember him/her. You’ll be anxious whole day if you can’t hear her/his voice. People say that falling in love has millions feelings…

I’ve ever felt “the hearts everywhere” like those. It’s a pity that I didn’t feel it with the man that is my hubby now. It happened during my first love, with my boy friend at that time. Wow, our days together were happy days. We went to work and went back home together on weekdays; and had fun together on weekends. As God don’t approve us as a couple, finally our relationship must end.

I won’t share anymore here about “the hearts everywhere’ of mine, since I’m already feeling ‘guilty’ here. I really love my hubby, but I confess that I didn’t experience “the hearts everywhere” moment with him. Well, I’m not in the mood right now to analyze it. I think everyone has different love story, so do I. For me, the most important is, I have a happy marriage life since we got married until now, and I hope it will be forever.

Disappointing Weekend Getaway and the Fishing Competition

Last Sunday, my father asked me to go fishing again. To give him another choice, we took my father to a different fishing place that I found while browsing internet. It’s a pity that it turned out to be a disappointing one.

The fishing place is too hot for us; we didn’t feel comfortable at all. This place is very huge and crowded. The food price at the restaurant is also too expensive (for us). I think we prefer a modest, familiar and smaller place.

My father and husband bought fishing tools there. After fishing for a while, my father wasn’t on the mood to continue it. He put his fishing rod outside. Later, we noticed that someone (didn’t know who) has changed it with a broken one. There’s no good reason for us to stay there longer. It’s better to leave the place soon.

I took some pictures there, but I can’t share here. I forgot to leave my camera bag (and the camera cable) in the car; and my husband has left home very early this morning. Here I share the fishing competition moment that I saw last month at a different fishing place. All these men looked so good at fishing. I like seeing how they swang the fishing rod. It’s not safe to stand right behind them! I watched their actions from a safe distance. For my father, it’s the first time to see lots of fishing men after very long time. After this ‘moment’, we already have had three fishing weekend getaways in a row!

Before "I Do": Marriage and the Money Question

Before "I Do": Marriage and the Money Question

This post was written by Joe Postien who also writes for onlineclasses.net and christiancounselingdegree.org

Statistics estimate that 45% of marriages end in divorce. The number one factor leading to couples splitting up? Money-related issues. Relationships disintegrate when partners have different financial expectations, spending and saving habits, and investment strategies than the other. Divorces in and of themselves are extremely costly too, what with lawyer and court fees and settlements afterwards.

It's just better to make sure partners are financially compatible before tying the knot. Going into a marriage, there should be no surprises looking, and that includes with finances. Make sure you are both on the same page by having a frank, open discussion involving the following marriage and money questions. It's not the most romantic or exciting topic in the world, but it is certainly an emotional one that is essential to having a working marriage. It may be what makes your marriage rock-solid where there otherwise may have been cracks in the foundation -- and it will save you a ton of money and heartache later on. For other common sense tips on saving money, check this out.

• Discuss how your parents handled money: So many of our habits are learned from what our parents did, especially with regards to money. It's important to know how each other's parents handled money, both to draw on their successes and avoid their missteps. Did one hide money from the other? How were things when money got tight? Knowing what you each learned, both in what you took from your parents and are consciously avoiding, can help you both understand each other's financial habits and aims.

• Check out your credit scores: Probably the least exciting of any pre-marriage planning, but people forget all too often that money is not just about numbers -- there are deep emotions attached to it. Credit scores can determine whether couples qualify for loans on new cars, houses, or businesses, essential aspects of building a future together. A partner's bad score can be a deal-breaker, one that will come as an ugly surprise if not disclosed previously. Don't let there be any surprises from a partner's past when going into marriage. Learn each other's credit scores, and work together to improve any discrepancies.

• Figure out who handles the bills: Money is power, and those who control the finances have it in a relationship. Therefore, couples used to living on their own and handling their own finances may struggle with each other to take control of paying the bills. Those who don't pay the bills don't know where the money is going, and are left in the dark feeling powerless. At the very least, meet together to do the bills once a month so you're both in the loop.


• Come to a compromise on who decides what: One of you is a tech geek, the other couldn't tell you the difference between a Mac and a PC but loves cars. So the techie gets to decide what computer you buy, while the car aficionado gets final say on your next ride, right? Well, maybe or maybe not. That's something each couple needs to figure out amongst themselves. Who gets final say on what purchases? Coming to decisions together is key, but so is knowing when to defer to the other who is more knowledgable.


• Know your expectations: How affluent do you want to be? Do you want to be extravagantly rich but have a spouse you will never see until retirement? Make sure you each know each other's goals for future financial success. It will help in all aspects of your relationship as you plan your future together because so many of those aspirations will be contingent on money.
