kept busy by expenses

it’s been four months since i got married. a lot of people had asked me what i’ve been doing for the past few months. i’d say to them, ‘nothing much’ ‘coz i didn’t want to go to a detail account of what i had been doing for the past few months. it’s not that i’m being a snob; i just dread the part when they’d ask me where i work, and i’d tell them that i’m not working and they’d say ,’why the hell not?’. few have said something like ‘you’re wasting your talent’ or ‘you shouldn’t have gone to college if you didn’t want to practice what you studied’ or ‘you’re a UP graduate; why didn’t somebody hire you?’. i think i just grew tired of explaining to these people why i’m not working. So when someone asks me that question, i always have the “my-husband-won’t-let-me-work-‘coz-he-wants-to-be-with-me-24-hrs-when-he’s-on-vacation” excuse. but there’s really more to it. that’s only the tip of the iceberg. we have our reasons, but i won’t go into detail today, maybe some other time.

so what kept me busy?

i spent a lot of time surfing the internet doing research, communicating with my Janssen, reading articles and blogs, stalking friends and interesting people in facebook, watching videos, downloading stuff etc.

i’m always busy with chores. i never ran out of chores.

i sometimes go out with friends.

i do most of the shopping (mostly groceries). 

i’ve done a lot of reading. i’ve had a variety of reading materials which included celebrity gossip and fashion (courtesy of the buzz, ok and yes magazines), homes and gardens, fiction and more serious stuff like books on business (which somehow managed to talk me into evaluating my expenses and debts as either bad or good).

 and i've been busy  evaluating every expenditure as either bad or good.
