Flaws and All

Looking back my past entries, I realized I haven’t spoken about my relationship with the mister as much as I talked about him when weren’t married yet. I used to write love letter-like blogs before every so often. (and now, I’m going to try and concoct one!) I was inspired when Regine Velasquez sang Beyonce’s Flaws and All for Ogie last Sunday. I cannot stop thinking of its lyrics. It’s simple yet direct to the point. (Esp. on the “I’m a bitch in the afternoon” part! Haha!)

Since our wedding on February, our life has been on a whirlwind of change. We moved to our own apartment a couple of months ago; we begin doing things inseparably; we never miss eating dinner together; sometimes we watch the same reality shows and actually enjoy it! (Not to mention that we’re counting the days to finally meet our little one.)

The mister doesn’t care if once in a while I look wasted at night (note: without alcohol!). Sometimes I’m too tired to even blow dry my hair so he’ll help me do it. He has not failed to wash the dishes and to take out the trash (because he knows that I don’t like doing those things that much). He tolerates my mood swings and understands my inconsistent emotions due to hormonal surges. I have these pointless arguments now and then while he remains calm and ready to give me a hug.

In short, he accepts me flaws and all (just like the lyrics of the song). And this for me is married life; it’s much about pure unconditional love/commitment. I know we have yet to learn so many things but I’m contented that right now we’re doing a lot of progress.
