Joey and Faith

Every couple existing from our ancestors up to today have differences that sometimes leads to petty quarrels...yet if unsolved or lack of understanding for each other will bring their relationship very complicated...or even some leads to annulment, divorce or separation.

Curiously, me and Joey were so dissimilar and it's a wonder why we ever been together at all. Here are some things we argue about: 1. He's very sociable, that he can sit with a complete stranger for half an hour and finds out all about his past, his present circumstances, and his plans for his future...on the other hand, I can sit infront of another person for hours without giving him more than a glance...kasi he wanted me to talk a lot or to voice out, eh I was born shy or quiet type...but I'm doing my best to be assertive most of the time now..at umiinit talaga yung ulo niya if we have confrontations and ako ay tahimik lang sa tabi...minsan kasi or I say always (toinks) sinusubukan ko yung patience niya kung hanggang saan...yet I also have reasons why I just keep quiet cos' ayokong sumabay sa init ng kanyang ulo..maybe bcos I always have alot of patience in all things most of the time...I always remembered what my MIL told us, if yung isa apoy yung isa ay dapat maging tubig para maging neutral..in every misunderstanding dapat may isang handang magpakumbaba kahit na siya or yung isa man ang tama...2. I always exhibit common sense, while my hunny is sometimes wool-headed...kasi ba naman kung anu yung kanyang pinaniniwalaan yun yung dapat masusunod kahit minsan baluktot naman...sometimes pinagbibigyan ko na lng para wala nang away. 3. He's fond of repeating questions which was answered previously...para bang ulyanin...(grrrrrrrrrrr!) I really find it annoying and hate answering it over and over again...kaya tahimik na naman ako...(toinks!hehehehe). 4. I'm fond of making surprises for him but he's too paranoid na minsan na mis-interpret niya yung ginagawa ko for him...kaya minsan sumasama yung loob ko sa kanya kasi ang slow...para bang computer na nag-dadownload pa before mka-gets...kung hindi ko lang mahal ang ungas na ito eh...(haay naku! nakakaloka). 5. We always argue if I spend most of my time infront of the laptop feeling niya kasi wala na akong time for him and our baby, and he's worried na mangyari na naman ulit yung nangyari sa akin before...(remember? its here) or sometimes b'cos he cant take his turn...(lol). 6. He's the youngest, that's why he thinks immaturely and a spoiled brat sometimes, kung anu ang gusto dapat ibibigay mo..on the other hand I'm the eldest, I am very demanding naman minsan, I am also a disciplinarian and an OC one, I hate it when our room is so messy, kasi hindi marunong magligpit ng bed pagkagising sa umaga...he's also burara sa mga gamit kung saan-saan lang nilalagay tapos nakakalimutan...7. He's so KJ and I am happy-go-lucky, especially if I were invited in a party ayaw niya akong payagan just b'cos he's afraid that I'll get drunk were infact he knows I don't drink alot or smoke...or if magkasama naman kami sa party, he's always in a hurry, para bang may hinahabol na importanteng bagay kahit na nagsisimula pa lang yung party..(sighh)...I remembered my cousin invited us to his wedding eh ayaw niya akong payagan kasi gabi na raw matatapos and ayaw naman niyang sumama kasi ma-out of place lang daw siya dun'...8. He's too jealous with my friends especially sa boys eventhough kilala naman niya and he knows that almost of my friends were boys...9. And recently we argue about my gift on his birthday, I gave him a silver necklace with a cross pendant tapos winala lang niya, di man lang niya pinahalagahan yung binigay ko at pinaghirapan ko pa namang i-save yung money ko just to buy him present...well I have nothing to do 'bout it kasi nawala na...mapapalitan lang naman yun mga material na bagay kaya I forgave him...and we're okay now...

Despite of our differences we've stuck together. It's probably b'cos we know how to work with our differences so that the strength of one makes up for the weakness of the other.
