Just want to share my happy happy feelings 
last Sunday with the husband. This is something that needs to be a part of my happy moments in life. You know why? Because it’s been almost 4 years since my husband and I went out on a date just by ourselves. Living here abroad without relatives or immediate family is definitely hard most of the time especially if you have young kids. Unlike before, when we were still in the Philippines, we can just live our kids in my mom’s house or a close friend’s house. Well, in most cases, parents in the Philippines can hire an affordable babysitter. But not here in the US. To hire a babysitter here is luxury, I’m telling you

For me, it is sometimes great for couples to go out without their kids. To have their own moment for a couple of hours. I believe it’s important to couples. I’m explaining this to all of you, so people won’t call me shallow for being exaggerated with regards to my date 
Our first plan for this date was to watch a Chicago Bull’s game at United Center but since it way too expensive we settled to our second option and that is to watch a movie.
Anyways, let’s go back to the topic. As I was saying, my hubby and I went out last Sunday to watch ‘Shutter Island’ at downtown Chicago. But before that, we went to some stores first. We checked out Marshalls for some goodie stuff to purchase. I found a Micheal Kors bag which cost $99.99
. I liked the bag’s style so much. It’s a body bag, shoulder, messenger whatever you wanna call it. It’s the kind of style for a bag that I really want. If it wasn’t a designer bag I might have purchased it. I really wanted to buy it. I felt like I’m gonna grab it and pay for it and will not care if it is expensive. But I held back cos I need to buy new sneakers cos my old one is already tattered. As a mom of two, it is way comfortable for me if I wear sneakers than high healed shoes as I walk a lot. So we headed to Niketown and spent the money I earned from paid posts. I got the Woman Dunk Low style in color red. I like it a lot 
After a little bit of shopping we then watched the movie and ate dinner at Friday’s then picked up the kids at my friend’s house and went home. That was one of the awesome date I’ve had with my man. 
Dinner at Friday's
By the way, just a thought about the movie, ‘Shutter Island’. I don’t like it cos it’s not what I expected it to be. I thought it was hella scary or some gory movie which could be something new for Leonardo DiCarpio. Don’t get me wrong the movie is good. It deserves the rating it got. I just really thought that it was a bloody movie cos that’s what I’ve seen from the trailer. The movie is similar to ‘A Beautiful Mind’ and ‘Reign over me’ combined.
I wanna say thank you to Ate Merlita for looking out the kids for us. She was so kind to accept our favor. Thanks ‘te 
I like this pic. I look extra pretty (^o^)
My new sneakers. cute eh?

Hey, to start with I want to say that I love your blog. Great post, I entirely agree with you. Have a great day matey.
hahaha kaya nga wag masyadong mag expect! Alam mo naman how trailers are, they’re deceiving! :1: anyhoo, congrats at nakapag date kayong dalawa. Totoo yan, mas gusto ko gastusin ang pera ko sa may kwentang bagay, but for just one bag? I don’t think so. kahit love ko mga bags hehehe.
wow.. what a happy moments you have ate scart… actually minsan wala kaming gayang moments with my parents.. busy on work?? haha! duh… well kahit papano you have to do that in your life, di un puro nalang work to get more incomes slash forget the happiness! wtf!!
well good to hear that from you.. till here…
@shiro: ganun kasi madalas ang nangyayari sa mag-asawa lalo na kung meron ng mga anak. wala ng panahon para sa kanilang dalawa. I mean ang magkasarilinan silang dalawa. Thank you for stopping by here
aww the sneakers are banging ate! And i love how you are so practical about everything. that is something i really really really need to learn. your also looking very pretty. miss you! glad you had fun!!
Yeah it’s always nice to spend alone time with your husband once in awhile
I’m familiar with your shoes. I have the same type but in a different color, mine’s somewhat dark gray? You can see it in one of my 365 photos 
Good to see you enjoyed your date! <3
that must be a great date. i see married couples who go out in a date with just the two of them and i can tell that they feel great about it. i mean, who wouldn’t? they say it brings back the old times – before marriage.
Wow! At least, after few years, you were able to bond with your hubby na po! Weeee.
Seems that you really enjoyed your date! 
yay!! that’s so fun. buti ate nakalabas ulit kayo ng kayong 2 lag, at least mega bonding ng walang iniisip diba? at may shopping pa! nice shoes.
