Secured Facebook Profile

Have you read a post similar to this one in FB?

Hi peeps, FYI - While on Facebook, look at your URL address (up the top in the 'address' bar); if you see http: instead of https: then you don't have a secure session and you can be hacked. Go to Account|Account Settings|Account Security and click Change. Check at least the first setting, FB defaults to the non-secure setting.

I just did and profile url did start with https:// afterwards. Unfortunately it switches back off when you play games in FB. It prompts a question though, then you may have to manually switch it back on.

My games are equally important with networking. :-) I just hope my account won't get hacked.

Married but single but married

A lot of people are asking me how married life is.

It's been over a year since J and I got married and really, my answer has always been the same. 

Okay lang. Parang single pa din.

And its true. I couldn't really tell what's different. Is it just because we do not have kids yet? Or is it because we have a different level of attachment to each other?

Sometimes it scares me that we do not share the same fondness or the same level of cheesiness between most newly married people. Is it because we have spent more than 7 years in the dating stage before we settled down?

Are we just too career centered to focus on married life?

At times on a Friday or Saturday night, my mom would call me and ask me where I am. On a couple of situations I was out with my friends and J has his own thing. She would tell me that J and I should be going out as one and not as separate individuals. Is that an old fashioned thought? Well, I tell myself that I should respect our individuality and give space for each of our enjoyment. But sometimes, I feel like I should take a leap and make us stay together longer during the day.

I want to feel some form of cheesiness between us. We have been used to going around separately and I feel its not becoming healthy. Now I feel like crying for not being like other couples. It's not that this is a bad thing at all. I am just scared that I am missing something along this process.

I do not want to be a bad wife.

Options - something to be thankful for

Now that I am older, I realized that having to choose between things isn't something to whine about. I realized this when I got to meet a lot of people who didn't have any.

Yesterday, J and I are almost settled on the idea that we will move to Papua New Guinea this year. Today I confirmed news from my boss that I will get promoted.  

Happy? Of course! Now we have to decide again.

Papua New Guinea

kA few months back, J got a call from the Papua New Guinea office offering him to work there.

The offer is really competitive and we are still considering to take that job up to now. Although, I am still not really 100% sure on taking it mainly because of all the bad reviews I read on the internet. I really do not want to live somewhere more unsafe than Manila. 

But is it really that bad?

I've read a lot of expat forums on the internet and there aren't really any recent posts that would change the point of views of the previous posts. I really wonder how its like living there. I've got some friends who have been there for almost 2 years. They say there aren't really a lot of things to do there, like no movie houses at all. 

Savings wise, we can really save a lot even if I do not work. The contract is for 2 years. If we went for it, that is a lifestyle overhaul for me. 

I'm really confused.

Learning Some History

Last night J and I had dinner with the ZBK. We shared a big plate of Dagupan's Pride in Seafood Island, it was sulit.

Seafood Island's Dagupan Pride. (for 5-6 people)

Some conversation pieces:

North and South Korea (well mostly North). Kim Jong-il and his rule. I was left wondering, what do the people there know and what do they do? How is survival? What could life be like? How do they study the science of their nukes? We can only guess, who knows what happens there.

North Korea Army

Kim Jong-il.

Japan. World War 2 stories of abuse, tortures and killings. Babies thrown up in the air then killed with bayonets. Presently, Japan has already renounced its right to declare war and use its military for to settle international disputes. Then we thought, has Japan silently prepared its nation's defense when uncertainties come? Is their technology so advanced that their buildings will suddenly transform into robots, firing all intruders and winning a war? Or will this man come out and save them?

Remember Ultraman? Does he really grow by rubbing himself? Jejeje

Uglypay. A term coined from Aglipay (church) meaning ugly, chaka, pangit. Beauty pang foreigner!

Laughter is priceless especially when you share stories with your friends. :-)
