Funny how I read today’s theme as “Hubby’s hobby” when in fact it’s “Mommy”…I told a blogging friend that I must be missing the hubby even if he’s been away for only 15 hours. He went to a US trip and would be there for 3 weeks! Three long weeks, I scream! I can’t bear the thought and I don’t know how I could be at ease. The last time he went on a one-week trip was already agonizing (yes, that much!) and it was to a city only 3 hours away.
This made me realize how much time hubby and I spend together doing things we both enjoy. There’s watching American TV shows, reading books despite different genre preferences (he’s on his corner, I’m on mine); working online, sleeping late (is that even counted?); photoshop, photo postcard layouting and photography most of all.
Let me share my library with you, as I haven’t arranged my bookshelf I’m using my online library list (not full)….this does not include his books.
I am in many ways grateful that he loves to read too. (Read: he won’t complain my buying of books.) lol. As I’ve often mentioned, I still carry a book every time I’m out to finish some tasks, business or document-related stuff…in fact, my iBooks shelf is totally empty. Shame!
I enjoy cooking and baking as well. I try to learn as much as I can and be a domestic diva in my own way. (Giggles). I don’t have the piping skills yet but I’m slowly learning. I would one day want to design cakes with fondant but I don’t really have the liberty.
Lastly, it has been my hobby, well more of a must to improve on my languages. I’ve enrolled in Spanish level 2 scheduled Fridays at 8:30-10:30 and Japanese refresher on Tuesdays at 9:30 – 11. Hope I can manage…
Do you have “One Day” by Nicolas Sparks? I want to read that kaso nakikita ko dito in Deutsch na. hehe.. Baka abutin ako ng isang taon bago ko matapos un kakatingin sa dictionary. haha! 🙂
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i can feel you sis!! ako nga 9 mos!
Which part of the mainland is he visiting – business?
Hi M…he’s on tour but I doubt if he’d go as far as NY, Cali, BC, Seattle, Vegas are on the list…
WOW! You are super woman!
You make productive use of your time, engaging in worthwhile hobbies. I’d like to learn a new language, too. Here’s my MM entry: http://www.pensivethoughts.com/2011/10/mommy-moments-mommys-hobbies.html

I’m looking forward to include baking to my hobbies too!
Happy MM

Love the new blog theme! Parang gusto ko tuloy magpalit, hehehe!
It’s amazing how attached we are to our husbands no? Even if we don’t really interact with each other while we are working, as long as we know that they are just right there in their corner, panatag na tayo.
Love the book list. Will have to visit your LibraryThing next time, I might discover new books to read.
No comment on the baking! LOL
I’ve read some of the books on your library. Thanks for sharing it by the way, it’s so interesting and got hooked looking at it for awhile, hehe.
I wish I’m good in baking or even cooking. Unfortunately, I’m only good in eating, lol!
was here from my MM entry. hope you can visit mine at:

I have an account in Library Thing too, but I’m inactive now. I see though that we have books in common, like Kafka’s and Murakami’s.
How wonderful that you also married a bookworm! I saw Paradise Lost on your LT list. *Chika: I got this 800th Anniversary Portrait Book of Cambridge U, and it has a commentary and photos of John Milton’s manuscript of Paradise Lost! I see a lot of classics on your display. Most of either inspiration or setting of those novels I have read and visited, i.e. the Brontes (ilang beses akong paulit-ulit nag drive by sa bahay nila, with the moors to boot, think of Harry Potter as well) Sssshhhh… Anne Shirley? Field trip nga tayo sa PEI 🙂
that is great to have so much in common with your hubby. 🙂 i also admire you are able to have such wide variety of things to do. i also love your photography, aside from your writing! you are blessed with talent girl!
glad you joined us this week. see you again next week!
i am also into cooking and baking…hope we get to exchange ideas one of these days..
