    17 years and counting and not a single bad word from me or her. not even once did we raised voices when we had disagreements. pag minura mo ang isang tao ibig sabihin wala ka na galang sa kanya. when respect goes the rest follow.


    pero si digong araw-araw minumura ko.
    Bilib nga ko sa wife mo kasi she chose to work kahit kayang kaya naman ng salary mo na housewife siya. Masipag talaga by nature, I respect women like her.

    Property decisions are always mutually arrived at though my wife is a much better negotiator than me. Just like CVT we are also in the midst of buying another property.....but its my wife who handles the negotiations. We just consult each other on the ceiling price and future plan for that property.

    Right now we are also finishing renovation on a house we bought last year. She did all the design and worked with all the contractors and haggled hard. We are also about to start on a new house construction in an empty lot that will be used for rent. She is doing all the plans. I defer to her on those decisions. I just provide the financing hehe. Well some of it.

    BTT depends where the house is gonna be constructed. But i guess construction cost of 30t per sqm is for average decent quality. You can obviously do with much less but the finishing and quality will reflect it. Luxury homes are about 70t ++++ per sqm.

    I think women make better negotiators. Pansin ko lang na pag lalaki sa tiangge parang mas mabilis makapagbili kesa sa mga babae who will try (and often succeed) at buying the same items for a lower price...

Our VP MNL told VP Europe that the Philippines is a Patriarchal society and women are supposed to serve their husbands, to which I totally agreed She is accomplished (VP), intelligent (UPd ENG) and attractive (40 something tall and slim) YET she acknowledges the fact na ang husband dapat talaga pinagsisilbihan. Magkasundo kami, she even gives me advise pag nag asawa na ko. And she gives me almost identical advise as my Mom! (eg don't argue with the husband). Fantasy ko talaga yung pagsisilbihan ko si crush, little things like cook what he wants to eat, massage ko, punasan pawis, lagyan ko toothpaste yung toothbrush, wake him up with ***y time and before sleeping hahaha! Dream life ko yan! Bahala na si husband anong kotse o bahay gusto niya lol
    Kaya nga Philippines, Motherland; sa Germany, Fatherland.😎

    Ganyang-ganyan si Leviste noon kay Loren Legarda base sa mga kwento niya.... 😍

    Dapat lang sa babae nagtatrabaho.

    Aba e graduate ng college tapos aasa sa asawang lalaki para sa pera?

    Iyan ang unang dahilan sa pang aabuso ng lalaki sa asawa,- totally dependent sa kanya e.

    E kung biglang madedo si lalaki e di tingala'y nganga si babae??? E paano na susuportahan ang mga anak?

    Pinagsasabihan ko mommy ko when she bargains too hard. I really hate when she does that. My Dad overpays and tips huge when it comes to small sellers (eg street side vendor or wet market vendor), it establishes a relationship and at the same time you get to support small businessmen (unlike GREEDY EVIL SM)

    Say that to the millions of housewives on earth

    re the husband dying, that's why money should not come solely from the salary of the husband.

    Privilege talaga maging housewife (for those who choose to be) kaya dapat lang pagsilbihan nila mga asawa nila.

    Milyones na ang presyo ng mga pabahay sa Metro Manila, pero merong Php400,000 basta willing ka sa outskirts like GenTri sa Cavite and Porac sa Pampanga.

    Nag site visit ako sa GenTri Bella Vita (BellaVita - Real Estate Developer - Makati - 2,38 Reviews - 2,764 Photos | Facebook mura ng DP.
