For this meme, I thank again, my friend, Racgold and her Filipino blog, Kuwentong Kengkay.

This tag is simple. If you feel comfortable and your better half does too, you can post a picture of him in your blog ( but if not a description will do). May it be a baby picture anything that you like with the following:

1. First name: if he doesn’t like his name plastered all over the internet, a pet name will do.
2. How and where did you meet?
3. Characteristics
4. Your plans 20 to 30 years from now.

My husband

  1. I’ve referred to him a few times in this blog — Jack. I call him “honey” most of the time, though when Mary is around, I have to say “Big Honey” as Mary is also my honey (though with her, I can’t say “Little Honey” as she is not Little anymore…)
  2. We met in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada when I was still being Canadian. He was in town for business and we both signed up for “Vancouver by Night” — where singles are taken around to various Vancouver venues every Thursday for 6 weeks. We were “friends” for a while, then best friends, then….
  3. Malambing. One of the few Tagalog words he knows. Loosely translated, he is sweet. Great cook. He usually does the holiday meals— Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day, my birthday. He does most of the laundry while I do most of the kitchen clean-up. One thing he’s never done is change a diaper. He does most of the “homework” with Mary— working on a whiteboard with her, teaching her letters, doing flashcards, working on puzzles, playing Scrabble Junior. He makes it a point to tell me and Mary how much he loves us and appreciates us everyday. From the start, he had made me feel beautiful and he continues to let me know it.
  4. We see us doing a lot of travelling, staying a month or so at different parts of the world, maybe, experiencing Christmas in London, one year then Manila, the next, etc. Though, we aim to have this lifestyle sooner that 20 years from now. 20 to 30 years from now? Checking out Mary’s boyfriends as she begins dating, maybe? :)

Why the title “Two Things”?  Well, he is my better half and I’m the other half - Two halves? Two things? I know, it’s reaching but I wanted the continuity of the countdown on my meme series.
