Crying Time with Hubby

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

Hubby and I just had a share of our crying time today. It's because of me, we just sat on the table for our dinner before he left for work this afternoon and while having dinner I told him about the news article I read over the internet yesterday which talked about this chinese lady who recued adopted 100 stray dogs aside from the hundreds of dogs that she already had animal shelter. Most of those 100 stray dogs came from the areas where the massive earthquake devastated China's Sichuan province in May 12th . So, I was telling hubby that some of those dogs had crippled legs due to the quake and the chinese lady and her workers just put a cart made of PVC pipes to support the hips of the crippled dogs. I told hubby that I was crying while I was reading that news article and also told him that I felt so sorry for those animals. Then, hubby told me that I have a great love for animals which made me start to cry. I looked at hubby and saw him crying too and we both cried. Every now and then hubby and I have this crying time together when we tell sad stories. Hubby will start to shed tears too when he sees me crying.

Hubby's First Taste of "Balut"

Friday, June 27, 2008

Hubby had his first taste of "balut" when we had our family trip to Las Vegas in June. The first time I went with him in Las Vegas was in March of this year and we went to this Filipino Restaurant. He loves the filipino dishes and wanted to go back again the next time we go there. He told me that the next time we go to the Filipino restaurant he would try eating "balut". he finally had his first taste of 'balut", although he only ate the yellow part of the balut and not the little chick inside but still he was proud of himself that he was able to taste it. I'm proud of him too, at first I was hesitant to let him try taste it coz I was scared his tummy would hurt but it didn't bother him at all. He said it taste pretty weird though.
"Balut" is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell.
