Cooks for Two Kitchens

Seriously ladies, how hard is it to learn how to cook? Just a normal simple food for dinner or lunch rather than starving to death waiting your chef husband to come home and cook for you. Since I worked in a hospitality industry, I know lots of wives who marry chef. A friend of mine who married with chef, update the status saying that she was so happy that his husband had arrived from work so he can cook her dinner, I was like "what?". The poor chef has worked the whole day, probably more than 12 hours a day to cook meals for his costumers and came home knowing he has to cook for his wife too. Someone commented on her status saying "lazy!", and she answered " Haha I'm not..but I dont know how to cook :D".  No offense to her, really she is a good friend and sweet lady. Maybe it is the culture and religion thing that makes me concern so much about how wives should treat their husband. Wives back home were told to always respect our husband, to lov...

Between Chores and Days Off of A Chef

My "weekend" starts tonight, for that today I need maximum preparation such as: do laundry (washing & ironing), clean the house (dusting, vacuuming, moping & taking out trashes), prepare dinner (creating menu, groceries shopping & cooking the meals). So tomorrow hubby can enjoy his day off and get rest without necessarily thinking about the house chores...  Some of the housewife think that husband needs to contribute by helping with the house chores, which I totally agree with only IF there is too much work loads to handle alone. If the wife is only laze around the house watching TV or busy with the internet, there is no reason to ask the husband to help during his day off which supposed to be used for him to get rest. I experienced that before when my baby was still very small, I have to carry her around the house while doing all the chores or I have to play the whole day with her and only had time to do the work when she took a nap during the day. I really e...

Wife Vs. Work

After a month the situation is not ok anymore, a month back he got 2 days off and spent them with me, but now...!!? He is back to his normal behavior by spending most of his time at the kitchen. He supposed to have 2 days off a week but he choose to use only one of them. He loves making himself busy with all the competition and kitchen projects. I am so happy and glad actually that Chef Cameron likes him very much and gives him all the kitchen projects for him to handle, first was the opening of the Cigar Bar, and that was not even finished and now Chef Cameron gave him a Vita Bar project. My husband is so excited on doing the projects and I really want to support him, I really do, but... how about me? I really don't want to be selfish, but I guess I am selfish and I hate myself for it. I guess I still cant stop competing with his job even though I knew I would lose the battle anyway. Yesterday on the phone he said to me about how busy he was that time and he asked me not to ...

Job Hunting & Residence Visa

I got a job in E company few months back and because of that I need to cancel my residence visa which was under my husband's sponsorship. The E company is processing my employment visa now and I have been waiting for it to be finished for almost a month now, but for some reasons I actually feel relieved and wished it would never finish at all, although I might be an alien and be deported for staying without visa, which I don't want to. Have I told you that I am not happy with the job in E company, for the sake of getting a job and earning money that makes me accepted the offer, so for that I still tried to apply somewhere else and finally got the job I was hoping for in M company, the problem is they will only need me on August or September which is still another 3 months. With the feeling of not interested with the job from E company, I wish I did not cancel my residence visa and stayed at home waiting for the employment visa from M company. Last night I tried to bring up ...
