Okay, I need to give a little bit of a back story on this entry before diving into the main focus of it.

Ever since we got married, we have slowly been replacing my hubby’s bachelor furniture. The living room is good enough for now. But it is time to turn to the bedroom as our bed is slowly sinking to the ground. Goryo bought his bedroom set used so he has no idea how old it is when he bought it about a decade ago. The pillows are even older.

There have been plenty of nights where the pillows just could not prevent that morning neck ache. Additionally, my work has become a pain in the neck as getting yelled at by 70 people a day gets stressful after a bit. So today after a particularly stressful day, I wasn’t in a good mood.

Goryo opted to change my mood with a surprise he ever so smoothly slid into our evening. He knew he was getting a bit of a tampo that wasn’t fully his fault so he acted to complete the phrase “Happy Wife, Happy Life.”

How did he do it this time? He did it with a pillow. We went to a company that specializes in the sale of bedroom furniture to shop for the future but he insisted that I get the exact pillow for me. Trust me when I say that I will have a much improved night of sleep now. However, I also have to deal with matters of a bit of guilt.

The sleeping pillow cost $104 or 4264 Php. I have a tough time with this as I know someone very close to my heart is trying to survive on $1 a day. However, the pillow serves as another example of life here and there. To get a quality product here, it costs quite a bit. Will I get over that it cost the equivalent of three months wages in the Philippines for a pillow? Eventually it might.

As my hubby points out, the pillow can help to melt away a bit of the stress that I go through. If I am sharper, more focused and rested, then we can achieve far more income generation to help my pamilya out in the long run.

Since this post is going up rather late at night, I will return you to your regularly scheduled pillow talk.
