Hi folks, how are ya? Nothing exciting to report from me, today.... These are the christmas trees in front of my apartment's building front door. I've seen worse but I know these are not the best. Very sad looking. But our landlord is very proud of these sad looking trees with sad illumination. I am certain he tried his best. Every time I come home, I feel sad by looking at them. Is it wrong I like this sad feeling around this time of the year? Oddly, these sad trees match our building brilliantly. Anyway, it's 5 degrees celsius = 41 degrees fahrenheit right now. Very chilly. The deal was it would be warmer this winter in Tokyo. It's sad when the weather forecast people can't forecast. But I am not blaming on them.... I had to work today even though it's a national holiday here in Japan. The Emperor's birthday. Will Princess Masako ever recover from a mental illness? It's sad that she is not happy. But she should have known things before she decided to be a member of Royal Family...... I had to work today even. It was already sad enough. But I got a call from a friend of mine to ask me if I was interested in going to Honolulu. You see, many of us get a week long holiday for the year end - new year thing. The new year is bigger than Christmas here. Anyway, I wish I could go to Hawaii but I hit Duty Free Shop
s hard with my credit card earlier this week in Schiphol. I mean
HARD so I don't think it's the best idea to spend some more money right now. oh well. Instead, I think I am going to spend quiet holidays. But I am all behind knitting so it's all good. :-) You have a fantabulous day/night!
The trees may be sad, but your apartment building looks (ahem) fantabulous! Very cool architecture.
Don't be sad, Shigeki, have a big year-end hug from the U.S.!
Kev

Hi Kevin,
Yeah, they are very sad but I like how sad they are. :) They just match the cold concrete walls. :) My apartment building is designed by some architecture I don't even remember. But it's alright as long as it lets me live there. :-) Thanks for the big hug. Big smooch from Tokyo, too! Happy Weekend/Holidays!
Hi Raph,
You, too, have a fantabulous Christmas over there. Make sure you don't get drunk and sleep outside! :-)
Hi Tiptup,
Merry Christmas to you, too!
41 degrees isn't that cold- it is almost January, afterall :-P
I hope you at least got something cool at the duty free shops- a nice jacket? Designer luggage? 1000 cartons of cigarettes? ;)
Ooh, your building looks cool! Show us more pictures!!
I think they're pretty. And you're knitting? Really? Tell me more!
This year, I and my wife has been recognized for ten years, love for three years, seven years of marriage, still maintained a love of novelty, so that my friends envy. MM and many of us are still single after exposure, individuals have to quickly find the urge to marry. Many friends asked how we get married for seven years also so well? Began to summarize some of the marriage bit by bit. Each character of the lovers or couples to get along and not necessarily the same in fact, the following may be suitable, may not be suitable. I wish the whole world lovers can find their own happiness!
marriage must always put the wedding ring on his left ring finger! Wear a wedding ring clearly shows your marital status, but also clearly shows that you refuse the temptation of the foreign firm attitude.
and together they went out to dinner time, liked the food but also embarrassed when too many folders, each folder can be to each other to eat.
often participate in the other half of the friends. This will expand the social circle, can also increase the number of common topics.
to separate out the other half often talks about.
two voices frame, you can exchange the role of repeat content just fight, I guarantee you Xiaopodupi! (Think this is useful, ha ha, next time try)
start from long ago, talk of
beloved woman in the front, the more fun the more cheap!
men have to take a little home work no matter how busy it is the responsibility of the family. Like me, is responsible for washing dishes, laundry, trash, lock the door, take the newspaper that several routine tasks, there are many temporary assignments, temporary up to the task is to find things. Many people hate washing dishes, washing dishes and I particularly like. Looking at a pile of greasy dirty bowl gradually washed great sense of accomplishment.
quietly in her bath when her slippers to help change the direction of the time to brush your teeth to help her a good squeeze toothpaste mouthwash booing, some of the little things in life though usually small, but has been able to make her feel warm and intimate.
chat with friends and colleagues the time (especially the opposite sex), often the other half to talk about a personal experience proved, with peach insulation.
free the other half may wish to participate in the work, such as the Internet to find information to help, tidy things. On the one hand they can cooperate to do something, the other half of the work to understand the other hand, can increase the number of topics.
between husband and wife do not need privacy! Our e-mail, msn, QQ, Ali Want to know the password to each other, and sometimes need help e-mail is easy, cell phones often borrow each other. Tan expansive heart, what can not let each other know?
co-pilot's seat is the wife of the special seat, unless approved by his wife, the other the opposite sex can only sit in the back.
and chat with friends, come to this conclusion: women like to set many rules at home. For example, each towel is responsible for what; bath sure to clean traces of water; must take the toilet after using the toilet lid. . . If not complied with, would say: For example, to work overtime, or temporary about, must be reported to call it.
have interesting conversation or two things, it may be recorded, over time, turn out every six months or a year take a look, revisit the moment of joy, fun.
blocked yesterday when the North-South Elevated listen to the radio, the topic is an apology. One listener wrote to say that every time she was an angry, her husband was not feeling well on the installation, which makes her not a good attack, her husband and then apologize, gas disappeared on. Listening can not help but laugh, and I have been such a thing, quite useful. But no more use.
still complain about how single women do not always find a mature and considerate man, a man is to be tuned. There may be born very thoughtful, very responsible, considerate man, but that is rare, the chances are you find is very, very small. Most men are like me, mind Shaogen Jin's. Rely on his wife when he started from the love of long years of trouble earnestly to teach out of. Therefore, it may relax the vision, find astray start tuning it.
TV movie from childhood was misled, that the actor if the cause of nowhere, the fear of delayed excellent actress and reluctantly break up is very responsible, especially self-sacrifice, especially a cool performance. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! To love is to sacrifice the cause of selfishness. Marriage vows are not clearly written in it? Whether rich or poor, regardless of illness or health, to be together, so it can stand the test of feelings. If you wait until you are really successful career, and that people fancy you love you, still love your wealth and position?
msn sometimes when I do anything to help her, she simply said: XX do you really?
to do a lifestyle of women. Lifestyle is not just love dressing up, incense only one point at home. Is the ability to constantly find new pleasure in life, and sharing and infected people around. Wife has been able to find fun in life, such as new good restaurants, cafes, flower arrangement, decoration, travel, find books, meet new friends. . . Let our lives have been fresh.
out the door to work every day (before I go out than she had, she now went out earlier than I) and his wife to be kissed, this is a good habit.
introduce two can play a little game. As long as a pen, a piece of paper. Guess what the other side and paint what is, but to illustrate the range of guess what is the idiom, names, places, or events, and so on. Do not worry about the level of bad painting, it has nothing to do with the drawing level, but with the ability of the association. Bored (train plane, usually at home also) play, very fun, oh! (This we were not playing, we were drawing level or Mom friends, ha ha ha)
men do not think silence is cool, two people together or to communicate better. Have any idea of what the other opinions, not stuffy in the stomach, say the other side will know they have the chance to improve. A sulking will only increase the gas and see the other one who was unconscious way more gas, not help solve the problem.
love, including marriage, are needed for a long time to run, the small habits, temper, character, way of doing things large, need to slowly adjust to this process is accompanied by numerous run- quarrel and tears, but more to the back of this process, less and less distress, and happiness will be getting stronger. We love three years, married for seven years, the first seven years is considered a run-in period may be, until now, there is occasionally a little friction, but the overall feeling is very happy. So, love and marriage, as long as not a major issue of principle, or minor arguments do not easily break up, must have patience, a good day in the yet to come! Speaking before the fight more time, often late at night, because off the light in the darkness, the spirit will be concentrated in just happened above. But I am a stained pillow people can easily fall asleep, often angry and my wife at the time afterwards, I heard coming from my side to play sweet voice, and what is a angry ah! She will conspire my ear, shouted: snoring, very depressed)
men described a method of apology. I made a mistake before, only repeatedly say My wife is not satisfied. Later she taught me to apologize trilogy: the first step, a statement of fact, today I done wrong; the second step, with justification, why make this mistake; the third step, corrective measures to ensure the future of the measures are no longer committed the same fault. Experiment many times, good results.
recall ever seen a foreign investigation, his wife most want to take her husband's family responsibilities, there is a high ranking is Ultra are the same.
between husband and wife the most precious thing is trust. That trust is the Once the party has been betrayal, even if the other was forgiven, and well, trust has also been greatly reduced. Suspicion, anxiety, paranoia will begin to appear in between the two. To obtain the trust of each other, we should not play so ambiguous, does not play disappear, so that their whereabouts, friends, colleagues openly transparent. (We do have very good)
music point of view might see things, bad things encountered the usual attitude is also put a little. Phone was stolen just wanted to change phone; wallet was stolen wanted to ward off bankruptcy; just wanted to be a cold two days of rest; encounter traffic jams just to think about your heart, listen to radio, Mama DJ; company closed down can finally be dismissed wanted to start a business, doing things they like; wanted to start did not go well before the 30-year life too smooth, a little ups and downs of life was wonderful. The child's well-being, happiness depends on the parents. For children, they have to work hard to create a happy little family!
like the two drove to the excursion, because on the road, in a closed space, they will not be watching TV to do housework, and naturally begin to chat. Topic can not talk? Just on the road, there are many things to see can talk. Novice road driving chaos, strange license plate number, do not see the car, the car in front of banners posted ass, stuffed toys on the back seat, behind the rearview mirror to see the driver of the car digging booger , can talk. You can also turn on the radio, listen to DJ nonsense in there, guess he / she is what constellation of blood.
not very well these days, my wife and I will go to the temple to burn incense. *** I used a child, atheism education, and does not believe that religion and religious books do not touch the touch. In recent years more study, called superstition felt before, you have to criticize something, first thing to understand as to be eligible. Contact with a number of Buddhist books later, that Buddhism is a religion so much as it is a state of mind, a belief, to teach you bearish on the ups and downs in life, when the pious pray, confidence can also help you fulfilled. To get things done, the most important thing is to have confidence in themselves, can persist, is not it?
then introduce a two games to play, what props do not need. In a thought both know the names of the characters, and then ask questions to guess the other side, questions can only be For example, is a man? Is the Chinese people? Is entertainment people? Take turns guessing, and then see who guess the problem with the least. (We always play this, the effect is very good oh)
wife loves red wine. I think a woman can drink wine properly. First, good health, cardiovascular benefit, a little also helps to drink before going to bed to sleep; Second, can beauty; Third, understand a little wine knowledge, a woman will be very impressive; Fourth, the addition of the usual kind of entertainment, the two You can always go clubbing listening to music; five, adding a woman's hearty temperament.
just fall in love before, when his wife every night to listen to my story told to sleep. The start pretty proud of, then my wife told me: I was most impressed by his wife's memory, there is a toilet pipe burst at home at night, I was helpless, hesitant, or shut off the tap when the total gate, wearing pajamas in one hand and a mop wife has been rushed to the toilet . That moment, my mind only one idea: adjust to each other each other, but the values are the same general direction determines whether the marriage can be happy for long. You can accept the moral bottom line? In order to be able to sacrifice the cause of what? What to sacrifice for their families? These need not be formally discussed, along through the daily observation can see that.
If two people are carefully watered the flower of love, it can grow into a towering giant trees, not only for themselves to be happy and well-being, but also to bring happiness to people around the shade.
