Cultural Differences above love

I'm having really tough period with Kenjiro.
I really like him and respect his personality and his way of thinking very much.
However, he's missing one fundamental emotional side; the expression of LOVE.

I understand that Japanese culure is not the same as Argentinean.
Hiding emotion and consider other ppl's emotion without saying anything is the most wonderful thing.
But I don't know why did we so shy to express emotion. Why don't we show up our emotion to the ppl that we love?
I can't see any disadvantage for expressing love but it always makes ppl happy and smile

I've been telling Kenjiro that his expression for love is not enough for me.
We can't see very often and during weekdays, we don't have much contact.
I'm controling myself not to call or text him so that I will not disturb his work.
If I have some good or sad news, I always keep them in my mind and tell him later even though my true feeling is dying for telling him as soon as possible.

On the contrary, he doesn't like to tell everything on the phone or texts.
He always wants to talk face to face.
And he says that he prefers to talk when we meet up, he doesn't like to talk on the phone.
Well, even when we are meeting, he wouldn't mention that he loves me but I can feel it..somehow (is this only my imagination???)

For me, not contacting me very often signify lack of his love to me.

He says that it's the cultural differences between us.
I think I'm always expeting him too much since he's almost the perfect one.
But the lack of love expression is fatal to me.
I can't live whole my life thinking that 'Oh, I don't know if he loves me or not...'

That's terrible.

He said that he's gonna try to change his way of expression.
Today, he called me and had a few minuites chat but it was so funny.
Actually, there is nothing to talk about=) since we are not get used to talk all the time.
Maybe this is not the way we are but at lease we can try.

Well, I'm so happy that he's trying to change his habit into mine.
At the same time, I have to find the way to get used to Japanese love expression.
My family is definitely not originally from Japan! Their expression of love is really strong and that's why I'm now struggling with my gap b/w my boyfriend.

Hope we can find our point of mixed culture.

Back from Shanghai

Im back in Japan!

I was in Shanghai last week. I had business seminar in Shanghai and it was a really good seminar!
It delivered me the passion for my work!!!

Well, Shanghai itself, I couldn't enjoy very much since I was packed in the hotel.
At night we went out for dinner but since we are not familiar with Shanghai, we couldn't find nice restaurants.
So basically, I liked food in HK much more than Shangai.

The atmospghere of Shanghai wasn't the same that I imagined.
There ware tons of buildings, very clouded weather but at the same time, there were a lot of old houses.
It was really strange to see all contrasts between new and old.
Old area will be destroyed and rebuild into new buildings very soon but I think it is really a loss.
All the old houses are very China and new buildings, I can see everywhere like Tokyo, Melborn, Buenos Aires... everywhere!

Keeping old and mix into a new culture is really difficult but if it works well, it deliver a great impression.
I would like to apply it to my work and my life=)
Keeping good points of both and create a new culture.

HAPPY!!!!!

YEY!!!!!
MY BOYFRIEND FINNALY GAVE ME A RING!!!!!!

I'm so happy! hahaha!

So many happy things happened today.

1st
On the way to see Kenjiro, I've met my old friend on the train.
He is my friend from York and I haven't kept in touch with him for 3 yrs after I came back from York.
But suddenly on the same train, at the same time, in the same coach, I met him!
I couldn't believe my eyes.
We talked a bit but I was so excited from the morning!

2nd
After I met up with Kenjiro, I've met my waterskiing team member on the train!
AGAIN;
on the same train, at the same time, in the same coach, I met him!
EVEN MORE;
he is working at the same firm as Kenjiro.

SO FAR, I've had 2 unpredictable exciting accidents.

3rd
He gave me the Tiffany's ring for my birthday!
I was thinking that he was almost forgot about my birthday as he didn't mention about it since my birthday gone.
But he was not.
And,,,, he gave me a ring!!!
I'm soooooooo happy!
Everytime I wear the ring, I always remember one of the happiest day=)

Accessories have magic.
Everytime I wear them, I always remember my memory.
love, happy, energy, sad, setsunasa...etc

I would like to make my products as accessories.
Likewise...
If a girl feeling sad; she take shower with my shampoo, she fills with happiness with the smell of the shampoo.

mmmm... I have to come up with a good story to encourage that kind of mind...

Well, anyways, today I am so HAPPY!!!

THANK YOU!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody!

I wish you all have a great 2007 year!!!

This beggining of the year was soooooo mess!!!
At the first time, I spent my New Year's day with my friends.
I was happy
We went out for clubbing and had drink.

Normally, I believe that Im so strong for alcohol...
But this time, I lost my memorie for the first time of my life...
Next day when I woke up, I was in my bed... with plastic bag for my pute!
( I didn't do it though...)

Everything that  I can remember is... dancing woth my friends.
After that, ppl told me that I was so drunk and fell over many times and at last, I pute to my friend's shirt!
NIGHTMARE!!!!!! from the beggining of the year!

I can't believe what I've done cuz I can't remember anything!!!
There are many stories according to this accident.
But I'm so embarrassed to write about it on this public web site.
(I was so knocked out so that my friend called my parents!)

So this year's resolution;
*drink alcohol as normal girls do
