No no no, you've got it all wrong. If you feel this way then you obviously haven't been to any proper Christmas parties in London! That's what I've been doing for the last 3 years and I live in Bath. It only comes once a year, get together with your family and have some Christmas party fun Roman!

Roman,
Hi, It's N in old capital in JP, donno whether u remember me or not, we talked on the phone a couple of times 3 years ago after you had broken up w/ ur ex.

Hi, Lauren. Thanks for your advice. Actually, I enjoyed Christmas my way. It was not bad to spend the special day as I liked. Hopefully, I'll be in London next Christmas. more…

Hi, Anna! One of my friends in London sent me a photo of the street in London, which made me miss the fantastic city a lot. Probably I'll visit London this winter...I can't help thinking about it. more…

The shops in central London are always lovely at Christmas......Harrods..Selfridges..Fortnum and Mason..Liberty..etc. The atmosphere is quite exciting also.....but it gets soooooo busy. It is cold and wet and windy here at present with scattered snow around the country.

You enjoy your Christmas and be kind to yourself.

Be more…

Hi, Anna. Your advice must be right...well, I'll be working as a party waitress this Christmas. BTW, I gave up going to London this winter, which makes me miss the city a lot. Are there lots of illuminations on the street? As I just know the city in summer, I really want to know how it is in winter. more…

Yes, I loved the karaoke in Shinjuku, and the power of music is wonderful...it was amazing for me to sing Oasis in Tokyo!!
I like the Japanese way, and also the english way is nice too.
Have a good week!

I'm happy to know that an English can enjoy karaoke just as a Japanese do. In a karaoke room, you can feel as if the people in the room were sharing the same feeling...in my opinion, European people dance more and better than Japanese people do, and dancing together help people to be feel relaxed and connected. Anyway, the power of music is just gr more…

Yes!
The idea of karaoke in England seems very different to Japan's karaoke box.
I enjoyed karaoke in Shunjuku last year and loved it, despite my poor singing, it relaxed me, and brought all of us friends together...much healthier. It was a stress-relief for me, certainly.

Your situation seems to be very similar to that of mine two years ago. I was scared of being without him, and I even thought that I would die without him, seriously...

And I was actually about to die when we broke up, but after struggling for more than a year, I'm alive, happily. The difference between you and me is that you already re more…

God this blog is so me. Ive been with my about to be (his terms not mine) ex for two years . I used to be independant, emotionally very strong, alive, happy, fun loving. But he has taken this from me.
I fell for him very hard and fast. I am so madly in love with him that i have let him be the controller in the relationship. I have always let more…

ohayou~~
Yes, I used to be in Japan, and that was VERY special to me, ...still is!
You know my blog? thank you...do visit again, anytime.
I'm glad that London is a special time for you...treasure and enjoy it. Many things become special in time, and realising at the time, (as you have), is even more special.
Have a nice week more…

I know your blog! You used to be in Japan, right? The timing...I also think it is important, since some special things in my life happened in the right timing. Living in London was one of the special things which changed my life recently. more…

yes, everything should happen in it's natural, right time, if we seek someting special, at least I believe so.
but the timing is everything!

by Roman_EC [Member]

I've seen some perfumes which were supposed to have pheromones, and I was sceptical about the effect. But some people must have a pheromone...I just can't explain what happened to me that day, without the effect of it.

Do you want to be trapped by his magical power?:) Acaually, the friend of mine there was about to let me know his num more…

We all have pheromones and tend to 'click' with different people. You can even supposedly buy the stuff bottled now but that is cheating somewhat and I am not sure if it works.

This guy must certainly have sex appeal !! lol .....what did you say his telephone number was ?? more…

by Roman_EC [Member]

I finally replied to him...seems you're right. I realised that I have a special feeling for him because I was nervous and thought a lot about what to write about. It never happens when I write to other "friends".

One of the reasons why I've got lots of male friends is that my ex-fiance used to let me see them, telling me not to stick t more…

and all the while he's keeping you 'dangling'...

You are doing the right thing by getting on with your life by seeing different people and trying different things....try not to allow this to be a priority so that you protect your feelings either way :)

I must say , your culture is fascinating and soooo different ! more…

by Roman_EC [Member]

I haven't replied to him yet, actually. I'm not sure if I want to or not. I have to admit that I expected his reply when I mailed him, but at the time, I was sure that he wanted to finish our relationship. I thought I could accept it, and I mailed him since I didn't want to end it badly...but he says he didn't intend to end it, so I'm confused. more…

The e-mails will of course keep the emotional bond (at least from your perspective) going. It is up to you to decide whether this is a help or a hinderance to your life now and in the future. I have held on too long to this situation in the past.
When you contacted him to say "Goodbye", perhaps unconciously you were longing for him to say " more…

Thinking about one year ago, I recovered miraculously. I wrote a suicide note several times at the time! I don't want to even remember it. You must be right, I also think I can't forget HIM completely, but I hope he will become just a memory. more…

They say the sign of good mental health is when you can spend time alone and feel content to do so. You must eat regularly and healthily in order to keep your energy levels up and your state of mind positive : ) more…
