Manicure, pedicure & massage

For me, on me.. Hell yeah!

Truly metrosexual apparently, but you have no idea about the pleasure and the amazing work done by the 2 Vietnamese ladies in this small shop in Houston that Phil remembered by a previous visit!

Feet and hands nails got a treatement I had never imagined possible.. sometimes a little painful but the result was amazing! Especially appreciated for my toes, where I have had a few problems.. a pity now to practice

Just to make the day perfect (and special) we went shopping and my two colleagues helped me a lot to improve my clothing. I wanted to buy my first dress suit, ending up buying a few other shirt, jacket, accessories

And I enjoyed both buying and wearing it!!!

Correction by a good friend about my little mixed up on terms, or better on one of the finer differences between English and Norwegian:

• a “dress” is a long garment which is mostly worn by women

• a “suit” is the kind of clothing in which you have been depicted in the blog (complete with striped tie and blu shirt) – very elegant, but definitely not a dress to non-Norwegians

Happy Chinese New Year: year of the ox!!

Happy New Year of Ox,
by Shadows Oliv.

Another Chinese year has passed: last year, I celebrated it with my lovely ex and her friends and the year before I was in Wenzhou, China, with my penfriend 婷婷..

This year, totally different, I am in Houston, USA!! First time in USA for me, here with my boss and a colleague for an actual business trip..

Anyway, congratulations to all Chinese friends, ex, and in general friends everywhere!!!

Happy 牛 Year!,

Sara & Mathias: congratulations!!!!

The big day has arrived and passed: one very good friend, Mathias, said the “I do” that means for the woman, Sara, that means!

Congratulations my dear friends!!!

Cut from a lovely past

cut from a lovely past..

..after my lovely baby angel left me, it was the only way for starting this new, unwanted life..
by ..AikiDude..

I realized how empty I will feel for some time right after tonight Aikido practice: earlier I had the feeling of happiness after training to go home, chat or meet her..

Today, first practice of 2009, I felt in totality the void created by her absence. It will take time to refill it..

再见 傻旭…

I want a girl!!!

I want a girl that can talk for hours of her things, not noticing that she lost me in the first ten minutes, but she can stay assured that I will follow as best I can and answer here and there and comment properly.. I love to listen to my girl talking, no matter what..

I want a girl that can listen to me at least 10 minutes, pretend to be interested, ask me with some feelings how my day was and caring for no more than 10 minutes about my talk.. I am a great listener, but I like to talk also a bit and see some interest in my girl eyes..

I want a girl that show some interest in what I do or love, before I met her: she might hate it or not approve it, but a few things in my life are extremely important, I can, with time, learn to dedicate less time to them but I do not want that she hates them.. more we can share more we will make strong our relationship.. we will both make compromises..
