2nd Blogoversary Giveaway!! - Cadeau

Today is my 2nd Blogoversary!
Time flies so fast, it's been already 2 years since I've started blog in English...
I still remember when I wrote the first post, I just didn't know what to write and even only easy little words didn't come up into my mind in English...
To writing and reading blog(s) is only the way I can learn English, I hope my English is getting a little bit better than 2 years ago!

By the way, here is Blogoversary Giveaway as I mentioned before!

4 Years Anniversary!

One week ago, 17th of June was our 4 years Wedding Anniversary!
My husband is a bit indifference to anniversary or birthday, but I found and red so many posts that western husbands brought bunch of flowers or presents etc... back home for their wives on their anniversary or birthday!
So I told him about how western husbands are thoughtful, as it was my secret intention, lol

 
But on that day, he came back empty-handed against my expectation (lol), actually he didn't come back on that day, he got home after midnight again on that night...
I was quite disappointed, as I was thinking to cerebrate our anniversary together this year, actually we have never had been together on our wedding anniversary somehow yet...

I had been preparing two tickets of Jazz concert, as our anniversary present for him, though...
But last Saturday, when we went to department store, I found stunning figurine!
"Sea Maiden" by NAO, I fell in love with it when I first met!
So I asked him, and so he presented me as a belated anniversary present!!
Here is the photo... Her beauty takes your breath away, don't you think?
I LOVE IT! and am smiling at her since then!
The Jazz concert will be held on this coming Saturday, it's by MJO (Manhattan Jazz Orchestra)!
I'm so excited and very looking forward to going there with him!

My 2nd Anniversary!

It's been 2 years since I've started cross stitch.
So this May is my 2nd anniversary!

I'm so happy that I could find such an enjoyable hobby!
Before then I had no particular hobbies at all...


Thanks to cross stitch and blog,
I could "meet" so many wonderful friends!
And it brighten up my life.

Thank you all of my friends and everyone
who visits and leaves comments to this blog!
I'd appreciate for them a lot.

I will do my best for my 3rd year, too!
