lazing around in a park reading on where to go nextIt was a wonderful 2 weeks’ break that my wife and I had. It was a trip to Japan and our itinerary covered popular tourist hotspots like Tokyo, Nagano (Matsumoto), Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Hakone and back to Tokyo again.
It was an amazing 2 weeks’ long break and it was in fact the longest vacation we had ever since we got married exactly 2 years ago.
Now, I am totally recharged!!!
I have been asking around from my close group of female friends and most are too busy with their work to commit themselves to take such a long break. Perhaps a 3 to 5 days’ holiday to a nearby country such as Taiwan or Malaysia is more realistic and practical.
The “what if my company needs me” mentality plagued their lives.

from adwriterAs my wife and I were planning our second honeymoon (sort of) to Japan for 2 full weeks, we were recalling on how a getaway plan can go down into pieces so easily.
Barely 2 months ago, we have just bought our new flat which cost us at least US$430,000 and thinking about the amount of loans we have to pay back for the next few decades is really discouraging.
It was one of the biggest purchase we have ever made in our entire life, beside spending another big sum of money on our wedding day.
It was not easy to continue our planning of the oversea trips as both of us felt really low then.
However, being absolutely optimistic that things will turn out well and being a strong believer in having a full experience in our marriage life, I decided to push on our plan.
It was not easy for us but my sense is that if not now, then when?
The right time will never come.

from joaoalmeidaYesterday was one of the most important moments in my life, beside my wedding day. I attended a Dale Carnegie course. It covers on topics such as stress management to conflict resolution. The best thing is the common principles can be applied both in work and home.
On the last day of this Dale Carnegie class, we had to bring along friend. And I brought along my best friend and soul mate – my wife.
In fact, I wanted to write a blog post to thank my wife for being present. I think I should take a break from writing about wedding gowns or wedding hairstyles and I am just thinking it has been quite a while I wrote a love letter for her. This gives me a brigt idea to label this post as “Love Letters for Your Wife”

Hi there, It has been quite a while that I have been married.
A total of 1 year, 6 months and 20 days.
And now my wedding blog is already coming to 3 years old.
As you all know, the birth of my wedding blog blossoms from my love to my wife. I started my wedding blog as a wedding gift to my wife.
Never did I know that this blog has somehow generated enough money to cover my wedding expenses.
Time really flies and the natural stage after a wedding is the birth of the first child.
I have decided to start another project based on the love of my first child.

How intimate is your everday marriage life?
Is it just like the like on your wedding night?
I doubt so.
Many atimes, after the wedding night, the romance and intimacy somehow drop drastically.
I wonder why is it so.
Could it be because the honeymoon period is over.
Or is it that they don’t know how to make their after-wedding nights and days more memorable and romantic.
Somehow, I read before that sex, finance are the biggest hurdles in marriages.
