My Tackey, My Sadame...

**Update on my daughter...and Takki Nissin Spa! CM offshots...**

I'm at the university library typing this entry (lol) this morning (Sat., May 31st) with my daughter as my hubby is still at home sleeping. He went to bed real late last nite, around 4am in the morning, watching some of his Tokusatsu Sentai dvds n'stuff. *dame dame!* -_- No wonder he always has a hard time getting up in the mornings on weekends. *sigh* He still seems to sleep like a college student. lolol (just kidding; no offense to college students either)

It's just that, last night...I think after talking to his parents over the phone, while I was playing with one of my daugthers' Hello Kitty computer games, I wondered why it was so quiet in the living room. I mean, my daughter was watching her normal videos and stuff but...my hubby seemed rather 'quiet' after his conversation with them. I came to check on him and he was sitting in the kitchen, looking 'pissed' for some reason. (and slightly falling asleep too) When I awoke him a little bit, I asked what had happened. He told me something about his mother getting mad at him for not responding to one of his relatives to thank them in making our daughter a blanket.

Now, I do remember someone giving her a blanket but, I totally left it up to my hubby to respond back to his own relatives and friends. (he knows that; we're always like this) Whenever his friends or relatives (or neighbors) give him something from his side of the family, he's the one to give them thank you notes and such. If it's my side of the family that gives us or my daughter something (i.e. a gift, etc.), I'm the one to respond.

So, after talking to him as to 'why' his mother got mad at him, and after him telling me his side of the story as to why he might've forgotten, I have to agree with my hubby this time around. (of coz, it should always be this way, no matter what anyway) One thing I've learning in marriage and one of the key elements in sticking together for a very long time, is to always back up your loved one no matter what. Stand by them through whatever situation it may be, even if you feel or think your parents may be right. Because frankly, in a marriage that works, it's part of your duty as a loving husband or wife to try to work things out with one another and sticking by them, thick n'thin no matter what the situation or challenge may be. (whether past or future) And both he and I have learned to 'back each other up' in anything. We're both very loving toward one another, we both took that 'vow' we made on our wedding day seriously, and we also think of each other as best friends too. We both respect one another to the point of sticking with each other on things, together...working things out, together. And, we're a TEAM. ^_^ (and if our parents don't like it, TUFF lolol) Too bad. :P Well, at least my parents happen to agree with us. :P

Oh god...sorry to 'bore' you guys to death with my going 'on and on and on' about my personal stuff. lolol But, hey. That's what part of my blog is here too...it's not only just about Takki or T&T stuff. But, also stuff on what happens with me. ^_^

So, anyway...in the end, he's told me he can't figure out why she got all mad at him for not even responding to any of their emails at work, not being able to call them, or anything. He's told them that over last weekend, we were swamped with going to 2 children's bday parties, back-to-back. He's been really hectic at work, very busy with meetings and such. He's also said he hardly ever gets the chance to check his emails anymore from work either. He's been so busy that by the time he comes home, he's so tired and goes right to bed after eating dinner. (no joke) The poor thing. He's been so stressed from all the stress at work. Well, not much stress but, just sooo busy with working on projects and meetings.

And she had to nerve to still think he should've called or responded with an email somehow instead of making them worry a little. Goodgrief! -_- Sorry 'mother-in-law' but...HEY. TOO BAD. My hubby's been tired, stressed, and busy with stuff from work (and he's entitled to feel that too!) and if she's upset at her son for not thanking a freakin' relative on a gift we received from them that could've easlily 'slippped by him by accident' (and the gift was given hella long time ago too) and she can't or won't accept him for reacting that way, then well TUFF. SORRRRY he 'accidently forgot'...MA'AM. -_-

I was sort-of disappointed in her thinking but...I wasn't mad or upset at her. (don't get me wrong) It's just 'the principle of the thing' after what he told me.

Why she got all upset at him for something so 'minor', I will not understand. (I feel for him) I hope they can just iron out their problem with this situation quickly. But, I know the both of them. Whenever they get upset about something with each other, it takes them days for one of them to appologize. In HIS side of the family, no one wants to take responsiblity in coming out FIRST in appologizing, even if it may be that person's fault. (dame) In my family, if one of us sees we were 'in the wrong' about something, we're always one to take responsibility and appologize. (except my father; old-fashioned thinking in his Japanese, samurai-ways lol) We never let things keep on going like that. 1) It ain't healthy on a person to let things 'fume' (let things stew inside them for long periods of time), and 2) it's just not right. I dunno about you but, to me, if I'm mad at someone, including my hubby, parents, or friends, and even if it wasn't me who caused the problem, I'm one to appologize anyway. Well, only if it was my fault. lol If it wasn't, I'm not appologizing for something I didn't do. But, I dunno about you but, it's just so miserable if you're always 'unhappy' all the time, and not learning to 'forgive' one another quickly.

That's one thing about me...I just have a hard time accepting the fact of other people not learning to forgive a person on anything. But then again, I say to myself, 'Well, if they're gonna be like that, then that person's gonna have to live with that hatred or disliking, or whatever for the rest of their lives. What a way to live like that. Maybe that's why they're unhappy with themselves or with their lives.'

To never forgive people, I will never fathom that. -_- It's just not how I grew up. (because I came from a Christian background growing up, I guess. But, I'm no longer 'christian' anymore. I'm Japanese Jodo buddhist, just like my hubby. ^_^ I went back to my own heritage.) But it's more than that. You may not forgive someone, but you can never forget either. I don't expect anyone to forget. But a person CAN learn to forgive one another in life. Otherwise, the person will just continue to be miserable...I dunno. -_-

And in my mother-in-law's case, she always has a hard time forgiving people in certain situations. Let's just say it takes her awhile before she comes around. (it happened to me too when we were in Disneyland in April; such a small misunderstanding) It seems like everytime they visit us, there's always once (during their entire stay) that she and I will end up getting into an argument or misunderstanding. ALWAYS. -_- I hope just ONE TIME in our lives there will be a time where we won't have that happen between us. *crosses fingers* Just ONCE...that's all I ask. lolol :P

*whew*...sorry I had to 'dump' on you guys like that but...I just HAD to get it out of my system. -_- ahhhhhh...now I feel sooooo much better. lolol :P

Well, to make things BETTER here...and changing the subject...let's talk T&T or Takki stuff. They ALWAYS make me feel 100% better, you know? *melts* And after seeing Miron's email (thank you sis for thinking of me *hugs to her*), she gave me THEE most *DIES/kyaaaaaaaa* email jus now. (this morng) Ohgod...I SWEAR to gawd, Takki's *squeals*... I'd just like to share in 2 pics from the Nissin Spa! CM Jshops. Holycrap. (I've got MORE where these 2 came from; don't hesitate to ask me if you want them, just email me or msg me on the forum about it ^_^)

Enjoy~XDD ^_~ *wink*

**Notice on Jshops: I had to take them off. Sorry, if you want to see the 2 Jshop pics, you'll have to ask me for them since they're not mine. Even though Rasha emailed the entire folder to me, she got the pics from someone else.**

**Daughter sick...T&T Koi Uta-PV rush**

Hey y'all! *grp hug* I'm going on a 'temporary hiatus' right now (just for a few days; hopefully) because my daughter's teacher called me this morning to pick her up from Preschool. Apparently, she's developed a low-grade fever and she vomitted as well. *poor thing* I really hope she'll be alright. Had to run some errands, picking up some Pedialite for her. Didn't have any at home. (bubble gum flavor) They're so lucky, I swear. In children's medications, they're lucky to have 'bubble gum' or 'grape' flavors. Too bad grown-ups don't get that type. lolol

Gonna give her some children's Tylenol too for her fever. Hope it'll go down and it won't go up any higher than it should. If it does, I'll have to call her doc and make an appointment. For now, they always tell us to keep them home for a few days and try doing it on your own. They will not make any appointments unless the fever goes over 100degrees or higher. So...will have to wait n'see first. *fingers crossed it won't get worse* -_-

So...sorry I won't be comin' on msn to chat nor on here for a bit. (just until she goes back to Preschool) Thanks for your understanding. =D

As for the T&T PV-rush...homg...it's like as if things are comin' at me full-throttle and I can't stop it from coming any faster n'faster. lolol So much T&T rush, so little time on my end. ~_~ *sigh*

I've already watched the mezamashi, zoomin' & dwango clips already (when I first got word, thanks for Miron-chan *hugs*), tho hadn't had the chance to make any screencaps for this blog. *sorry* But, you can grab the clips off either sites: (Steph's was where I grabbed the links from) I think Bonnie's site http://www.atfy-takizawa.com has a couple of cute screencaps too from the clips, as well as Mich's site.

But, you HAVE to check out Steph's site to see her screencaps...
DAAANG! (sorry, you can't take them either; only for 'eye-candy') O.O Takki's just *to-die-for*!!!! @_@ kyaaaaaaaa~

And Takki being an 'angel' in this PV... *melts Reiko's heart* He's such a handsome and perfect angel, I SWEAR. I feel for him though not being able to hug the blind girl but...at the same time, I'm sorta-kinda jealous of him kissing her, even though she IS blind in this drama (lucky her). *dame, Takki* j/k j/k j/k lolol Takkiiiii hunnyyyy~ I'M the girl you're kissing. (juuuuuust kiiiiiding) *pfffft*

And I couldn't believe there'll be a 20 min. PV-drama! *kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa* 20 minutes??!?? R u SERIOUS? Because, 20 min. is long (GOOD), and in past PVs or CMs and stuff, they've been only 15 or 30 second clips. (incl. Takki's Nissin pasta CM) I can't wait, I can't wait until it comes out in June!! *jumps for joy* Omgoodness...a T&T drama, together, and it's 20 min. long. FINALLY! THANK YOUUUUU, AVEX!!!!

Anyways, check out Steph's and Mich's sites for the vid clips on the PV and stuff. ^_~
