夫妻之間。聊一點酒
by blackgoldfish便循線跑去大潤發(我們幾乎不逛大賣場)買了圖片上這隻酒Apogee 2007,
這款酒號稱是大潤發的成名作,也是Rigal酒廠的旗鑑款,
是用法國Cahon產區的特有葡萄品種Malbec所釀製,
一般酒評家認為他的品質甚至超越千元以上的紅酒喲!
大潤發這款酒價格甚至只有香港售價的三分之一!
真是太體貼太激勵了!只要$399!
今天下午我們開瓶飲用這隻酒,果真順口濃郁,
調性是我喜歡的酸度,

中女的死因
by blackgoldfish往日男的事業為重,女的只求好歸宿,今日角色逆轉,感情市場失衡,不在話下。有趣的卻是,人說港女過份實際港男不思進取,天曉得事實可能剛剛相反。中女千錯萬錯錯在一把年紀才去追求不切實際的兩小無猜;中男敗在務實進取只求結果不問過程。中女太遲對愛情希冀,中男一早相信愛情已死。。
monday note
by blackgoldfishevery monday for the last year my love has written me a special note. i laid them all out on the floor tonight and read them all again.
and then i realized... every monday, for the rest of my life, i'm going to wake up excited to read his note. and if we're lucky, and we live for another 50+ years, i'll be the receiver of over two thousand love notes.
not bad huh? :) i think i'll keep him.
love thursday: 24 simple ways to show love in the next 24 hours
by blackgoldfish1. Buy coffee for the guy standing behind you at the coffee shop.
2. Open the door for someone before entering yourself. It doesn't matter if you're a girl and he's a boy, or you're a boy and she's a girl, or you're both boys, or you're both girls. You can do it.
3. Send a quick email to someone you haven't heard from in a while. It can just say, "Hey, I was thinking about you. I hope you're well." Trust me, it will make her day.
4. Send a small, handwritten note -- via regular mail! -- to someone far away. It can just say, "Hey, I was thinking about you. I hope you're well." Trust me, it will make his day.
5. Give someone flowers, just because. They don't have to be expensive. The blossom above was part of a grocery-store bouquet that cost $3.99. The recipient really isn't going to care that it wasn't expensive. I promise.
6. Invite someone to your home. Have something baking in the oven for them when they arrive.
7. Light a candle and think of someone who is going through a rough time. Silently offer them good thoughts/prayers.
8. Pick a charity. Give something.
9. Buy a magazine subscription for a friend out of the blue.
10. Give blood.
11. Prepare someone's tea. In my opinion, it's a wonderful act of love to not just put the hot water and a teabag in front of a friend, but actually prepare and steep the tea for them.
12. Tell a child -- or someone who is struggling with self-esteem -- how great you think they are. And mean it.
13. The next person who serves you a meal at a restaurant, or helps you in a store, or sells you your morning newspaper, look him in the eyes, smile, and say "thank you" with as much sincerity as you can muster.
14. Give someone a heartfelt hug. Just because.
15. Start a hopeful revolution: leave a hope note somewhere. Extra points if you leave it on the windshield of a stranger's car.
16. Offer to cook a meal for someone.
17. Offer to give someone a break -- babysit, hire a maid service for them, or even straighten her house yourself.
18. Clean out your closet. Give the gently-used clothing you no longer want to a shelter.
19. Take a photograph of something beautiful. Send it to someone, with the note: "This reminded me of you."
20. Give someone something of yours -- a book, perhaps, or a small trinket -- with no expectation of return.
21. Blow out a candle. Make a wish on someone else's behalf as you do it.
22. Make a short list of the things you love about someone you love. Leave the list where they can find it.
23. Make a date to have coffee or a glass of wine with an old friend.
24. Say "I love you." Mean it.

by blackgoldfishAccording to my grandmother: "Have your own life. Pursue your dreams and let your husband do the same. Being content with yourself makes you a better wife."
According to my grandfather: "Any disagreement can be settled with two words: 'Yes, dear.' "

by blackgoldfishWe have a thing called "surprise treats." They can be flowers, love notes, our favorite candy, a cool picture, a drawing or a book. It's not usually expensive--just a thoughtful, fun surprise. We wrap them up and hide them, and then call each other and say there's a surprise treat waiting.

by blackgoldfishThe idea is that if there are enough, and they're well hidden, you'll discover new ones (in your pockets, in the luggage) daily throughout your whole trip. It makes being apart a bit more bearable!
my secret to happy relationship - alyson
by blackgoldfishWhat makes my relationship with DLB, my partner-in-crime and soon-to-be husband, so special is our friendship. Whether we're singing songs together on a road trip, reading books on a blanket in the park or tasting the newest beer at the local brew pub, it's important to be able to have fun together....Or you could win his heart by baking a peach pie. That one always works.

by blackgoldfishFight hard, laugh harder. This is what works for us. Mr. French and I are ridiculously passionate (emotional) people. If we keep things inside, our relationship suffers. We argue and fight, but always in a respectful way. More importantly, we laugh. I married Mr. French because he was the first man I ever met that made me laugh until I cried...and he still does. -- Traci French, Bliss
ode to friday
by blackgoldfishi love you because you are the day that simon drives me to work. (and the day he buys me a scone, too. )
i love you because a fine glass of wine or cold beer awaits me after work.
i love you because you are the day that new illustrations are posted here.
i love you because you remind me to turn off my iphone, shut down my laptop, and just be.
