		<description>Funny thing about Moleskine

The pocket moleskine I own was made and marketed for pen and ink and I like it very much, BUT they seem to have altered the way they build notebooks since this purchase. 
Previously they started with the type of paper, for pen and ink the &#039;sketch&#039; weight was used, and then choose what you would like on the page; blank, lined, grid, etc.  Mine is a pocket sketch grid, for example.
Now, according to the moleskine web site, the sketch is only available in blank. 
Wah! I may cry, once again I found something I really like only to have the maker change it.</description>

		<description>Hi again.

Thot I&#039;d share this &#039;her and his diary&#039; that I received from my AB today..

WIFE&#039;S DIARY:
Sunday night - I thought he was acting weird.   
We had made plans to meet at a cafe to have some coffee.  I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment.

Conversation wasn&#039;t flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk, he agreed but his mind was far away.  I asked him what was wrong - he said, &#039;Nothing.&#039;  I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.  He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.

On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving. I can&#039;t explain his behavior; I don&#039;t know why he didn&#039;t say,

&#039;I love u, too.&#039;

When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.  He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed distant
and absent.

Finally I decided to go to bed.  About 10 minutes later he came to bed.

I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep.  I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep.  I don&#039;t know what to do.

I&#039;m almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.

My life is a disaster.


HUSBAND&#039;s DIARY:
Today LIVERPOOL lost again!!!!!</description>

		<description>Mr B,

Nay, it&#039;s not about being right.  And yes, it works both ways.. 

Now, what else can I say.. except repeating that you are a good man. And, oh yes, peace and God bless.</description>

		<description>MB, 

for several years i have been using the word &quot;terlanjur&quot;, and recently i found out that the word in Kamus Dewan is &quot;TElanjur&quot;. and the word is &quot;telantar&quot;  and not  &quot;TERlantar&quot;. luckily i didnt complain to majlis peperiksaan for my credit six, else a recheck would grant me a pass seven maybe.

have you heard of this? :
this happened in a school in kelantan.. a boy came late to school. the teacher asked &quot;what is your problem?&quot;. the boy answered &quot;ma-sok-loh&quot;. the teacher asked again &quot;what is your problem&quot; and the boy replied &quot;ma-sok-loh&quot;. and again and again and again.

the boy was trying to say he lost his socks &quot;my socks lost&quot;. is that a &quot;permasalahan&quot; or &quot;masalah&quot;?</description>

		<description>Mat B, here&#039;s a story for you to mull over.

Once upon a time, a man met and married a woman. Hardly three months into the marriage, the man forgot to log off his PC (it was opened at the mail page) and his wife saw a strange &#039;selamat berkenalan&#039; message from an unknown woman (unknown to her, that is). 

She confronted him for an explanation.  She was livid. &quot;You have difficulties leaving your old single life behind? You are now someone&#039;s husband and you still want to &#039;berkenalan&#039; with women you met on the internet? You still keep your online dating account? WTFH did you marry me for?&quot; 

So the man and the woman came to an understanding; if ever he screws up, she will walk out. She meant every word she said. He said it was a mistake and that it would not happen again. She was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, at that juncture.

She believed him then and still believes him now. She has not asked any question since. The last time I poked my head into their life, they seem quite happy together... :)



&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Puteri Kamliah

A wonderful story. It started off a little scary but turned out well, eh?

I am getting more and more convinced that when fewer questions are asked, the domestic happiness factor will acquire a tendency to skyrockets through the roof.

And so as to prevent even more ladies from needlessly get their knickers into the proverbial twist - due to maybe denial or perhaps guilt - I&#039;ll qualify my statement: the principle works both ways. The message got a little skewed because historically, women tend to ask a lot more questions than men - a hell of a lot more :-) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Salam AbgB,

hmm....I&#039;ve learnt a lot today.  

im naturally someone who likes to ask.  its not abt trust.  kinda built-in.  he knows i love to ask and he got used to it over the years (its been 16yrs and still going strong).
 
but of course lah, level of tolerance lessen as you age, so now he&#039;ll say &quot;you wanna go ask yourself, dear?&quot; , then i stop. 

hehe...not good, rite.



&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;anakumie

16 years! Well done, anakumie!

Lets look at it this way. Even your most favourite song in the whole wide world will start to wear thin if you hear it often enough. Just one more time over the threshold and you&#039;re gonna begin to hate the song.

You&#039;re smart enough to figure out where your hubby&#039;s threshold is. You&#039;re gonna be fine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

DEFINATELY...couldn&#039;t have been a coincidence ;)

ps: i wonder how it would glide over my moleskine?



&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;j. amyemeelea

I&#039;m afraid moleskines do not take fountain pens well - with the exception of maybe the Cahier line of moleskine notebooks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>I don&#039;t ask. Really I don&#039;t. I just keep very quiet and very still for the next ten minutes and then he comes blabbering for 10 min explaining everything nervously ending with &#039;Can you stop being so quiet now? I told you everything already!&#039;

Reverse psychology is my forte, mister :)
Hehe



&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;percicilan

hahaha!

You are another sly one! See? Not asking questions IS really better for all concerned. This is my contention all along: not woman-bashing (as perceived by those who patently got their knickers in a twist over this).

Keep well, ma&#039;am
