The simpler, the happier 简单就好

The other night I sufferred from severe insomnia. That's absolutely torturing. For several successive days I couldn't have a good mood. In such low spirits, I even didn't want to work. Life seems so gloomy to me. I thought of many persons, I thought of many things, I thought of too much. A lot of stuff was just squeezed into my mind in a forceful way. I really felt my head was going to explode and I was doomed to collapse, until I read a mail from my friend. The mail doesn't bear any words but a series of pictures. I'd like to share them with you and hope this will do great help to those who were/are haunted with the similar trouble.
Here they are!







PS Thank Jane Woo very much for her keeping sending me so much funny stuff and thus leaving me updated.

Man's way of expressing love 男人的示爱方式

After finishing reading this article, I have quite strong emotional resonance. I don't have time to do translation, so just share it with you in original Chinese.
我告诉你说:“我今天扫楼梯时,差点儿从楼梯上摔下来。”本来我以为你会安慰说:“亲爱的,小心点儿。”但你说:“扫慢点,不就得了。”  
我伤心,我觉得你一点儿不爱我,不在乎我。  
后来,我发现我们的楼梯异常干净,干净的都不用我扫;一个月后我才发现,那是你每天抽出5分钟的结果。  
我告诉你:“我的车子坏了,我走了半个小时才到车站。”本来以为你会关心地说:“你怎么不坐出租车,累不累?”但你说:“反正很近,你也随便减肥。”  
我生气,觉得你不爱我,不关心我。  
第二天,我发现你留在桌上的你的车钥匙,以及为我准备的丰富的早点。  
我告诉你说:“我想去北海道,荷兰等地,欣赏那一大片壮观地花海。”本来以为你会关心地说:“你想去哪,我们来计划。”即使敷衍几句也好,但你说:“真无聊,花大把的银子去那种无聊的地方。”  
我生气,觉得你不爱我,,不懂我。  
后来,我发现家里的旅游杂志,不管是国内还是国外的报道,只要有赏花介绍的那一页,页角就有折痕,里面就有你的笔记记录。  
我告诉你说:“我跟朋友出去,晚上会晚点回来。”本来以为你会关心地说:“跟谁出去,小心点儿,记得拨电话或早点儿回家。”但你说:“随便你,你高兴就好。”  
我生气了,觉得你不爱我,不关心我。后来,我负气拖到深夜3点多回家,我看到你坐在沙发上的睡容。  
我告诉你:“我的大姨妈来了,肚子好痛。”本来以为你会安慰我说:“忍一忍,一天就过去了。”但你说:“女人真麻烦,受不了。”  
我伤心了,觉得你不爱我,不疼我。  
后来,家里的零食柜里多了好多巧克力及红豆,是你买的,但你一直没吃。直到一个月过去了。你在我月事的前后一星期,天天煮着红豆汤。  
我告诉你说:“我真高兴嫁了你,你是最好的老公。”本来以为你会开心地回答我说:“我也是这么觉得,你是最好地老婆。”但你说:“嫁了都嫁了,不然,你还想怎样?”  
我生气,觉得你不爱我,不懂我。  
后来,我无意中发现你在睡前用卫生纸擦拭床头那张40英寸地结婚照,然后望着照片傻笑好久。我想我终于懂了,在你不在乎地外表下,有颗不善用言词表达的心,一颗最爱我的心。原来你是爱我的。只不过不说。这是你爱的方式,跟大家不同。
男人对爱的表达方式是和女人不一样的
男人爱你的时候是不善于用语言表达他对你的爱的
男人是会用行动来表达对你的爱
男人就是男人
Man is man.
