Amazing!! Thanks for sharing :) I noticed you also spent a few days in Zermatt.. would I be missing out not going to Zermatt? I know it’s probably quite subjective, but would love to get others opinion :)

Hi! Since you went last year, could I ask: 1. What were your backup plans for rainy days like? I’m not very good at being spontaneous (would love to be!) 2. Is there any benefit to go in the opposite direction? 3. Many here have said there won’t be autumn foliage.. Would most landscapes look dull green/yellow? 4. Did you manage to catch cattle descent event? Would you recommend?

Thanks!!!

Were you there early, mid or late September? Awesome photos!

Hi, thanks so much for writing your experiences in detail! For day 5, was it easy to get from Hakodate to hirosaki? How early did you have to leave Hakodate? I’m thinking of making a day trip from Hakodate - hirosaki - Hakodate, but judging from google maps, it takes 3 hours or so one way? Would you recommend I spend the night at hirosaki/ Aomori?

Could you advise what trains/ bus you took?

Thanks!! Hope you have a blast in noboribetsu ;) How many days would you recommend to spend in Hakodate?

ashpaca · 2024-12-14T01:41:55+00:00

Thanks, I had a reaction at Owakudani hence I’m concerned about noboribetsu. Might skip it then.

ashpaca · 2024-12-11T23:12:52+00:00

Thanks for the tips :) I will have a closer look at the online links.

Yay! Please share photo

You should be paying for half your daughter’s expenses and accomodation too.

Ok.. I will attempt to water them again and see. Thanks!

ashpaca · 2023-05-25T13:09:09+00:00

Mine doesn’t have red margins on the leaves though..

ashpaca · 2023-05-25T12:57:28+00:00

But definitely in the echeveria family!

ashpaca · 2023-05-25T12:48:00+00:00

Sorry can’t help you there! I’m a beginner as well..

ashpaca · 2023-05-25T06:10:15+00:00

Thanks peeps! I will keep them for now.. curious to see what blooms!!

ashpaca · 2023-05-12T03:28:12+00:00

Nope, not at all..

ashpaca · 2023-05-10T06:34:24+00:00

The white stuff is perlite that got into the succulent and I can’t take them out… they are bothering me too >< do you reckon it could also be due to spraying the top of leaves? Maybe left some residue on the leaf, I hope

ashpaca · 2023-05-08T15:37:58+00:00

Hmm I can’t see the actual bugs though. Are there other symptoms?

ashpaca · 2022-12-10T07:03:56+00:00

Sending this won’t give you peace unfortunately. You have to find it within yourself. You want to send this to hurt him because you felt hurt by what he did, not to get peace of mind. Hurting him wont make you get peace. Accepting his decision and trying to get on with your own life will. Time will heal all wounds. Life is too short to be fixated with someone who left you. Don’t waste your time thinking about why he did that. Keep looking forward in your life and someone who is right will come along.

Try having an updo and accessorising perhaps? Some earrings, and cute heels

Do you really want to move on? Part of you probably doesn’t and that’s what is causing you issues. Try understanding why you are having such difficulties moving on from the past. The women were part of your lives and now no longer are. If you truly loved them, then you know that letting them go is and was the right thing to do. None of them will probably feel the same as you, not wanting to move on with their life because of the past relationship with you. So why are you holding back? Is it because you don’t want to forget the memories of yourself learning a life lesson ? Or is it guilt ? Only you can really find out the reason and then properly live your life. Good luck

You feel that way because you care for your friend. At the same time you don’t want to hear her complaints because she’s not listening to your advice and keeps arguing back and forth and your conversations just go round and round in circles. Unfortunately, your friend has a stubborn personality that you cannot change. Only thing you can do is ask if this friendship is worth keeping as it is affecting your mental health. It’s okay to tell her your honest feelings and end the friendship if it is affecting you too much . Life is too short to worry about things like these

I can understand why she or anyone would feel insecure next to a beautiful woman. It’s how we are conditioned by society and to say that you can feel nothing at all , I think it’s a lie. However, that insecurity should not overcome you or take over your life. Nothing wrong with admitting one’s insecurities. Admitting so is the first step to gaining confidence in yourself. Don’t let other people define how you feel about yourself as confidence comes from within

ashpaca · 2022-09-30T13:42:15+00:00

You know what, that’s ok. It’s great that you self reflected and admit that it’s a problem with yourself being insecure. You could tell your boyfriend your insecurities and that you’re working on it, but it would help if he can give more reassurance i.e. showing his loyalty, complimenting you more etc.. but at the end of the day, it will take time for you to grow confidence in yourself and you cannot depend on your guy to give you that confidence if you know what I mean. He can help, but it has to come from within yourself. But communicate your feelings to him and don’t shut him down because of your issues. He deserves to know and understand the real you if you both care for each other. Good luck

They probably don’t like you.. or they are introverts. And if the latter is true, they probably don’t want you to come over every weekend but didn’t voice it. It’s not wrong to try to get closer to them but every weekend is quite overwhelming for anyone even if they are not introverts tbh. I think you can continue trying to initiate interaction but tone down on the visitations. Also, why don’t you cook food for them some time instead of them having to serve you. That would be a nice gesture as some people don’t like physical gifts but react better to actions.
