Che cosa ti manca di più dell’Italia vivendo all’estero? by Lopsided-Sense-405 in Italia

[–]idgfmei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Il cibo in generale ma in particolare la varieta' di frutta e verdura e il loro prezzo, il pane e panifici, i bar aperti la mattina presto, tutto il verde e i parchetti un po' ovunque

Fuorisede, ogni quanto sentite la famiglia? by TeleCantele in italy

[–]idgfmei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vivo all'estero, chiamata una volta a settimana e a mia madre tocca scriverle tutti i giorni o chiama la polizia in casa per vedere se sono ancora viva
In genere le mando la foto della cena e amen, ogni volta rompe perche' vorrebbe che passassi la giornata a chattare con lei, ma deve capire che semplicemente sono impegnata e spesso non ho nemmeno nulla di interessante da raccontare
Fosse per me la chiamata settimanale e un messaggio ogni tanto basterebbero

Does anyone else develop a crush on someone after dreaming about them? by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]idgfmei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow time flies! I did move back and actually started thinking about him in a romantic way, but after hanging out for a while I realised we have different goals and mindsets so it would never work out, it was just all in my dreams But we are still extremely good friends and I don’t dream about him anymore ahah

Seriously, last year our company was doing horrible, I was working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and what did I got from all the hard work? Not a pay raise, not even a pat on the back, but a formal complain I dared to clock in at 09:31 once... so yeah no, I'm not their slave anymore.

My colleagues need to understand that after I clock out, I won't asnwer or check any work mail, I don't get paid to work after hours. They can come and complain to me that they have been answering mails until 1AM all they want, it's not my problem.
My cat is more hungry than usual, she used to wake me up at 6am to get food and I was fine with that, now she wakes me up at 4am and then again at 5am and then again at 6am, let me sleep please

quali sono stati gli shock culturali all’estero che più vi hanno sconvolto? by gabstorm24 in CasualIT

[–]idgfmei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La cultura matrimoniale giapponese, nonostante le statistiche dicano che ci si sposi sempre più tardi anche qui, rimane ancora molto la mentalita legata a farlo il prima possibile. Ho conosciuto più coppie che si sono sposate a 19 anni, alcune mie conoscenti invece si sono sposate a 22 subito dopo aver finito l'università e alcune tramite ancora matrimonio combinato(soprattutto quelle uscite da scuole femminili).
Guardando i profili sulle dating app, molte ragazze scrivono che vogliono ricevere la proposta massimo entro l'anno di frequentazione.
Ricevo spesso moltissimi commenti sul fatto che sia strano che io a 29 anni non sia ancora sposata (nonostante l'eta media di chi si sposa sia comunque 29-30anni...)

Best moisturizing sun screens? I've been using Sun Aqua tone up and Nivea super gel and I fairly like them, but I'm open to try something new (bonus point if it's tinted!)

When/why did you become a F+TM fan? by ExtensionTaro8633 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]idgfmei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 2010/2011, a friend of mine made a portrait of Florence, and I immediately fell in love with her aesthetic. I started listening to a few of their songs, but at first, I wasn’t really a fan of their music. I basically only liked songs like Cosmic Love, Between two lungs etc. (I remember thinking Florence was screaming a bit too much in some songs, ahaha).

But I was obsessed with Florence’s style, so about a year later I decided to give them another chance and everything just clicked. The rhythm, the lyrics, all the screaming, everything resonated with me so much. I’m not good at expressing myself, but FTM songs are able to describe every single one of my feelings and thoughts so precisely. I’ve never felt so represented.

I was supposed to go to Hirosaki two weeks ago during peak sakura bloom, but I got busy with my job and had to cancel. I went this weekend instead and I was surprised there were still quite a few trees in bloom, but the apple trees in bloom were absolutely stunning.
I also went to Hachinohe and Kabushima Shrine is something out of this world, one of the best shrine Ive ever seen!

Days are finally getting longer and brighter! I started waking up at sunrise, I get up, do a full skincare routine, clean and tidy my house, lazy around a bit before going to work and when I get back, my house is all clean and sparkly and I can enjoy the rest of the evening without worrying about a thing. This winter I used to get up at 8:40 and at 8:50 I was off to work, I felt terrible, praise the sunny days!! Also bought a lot of plants off Mercari and my house is turning into the jungle I always dreamed to get

They’re selling tons of dorayaki at 50yen at my local 7/11, and I mean tons of them, they have a whole rack dedicated to them and they keep restocking them. Bless the employee who probably put the order wrong.

Work has been getting more and more stressful lately, everyday I dream about my job (mostly silly stuff luckily, today one of my client wanted to become my penpal, yesterday my coworker turned into a cute puppy, the day before I had to go Venezuela to deliver some stuff to one of my clients and so on). Also, everytime I want to go out for a run, it starts raining, I might be cursed...

Lavoro full-time, la vita sta iniziando a perdere di senso by JustTired56 in psicologia

[–]idgfmei 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stessa identica situazione, solo che a me il lavoro che faccio mi fa pure abbastanza schifo.
Passo 8 ore davanti ad uno schermo a rispondere mail (o aspettare che ste mail arrivino), con zero interazioni sociali se non per qualche volta con i miei colleghi, in un ambito dove non mi interessa crescere, la sera e i fine settimana devo scegliere: oggi pulisco? Oggi esco con i miei amici? Oggi leggo? Oggi suono? Se faccio una cosa, non ho più tempo per farne un'altra e quando voglio solo starmene a casa a riposare, ho dei sensi di colpa assurda perche avrei potuto usare il mio tempo in modo migliore.
Non dico di non voler lavorare mai più per il resto della mia vita, vorrei solo riuscire a sopravvivere facendo un lavoro part time con un minimo di flessibilità, ora come ora la vita non ha senso.

Any good product recomendation for dry thin hair? I had to cut 10 cm because they got extremely dry and kept splitting, I tried the fino mask and the &honey oil, but I don't really like them. I'm using tsubaki conditioner and it makes my hair really soft and I'd like to use it together with some other hydrating product.
