solingen knives and chocolate from europe

woke up and found a note from post office that some package arrived, so i went to pick them up.
big box of christmas presents from european folks.

lots of chocolates of my favorite brand, 6 solingen kitchen knives, 2 pairs of nice room slippers, cute blanket, kitchen mittens, beautiful book marks and a nice christmas card.
so happy. thank you very much, k, p, a, a, c, a. :))
enjoying the smell of christmas atmosphere with coffee and some chocolate.

went out to buy some potato, onions, and mango.
had some dumplings for late lunch after studied somethings.

eventually grilled lamb again. this tomato sauce that i brought from japan and you can pour onto anything is real useful and nice. plastic bottle and doesn't break.

let's say you have a group of 30 folks(friends) and all are brilliant but there's always one that is kind of a trouble maker. that happens anywhere in this world, right? even in american sitcom like grey's anatomy and things like that. well, this guy in our group is a little bit like that, but i see some changes and positive difference in this guy. he is growing, i realize he is changing, and notice in places in himself that we don't know, in his thoughts, he must be struggling everyday for the past years and was trying so hard. i understand this. and the result finally catching up with his behaviour and actions, i am so proud of him and happy for him. let's have a big hand for this guy. ;)
