How do you say “put a lid on” in Japanese?
I called my girlfriend in my room about planning our first year anniversary.
ME: Can I come over right now?
Her: Sure. We should celebrate our one year anniversary.
Me: What do you want to do to celebrate?
Before she answered, my mom rushed to my room, opened the door, and screamed, “You clogged our toilet again! Why did you leave it like that?”
Me: Mom, I am talking with my girlfriend now.
I’ll fix it later.
My mom: OK.
Make sure you do so.
Me; hello, are you there?
Her: Yes I am here. Are you OK?
Me: I am fine. So what do you want tonight?
Her: Sorry, something came up. I can’t make it today.
Me: What’s wrong? When can we meet up to make up for it?
I shouldn’t have just put the lid down.
After we broke up, she started referring to me as “shithead” around her friends.
After that, I was known as shit head guy.
The husband actively takes care of the kids and shares household tasks with his wife.
イク is short for taking care of kids.
育児 イクジ means to take care of kids.
メン is short for men.
メンズ means men.
Most Japanese stick to the old way of family organization.
This means that the husband put his work first, while the wife stays home to do the housework.
The husband puts their career first, while the wife stays home all day to do the housework.
It means that the husband puts their work life/career first
If the husband works for a Japanese company, employees tend to do everything their boss says.
He doesn’t have enough time to help his wife out.
However more husbands are starting to share the household tasks/the housework with their wives.
What has made them decide to change their ways/thoughts?
They finally figured out their wife is much/way scarier than their boss.
A wife can order her husband to do anything at all: scratch her back up or rub her feet.
So the guy should just do some of the household chores.
He doesn’t have to do all the cooking, he just has to offer help where he can.
夫が積極的に子供の世話や家事を妻と分担すること
イク 子供の世話することの略
育児 子供の世話をすること
メン 男の略

ほとんどの日本人が家族構造の古い概念に執着している。
それは、夫が仕事を優先し、妻は家に一日中いて家事ををします。
もし、夫が日本の会社で働いていたら、上司といつも一緒です。
彼には妻を助ける時間がない。
でも、多くの夫が彼らの妻を助け始めた。
何が起こったの？
彼らは、奥さんが上司よりも怖いとわかった。
彼女は体をかきながら、夫に必要なことを命令する。
ただ雑務をするだけ、ロマンスはないよ、だだ雑用。
We had a great time talking about our favorite songs on Skype.
A: I dig his songs. They are very impressive.

B: His songs are not my type. I prefer Disney songs.
A: Don’t be silly, those songs are childish.
You are crazy to say that.
B: I don’t care what other people think of my taste in music.
However I want to try to listen to many different genres.
(I want to try to listen to many different kinds of music.)
A: How about this?
His music is compositionally impressive too.
（His music composition is impressive too.)

B: It sounds cacophonous.
A: Yes. He is an insanely good guitar player. He is better than he used to be.
B: By the way, did you get ready for your exam tomorrow?
A: I didn’t. I haven’t cracked open the books yet.
(I have not been cracking the books yet.)
B: You are insane.
I’ll write an explanation about this word in the next post.

It is used to refer to three different feelings.
We tend to avoid using any words with a strong meaning to describe a specific situation therefore, we use おもしろい for these three different feelings.
1) おもしろい be interested in ~
Someone holds attention or curiosity.
In a famous movie about mystery, a main character has a trademark phrase.
If he cannot understand a crime situation, he always says
“I am very interested in this case.”
じつにおもしろい
じつに means really or very.
We would say ほんとうに、とても
A Japanese movie ガリレオ

Someone provides fun or causes amusement or laughter.
“He is such a funny person.”

Every rose has its thorn
I am familiar with this proverb.
But I don’t know how to recover from my heartbreak.
The other day, I had a first date with an amazing, beautiful, educated, and attractive Australian woman.
I thought we go along well with each other.
But I felt like she tried to take advantage of my wallet.
First of all, she chose to take me to an expensive sushi restaurant.
It would have been okay, if she have asked me to take her to a sushi restaurant.
But she didn’t do that.
She pretended to be a vegetarian.
She said, “I cannot eat meat but can do sushi.
And I said, “Sounds good.”
Okay!
How stupid I was, I didn’t know vegetarians couldn’t eat meat nor fish.
Unfortunately for me, she knew I had never met a vegetarian before.
Therefore, I never doubted her desire to eat raw fish.
The sushi tasted very good, and it was very expensive.
Of course, I treated her because I wanted her to think I am a gentleman.
Recently, I have been thinking about her idiotic behavior.
I feel like she just wanted to have an expensive sushi dinner for free.
Since our first date, we haven’t contacted each other.
