Miho

I have known Miho for almost 2 years. What can I say about her, other than she is the greatest person I have ever met. Of course she has her many faults, don't we all? Among them...very literal, burps alot (still can't figure that one out), stays out late and comes home at 9 or 10am without thinking twice about it, sleeps over other people's places without telling me till after the fact...the list could go on forever. Instead of pointing out the wrong (ala "the list" on Friends) I am going to talk about her three best qualities. Keep in mind they are not her only good qualities, but they are her best ones.

Generousity - Miho is the single most generous person I will ever know. When I moved to Japan I had very little money. I came here with a few hundred dollars and a suitcase. I did not work for several months either because it was impossible for me to get a job on a tourist visa. So Miho supported me. I did not ask her to, I did not make her do it, but she did. She paid the rent, the bills, gave me spending mone, etc....in all I am about 1,000,000 yen in debt to her. Not something I am proud of by any means. I am, in fact, ashamed of it. I have never asked anyone for anything in my entire life. Maybe it was Karma that it came back aroud to me in the form of her generousity. Without her I would not have made been able to stay here in Japan as long as I have. Also, she goes out of her way to do even the smallest things to make me happy. Things I never ask her to do or even would think of. She goes on a diet and exercises every day and goes from beautiful to gorgeous...just for me. To the point that when Ben saw her after not seeing her for several months he said "Dude, she is fucking hot!!!" There is nothing she won't do to make me happy. She even watches baseball and football with me because it makes me happy. You and I both know a Japanese girl could care less about the NY Giants, but there she is rooting like an all star for them because she will dp it to make me happy.

Great Cook - She is an unbelievable cook. She can cook as well, if not better, than my mother. I am serious when I say she's good. The greatest part?? She likes to cook!!! Just like me, I love cooking and am quite good at it...but Miho is much better. Whenever I wanted her to try making something she would without fear, and it would be great, usually.

Bed - I won't expand on that one haha...but take my word for it...WOW.

Why, you ask, am I doing this? I don't know to be honest. I know that I am very short tempered with her and she has threatened to leave me if I did not chill out. In two months..if I cannot fix my visa situation, I will not be able to stay in Japan....that would be bad. For the first time I have been unable to sleep at night. When I lay next to her in bed, my arms around her, I have actually shed a few tears because I am afraid that in two months I might not be able to do even the simplest thing as sleep next to her anymore. I love her so much and if I lose her I will be a broken man. She is the first girl I ever even thought about marrying.

We talk about it once in a while.When forced to choose between her family and me she chose me. So I know se loves me, cuz her family is loaded haha. You will not want to see what shape I will be in without her. Ask anyone that was around me in November and December of lsat year...or just read my posts from November...The tenth I think, too lazy to look. My misery was unending. I cried myself to sleeep at night. I was so lonely that I went out ad drank just to be able to talk to other people. Just so I would not be sitting at home, alone.
