I hear some would say 'a bit more messy'. Would you say that? Do you know if those who tends to say 'more messy' would also say 'more busy', too?

 

MrP! You're hilarious! Can you come out of the rest room for a little while? Maybe Davkett has been very fatique and now is in the rest room lying on his stomach.

Could you help with this one? What do you think?

 

Bon week-end!

Hi, Roro

Thanks for the reminder and I know it's off topic. One can go very far under the 'comparatives' thread. In my opinion, that was a meager question. So I'd better bury my doubt under this thread so that I wouldn't rock the boat or cause Tsunami. Maybe Davkett is enjoying basking in the California sun right there and wouldn't be bothered. Having a vacation is always encouraged.

About the photos, why can't you comment on my albums? I * GUESS *  (YEP!) you have to register a hotmail account or else so that you can sign in and then comment. Whadaya wanna say? If you don't mind, you can send me a personal message here. Did you see me in ju-ca-ta(pajamas ou bathrobe)? J'aime ca beaucoup, Roro! Do you wear it every day? You must look very good. * BLUSH *   Is Roro a 'Jack' or 'Jill'?

* GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG *

When I was in JP, I took hot spring every night until my skin got so wrinkled.

'Room service, I need a iron.'

Do you live in Tokyo like Paco too? I haven't been there. It's a big city and I think I'll visit there one day. Maybe you and Paco can be my tour guide!!!! How's that? Oh, if you or Paco plan to visit Taiwan, don't forget to give me a call and I'll show you around. I have a friend who speaks pretty good Japanese.But I think we will have so much fun speaking English. I've got itchy feet now.

Where's my next destination? Sais pas. I prefer to visit a non-English spekaing country, except Europe. Where would you recommend, Roro?

I majored in Education. But I have to confess that I didn't study hard. After I graduated, I was a dance teacher of two high schools. I taught new jazz and hip-hop. BUT NOT ANYMORE! It belongs to younger generation's activity. I'm too old for those bone-cracking activities.

What about you, Roro? I'm glad to see your passion for language learning. 

I'm fatique now because I've giggled too much today. One of my friends in Macau visited Taiwan and we had a wonderful eveing ever.

It's 3 am now. Gotta take a shower and hit the hay. I have a morning class tomorrow! SATURDAY!!!!! Who needs it!  

Bonne nuit.

Hi Pastel {*ᴥ*}⎠
Okay. I send you personal email (later). Can I send it to you from that site? (I couldn't leave my greetings 'cause I don't have hotmail account.)
Oh! You don't wear ju-ca-ta over there?
〖I've got itchy feet, too〗(in Japanese we say ...wa-ku-wa-ku...suru)
We can converse with each other in writing kanji, too!

More later, take a good rest and study hard!
See you, Pastel.

Hello Pastel, hello Roro, cheery greetings,

'More messy' and 'more busy' seem ok; but I may change my mind in the morning.

Bear with me...it's been a long hard day, dispensing little squirts of cologne and brushing people's collars...

MrP

Sorry Pastel,

I kind of saw the thread drifting away and didn't chase after it.  You probably would have heard from me sooner had you posted your latest question in a new thread, (it's not about 'future tense' anymore).  Besides, threads with more than 100 posts are kind of daunting.

More messy, a bit more messy, more busy, a bit more busy-- all slip off the tongue very easily, in the right context. 

I like 'very fatique' (translated:  'very fatigued'?)

Hi Pastel. There was a feature program on Taiwan just now on TV. Your Kanji is not simplified, so seems more familiar to us Japanese.
By the way you are female? I don't know why but I've been thinking you are a boy. (I'm so sorry as to my comment on photos: that cute girl was you? You know, I was seeking a boy and found one at last in NY. Very smart boy, which reminds me of my childfood friend. I thought he was you! Sorry if I'm wrong (I'm still not sure), sorry for my irrelevant comment! Indeed...

I sent to you email today, drop me a line when you have a spare time. Bye,
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
......oh Pastel, you have edited your post just now?? I was really surprised!
It's more eye-friendly! I like it {Hearty-emoticon...which I cannot find anywhere}

Hello, Pastel and Roro!

I've been following your discussion with growing interest, but one question hasn't been answered: Who is Jack, and who is Jill? Or is it two Jacks, or two Jills?   Tongue Tied [:S] 

PS: the heart emoticon is not far from here...  Heart [L]
