Hangul's Today : 아이구 (AIGOO)
Thus the exclamation 아이구 "Aigu!" is used, with varying tonality, in keening for a dead parent, or expressing sympathy for another person's bad news, but it is also used on spilling a cup of coffee, or to express exasperation on just missing a bus, amazement on meeting a long-lost friend, or fury at losing one's job.
아이구(AIGOO) means something like "oh" or "oh no" or "oh my!" It's a Korean exclamation. could also means something similar to 'geez' Mostly used as 'geez'
아이구(AIGOO)and 아이고(AIGO)are different. In grammar, aigo is right. but people lives near Seoul used to say 아이구(aigoo). Seoul people prefer to say "우(oo)" with every end of sentence. is it funny?

3 bule vs 1 korean :O siapa yang menang ya?~
LAPD, 백인 상대 한인 인종혐오범죄 수사
(로스앤젤레스=연합뉴스) 장익상 특파원 = 로스앤젤레스경찰국(LAPD)이 코리아타운에서 백인들을 상대로 발생한 한인들의 인종혐오 범죄 신고를 접수하고 수사에 나섰다.
12일 LAPD 윌셔경찰서에 따르면 주말인 지난 8일 새벽 2시께 코리아타운 중심가에서 한인 남성 2명이 길가던 백인 남성 2명과 여성 1명 등 3명을 폭행하고 달아났다는 것.
피해자들은 경찰에서 “용의자들은 BMW 승용차를 타고 우리 곁을 지나다 먼저 영어로 욕설을 퍼부었고 이를 무시한채 계속 걸어갔으나 차에서 내려 `왜 우리의 영역인 코리아타운에 왔느냐’며 폭행하기 시작했다”고 주장했다.

What!!? 3 bule dipukulin gara2 mampir ke Los Angeles Koreatown, cuman ama 1 korean guy? :O *ga mo percaya mode on* Kira2 ceritanya gini: ada 3 bule (2 co and 1 ce) lagi jalan2 di LA Koreatown trus di deketin BMW yg didalemnya ada orang Korea, gw ga jelas cowo apa cewe orang Korea-nya yg jelas pasti co ya ^^; and ngomong something not nice kayaknya ke 3 bule itu, tapi dicuekin. Trus si Korean jadi angot (marah2), BMWnya berenti and tu korean ngedeketin bule2 itu sambil ngumpat "ngapain lo ke koreantown?" en langsung mukulin mereka.. gw ga tau bener or ga'nya anyway, since gw cuman dapet tu berita dari news link....Tauk deh, cuman sedih aja, kenapa sih banyak berita jelek ttg korean people T.T gw ga mau terimaaaaaa T.T coz sejauh ini gw ga pernah bermasalah ama korean friends gw..anyway...mungkin emang ada beberapa Koreans yg stupid kaya berita di atas... tapi ga berarti kita bisa judge gitu dong, gw lupa liat judgement tentang news ini di blognya siapa, yg jelas dari tulisannya keliatan banget kalo ni orang benci abis ama koreans.
But, ada satu yg nulis komen netral (kenapa gw bilang netral, coz dia juga ga langsung marah2 tapi berusaha ramah and netral nanggepin tulisannya si penulis), kalo ga salah dia ngomong gini:
Personally, even though I’m a Korean myself, I don’t really like Korea. Ever since I really got to know the country and the people here, I just can’t love it. So many people are messed up, and you especially can’t expect any attiquete on the internet from them. And it’s true that many Koreans are very closed minded. Some people are arrogant because they’ve been taught that way the the Korean society. This is how it goes; there are lots of people who don’t like foreigners at all, people who love white people but think they’re superior then black people, and the last group of people who are open minded to all races (but they tend to hate Korea and the fact that they’re Korean; there are exceptions).
But really, even in such a messed up country like Korea, there ARE some good people like there is everywhere else in the world; they’re just really hard to find. So please, don’t make judgements on your first sight of seeing a Korean. At least talk to them for few minutes, THEN hate them if you must.
Aduh, leganya ternyata ada juga yg netral and gw yakin pasti lebih banyak lagi yg netral bakal ikutan komen di website itu kalo mereka pada baca juga.. Gw aja kaget pas bacanya...

Typhoon Nari strikes South Korea
Typhoon Nari made land late last night, striking the southern coast of South Korea, before whirling north east towards the Korean Peninsula. More than ten people were killed on the island of Cheju by the heavy rain and strong winds generated by the typhoon.
Nari, named after a South Korean flower, is the eleventh typhoon to have formed so far this year and has been lashing the country with heavy rain since its approach on Saturday. The Korean Meteorological Service (KMS) estimating that 590mm (23.2 inches) of rain fell in Cheju over the weekend, washing away roads and farmland and forcing the cancellation of more than 300 flights.
Nari has since weakened and is moving away from land across the Sea of Japan. The Joint Typhoon Warning Centre has issued a final warning for the typhoon which is not expected to cause anymore damage. They are now keeping a close eye on Typhoon Wipha which has recently formed off the south east coast of China, and looks set to track towards the city of Shanghai.

Hangul's Today : Calling (전화 드리다)
Biasanya tiap kali K-people terima telpon,kalimat pertama yg di ucap pasti "yo bo se yo" pertama kali sempet juga salah denger hehehe, kirain "an nyong ha se yo" en kalo sepintas juga cuman kedengeran "yong se yo" doang hehehe.. kadang lucu juga ya.. tiap negara beda2 kalimat sapa-nya, Indonesia cukup "halo" huruf L tengah di baca ringan and penekanan biasanya pada huruf "o" , In english cukup "hello", di Jepang lumayan unik "Moshi moshi" , di Belanda "HaLLo" en pake penekanan di double L nya, and di Korea "Yo bo se yo"..Koreans biasanya pake, "yoboseyo", ini hanya untuk menjawab telepon (coz buat hello in generally as far as i know is an nyong ha se yo).
여보세요 = yo bo se yo / yeo bo se yo -- both are right.
여보세요. ___ 씨 계세요? = Yeoboseyo. ___ssi gyeseyo? = Hello. Is ___ there?

Full House Season 2
Season 2 of the hit KBS drama series 'Full House' is in the making.
Park Chang-sik at Kim Jong-hak Production says "Jo Jeong-hwa has been working on the script for a year and the script is ready for the 3rd episode so far. Overseas shooting is also under review."
Casting will begin this year and the drama will be filmed and aired next year. The director has yet to be decided.
Park says "The first series in 2004 was beloved at home, in China and Southeast Asia so that many Asian broadcasters offered to produce their own series. A well made season 2 could hit it big at home and abroad. It's unclear whether Rain and Song Hye-kyo will be recast."
Full House, which ended airing in September 2004, was based on a popular same-titled Korean comic by Won Soo-yeon about a trendy young couple's love story. Rain and Song were touted as the most lovely drama couple.

Hangul's Today : Saying Happy Birthday ( 행복한 생일 )
How to say happy birthday in korean?
행복한 생일 = Happy BirthdayHow to sing the happy birthday song in korean?
생일축하함니다
Seng il chook ha ham ni da~
생일축하함니다
Seng il chook ha ham ni da~
사랑하는 ............ (put your friend's name here)
Sa rang ha nuen .............
생일축하함니다
Seng il chook ha ham ni da~
Ah! and I've found something about Korean habit regarding this song.
Koreans are ardent clap-and-sing people. People love to clap along with the beat at concerts (even sometimes when it’s inappropriate, as I witnessed occasionally at the Jeonju Sori Festival), and when they sing together in a group in informal social situations, clapping is de rigeur. The thing is, the clapping is almost always done in a 2/4 or 4/4 rhythm, and usually on the downbeat…When westerners sing “Happy Birthday”, the downbeats come like this: Happy Birth–day to you, Happy Birth–day to you, Happy Birth–day dear Bob–by, Happy Birth–day to you.
But when Koreans sing it, they clap on every second beat, which puts the downbeats like this: Seng–Il Chuk–ha ham–ni da! [2], Seng–Il Chuk–ha ham–ni da! [2], Sarang ha–neun Chull–su–eui, Seng–Il Chuk–ha ham–ni da! [2].

Hangul's Today : Saying Cute (귀여운)
I used to write "귀여워 에노 누나" for my email signature... just found out and been told that was wrong words T.T
I supposed to write it "귀여운 에노 누나", not "귀여워 에노 누나" at the bottom of my email.. so when i wrote "귀여워 에노 누나" dongseng said it doesn't make sense for him, as it is supposed to be said to another person, not to myself.
Basicly...
귀엽다고 하지마 also same meaning as "귀엽다고 하지 말아요" but you can use this kind of short expression to the people whose the age is same as you or younger than you.
* Cute : 귀여운 (gui-yo-wun)
* Aren't I cute : 내가 귀엽지 (nae-ga gui-yop-ji)
* Pretty : 예뻐 (ye-ppo)
* Aren't I pretty : (내가 예쁘지) (nae-ga ye-ppeu-ji)
그럼 담에 또 봐요. 잘 지내요~~
( gu rum dam e tto ba yo. jal ji ne yo).
Means: See you next time. take care~~ :P

Basicly...
귀엽다고 하지 말아요 -> gue yuop da go ha je mal a yo => please don't say that I'm cute귀여워 -> you can say this word when you want to express something (person or animal or etc.) is cute or lovely. can be used by itself
귀여운 -> if there is something that is cute or lovely and you want to say it's cute, you should say the something (that is noun) with this word "귀여운"(that is adjective)
Example :
cute baby -> 귀여운 아기(baby : a gi), you can't say only 귀여운 and also "귀여운 에노 누나" -> in this sentence i used that word with "에노 누나" which is noun
귀엽다고 하지마 also same meaning as "귀엽다고 하지 말아요" but you can use this kind of short expression to the people whose the age is same as you or younger than you.
* Cute : 귀여운 (gui-yo-wun)
* Aren't I cute : 내가 귀엽지 (nae-ga gui-yop-ji)

안녕히 계세요
haha~~ of course it's a joke...
tapi ga munafik dong, kadang gw pernah punya feeling just like that, kalo lagi bete bertumpuk ama seseorang...want to kill someone so bad, but can't coz you are just a normal, humble person? haha~~ why don't you express it in korean words... paling ga, kalo di ucapin di Indo, banyak yg ga ngarti.. en kalo di ucapin di Korea, bisa bikin orang terkaget2 haha~~
안녕히 계세요 <-- complete expression for that, but for fun you can use like this 안녀이 계세 except for "요" meaning is same but for fun~ don't need to say 요 if you want to make a joke..you can say only that but don't say to senior or old people :P
초딩이가? = cho ding e ga? = haven't you grown up yet?
돌았나? <--are you crazy? ; 미쳤나 same meaning
초딩이가? = are you a student in elementary school?
Haha~~ better off before someone want to kill me :P i have more bad words. but not gonna put here :P :P

Chingu (친구)
namja = man
gyo ja = female
여자 = female
여자친구? a girl friend ; but could be also just female friend
to be absolutely a "girl friend" better just use 애인 <--can be used for both sex
example : " is he your 애인? " means is he/she your lover or beloved person?
애인 <-- easier... and more like a lover coz 여자친구 <-- can be also just a friend
namja chingu iso? = do you have a bf?
우린 친구 = we are friend = wu rin chin gu
친구 = chin gu = friend
wu ri = we
우린 = wu rin = we are
wu ri chin gu ga? wu rin chin gu ji <-- can be both a asking question and replying question, it depends on what kind of question is the accent of the last word, and it depends on the accent that what kind of question it becomes. aiyooh... quite difficult to express T.T

jajamyung [짜장면]
gw sering banget liat di many korean dramas, about this "jajamyung" . tapi yg bikin gw ngiler banget ama mi korea ini, pas gw nonton "Fantasy Couple". Han Ye Seul was eating it so many times~~ i think maybe almost in each episode, haha~~ keliatan enaaaaaaaaaak banget, so i was curious how's the real taste.. luckily there's a korean supermarket near by my place, and the old korean welcomed me there and smiled.
"bisa saya bantu...?""ah~~ya, saya cari ja ja myung, dimana ya?""ohhh, cha-jang myonggg...coba yang instant saja, jadi tidak perlu dimasak""kalau yang ini, lebih besar?""ya, tapi susah, harus dimasak dulu dan lama, kamu coba yang mudah saja dulu"
and this is what i got...
I had a lil discussion about this with dongseng few days ago and this is what i got :
it's not pronounced 'myong' or 'myung' .. the last word supposed to be finished with the letter "n" not "g" ... the right one is "myeun" or "myun" or " 짜장면 "
====> ㄴ = n ;짜장면 = 짜 jja ; 장 jang ; 면 <-- see ㄴ?? ㄴ's pronounciation is like "n" so it should be finished with "n" not "g" ===> ja jang myun or cha jang myun
I'm not sure whether it's coming from Korea or Chinese, coz ada yang bilang "ja jang myun is a Chinese dish which is very popular in Korea". Dari namanya sih, mirip2 korean punya heheh but who knows... so after googling, got this :
"Cha-Jang Myun is another popular noodle dish enjoyed by many Asians. Most Koreans consider this meal a Chinese dish and it is usually only found in Korean/Chinese restaurants. "Chajang" is the sauce made from black bean paste which gives its distinctive black color and "myun" means noodle. The final sauce is made with Chajang, onion, meat and/or seafood, usually squid, shrimp, sea cucumber and others but never a fish.

Cha Jang Myun (Noodles with Black Bean Sauce)
Recipe By : Lisa Oh (lisa_o@msn.com)
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:45
Categories : Ethnic: Chinese
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 pound pork or beef, chicken's ok too, shrimp's ok, whatever floats your boat. Don't taste the same without it though. it's the fat.
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
3 medium onions -- chopped
2 medium zucchini -- chopped
3/4 cup oyster, shiitake, or straw mushrooms -- chopped. Not necessary.
* 1 cup cha jang (black bean paste, not sauce!) Looks like a jar of black paste when opened.
oil or shortening
1 cup chicken broth (can substitute veggie)
1 tablespoon potato starch, corn starch will do in a pinch
1 tablespoon water
fresh chinese noodles -- cooked
*Look for this at a Chinese or a Korean Market. No substitutes!
1. Cut the pork into small pieces. Mariate in soy sauce, rice wine, ginger,
and garlic. Set aside. If using shrimp, shell, devein and salt lightly. Set
aside.
2. In a wok, over high heat, stir fry the onion and zucchini. Depending on
the size of the wok, you might have to do it in batches. Remove and set
aside.
3. Heat the shortening or oil in the wok. The amount varies, depending upon
the amount of the black bean paste, but don't be too stingy with the oil.
Dump the paste in the wok, stirring quickly to avoid burning. Stir for
approximately 2 -3 minutes.
4. Add the pork and stir fry till it is cooked, approximately 1 - 2 minutes.
Add the vegetables and mix.
5. Add the chicken broth. Bringt to a boil.
6. Add the shrimp, if using, and mix.
7. Mix the starch and water. Add it to the wok and stir til thickened
and bubbly..
8. Serve immediately over cooked noodles. Some people prefer to eat it with rice/fried rice instead of noodles, or both. Whatever floats yer boat! This plus some dumplings, or sweet and sour beef/pork/shrimp is a fairly common combination.

Korean Alphabet
Links:Most English speakers think Korean has thousands of characters, like Chinese, but it actually has a very simple and logical alphabet, which you can learn in a few minutes. The alphabet was invented in 1443 during the reign of the Great King Sejong. There are 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels.
Letters that have similar sounds also have similar shapes, so it is easy to learn.
The letters are grouped into syllable blocks containing an initial consonant (which may be silent or double), one or two vowels (below or to the right), and sometimes a final consonant (below).
Now, see if you can "decode" these words:

Some Facts about Koreans
Koreans are very social people.
Eating is a very social event.
Koreans love to order foods in groups and often share many foods.
They love karaoke, in "singing rooms". It is basically karaoke, but in your own private room. (The rooms serve alcohol and you can get rooms for 2 - 20 people. Lots of fun).
They find it quite rude to wipe your nose loudly. They often laugh about foreigners doing so, especially during the launch time (while eating some spicy food). However, burping loudly or even farting is considered a natural thing and one can notice people on the streets and on subways doing this without notice….
Most Koreans are drinkers and smokers
Koreans are one of the hardest working people in the world. They are raised with the mentality that they must work and make tons of money until the day they croak over and die. Percentage wise, Koreans are the number one entrepreneur's in the United States. That comes to no surprise since Korean own most of the dry cleaners, liquor stores, garment factories, fro-yo stores, etc., in the US. Gas companies like Shell and Chevron like franchising stations to Koreans because they know that they will work 24/7, using family members as cheap labor, which in turn means more gallons of gas will be sold.
Koreans are money-hungry, superficial, impatient, and demanding. They want everything now, everything "pa-lee pa-lee" or you'll hear a "joo goo leh" come out of their mouth. They have no seconds to waste since time is money and they love money! It's because of their passionate nature and their drive to succeed that they come off as douche bags and dragon ladies.
Korean women are often called psycho b*tches because of their passion and anger, which is also known as "Korean fury." It might be because of all the spicy foods they eat or the "han" that has been passed down by their ancestors. It's because they know what they want and they aren't afraid to go after it. Rather than sit there and waste time, they'll yell and scream until they get what they want. Or, they'll be coy and toss in a few "yahhh hah ji mah's" and bat their eyes in order to get their way. But hey, Korean women know how to keep their men (Asian or non-Asian) satisfied in every way possible, which is why men love them!
Did I mention how they love money? And kimchi too? ^_^’
Things You Should Know in Korea
In Korea, people don't usually tip. (The food is tasty, cheap, delivery is free, and you don't tip!)
When eating using chopsticks, make sure you don't leave your chopsticks in the rice bowl! (This is only done after someone has died. It is a sign of remorse).
When you pay for something (or hand anything to a korean) pass with two hands. This is a sign of respect. Respect is an important part of korean culture, especially respect towards elders.
Crime rates in Korea are low
Almost 99% of everyone over 18 in Korea has a cell phone
Koreans' attitudes towards westerners is usually welcoming
There are english signs everywhere and usually someone that can speak english is around.
Cafes are very popular here, so you might want a relaxing night at a cafe to chat with friends.

Eating is a very social event.
Koreans love to order foods in groups and often share many foods.
They love karaoke, in "singing rooms". It is basically karaoke, but in your own private room. (The rooms serve alcohol and you can get rooms for 2 - 20 people. Lots of fun).

Hangul's Today : Saying Goodbye
I used to say "Jal Ji Ne" when i'm saying goodbye to friends, but my dongseng told me that K-people usually use that 잘지내~ (Jal Ji Ne) when saying goodbye for a quite long time. For general goodbye then just say "good night" or "jal ja~ ne il ba" ---> 잘자 내일봐~
잘자 (Jal Ja) = Good Night
내일봐 (Ne Il Ba) = See You Tomorrow
Or can also say:
다음에 애기 또 하자 = talk to you later~
When we are saying goodbye, if you leave from your friend's house, you should say "안녕히 계세요" and when you are the host of the house and your friend is leaving, you should say "안녕히 가세요"
But to make it easier just say it shortly: 잘가~~ Bye
Or 잘 있어(jal it so) when you're leaving the house
Hmm..For example : Now I'm in your house, and you've invited me to your house so I'm in your house now. And now it's time for me to go back home so I say before I leave "안녕히 계세요" But if you're my friend then I don't need to be that polite/formal, so I can just say 잘 있어(jal it so). and you can say "안녕히 가세요"
안녕히 가세요 = BYE 안녕히 계세요 = BYE ; same but the situation is different
Ok. I'm dizzy now ^.^'

Korean Dramas Addict
Are you addicted to K-dramas?
Did you loose sleep over k-drama last week?
Did you neglect your "real life" responsibilities to watch K-dramas in the last 6 months?
Do you constantly check the status of the fan-sub release date?
Is downloading K-dramas a part of your daily routine?
Do you secretly dream that you will meet your prince charming aka 2nd generation chaebol who's attracted to you because you are so optimistic and ordinary at your front door someday?
If you answer YES to more than two of those questions, you are a true KDA (K-drama addict)!

The Word Oppa (오빠) and The Meaning
I know this word “Oppa” from K-dramas ^^ Most K-dramas actress using the word “Oppa” to call her special someone (the actor of course ^^) or someone that close enough to her/family, like older brother.. And i got the feeling (for myself) that it's so~ romantic to say this word "Oppa" (Is that coz i've been watching too many K-dramas haha) but the pronounciation sounds really nice heheh..
But, curiously enough, i did some googling again and this is what i've found:
But when I talked about this "Oppa" word to my K-friends, they were totally not agree with my "great feeling" that i have about that "Oppa" word T.T Some even said to me that it’s not really right nowadays to use the word "Oppa"
And this last one was half of my conversation with my other K-friend:
So, that was also why my friend told me that she called her bf long time ago with Chagi (자기) instead of Oppa (오빠) and also explained why he wasn't too comfy when she still called him "Oppa" long time ago, and asked her to change it into "자기"
Updated:
Just chatted with someone and he said Korean guys are still like to be called "오빠" haha~~ and he was laughing when i said about that word 오빠 that is now used commonly in nightclubs..he said yes but anyway..I agree with him that the word sounds lovely~! "오빠"
But, curiously enough, i did some googling again and this is what i've found:
Oppa (오빠) means "older brother" but it's also commonly used by females towards older male friends. Hyung (형) is used by males towards older male figures. The females call unni (언니) that is for a female to call her older sister. And nuna (누나) is what a male would call his older sister. And a younger brother or sister called dongsaeng (동생). Both males and females using that word.
But when I talked about this "Oppa" word to my K-friends, they were totally not agree with my "great feeling" that i have about that "Oppa" word T.T Some even said to me that it’s not really right nowadays to use the word "Oppa"
"About Oppa...Originally, you call your brother "Oppa". but these days, when you get to know an older guy you can call him "Oppa". But some people don't like it, old people don't like it, and some young guys don't like it, because the word "Oppa" became so cheap. "Oppa" is quite common.."
And this last one was half of my conversation with my other K-friend:
ME: "Is that true that people say nowadays the word "Oppa" is often being used in Night Club and some other places like that?"
HIM: "Oh you know that? That is WHY i don't like the word "Oppa" that much. It became cheap. Using by some women in entertainment business, like: noraebang, and gayojujum, and room - night club.."
ME: "How about chagi?"
HIM: "Chagi is still good. You can use it ^^"
So, that was also why my friend told me that she called her bf long time ago with Chagi (자기) instead of Oppa (오빠) and also explained why he wasn't too comfy when she still called him "Oppa" long time ago, and asked her to change it into "자기"

As Time Goes By (시간이 흐른 뒤) - T( 윤미래).
Korean Version:
마지못해 살아가겠지 너 없이도 매일 아침 이렇게 일어나
밤새 조금씩 더 무뎌져버린 기억속에서 애써 너의 얼굴을 꺼내어 보겠지
시간이란 누구에게나 느린 아픔을 주는지 우~
힘든 하루속에도 늘 니 생각뿐인 난 눈물마져도 말라가는데
* As Time Goes By 난 그게 두려운 걸 니 안에서 나의 모든게 없던 일이 될까봐 우~
눈 감으면 늘 선명하던 니가 어느 순간 사라질까봐 정말 겁이 나는 걸
이별이란 서로에게서 지워지는 거라지만 우~
많은 사람 속에도 늘 니 걱정뿐인 난 시간 마저도 붙잡고 싶은데
* As Time Goes By 난 그게 두려운 걸 니 안에서 나의 모든게 없던 일이 될까봐 우~
눈 감으면 늘 선명하던 니가 어느 순간 사라지게 될까봐 우~
내가 없는 세상이 너는 괜찮은건지 너에게 잊을만한 추억일 뿐인지
참으려 애를 써도 늘 보고픈 나는 니가 아니면 안될 것 같은데 You Are The One
*As Time Goes By 난 여기 있어줄게 셀 수 없는 밤이 지나도 사랑했던 그대로 우~
혹시라도 너 돌아오게 되면 단 한번에 나를 찾을 수 있게 As Time Goes By

Can Somebody Please
Stop This Hurt Inside
Although Your Love For Me Has Changed

How to Make Him Feel Sorry For Your Mistakes
The human being is one who is not perfect. It is but normal for humans to make mistakes, be it a woman or a man. Usually, in a couple, it is the male partner who says that it is the woman who has to apologize when a mistake is made on anyone’s part. To the male, whether the woman or the man is wrong, it is the woman who has to apologize. However this need not always stand true as it is very much possible for you to make your male partner sorry for your mistakes too.
One of the most important tools for a successful marriage relationship, or any relationship for that matter, is to be able to forgive each other for mistakes. In fact, being able to forgive is a great way of keeping you and your body emotionally and physically healthy. So if you make your husband forgive you for your mistakes, you enjoy your relationship much better because you understand each other much better.
Mistakes in a marriage can be anything and everything. Sometimes you may say something you don’t actually mean to your spouse. The reason you say such things could be because of something your partner had said, that had hurt your feelings. In such situations, it is definitely the male who has to make first attempts to forgive you for your mistakes. Though it may be difficult for both of you to forgive, forgiving is an important aspect of a successful relationship.
If you have a fight, and you feel and know that it was his fault and actions that led to the fight, then you should let him know that it was his mistake. You have to continue with your work, without actually fighting with him. The quieter you are, the more he will repent for his mistakes. Just carry on with your work, as if nothing had actually happened. He will gradually go over what happened in the fight, and realize his mistake and why he should not have said nor done what he had done. This is when he will feel sorry for your mistakes and his and forgive you.
Many a time, the reason for a fight in a relationship arises because of work not being done by the spouse, cooking that is not right and perhaps late meetings and appointments. Maybe you had not completed the chore that your partner had assigned to you because of your prior assignments or engagements. You have to then explain to him the actual reason for you not being able to complete the assigned chore. Once he understands your predicament or situation, it is more than likely that he will forgive you for your mistakes.
This shows that transparency is very important in a marriage. If you hide your activities from your partner, you will not be able to explain the reasons for your mistakes. So avoid hiding things that are not meant to be hidden in your relationship, and you find that he will readily forgive you for any and all mistakes that you make.

How to deal with mean people
There are some people that don't think before they talk. Some just want you to have a bad day, by saying mean things to you. The world is already a tough place to be in, so we should not have to deal with someone's mean remarks. Follow my guidelines and you will flip the script on those meanies.
Instructions :
Step1
If a mean person tries to hurt your feelings, take action. At first you may want to be polite, but if that doesn't work (which most times doesn't) move on to the next step.
Step2
I believe that confrontation is not the best way to deal with these meanies. That would be giving them what they are desperately craving for, "ATTENTION."
Step3
Humor Using humor sometimes, will work on some meanies. By using humor, you are showing that person, that you are not flustered by their remarks.
Step4
Laughter Another way not to give in, to a mean person, is by ignoring them. For example, someone may have said something mean to you (especially infront of other people) start talking to someone and laugh like you never laughed before. He will certainly get confused.
Step5
Don't show anger Try not to show that you are angry.When you get angry, i believe that these sick meanies get a kick out of it. They are insecure in some way and want to see other people sad, to make them feel better about themselves.
Step6

Step1
If a mean person tries to hurt your feelings, take action. At first you may want to be polite, but if that doesn't work (which most times doesn't) move on to the next step.
Step2
I believe that confrontation is not the best way to deal with these meanies. That would be giving them what they are desperately craving for, "ATTENTION."
Step3
Humor Using humor sometimes, will work on some meanies. By using humor, you are showing that person, that you are not flustered by their remarks.
Step4
Laughter Another way not to give in, to a mean person, is by ignoring them. For example, someone may have said something mean to you (especially infront of other people) start talking to someone and laugh like you never laughed before. He will certainly get confused.
