I Want To Leave Office

I Don't Live In My Office

Not much to write today.
I just worked.
We are going to renew our products which is for human beings and dogs to eat together.
That's why it is hard for us to leave office ealry lately.
I was going to go to Gold Gym, but could not as usual.
Should I quit the membership of that gym cuz I don't go much.

Anyways, I was a little frustrated today.
My boss was really worried about me cuz I looked really frustrated.
Don't know why, but I feel that I have too much to do.
I should not complain, I know.
I gotta get going.
I will go to gym for sure tomorrow!!

So I lieten to music which always give me power.
Mongol 800!!
I love the band!

1st Day of Work in 2009

Still Having Stomachache

This picture is random but a fan I found at our factory.
Pretty old but I love this color Orange!!
Color orenge make me happy, always!

Today was my first day of work in year 2009.
I know there would be a celemony, but I was not sure what time it would be.
But I knew that I overslept this morning.
So tied my hair up and took my make-up stuff in my car and put my make-up on in my car.
Oh thank god, I was just on time!!
It was so nice to see all the familiar faces.
I worked a lot and attended lots of meetings today like I did not have any vacation.
I felt good today, but I am not sure how long this feeling would last...

I keep in touch with the guy from the other night, and I will go on a date tomorrow.
Because I said that I still have a bad stomachache from lots of food from New Year's, he said he would take me a place which will release my stomachache.
He is such a sweet guy and texts me a lot in a day.
I love getting texts, but I have already felt tired of replying to all of them.
Not a bad meaning but I am just not used to.
Maybe because I have not felt comfortable yet...

Anyway, I went to a nail salon tonight after work.
I wanted to go the end of last year, but could not make an appointment.
I still have short nails for work, but decided to care them again in clean way.

Uhhhh, I have bad stomachahe now too.
Believe or not, last couple of days I only eat one meal.
I love eating but now eating makes me vomitting...
Oy...

Last Day In My Bed

Not Ready For Working

I had a headache and stomachache today.
Ah how foolish I was to drink that much…
I gotta think about my age, I know…

I woke up pretty early although I stayed up late last night, but of course I did not get out from my bed till late afternoon.
Now I love watching Ally McBeal.
So I am in a bed with surfing intenet and watching American dramas.

Since my grandma is at my parents’ house till tomorrow, I went to my parents’ to have dinner together.
We had good time.

Now I have already chosen what to wear tomorrow.
I just need to get ready for tomorrow in my mind.
Well I have definitely not been ready yet.

The Last Day Of Work!

Last Work Day in 2008

Hell yeah! It was the last work day in 2008!!
I felt year 2008 ended pretty quickly, but I can say that I work soooo hard!!!
So damn hard!!!!
I went to work today and cleaned my desk, greeted everybody to thank for taking care of me in year 2008
Also, I looked around all of our factories to see if they are clean enough.
That's my habit to do at the last day of my work.
Not only for checking, but also I show my appreciation to the factories for making goof products for a year.
And I found this broken computer backside of our factory.
Who threw this computer to our territory!!!!

After my work at office, I went to see someone to sell our products.
Yes, I went for sales on my last day of work!! ( So they should buy our products)
It was a good drive to visit the office, by the way.
Went to Kobe and this is the view from their office building.
I wanted to go to IKEA, but did not stop by because I have more than enough furniture in my apt...

After work, I went to see Ryohei and Yoshi, who are my old friends from YMCA camp.
I met them when we were 13.
Whenever we see each other, we tease each other talking about 17 years ago.
Yoshi in the picture just got back from Latin America, and he promised me to take me around Latin America!
Can’t wait!!
We had miso pot, and after that I took them to my bar close to my apt.
We had a couple drinks and chat about lots of stuff.
They were such good friends of mine, and I am so lucky to be able to get together t\with them whenever I want.
This is the only reason that I am afraid to move to some other country,
I have good friends here.
Well, my result of my job interview will be announced soon.
What do I want??

He is a guy I saw in a train.
Just kidding.
He is Ryohei, another my good friend.
He is funny crazy guy.
Can’t believe this crazy guy settled, and got married, but I am so happy for him:)
Ahh, I wanted his coat so bad!!

Cleaning Day

Suppose To Be The Last Day

It was the last day for our department at work.
We clean all the rooms and our desks in the morning, and we have noodles all together for lunch and close the year 2008.

I woke up at 8:13 this morning, and I freaked out!
I had to get to my office at 8:45 so I usually get up at 7:00.
Since I was so drunk last night, I did not set up the alarm...
I tied my hair up, brushed my teeth, grabbed my make-up stuff, ran outside and took a cab.
Thank god, I got my office on time because it was Saturday and no so much traffic.

We cleaned our office with the uniform which I'd never worn.
It was kind of fun to do unusual thing.

This is my last tasting for work.
It was pretty good.
I supposed to finish working in this afternoon, but I could not finish working...
I still left some more work, so I will go to work one more day on Monday with people from other department.
My year 2008 will be end soon.
I just need to get a rest tomorrow and will feel better.
I will definitely go to get massage!!

Hangover

Hangover But Drunk More

I woke up at my hotel in Tokyo and oh my god!! I had really a bad headache.
Yes, hangover…
I had never gotten hangover, but since last year, I sometimes get hangover.
Probably it is because of my age??

I took a flight to go back to Osaka, and had lunch with my sis, and went back to my office after.
It was a pretty busy day at work, and I did not feel well because of hangover headache…
I really did not feel like going out to drink tonight, but look at me, I look really happy in the picture.
Yes, I finally felt better after work.

We talked a little about work, ate a lot and drunk a lot of course.
It did not take much time for me to get drunk tonight.
Everyone could tell that I was tired because I could not stop yawning...
How rude...

Although I was tired and wanted to go home, drinking out with co-workers from sales department is always fun.
They are such nice and funny guys.
They can drink so much, and if I drink as much as they drink, I would die.
I just get a little worried about the 23-year-old girl who just entered to our company this April.
She lives with her family and I bet her parents get worried about thier daughter if she gets home at 1 in the morning.
What a bad boss I am...

Christmas Eve W Family

Christmas Eve

Christmas is an event I love so much.
I am not Christian, but I just LOVE Christmas.
Why? Because nobody get in fight on Christmas.
Oh, wait a minute!
I was scold pretty bad today, actually.
My phone at office rang in this morning about my Internet business.
The customer did not tell me her name and started yelling at me suddenly.
She ordered our product and it did not arrived the day she arranged.
That’s our bad, so I will fly to Tokyo to apologize to her.
It is kinda scared but what else can I do?
Customer service is difficult, but I learned a lot from her claim today.
I immediately read through two books how to deal with customers who clam.
We are trying our best, but sometimes it does not go perfect, unfortunately…

Christmas season is the busiest season at our company since we sell cakes and ingredients for cakes.
However, I did not do overtime today!
Cuz I had a party at home!!
Christmas Eve had been a day to spend with a boyfriend but this year was different.
I spent Christmas Eve with our family, four of us.
We also celebrate my sis’s birthday, which was on December 20th.
I got soooooooo many Christmas presents.
I get excited to see the underneath of Christmas tree every year.

It is so nice to spend the special day with my family.
I talked with my dad today as my dad tonight, and it made me soo happy.
He had been my boss for a long time but not my father, and I thought I did not have my father anymore.
Seriously.
But my father was there!

It was pretty rough day at work, but it was very nice and warm night with my family.

Working on Saturday

Chose to Work

I was invited to a party in Tokyo from friends whom I went to Macau with.
(I gotta write about Macau trip, but I haven’t… oh well…)
I was going to fly to Tokyo, but decided not to.
I know that I have to enjoy being with my friends but now I feel that I should more concentrate on working.
Also I got tired more than I thought from Tokyo business trip yesterday.

I went to my parents’ to sign for a paper for my dad.
That was to get stocks for my dad’s company.
I feel guilty that I am secretly applying for another company.
What am I doing?

Today was my sis’s birthday.
She became 33 years old.
The more we get old, the better our relationship goes.
We still get in fight quite often, but I am happy to share lots of feelings with her.

Sis, thank you for being next to me all that time!

Board of Director Meeting

After A Long Meeting

I thought it would be difficult to get up this morning since I went to bed at 3 in the morning, but I made it.
However, I took taxi to go to work because I wanted to read my paper for meeting.
It was pretty long meeting but interesting.
I am getting used to this meeting.

After the meeting I went to my parents’ and had dinner with them.
And I went to massage place to get Shiatsu.
I go there every other week.
Ahhh, I am so sleepy although it is only 10 PM now.
I gotta get up early for shopping to go shopping!
I will go find what I want from Santa for this Christmas.
Santa, please stop here!

I Complain

Working With My Boss Is Not Easy

I had a quick meeting in this morning about pie shell.
Recently, we have several R&D meeting about each project.
I feel we had too many meetings, but we have to…
After the meeting, I attended a manager meeting from each department.
I was an amanuensis for the meeting.
And I went to restaurant to meet a chef to ask for a comment about our product.
I always get nervous to meet chefs, since I have to have certain knowledge about cooking about technical things and words.
He was nice and I learned a lot from him.
Meeting with lots of famous people is fun part about this job.

Since my day went quickly like this by doing many things, I was late for dinner tonight.
I went out to drink with 8 people from sale department from Tokyo branch and Nagoya branch.
People from sale department are funny.
They know how to entertain people because of their job.
They are tough and drink a lot.
We were all drunk and complained about my boss.
I should not have complained about my boss to them, but could not help since he was so hard on me lately.
I felt a little relief that everybody had the same impression about my boss and wondering how to treat him.

We went to Karaoke after dinner till 2 in this morning.
It is nice to hang out with them once in a while like this.
Ah, I wish I were a member of a sale department.

Working Outside

Working Out Of Office

It was foggy this morning.
Very rare!!
Made me miss San Francisco!

I am sooo tired today since I was out of office most of the day.
I went out to eat French restaurant which was just opened at a new building last month and waited for this reservation.
My assistant and I went to BENOIT by paying $40 for lunch.
It was more than good food and we had good time.
We will introduce this restaurant at the meeting on Saturday to Board of Directors.
Believe or not, this is part of our work.

This new building was cute.
Of course we did not have much time to look around, but took a picture of part of their architect

After eating too much at the restaurant, we went to a couple department store to check out new products.
Guess what, I found our pie product at one sweets section at one department store.
Two days in row!
I bought some and tasted them.
Don’t look that good in this picture, but were pretty good!

I ate more sweets which some of my assistants bought after this.
Oh my, I don't wanna eat anymore...

Becoming Famous

Our Product @ A Famous Restaurant

Yey!!
Our product is on a menu at a famous Japanese family restaurant from today!
The pie I put yesterday.
My assistant and I went to the restaurant and had the menu.
This is the part I like about my job.
Finding our product at actual store or restaurant make me happy.

We are getting bonus on 15th of this month.
So I have to explain all my assistants how I evaluate them.
I talked each of them one by one.
I am not sure all of them agreed but glad that I got it done.
It was hard because none of them got a good evaluation...

I went to gym tonight after work.
We ran really hard!
However, we went to eat from 11 at night.
What's the point to got to gym? I know...
But I felt pretty good by doing some exercise.
I gotta keep going to gym, "Gold Gym"!!

New Bath Style

Jr Meeting

Too many meeting every single day.
It is important to have meeting for each project, but I feel my day passes only for meetings and have hard time to carry things out.
Anyhooooo.
I left office little early and met up with my new friend I made from Tokyo.
She came to join Umeda Jr meeting with me.
It is a meeting for Jr who is running or who will run business in Osaka.
There are 38 to 40 mostly men joined the meeting and get to know each other for future connections in business.
We listened a speech from politician and it was really interesting.
Since she had to go back to Tokyo on that day after spending 3 hours in Osaka, I left the meeting with her.

Therefore, I could go home much earlier that I expected.
I drunk and drove today.
Bad….
Since I came home early enough, I could have nice bath time in a dark.
Very nice with aroma oil with lamp.

Somehow

Feeling Sad

I tried to cheer my boss up tonight because he was down today.
I went out to drink with him till 11:30.
I wanted to go home since I was tired, but I did for him!
However!!! what he did to me was not nice.
He kept telling me all the rumors like someone does not like me.
I was like, "Okay, are you like 5-year-old kid or something?"
I tried not to care, but hearing such a thing does not make me happy.

He mentioned a lot about my weak points and at the end when we go home, he said,
"You know? I am on your side."

Huh????
I beg your pardon??
Some people love to hurt someone's feeling like he does.
All his info is not right, so I should not trust him, but still I care.

I regret that I tried to cheer him up.
Wait, maybe I did cheer him up by letting him to hurt me.
Oh well...

Interview

Nice Interview

I had an interview as an interviewee.
Since I passed out with holding my pc last night, I was not ready for the interview.
I rushed to a hotel to have the interview and got there just on time or a little late.
Oh my god, it was sooo fun.
I love talking with people.
He was a nice guy and I could get relax.
It was one hour long.
I talked a lot about myself, and also I learned a lot about the company.
If I get the job, I will be able to move to the US.
I applied for a management position, but seems like that I would not start with management position right away.
Then, I wouls not get enough salary...
I really want to move to the US, but I have to make sure if the job is the one I really want.
I have not told my dad that I am looking for another job, so feel a little guilty.
But what can I say?
I think I want to see if I am acceptable by other company too.
I don't know...
I wil get the result and more detail about the position I would get, so I'll see.

I took this picture from Yahoo.
Today we had a smily face in a sky:)

It was too excited on getting interview, so I am very very tired today.
Maybe I was a little nervous for the interview...
I can sleep right now. ZZZ....

Small Sweets

Slow Monday

Monday is usually the busiest day of a week.
However, it was kinda slow today.
Very nice!!
Today is the first day of December in Japan.
Wow, time goes so fast...
Year 2008 will be over sooooooon. Nooooooo!!!!

What's new today...
Let's see... I decided to wear glasses much more from today.
I love glasses, have a lot and I just bought 2 pairs of glasses yesterday.
Still feel more comfortable wearing contact lenses even when I am sleeping.
However, lately my eyes hurt.
I will try to care my eyes for a while although I am not sure how long it will last.

I was thinking about relationship tonight in a bathtub.
Why is it so difficult and complicated?
And why do people mean to someone whom they love when they are in a relationship?
People are sometimes so cruel...
Men sometimes become cunning fellows and women are shrewd.
It is so random but somehow it was my topic at my bath time tonight.
Maybe because I figured out a shocking fact about my past today...
Hummmmmm.

BTW, the picture above is small sweets I decorate on my desk at my office lately.
I know it is too much, but cute, isn't it?

Okinawa Food

Dinner with Co-Worker

I had to take a train to work since I went out to drink last night.
I used to take a train every morning, but now it is something I hate.
I don't know why but I just got used to driving to work.

As I mentioned, I interviewed a foreigner today.
I thought he would be American, but he was actually from Brazil.
He spoke pretty good Japanese, but he was not someone whom I was looking for as my assistant.
It was interesting to meet through interviewing.
He was not the one, but I found the one and she will be working with me from next Monday.

I went out to drink with my co-worker.
He used to have my position, but moved to a different department.
It had been a while since the last time we talked in person.
We went to a restaurant which serves food in Okinawa.
It was pretty good.
He does not drink much, so I drunk for him.
It was fun and so nice to talk with him about a lot of stuff.

Drinking everyday make me be able to hold lots of alcohol.

Welcome To Out Club

R&D Department

This is all my team members!
We got a new person to our department, we all went out to drink.
We went out to drink also for Bounenkai.

Our department is getting all along well now.
Hopefully it will be more fun to work with them.

I am still sleepy from Macau trip.
Gotta go to bed.
I will have Bonenkai tomorrow night again...

Ordinal Day

Sleepy Day

I slept non-stop till this morning.
Since I got up too late, I had to take a cab to work…

Had lunch with my sis who just broke up with her boyfriend.
Poor my sis who got a childish and selfish boy.
I think it was good for her that they broke up.
I really wish she would find much better one soon.


I went to Hula lesson only for 30 min since I could not finish working earlier…
This is what we are practicing for Hula stage in March.
This is someone’s dancing which was on youtube.
I am confident that I can dance better than them. Haha.

Had junk food for dinner and now ready to go to bed.
Nothing much happened today, just an ordinal day but nice.

Lunch, Party and Bar

Eating and Drinking Whole Day

Had lunch with m second father, Maekawa-Kun, my father’s best friend.
He takes my sis and I for lunch sometime.
Mostly Sushi at fish market.
The best Sushi!!
Had Sushi a lot and went to café to have coffee and cakes.

Went to back to work, real world…
I was sleepy since I ate too much.

After work, I attended birthday party for employees of our company.
This time, employees who were born in October or November.
This was my fourth time for me to attend.
Wow, that means that I have worked for my dad for four years now…
It was quiet party but very nice opportunity for me to talk with employees whom I don’t talk usually.
Nice.
This was a part of our dinner at the party tonight.

After the party, I went to Jazz bar with my assistants and a co-worker.
All girls but drunk a lot.
Today's band was really nice.
5 of them play Jazz at such a small bar was so great!
It was quite a concert.
Had an apple salad which the master of the Jazz bar make.
It was yummy.

One of my assistants came to apt to spend a night tonight since we drunk till too late to go back her parents' home.

I ate and drunk too much, seriously.
How can I go on a diet?
But it was such a fun nice day!
