Freezing Spring in Tokyo
Since I attended my friend’s wedding yesterday, I decided to stay a night and work in Tokyo today before I go back to Osaka.
I went to Snoopy café in Yokohama, which was just opened a couple days ago.
It was horrible café.
I can’t believe that they charge 15-20 average per person with nasty cold food.
They just used snoopy plates and cups, but other than that, nothing was snoopy!!
Also the operation was horrible.
I was thinking that I would do much better if I were the owner of this café…
Today it was really really cold rainy day for walking around.
So I went back to Tokyo soon after I ate lunch at the café.
I do a job for public relations now.
I had an appointment with a journalist who writes articles on a magazine.
He wanted to write an article about our products for free.
It took one and a half hour interview, and it was actually fun.
I talked the same story about our products so many times, but more I talk, the better I talk, I think.
Well, I think I am quite positive today.
Monday is a day, which I get motivated the most.
I took a bullet train back to Osaka tonight.
I hate taking bullet train.
Cold and long.
Lately, I go on lots of business trips, but the hardest part is the transportation.
There was a guy who snored soooo loud today.
First, I thought,
“Yeah, I understand. You must be tired. You could not help drinking beer in a bullet train as a tiring salary man. That made you snore. Yeah, I understand”
However, after five minutes, since he never stopped snoring, and it was continually and loud, I started frustrating.
I was like,
“I know you are tired, but it is enough!!”
You would not believe, but it was ridiculously loud, which even bored me to sleep.
I wonder if I do the same thing as him.
Well, but it was the loudest ever though…
Happy Wedding Sunday
I woke up early this morning to leave to Tokyo to attend my best friend’s wedding.
I was excited about the wedding, but at the last minute, I started worrying about my dress.
I wasn’t sure if I was wearing the right dress for wedding.
Since I am always late for everything, I was about to be late for the wedding today.
I did not pay attention the schedule on the invitation card I got…
However, I was able to attend the ceremony at a chapel so I felt relived!
Worrying about time is always hassle and makes me tired more than necessary.
I should learn how to be on time someday soon.
Anyway, Masaru’s wedding ceremony was great.
I was so moved at the ceremony.
Somehow I had a weird feeling, hard to explain, but maybe because I was a friend of the groom.
Different feeling from the wedding ceremonies I attended for my girl friends.
Whenever I attend the ceremony at a chapel, I always think that wedding is such a big deal.
There are some couples who never had a wedding, but I think people should do a ceremony even it were a small one.
After the ceremony, we attended their wedding party with having luxury lunch.
The bride, Aki, changed to a pink dress from the wedding dress.
She is such a sweet girl who cares people so much.
I had met her only once before this wedding, but I felt that I would like her a lot.
I feel happy when my friends get married with someone who is nice and someone whom I would be able to get along with.
These people in the picture above are the member of my table at the party.
People who attended his wedding party were global.
All people who were at my table could speak English including the two gentlemen from Germany.
The young guy is SPI, I heard.
We talked about crimes at the wedding.
After the party, more of their friends came to the hotel and had a cocktail party.
I could see some old friends from University of Denver, so it was like a reunion.
Almost all friends I got to know at the school now became great business men/women.
There are so many things I could learn from them and I am lucky that I have so many connections through them now at a business situation.
I was introduced more people who graduated from DU before I entered the school.
We went out to drink after the cocktail party by ourselves with 13 people.
Masaru, groom, joined us at the end and some of us went back to his hotel and had pink champagne at a bar which was located on the highest floor.
Great view and nice champagne!
Today, I drunk and talked so much.
What a good day.
I am glad that I was invited his wedding, and I think I became happy too by seeing the happiest couple today.
Housesitting With Darch
I got up at 10 o’clock like I wished last night.
After I got up, I did not feel like doing anything, so I had been just a lazy person.
When I know that I have to do something, I become such a lazy person who tried to do that much later.
I knew that I should go to my office but I didn’t want to.
So I stated my day from late this afternoon.
I went to work to do some paper work which I could not finish before I went out with my friends last night.
I stated exchanging notes with my assistants.
They turn in a note to let me know what they did on the day, how long it took, what they are going to do on the next day, and any comments what they felt.
They turn in everyday before they leave office, and I write back to them and give them back on the next day.
I wrote back all comments today at office.
I am not sure if this is a good idea or not, but so far it works.
My parents are in Tokyo tonight, so I came to my parents’ house to do house-sitting.
I ate something I found in a refrigerator.
And watched TV with Darch, my little dog.
We got bored and took some pictures.
These are my feet which are still so painful from yesterday.
I am flying to Tokyo tomorrow morning to attend my best friend’s wedding.
Excited!!
Missed My Step
I went to Kyoto to visit one company from this morning.
After I got off from the train, I was talking on the phone about my work, and I did not pay attention to the exit I took.
Once I got out from the station, I realized that I took a wrong exit.
I looked forward while I was talking on the phone then I fell off from my knees.
It was so painful, but I kept talking on the phone, and I bet he did not realized that I fell.
I looked back and saw there was a big step, and realized that I missed my step.
There were so many notes said, “Watch out your step!”, but I did not pay attention at all.
I hung up on the phone and before I made another call, I looked my knees and saw there was a big hole on my pants.
I was shocked and my knee was bleeding so badly.
The worst thing was that I had to go visit a company with my pants suits which had a big hole.
Soon after I greeted people at the company, I excused that I fell on the way to come to the company.
I felt horrible…
Also after I went back to my office, everyone mentioned that my pants had a hole.
Each time I had to tell the story.
I am so embarrassed to tell them how careless I was…
After work, I went to Thai restaurant with my friends from Hula lesson.
I was late for 30 mins but when I got there, they even did not drink at all.
I can’t believe that they did not order for 30 minutes.
They said the Thai waitress got mad at them because there were people who waited to be seated just before I got in.
Anyway, the Thai restaurant was good, but very spicy.
This week I had hot Korean, Italian, and this hot Thai.
Quite variety of food I am eating.
Getting fat.
Can’t stop eating lately…
After we had dinner, we went to café, and talked for a long time, and I got home midnight tonight.
I am soooo sleepy.
We had such a fun time by talking so many things.
All girls’ talk which we can’t let any other people to listen.
I hope other customers there did not listed to us.
Sometimes girls’ talk is fun, although I usually don’t do much.
Since I have not know the girls from the Hula lesson much yet, it was interesting to listen to their lives.
I am happy that this week has gone now.
Well, I still have to go to my office tomorrow a bit, though.
Anyway, I just need to sleep now cuz I am soooo crazy and hopefully I can sleep till 10 or something tomorrow.
Party To Celebrate A Success Of Conventions!
I am drunk.
All members in Osaka who joined two conventions we exhibit last February and March got together tonight.
We went to shitty Italian restaurant close to our office.
11 of us had such a good time.
I had a headache since I laugh too hard.
We went to Karaoke afterwards.
It has been a while since the last time I went to Karaoke.
We had such a good time.
The members who went to Karaoke after dinner were all young.
So I felt like I went back to my high school days.
I took cab with all other people who live close to my apt.
Ahhh, I can’t stay up any later tonight.
Dinner With My Friends From College
This is not Pizza.
This is Korean Pancakes called Kimuchi Chijimi.
I went to dinner with my friends from college in Japan.
One of them is now pregnant, and I felt a little weird to see her big stomach.
I am so looking forward to seeing her baby!!
Today I had a pretty good day because of my new assistant.
He works really well and our combination is pretty good.
We are doing research for something in the US now.
Nobody could do any faster than we did.
We talked a bit by ourselves before I left office today.
He asked me not to make him go to the US with me on April 23rd.
I asked him if that is his anniversary or something.
He said, “no, but important day”.
I did not ask him any more because I don’t think I should know.
But now I am kinda worried.
Maybe he will have a job interview on that day?
I might ask him tomorrow although once I told him that I did not wanna know.
Because it would be a big deal for me if he will leave our company!
It is always nice to see my old friends.
Whenever we get together, we can go back to our old age.
Now each of us lives in a different world, but we are still good friends.
It is fun to listen to somebody else’s life which I never have experienced.
We went to Café after the dinner.
There were so many foreigners at the café.
The guy who took our order was very cute so we asked him where he was from.
We were all surprised that he was from Colombia, who can speak Japanese very fluently.
I ordered an apple pie but it was totally different from the picture, so bitched about it.
However, they did not care what I said.
Their sweets were not good at all.
I bet they make a lot of money by the cute foreign waiters but not by their food or sweets.
Humnnnnn.
No Exercise But Junk Food
I left my office early enough to go to Hula lesson today.
When I got there, the floor was no lights on.
I did not know that we did not have lesson today since I was absent from the last two lessons this month.
I called my Hula mates, and she said she sent text to me...
I did not realized.
Damn it...
So I went home early to do something for myself.
I was kinda hungry.
In a car, I was thinking if I should get rice balls from a convenience store or get junk food from Mac Donald's.
Since I am lazy, I decided to do drive through, so that I did not have to get out from a car and walk.
It was funny that nobody said anything at the place I suppose to order for drive through.
So I decided to drive down to the window, where I suppose to get my food, and ordered there and waited in a car.
I wonder why they did not realize my car for 3 minutes while I was waiting.
Anyway I got fried chicken and french fries so that I did not have to wait that long.
Ah, I should cook, but there are only chocolates and beer in my refrigerator now...
Felt guilty so I was thinking to do something at home to burn calories.
However, I think I am going to bed now, although it is only 9 PM now.
I can sleep a lot lately.
What a lazy life.
