With New Items
I went to work with a pair of new suits today.
It seems like I look skinny in that suits, so I got lots of good comment today, and made me feel good whole day.
It is important to be happy especially because it is Monday, the first day of the week.
I wore a new orange necklace, but it seems like it looked really cheap.
It costed $80 US! But people said it looks like $10!
Ah, maybe I should not bought…
I did not were these shoes today, but these are the shoes I bought the other day, which I love!
I can’t wait to wear them!
The only reason I did not wear today was because it rained today.
I worked quite hard today, but there were so many people who talked to me at work, so it was hard to do everything I wanted to do in order.
I was going to go to gym tonight, but a girl who works for me came to me and she said she needed to talk.
She looked serious, so we decided to go for dinner instead of going to gym.
Then she said, “My boyfriend broke up with me”
I expected that she was going to talk about work, so I was surprised, but at the same time, I felt happy that she trusts me like this.
She talked to me how she felt, and I tried really hard to cheer her up.
I really think after you got a broken heart, you can be much stronger.
I told her being broken up is better than breaking up.
She is a pretty and nice girl, so she should be find and will find a nicer person, I hope.
Boys and girls relationship is hard!
Being boss is interesting.
We discuss lots of stuff including their love relationship.
Fashion And Food Are Similar
I went shopping for a dress I will wear for my best friend’s wedding.
My best friend, Masaru, will have a wedding the end of March.
So I decided to go shopping and ended up to buy simple dress at DKNY.
I love DKNY lately.
I bought lots of clothes there in Hawaii too.
The reason was that I saw so many DKNY clothes on Vogue, which my uncle bought for me from the US.
They were all cute on the magazine, and I got crazy about their clothes.
I went shopping by my car today.
I drive to anywhere lately.
Driving around city is fun, and I like the time in my car.
I can think lots of things while I am driving.
I went to Japanese restaurant with my parents tonight.
Look how beautiful the presentation was!
Tomorrow will be a girl’s day so they did this presentation for appetizer.
I think food is great because it can amaze people by their looking and taste.
Maybe this is why we care about fashion too.
When you see a girl who dresses nice, then you wanna know her.
And if you can figure out she got a nice heart, then you would be amazed.
Food and fashion are similar.
Isn’t it an interesting point?
Casual Saturday
I totally misunderstood that today was casual Saturday.
Because whenever I go to work on Saturday for meeting, I wear casual clothes.
I went to work with black half pants, long boots, white shirt and black turtleneck sweater, and moreover black net pantyhose.
When I got into the office, I got freaked out.
Everyone wore pair of suits like weekdays.
Dang it! I soon realized that I made such a big mistake…
I stated interviewing all people in my department under me.
It was interesting to listen all their problems.
One of a man below me got promoted one position today.
I had never gone out to eat with him by ourselves, but I decided to celebrate him like I was done by my boss.
He is 39 years old and I felt weird to take him out as a boss, but I did.
We had such a good conversation, and it was good method to know him and other employee’s feeling.
It might take a while to understand all the employees, but I wanna know them little by little by talking one on one.
I could never thought me doing this kind of things soon after I got back from the US.
Very Japanese.
After I had dinner with Mr. Horiguchi, I saw my friend, Mitsunori, who just opened noodle place.
We went to my bar from late at night.
He is struggling getting lots of customers and I really could understand how he feels about it.
We were at bar as the last guests tonight and went to have a cup of coffee afterwards.
It is very interesting to listen stories about opening business, even it is a little restaurant.
I wish I could help them but I feel disappointed that I don’t have anything to do.
The only thing I can do is listening to them…
Friends are corporate each other like listening each other when one of us is down maybe, I hope…
Anyway, I am sooooo sleepy and getting so excited to sleep now.
Missing Long Nails
I have been thinking to make my nails short, but never did.
These are the craziest I have ever done, right before I cut my nails.
I always wanted to polish my nails black so I did only for two and a half week I was in the US on business. (I know these are not appropriate nails for business trip either, but were a great hook when I talked with people!)
In food industry, to get customer’s trust, long nails are not appropriate.
However, I insisted that I could keep my nails long because I was not the one who cooks or who sells our products.
Once my boss asked me, “What would you do if I tell you to cut your nails or at least make them simple?”
I answered, “If it will be an order, I would obey you without understanding.”
Seriously, I did not mind to make my nails simple or short if that would affect my work as a professional businessperson, but I could not see any reasons unless I move to other department.
I cut my nails like this in a picture the other day.
First, I did not feel comfortable to show my nails since it was like I am walking outside without any clothes.
I still want to make my short nails neat from now on.
Because I think sometimes people judge you by looking especially in Japan at business situation.
They look how shiny my shoes are and how well I dress to be looked professional.
By looking at my fashion style, they try to see what kind of person I am.
I can’t be too fancy, but I also can’t be too boring or miserable to make other person feel attracted to me.
When I first started working in Japan, I was amazed how much it cost to meet their needs.
Now I have tons of suits, but not shoes.
I was just mentioned how bad I am looked with my old miserable shoes…
Right now I am too broke to get nice pair of shoes.
Anyway, I wrote a lot about how I have to dress at my company, but the reason why I did my nails simply because I loved it.
It was fun to keep them long and got arrangement.
I cut my nails only because I wanted to keep my nail healthy!
However, I have missed my long nails sooooo much.
I might go back again soon!
I could write this long entry with nail topic, so can you tell how much I am crazy about nails!!??
My New Glasses
Since I have bad eyesight, I usually wear contact lenses.
I wanted to wear glasses when I was a little kid.
I thought wearing glasses is something special.
However, once I wore glasses all the time, I hated it.
I started wearing contact lenses, and did not care about glasses anymore.
Since I was eighteen, I started caring about glasses.
My old boyfriend was such a fashion freak so he always tried to be fashionable.
One day, he took me to one cool store specialized to glasses.
He did not have bad eyesight, but he wanted to get one, so we decided to get one for each.
Since then, I never bought my glasses at any other places.
I fell in love with the store with the variety of their collections.
Since I realized the first one were too fashionable for me and were not useful for my daily life, I went back there a couple years later and got another one.
On the next day I got them, my little puppy bit my glasses and I could not wear them anymore.
I really liked the glasses, so I went back there and bought exact the same one.
Since then, I had not been to the store for about 5 years.
I went back to the store the end of 2006, and bought this pair of glasses.
Soon after I got in, the owner asked me, “Oh, you came back from the US?” and he remembered my name!
I like the store because of their collection, and moreover, I like the married couple who own the store. They provide special service to all their customers.
