Relaxing Sunday

Sleepying Is Important

I could not go to bed early last night somehow.
I think I was too excited from the night which I met so many old friends at the same time.
Soon after I got up at noon, I got ready and went to Spa.
Going to Spa is sort of my habit, which I think I deserve.
Very relaxing but I will stop going there soon because of my other interests.

After going to Spa, I did some shopping in downtown.
Recently, while I am walking, shopping or doing anything, I think about my new projects.
It is so much fun to think about it.

Had dinner at my parents’ and got this bracelet.
It was sent to my parent’s house last night.
It does not look my style, but I really really like it.
I am so excited to wear it to work tomorrow.

I came back to my apt pretty early, so I started clean my room, did dishes, and did laundry.
Ah, I feel that I had not been at my apt for a long time.
So nice to be at home.
Gotta get up early tomorrow for a morning meeting.
I will get ready for tomorrow and go to bed early tonight.
Now I know that sleeping is really important for everything.

Brazilian Wedding

Brazilian Wedding


I woke up in a tiny hotel room this morning with hangover by phone ring from someone.
My face was puffed up and looked pretty bad.
I had to get ready and had to go back to Osaka cuz I supposed to have a meeting with my boss.
I could sleep in a bullet train pretty good.
I went straight to my office in Osaka and worked for a while.
Then, I got back to my apt and got ready for my friend’s party.
At Brazilian restaurant in Kobe.

He, Shin, is my friend from college.
Most of my girl friends have got married so now it is my boy friends’ turn to get married.
He is the most romantic boy whom I have ever met in my life.
His story about his proposal for marriage was so cute and really dramatic, which made me not smile, but laugh.
She grew up in Brazil and they met in Brazil.
Now she graduated from school so came to Kobe to be with him.
Both of them are Japanese, but they both speak Portuguese perfectly.
Interesting.
He is such a sweet guy, who care about others so much.
This girl is really lucky to be with with this guy.

Their wedding party was very Portuguese-like.
Very fun and easy.
There are so many of Shin including some professional football player from Brazil.
He is a son of the player.
He was sooooooo cute!

It was really like college-reunion.
There were some people whom I had not met for almost 10 years.
Interesting to hear what they do now for money.
We decided to keep in touch from now on.
Glad that they said that I have not changed from my college days.
Still look young!?

It was such a nice party and I could get relax so much.

Successful People

Saw As Many People As I Could


I had been in Tokyo o business for two nights.
I come to Tokyo for sales, meeting, or seminar most of the time, but this time was different.
I met so many successful people.

On 23rd,
I visited a lady who works at a branding company.
She had lived in France for some years, and now she helps me with the idea for opening a store in the US.
I love her characteristic so much.

I saw a nutrition for pets, who has been successful in that field.
She was also successful in NY too.
She is a tough lady, but really nice lady.

On 24th,
I met a 60-year-old lady who is very very successful in food industry in Japan.
She is from Hawaii and she can speak so many languages.
It was very interesting to listen to her story about the time she opened her business 36 years ago.

I took a cooking class with a daughter of a Japanese famous sweets company.
Cuz we got introduced a man who is a founder of the biggest cooking school in Japan.
The picture above is him.
I cooked with him, and I bet nobody would agree that it is a part of my job to take a cooking class.
But it was.

I had dinner with the daughter, a man who works at a big broker company and two more interesting boys.
One is the same age as mine.
He opens his own business in Shanghai by himself when he was 24 years old and being successful.
I learned a lot from him how to open a business outside of our company.
The other is a web designer, but actually the owner of a host-club.
Both are young but they have a strong visions, which made me realize that I have not thought enough.

Seeing lots of successful people are interesting, but to be honest, also tiring.
Some motivate me, but the other depresses me.
It was interesting long Tokyo business trip.

Ewwwww

What We Saw in an Aquarium

Ewwww, originally uploaded by yikada.

This is a part of family of eel.
I thought it was weird, but interesting.
I had never liked an aquarium, but I love zoo much more.
However, I learned an aquarium is fun place to go.

We watched Dolphin stage, and it was so cute and fun too!

Fun TimeWith My Sis

Second Day in Okinawa


My sister and I got in fight a lot.
However, during this trip, we did not argue about anything.

Driving With My SiS, originally uploaded by yikada.

We did sightseeing togehter.
We went to Spa together.
We ate good food together.
We shop togehter.
We danced together.
We went to an aquarium together.
We chat a lot during this trip.

I did not know it was this much fun to travel with my sister.

Hello Okinawa

First Day in Okinawa

I went to Okinawa with my sister from last Friday to Sunday.
It was the first time for me to take PTO and also first time to travel with my sis by ourselves.
Look! Doesn't it look like Hawaii??
Yeah, Okinawa made me miss Hawaii so much!!

It rains hard pretty often in Okinawa.
It doesn't rain for a long time, but it suddenly starts rainging there.
We rent-a-car and it rains so hard on the way from the airport to our hotel.
I saw this jeep next to us, and thought a Japanese jeep buff was driving.
But it was actually American army's jeep.
It was real.
I wonder what they were doing...
When I took a couple pictures, they stared at me, so I got scared...
Seriously, there are so many Americans in Okinawa.

This is our welcome fruit in cour room.
We stayed at such a great hotel!
Huge room, huge beds, nice, view, and a big balcony.
Oh my god, the sound of the ocean made me be sleepy so much.
I went to bed at 9:30 at night.
Ah, what a luxuary trip!

After 3 Months

Wow...

Wow... it’s been three month since the last time I wrote.
I feel like it has been like a year or more.
For this three month, I had so many different experiences.
Good and bad. Worst and best.
If I write all of them here now, it will be such a long entry, so I won’t.
Anyway, I finally feel like starting this blog again.

Now I am happy, because now I know what I am doing and what I will do in near future.

I woke up at 5 in this morning with my heart beating so fast.
Somehow, I was that exited to start my week today.
It sounds crazy, and it had never happened before so I was surprised myself.
I came up a really good idea last night, and I was thinking to work on writing report this morning.
And actually it was so much fun for me to work today whole day.

Sometimes I HATE working, but sometimes I get crazy on working.
I know I don’t want to work forever, but I want to do my best now.
I get on elevator to go up to my room.
Sometimes I have to wait a while.
I know what I want the best by what I am thinking while I am waiting for the elevator.
Sometimes I think nothing, which means that I don’t want anything.
Sometimes I think about my family, my boyfriend, and lately I think about my work a lot.
To be honest, this job is not what I really want to do to live, but I have to.
I have to get something big soon, so I have to get really good result now before I leave.
It is my life, but I have to care what other people think about my life.
Not only for me, but also for my family.
Complicated.
I felt miserable about it before, but now I am happy because at least I can get excited about what I am doing right now.
I don’t know how long this feeling would last…


By the way, this is a picture of Quiche, which is French dish.
Quiche is one of projects which I am working on.
I like this project the second.
Tasting quiches is horrible for a girl who wants to loose weight…

Anyway.
Kinda feel good to write.
I gotta get up early tomorrow again.
