What Am I Going To Do?
I took 8AM flight to go to Tokyo this morning.
Getting up early is no longer hard for me lately.
I was going to go see somebody, but I did not have appointments, so soon after I got to the airport, I called several companies to get appointments.
However, I could not get enough appointments.
Most of them were in other countries for work.
It seems like there is a big Organic convention in Germany right now.
So I have to come to Tokyo next week too to see them.
I went to check Healthy items at convention in Tokyo.
It was okay convention; I got a couple ideas from the convention.
When I saw a buyer at one grocery store, my boss suddenly joined me and judged me after the appointment.
He did not give me a good comment, which made me so upset.
I argued with my boss and he tried to make it up and took me to café.
The café was called, “Café Bun”, which made me happy.
Because “Bun” is sort of my nickname.
I wanted to get this cup!
I attended a meeting and left Tokyo at 7:30PM by bullet train.
I hate taking bullet train, because it takes 2 and a half hour to go back to Osaka, although it only takes 50 mins by airplane.
Anyway, because I was bored in a bullet train, I was thinking lots of things.
Like, “What am I going to do in near future?”
I have to go to work tomorrow too, so I was thinking about work for an hour, but soon I was thinking about my future.
I was going to do nothing tomorrow, but it seems like I have to go to work.
My current job is exciting, but it never ends.
And I know this is not something I am good at or something I wanna do forever.
I want to work in a hospitality business.
I want to take care of somebody, and I think I would like to think how to make customers happy.
Not a desk work or control many workers, but I just wanna concentrate on myself to do good service to people.
If I get the job, I would make less money than now, but it would make me happy.
I have to start thinking what I am going to do.
Should I take emotional satisfaction or financial satisfaction??
Too Busy To Feel Jetlag
I was too busy to take any pictures today.
So I took a can of Spam which I got from Hawaii.
I love Spam rice ball!
Today I had to be surprised at piles of papers and tons of e-mails.
It was incredible.
I took so much time to check all e-mails and response to each of them.
Time went so fast today.
I had testing of so many kinds fo sweets already for work, so I did not eat dinner tonight.
I had a couple of appointments and several meetings already.
I should not complain this time, because I was inda on vacation till yesterday.
Therefore working hard after vacation is something I should do without complaining, I know.
Normally, when I come back from the US, I get jetlag, but I had not time for it today.
I wanted to go home early, but unfortunately, since I was out of office for conventions and Hawaii trip for more than a week, all the projects of our team were behind.
So I did overtime, and I was late for English lesson.
Yes, I had my student at home tonight.
It was the last lesson since he is going to graduate college.
I will miss him.
It was hard for me to keep teaching after work, but it was such a good experience.
I appreciate him.
My boss suddenly decided to make me go to Tokyo on business tomorrow.
Ahhhhh, lately, I can’t stay in Osaka much.
I gotta go to a convention and research for Organic and see some people.
I will have a meeting at late at night there too, so maybe I should stay a night there, but I will come home.
So it will be just a day trip.
I don’t want to d anything this weekend.
Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!
Back To Japan
This is sky in Hawaii.
I left Hawaii afternoon on 26th.
And I was on an airplane for 11 hours, although it took only 6 and a half hour to get to Hawaii from Japan.
And this is sky in Japan.
We got here at 7PM on 27th.
I am soooo tired.
Gotta go to bed soon and get ready for tomorrow for work!
Good Bye Hawaii
I woke up 7 in this morning, and had breakfast buffet.
We left hotel at 10AM and left to the airport.
We did last shopping, and posted some picture cards.
I really had a good time in Hawaii.
I feel myself so lucky that I could travel with all my colleagues.
We took North West again, and it was horrible like the way to go to Hawaii.
This time my seat was next to my roommate.
We chat a lot and had a good time.
Taking picture on the airplane is the last thing I do.
It is such a tourist thing.
I travel a lot, so now I feel embarrassed to take picture in the airplane.
But we did.
And It is kinda nice picture.
Being normal tourist is not that bad.
It just annoyed a lot of local people.
Anyway, I feel sad that I have to say good bye to Hawaii.
I always love Hawaii.
I will be back to Hawaii soon, I hope!
Don’t Wanna Go Home
Today, we woke up early and went to “The Original Pancake House” which is my favorite Pancake place in America.
Five of us went to the place and had 5 kinds of panckes.
Of course we got hella full.
So we decided to walk to shopping center and took a walk for an hour.
And we went back to beach and hung out by the beach.
We all bought new bathing suits and we wanted to show off.
We were going to go there only with girls, but of course there were male colleagues around the beach close to our hotel.
So we were kinda embarrassed.
I was the only one who has dark skin, so I got lots of sun tanning.
And we went back to hotel to take a shower, and left to “Cheese Cake Factory”.
Look how messy our table was.
We ate many kinds of cheesecakes like we do at work.
We have to taste each of them, so we used our own folks and took a bite from each cheesecake.
We were totally full and I had a stomachache because of eating too much.
But I was so happy to lied down in a beach and took a nap there on Monday, which we always work.
And we could take a shower as many times as we want, and had alcohol from daytime.
How nice it was!
Everyone went off to shopping, so I decided to take Lomi Lomi massage.
I went to Spa and took it for on hour.
I felt sooooo good.
And I went back to a shopping mall, and had dinner there.
I threw up at night by the way, not because of drinking too much, but I had upset stomach.
This happened last night too.
How come I can’t control how much I eat…
On the way back to hotel from the restaurant, we did some more shopping and went back to hotel at 11PM.
Most of stores in Hawaii open till 11PM.
From 11PM till 2AM now we stayed at one room and chat.
The guy who kept talking was hilarious.
Everyone was sleepy, but nobody could stop him.
It was like a trip that we had in high school days.
We have to go home tomorrow, but I don’t want to.
I don’t have confidence to go back to work from the next day we go back to Osaka.
Anyway, I should go to bed not to be late for tomorrow meeting in the morning.
Shopping and Eating
My roommate woke up at 6 and left to diving lesson.
I woke up at 8:30 and had breakfast buffet at the hotel.
I went to Alamoana Shopping Center and did lots of shopping.
I bought such a cute dress at DKNY, and also I bought other stuff too.
I saw a DKNY dress on Vogue and I was dreaming to get it.
I tried it on, but it looked like I am pregnant, so I bought a different one which is even cuter.
I had Jamba juice which I missed a lot.
Banana Berry!! It tasted good as usual!
I wonder why they don’t sell it in Japan!
I forced lots of my colleagues to have one.
After shopping, I went to Italian restaurant with my bosses and their wives.
We had Italian, and I was in charge of ordering.
I talked with my dad about the menu beforehand, so I ordered well, but they were too much.
And also I got pretty drunk after I said goodbye to them.
Probably, I was a little nervous in front of my bosses.
I checked my e-mails and I saw some boys from our company.
They saw my shopping bag and asked me where the store is located, so I took them to the store.
Lots of walking and eating in Hawaii.
So far, I had such a good time in Hawaii, which might be the best time in Hawaii ever.
We are going to “The Original Pancake House” tomorrow morning and will go to beach.
I bought bikinis last night, so I can’t wait to wear them!
Hula Girls On A Stage
I started washer for my laundry last night, and before it got done, I fell a sleep.
I was so tired, but I got up at 4AM and took all my laundries out from the washer and dried them, and checked all e-mails.
After the mess, I went back to sleep and got up at 9AM.
I packed my suitcase for Hawaii and left to have lunch with my sister.
I hung out with her for a while and left to the airport.
I was not excited about this Hawaii trip much, because I was not interested in traveling all the people from work.
However, after busy days from convention, I was getting so excited and was looking forward to going to Hawaii with them.
I had to take Northwest airline which is the last airline I choose.
I don’t like their service and I think their airplane is cheap.
All of us sat in a group, and I sat next to a huge guy who smelled like sweat.
I feel bad that I don’t know his name, but I talked with him nicely for a while.
Since our flight was only for 6 and half hours, I was rushed to get a sleep.
Because we were going to get to Hawaii at 8:30 AM, I thought I would get a bad jetlag.
So I was sleeping but the guy split a glass of water ON me.
I asked a stewardess to give me a new blanket, but she blamed on me saying that I overreact with water.
She goes, “It’s just water. Let it go”.
Her behavior pissed me off.
I told her, “I am not a kid, so I know it is just a water and it would get dry. But it is wet now, and I feel uncomfortable. Do you have a new blanket?”
I argued with her a while and decided to write a comment card.
I can’t believe people who are in a hospitality business do such a bad behavior!!
Anyway, we arrived at Hawaii and of course, I was stopped at the immigration.
It happens a lot lately because I have so many stamps on my passport.
It is such a hassle all the time.
After we left the airport, we took a sightseeing bus and did sightseeing and shopping.
It was fun to see all my colleagues’ private style.
Most of their fashion is out of the day.
They wear suits all the time, so they don’t have good taste for their private clothes.
Kinda funny.
We had 100 year anniversary party for our company at Hyatt in Waikiki outside.
8 of us danced Hula with Ukulele players and singers.
Everyone wanted to take a picture with us, and we were like famous star.
People praised my dance since I was the only one who has practiced Hula for 2 years, and other practiced only 2 days.
I could talk with a lot of my bosses and colleagues and had such such a good time.
My dad and mom were there too.
After the party, my roommate and I went out to town.
All the stores open till 10or 11PM, unbelievable!
We shopped a lot and had ice cream at Cold Stone!
I missed all this American life!
It is soooo fun.
I think I can getaway from work for these 3 nights!
Yeahhhhhhh!!!
