First Day of Work

今日はH&M初出勤でした~

朝9時~午後の6時まで・・・・働いてきました!

感想は・・・楽しかった!感動した!

という、二言ですね。

もちろん大変で、たくさん間違えたけど、ずっとやりたかった仕事だったし、気持ち悪いけど勤務中ずっと、ニコニコしてました~

朝一からレジとか言われて、本当に焦ったけど、楽しかった!でも12時くらいからピークで、1時間常にレジ打ってた感じで、大変だった!笑

1時から1時半まで昼食べて、そのあとはフィッティングルームでご案内!

フィッティングルームのご案内はマニュアル通りに従えばいいから、あまり難しくなかったけど、常にお客様の案内して動いてたから、肉体的にかなりきつかった!

そして、3時からまたレジへ・・・・

またピークのときに、レジになってしまって、緊張して、超汗かいてたけど、なんかクレジットカードの対応やらフォルディングやら早くなって、慣れたからよかった!

外国のお客様も少なくはなくて、英語も使えて、本当に良かった!

「英語うまいですね」

とか言われたのがかなり自信につながったね!

これからも頑張ろうと本当に思った!!

あとは日本語の練習だな!笑

次の出勤は木曜日!

それまでにちゃんといろいろ反省して、練習しよう!

これからが本当に楽しみ!

なんか私のことばっかになっちゃったけど、そんな一日でした~!

Hope you guys had a good day too!

Ciao!

Busy. Busy. Busy.

Just found out my schedule for the Autumn Semester!
Looks like I'm gonna be pretty busy!
Hope I can keep up!
Will be working on Wednesdays and the weekends!
Yikes!

"The Motorcycle Diaries"

These days, I've been seriously contemplating what kind of boots to buy for this fall/winter.
As much as I want another pair of Minnetonkas or UGGS, I feel they are just way too popular and casual. And plus, I've already got Minnetonka boots and UGG boots.
These kind of biker boots are probably more suitable for me. I can work in them as well cause they are flat. What do you think?!
Frye Boots

Ash Boots

Jimmy Choo Boots










Help me find a pair!
I have yet to come across a reasonable pair that is of good quality!
If you find a place that sell nice biker boots, please tell me!
Ciao!

Team Victoria

I don't care what people think.....

I LOVE VICTORIA BECKHAM!!

I don't know why so many people have a thing against her.

I think she is so nice, beautiful and talented.

GO VICTORIA! *hehe*










Ciao!

"No Day But Today"

Love everything about this song. Beautiful.
Anyone who has watched RENT will know what I am talking about but when this song plays at the end after Mimi wakes up, I can't help but smile...or cry....or even do both.

This is the cast of Rent (The Movie) singing Finale B on Good Morning America.


MARK
There is no future
There is no past

ROGER
Thank God this
Moment's no the last

MIMI & ROGER
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or
Life is yours to miss

ALL
No other road no other way
No day but today

WOMEN
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal
Is just to be

MEN
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare

WOMEN
Without You
The hand gropes
The ear hears
The pulse beats
Life goes on
But I'm gone

MEN
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way

WOMEN
Cause I'd die
Without you
I die without you

MEN
No day but today

ALL
NO DAY BUT TODAY!!

HELP!!

So I start working at H&M this weekend......

And whilst I am super psyched, I am also very scared and nervous.

H&M has been my dream part-time job for a while now and I really hope that I do well.

The thing that has been worrying me the most for the past few days is what I am going to wear everyday.

Although one of the staff told me to wear whatever I want as long as it doesn't go against the rules on the handbook, a part of me really feels the need to brush up my style......

Just because it's a clothing store I will be working for. Not a restaurant, not a cafe, not at a cram school or an accessory store. People are always going to be looking around, looking at you for new ideas and styles. And in probably most cases, people will be judging you in their heads (like I do when I go to apparel stores!)

That thought just freaks me out. So of course what I need right now is inspiration.

Thanks to an amazing site called LOOKBOOK, I am bound to find millions of sources of inspiration.

LOOKBOOK never disappoints.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Oh wow, it's been a while! *hehe*
I thought I was doing quite well with my blog but looks like I'm still the same old me!

Anyways, since my last blog I've been up to a few things!

First things first, I am officially employed!!!
Couldn't be more excited to work for the one and only H&M! I start working next week.....should be fun! I am extremely nervous though!

And at the end of August, I went to Okinawa with my uni friends, Mina, Miku, Joseph and Lorna! It was so much fun!! Some epic memories were made! *hehe* I will blog more about that in my next post....

On Saturday, I went to Oizumi's school festival! It was fun and made me nostalgic! Meeting people I haven't met for a while was suprisingly refreshing!

With Aihara and Rie!
These two never change! Had a really good time talking to them!

Risa and I!
We were wearing the same shorts from ZARA! *hehe*
I missed you Risa!

And yesterday I went out with two close friends, Marina and Yurina!
I feel after graduation we have gotten closer than before. These two know how to have a good time and I ALWAYS look forward to seeing them!

We went to this extremely sophisticated place called Brooklyn Parlor in Shinjuku! I went with my sister a few months ago and really liked it. It's just such a comfortable place. Definitely a place I would recommend!

My Outfit.....
Since we were going out for dinner, I dressed up a little!
Black Tanktop - Kitson
Blue Highwaist Skirt - Forever 21
Sandals - Gap

Marina + Yurina @ Forever 21
Cute!

Marina :)

The Birthday Girl, Yurina!

Oh these buffalo chicken wings are to die for!
10 pieces for 930 yen!
Not bad!

My Italian Sandwich!
This was amazingly delicious!

Yurina's Brooklyn Burger!
I've tried this before but it's so good!

Marina's cappellini
Oooh....this was my first time trying this but I am totally getting this the next time!

Happy Birthday Yurina!

Love you both!!
(This is such a bad photo of all of us! *hehe*)

It's days like yesterday when you really realize who your true friends are. We talk about everything and I already cannot wait till I see these two next!

Ciao!
