年末なんてあっという間

One schedule book for this year, one more schedule book for next year, another notebook for my college planning and smaller notebook to put in my pocket as a "to-do list" at work...

1-2 books to read during breaks, dictionary, and more personal belongings...

I got everything in my daily bag and it becomes big and heavy!

Carrying 2 schedule books means "One year is ending very soon."

And it means the busiest time of an year "Christmas season" is coming!

A lot more customers everyday, the higher sales target... and we gotta work longer everyday.

What I need to do for Christmas is

Staying healthy + tough!

"What a romantic season Christmas is♪" ;-)

Thanks for reading!

職場ガールズトーク

"trick or treat"

One of my coworkers and I was having a... a girls' conversation at work.

It was about a very common topic "Ideal Man" things.  lol

My coworker is 10 year younger than me.  I know her taste is very different from mine!

She told me to give the most important requirements because she was curious and I guess she got a lot more requirements. lol

I said...

1. a man who works really hard

2. a man who doesn't have anybody else

3. a man who is attractive

When I mentioned number 2, my coworker said "That's too basic!, too fundamental!"

Yeah, I know.  But it can be the hardest part though! lol

Well, number 1 is what I always think.  I don't mean he needs to be very rich but I want him to be dedicated to his job and proud of it.... and... managing what he's doing well by himself. ...whatever he does♪

3 is... maybe I can also say "seductive" lol

I used to give a lot more requirements.  The older I get, the simpler it gets!

Chatting with my 10year younger coworker reminded me that I've got older more mature!

That's good though ;-)

Thank you for reading!

Life's funny♪

Thinking, thinking,,, and thinkg.

I'm thinking a lot ... in the locker room... during lunch break...

I got a new stuff to take care of at work.  I'm not gonna tell you what it is but it's a very important issue, I know.  I never consider it as a PROBLEM but I'm sure I gotta deal with it keeping myself motivated.

Things keep coming up!  Moreover, they get tougher very often! lol

But it's OK!  They (who?! lol) always give me a chance to learn and become stronger + smarter! haha!

But seriously, I'm very lucky to meet a lot of chance to learn everyday.  Working as a manager is a very important experience and career before studying business field in the US.

I appreciate all the problems and things happened to me!  ;-) 

All I can do is...  just believing I can handle them!  haha♪

ちょいと模様替え

I've been enjoying a very relaxng night time... listeninig to D'ANGELO.

hmm... nice♪

It's been more than an year since I started posting here.

I was thinking about moving on a little... and I decided to have one more blog♪

Here's the link → http://wasabismtsurezure.blogspot.com/  「WASABISM 徒然留学記」

I'll start keeping my diary there... in Japanese! lol

Because I want it to be a blog which tells you all,,, I don't know who's gonna read it! lol,,, how I'm doing even if you don't know English at all.

And... if possible, I'd like to share my small happiness with you as much as possible.

I'll keep posting here too.  I hope here, WASABIの世界, will be more like... an English practice blog...

So,,, I will try two of them and hope you will enjoy them too ;-)

Thanks for reading!

New York に行こう

After all...

"I wanna go to New York again!"

...is what I always feel.

California, Seattle, Florida... even some places in the middle of the states where people describe "in the middle of nowhere" because I was always worried about college and living expenses.

Unfortunately, I'm not a millionare,,, so far! lol

I've been working hard to save more for college.  Then I'm gonna spend it all in a few years!  ha!!

So... I decided to head for my favorite place in the world♪  Yes, that's New York City♪

I don't think I'll live and study in the city but I'll go closer to NYC so I can focus on school on week days and visit downtown sometimes on weekends ;-)

I know I get excited when I think of going to NY... much more than any other places in the world.

It was very simple ;-)

POP☆POP ストレスが私を走らせる！

My current uplifting music for my exercise time :-)

LADY GAGA and NATALIA KILLS   Too pop for me? lol

I started running a few days ago.  I usually try to go about 4km but I did 6km :-) because I had more time today.  Yes, it's my day off today♪ 

I went to my running course as usual. → http://rockinwasabi.blogspot.com/2011/02/run.html

Because I hurt my knee before, I pay more attention to it and go slowly.  Sometimes I switch to walking when my knee feels funny.  So... it's more like slow jogging right now.  I try to keep doing this and I hope I will be able to run like I used to :-)

During summer time, I often went out before my holidays.  But I didn't last night. lol

I had been dealing with some... tough stuff at work for about a week.  Finally, it's getting settled ;-)  And yesterdays, I could finish the most stressful (haha!) paperwork which always takes so long!

So... I decided to go straight home last night :-) then I took a nice long bath and went to bed early... looking forward to jogging early in the morning♪

Now I feel really good!  My body's sore, haha! but I'm so relieved ;-)  I'll have a good day off today!

TOEFL 結果。良くも悪くも…

It's been more than a month since I took TOEFL but I haven't talked about it in here.
Alright, I will tell you! lol

My score was exatcly the same as the last one!
No difference even one point!

...it's kinda miracle... lol

What happened to each sections was...
READING: 6 point increased :-) 
The score report told me I moved to "intermediate" from "low"
This is very good! I knew my problem was reading.  Even a little, I'm getting better, yeah~♪
I think reading college websites was the biggest practise.  I try to READ because I want more information.  This made me used to reading, I guess.  And I try magazines and books sometimes too. :-)

LISTENING and SPEAKING: 2-3 point decreased
I still stay on "intermediate"  I was almost "High" last time but I went a little bit backward this time.
Unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of chance to have a conversation with English speakers recently.  I know that's the reason.

WRITING: 1 point decreased
Total for writing section is almost the same but the details are different.
"writing based on reading and listening" became worse. I think it might be related to my listening ability.  On the other hand "writing based on knowledge and experience" is better than before.  I was "fair" last time then I became "good" :-)  Well... good! lol  I hope my English diary is working♪

So...
Though my reading score is less than others, my English ability is more balanced than before.  lol
I know I gotta keep working on listening and speaking too.
But I learned it's so obvious that English study is directly connected to the result!
If you do, it'll be better.  If you don't do, it'll be worse.  This is very simple! ;-)

たまらん香♪...これでがんばる♪

Ah.............. smells good♪

I'm addicted to this cologne in the middle of the picture. 

When I was walking around before going back to Hiroshima, I met this scent at a department store in Tokyo.  This small black bottled cologne is a limited edition, they say.  I guess I should buy one more soon because it smells so good!  If someome with this cologne walk pass, I will follow the person! lol

"diptyque" ... http://www.diptyqueparis.com/

I know I haven't been writing much here recently.  Well, let me make an excuse... I was busy! lol

And I'm sure I'll be busier and busier at work toward Christmas and New Year season because I work at a sales department.  It's much better than being bored though! lol

So... I'm going to try to spend time for myself and treat ME good♪ :-)

Sometimes I think,,, for example exercise, I tend to think like "I know I gotta do some exercise but I've been busy.  Maybe I should start when I have more time!"... Then, I don't start it even when I got less busy!  That means I can do it whenever I really want to, even if I'm busy.  Yeah, so right! lol

I guess it sounds very strange but I feel I have 2 brains! lol

One is dominated by work stuff and another is trying to work on college + English stuff.  God is fair, everybody has 24 hours a day :-)  I gotta switch them on and off well.  Sometimes I imagine like "if I had an easier job with less responsibility, I could focus on my college plan more and improve my english faster because I would have more time" but I know it doesn't really matter like exercise thing. lol

Besides that I do prefer MY situation to an easier job.  I still keep learning a lot from managing a store.  This practical study is not waht I can get while sitting in a business class at a school ;-)  I'm lucky♪ 

Then I will treat myself better.  I should take good care of me :-)  so I can stay healthy and happy♪

It got cooler, fall has come.

Exercise, reading,,, feeding yourself with  the best season food :-)  Let's treat ourselves GOOD♪

Twitter的… なぅ

Not a good picture, huh? lol
I didn't think it was so hard to take a picture of Mt. Fuji from a shinkansen window!
But I'm glad to see beautiful Mt. Fuji today♪

今日はおのぼりさん♪

Business trip! I'm going to Tokyo today.
As soon as I arrived at Shinagawa, I have to go to the office in Sendagaya and stay there all day.
I know it's gonna be a very important meeting and also a good chance to talk to people at the head office or managers from other shops face to face.
It's ... stressful but I really like it! Because I always work far away from Tokyo lol, everything is like stimulus :-)
Especially this time, I will talk to my bosses about my college plan... that means talking about my leaving. I like my job, I like people here,,, so... I want to leave everything alright when I move on :-)
If I finish everything today, I will have some free time tomorrow. I will visit our shops in Shinjuku, Harajuku and Ginza to say hello to my coworkers and see what they are doing. Then I want to enjoy some more Tokyo Time before going back to Hiroshima. I'm wondering where to walk around :-)Well, I'm around Kyoto now.
I still have 2 more hours before arriving at Shinagawa. I will enjoy the beautiful weather outside and have a little more relaxing time♪
Oh, I have to remember to see Fuji san, too! ;-)
