The others

An interior designer offered me a job to help his the US project. Unfurtunatly, the project was cancelled, but I was really glad that he called me for that.

Most importantly, I mede my place in the society. I’m now functioning in the business world, even though it’s a little impact.

Finally, I started to do some exercise, Belly Dance since I left Japan about 3 years ago.

Photofacial to beatify facial skin.

Stated tutoring to improve my pronunciation

So now, I’m going to take a rest in 2009 and prepare for 2010.

NAMI RESTAURANT

Just because my friend wanted to eat nice Sushi, I went over to the restaurant, which I used to work for 2 months in the first year I came to Canada. Without any reasons, I wouldn’t go there…I quit the waitress job as soon as I got another job from a Gallery.

I worked as a waitress with Kimono 2  1/2 years ago and it’s my first job in Canada. It was only 2 months, but I would never forget the time. I blamed myself everyday, why I was doing it, not my professional job. My English was so poor at that time and the situation was much harder than I had expected. There was no way to achieve my goal within the first year.

Now that I came to much closer to the position that I wanted, I can see my progress in the past years. I will get more close to my goal next year.

Anyway, I really like the restaurant as a customer. Their service, atmosphere, menu, and concept are good. Price is not too high and taste’s good.

I had Robata A lunch $15.50 including Udon noodle, grilled black cod, season rice, and salad today!

I was really moved by the movie and cried a lot!!

I regret not to have a handkerchief…

Will Smith is so sweat.

SEVEN POUNDS

Today’s weather looks really Canadian winter…

It’s -14C and feels like -24C.

I want to get the planner above, which is designed by Coated Design Graphics. I used to use thier planner in Japan, but there is no way to find this kind of practical planner here… For me, having a nice planner is really important to schedul myfurture plans and it keepes my determine going.

I was designing a own planner today, but after for a while I realized that it will cost to print out all pages and make a booklet with them.

I probably order it to Japan and ask my friend to bring it here.
