it's been so long since i wrote the last post.
since then there were many things!
got proposed, changed the job, changed the last name, moved in a new place...
the wedding is in 2months. and i havent lost a pound...
my 2008 is already too much!

new job is fun. i am a merchandiser (MD).
MD is a difficult job. it's a communicator between sales, retail shops, designers and product control.
MD decides which product would be in the stores on what day...
very carefully plan the schedule to have more customers to the stores.
we sell millions in one day and that's because the planning is right.
i make boards and print out small drawings of products.
my boss would move them on the board and see the balance, etc.
mostly i face to PC or using scissors and tapes.
sometimes i go to a shop in shibuya to see the atmosphere and the situation.
we did great job on the opening day but it doesn't last long...
yesterday's sale was sooooooooo bad.
we really have to be serious about this condition... but i dont know what to do about it...
it's difficult for me because i havent worked for this brand for long and dont really know about customers and targets either.

anyways, i've been having fun here. lot better than the previous job.
the good thing is to get off an hour earlier than the last job :)
the bad thing is my husband is not able to match his offs with mine...

new life... new life...

winter = *+*+*+*

winter = cold.
cold = snow.
snow = snowboarding.
these are the equasions of winter since i got together with my bf.

whenever he gets day offs he goes to mountains.

he sometimes make his friend take day off so that the friend can provide us a car...(´д｀;)
since the last november i went snowboarding three times.
every time i hit my head very hard.
im still a beginner...

sometimes the headaches go on for a week.
sometimes all my body gets sore and go on for a week or two.
but still i try to get better so that i can feel whatever isao feels on snow.
comparing to him im like a turtle. never be able to run with him but always follow
im having fun, though

from Jan. 1st i went to Nagano with friends. it was the first time to go for snowboarding with them im my life and i was so excited! but they were all so much better than me and i couldnt really catch up with them on the slopes.
those two days i felt like i was in a boot camp...
"if i wait one more day i can go home..."
"if i run one more slope i can go home..."
something like that.


i want to get better NOW!!!!!!

~OkinawA~

i went to okinawa with my family ヽ(*｡￫v￩｡)ノ
my second sister is there. since she moved to okinawa it was first time for me to visit her. i mean, it's been 15yrs since i last visited there...

the first day after i got there (mom and eldest sis & nephew were already there) we rented a car and drove to very north of the okinawa island. YAMBARU is where mountains are, we rented a small cottage there and stayed one night. on the way there we stopped by at a supermarket and got some veges, meat, beer and snacks for dinner. cooked hotpot and ate it together! our nephew got grumpy coz he was tired and especially when my sis tried to change the diaper... he hates it. he couldnt stop crying but we were like "stop crying, grumpy boy! we change diapers for YOU!!" and ignored him for a while. this is the pic. he cried to curtain since he couldnt cry to anyone (≧∀≦) it was so funny.


next morning we went for canoeing in mangrove forests. only in the morning the water is filled in the place so that we could go in but when water is down no one can go in coz it's protected as natural monument.

after that we went for a walk in famous street where surrounded by some special trees (cant remember the name (-_-)). found a beautiful beach near there!! then i got too excited and ran down the concrete slope (it was for dragging a boat down)...
then... tripped by the rope said "slippery! dangerous!" and flew for a second then bang! .. injured my knee and elbow (as always) and my hand. bleeding so badly...
so hurt... ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡
there was no pharmacy around there so we had to drive a little. my second sis nursed for me(ﾉ´∀｀*)☆
then we went to Sesoko island which is connected to the main island by a bridge. easiest island to go coz no need to take ferry.


there was my sis's coworker's wife's cafe there and we had a cup of coffee then left.

it's a view from my sis's apt window! right below is the sugarcane firm (*¨*)

it had been a very short and somewhat tiring trip but very very exciting and fun and interesting family trip (*´v｀)LovE(´v｀*)

cut=cute

i had a haircut!
i had grown it for 4-5 years and it reached my belly button ;O
it was the first time for me to have that long hair.
but my hair had been so damaged, spread ends, no color, etc. and grose.
guys always like long straight hair and my exs insisted on me not to have a haircut (hairdye and trimming were not included) for long long time...
now im free! thanks to my bf (but it's normal for others... i know.)!!

take a look and give me some opinions.
i dont accept bad ones tho >( !!!!

my opinion was... looks a little bit like IKKO (in bad way) and Kyoka Suzuki (in good way)...

my bicycle hurt me

mine's white.

i've been commuting by bicycle since april.
it got grumpy and made me fall the other day.
i hit my elbow and butt against the concrete ground so hard and i couldn't move for a while.
very sweet couple came to me and lifted me up and dragged my bicycle for me.
they asked if i was ok, which direction was i going, if i was drunk... etc.
i couldn't talk because of the shock and talked to them with body languages... lol
they walked me for like 100m and said good bye.
i was in shibuya. very big city. there are not so many nice ppl around here.
i was moved.

my elbow got two scratches, below that there is a huge bruise. they hurt me so bad.

next morning i overslept in the morning. i usually take train when it is raining.
when i found out the rain that day it was too late. i didnt have time to catch train.
bicycle was the only way.
wet tile floor sucks. especially marble ones.
they look gorgeous and luxurious and shiny but slippery when it gets wet.
i fell again.

｡｡(ノД`) ﾁｨｰﾝ

some nice indian-like guys helped me getting up.
i hit the same elbow again.
and my knee.
some another bruises.
my bicycle started betraying me.
we have had our relationship for more than 2yrs.
finally it got mad at me, maybe because im not taking good care of it.
i guess it's a front wheel.
ok. another 7,000 yen.

(-ω-｀;)

new shop

the chairs at the bottom picture are 20yrs old. they are limited pieces. the center metal chair is now 10,000,000yen in some auction and that is our stupid manager's posession. not for sale. we have many rare pieces but they are all not for sale... it's sucks. basement floor and ground floor are somewhat filled with those limited pieces but middle, 2nd and 2nd middle floors are all usual pieces from the shop where i used to work. some ppl say, "what is limited stands for since this shop doesnt have limited for sale at all".
i really agree to them. i dont know what our CEO wants to do. he just wanna show off that he has those expensive pieces? ... sigh*
i cant believe that this shop is going on till next March... should i just leave as soon as i get a new job? it had been very busy but after awhile im sure it gets slower and slower and boring everyday... X(
