nascency

In the midst of lingering rain, we often fail to discern the blessings it will bring us after the dreary weather---after 6 months of brokenness, now I firmly believe that they were after all innegligible stepping stones that had led me to the one optimum conclusion.


Yes, I've got a job! ! ! ! Finally! ! ! ! !


It was terribly a long process with full of twists and turns, and I've settled in an industry which I initially had no clue about; it's a full-time position in human resource company, and I'll be assigned to do all sorts of employment arrangement works. Hopefully I'll be able to move on to work for international department or the team for foreign firms, which I'm highly interested in.

And it seems I still can't fully decompress myself since we've already got 2 months-group project from the company. ahem. But it is indeed better to prepare myself personally and professionally for next April.

Anyways, I really would like to thank for all my family and friends who had given me a lot of assistance during my job-search period both mentally and materially; special thanks for my parents, Misha, Jun and his girlfriend Ma-chan, both Naoko, Micchan, Natsuko and Chris. Thank you darlings!


Exams are awaiting me next month, but I've already started thinking of summer. too bad.


...and I have a special guest arriving from France next week!<3

Maybe it's not only about bad hair day

When it rains outside, nothing is more paradisiac than staying at home and pampering oneself with trifling comforts. It feels as if I've got a justification to be super lazy for a day.

Laptop, books, chai tea, new Coldplay and a piece of home-baked cake.

That's all I need.

Happy Saturday everyone:).

Kisses,

Jane Austen, coffee and best companion

...Sorry for the long hiatus, everyone! It has been another jam packed long week without much time to write. A row of interviews and 5 hours of trip between home and university has been totally annihilating my body; I slept till 1pm today.

I however managed to indulge myself in the mid of the week, and went to see The Jane Austen's Book Club, which I've been longing to watch ( foreign movies always come out late in Japan!) . The movie was superb, and now I've started to read Sense and Sensibility in English(I read Pride and Prejudice, but it was in Japanese). In fact I still have trouble reading English classics, but I found Austen's novels relatively easier than other classic literature. Anyways, I'm loving it so far!


Okay, I post up pictures from last Sunday, afternoon tea in Umeda with Naoko.

I had Saigon Coffee (Vietnamese style coffee) for the first time; it was a simple concoction of strong coffee and sweetened condensed milk, poured over the ice. Such an irresistible summer creation!




...and not to forget, my princess charming :). She's always an absolute doll.

3 hours of sincere conversation gave me a dose of energy to keep me going for the week. Thanks my dear!

So, tonight I'm giving another dose of energy for brand-new week with Jane Austen and a stock of Desperate Housewives;).

Hope you also had a refreshing weekend!

nonplussed

With the weather dithering between sunshine and rain, it's hard to know what clothes to wear every morning. Should I bring a cardigan or will I regret having to carry it in my already stuffed bag?

It's the same kind of dillemma when we have to make a major decision on something critical for ourselves--- Shall I confide in my own intuition or do I better trust the forecast by others?
