When You Believe by Mariah Carey

12.20 Monday,

Hi!

How's it going?



Today was such a good day. I met this girl who has got into ANA as a grand hostess and she will be working at Narita Air-port from April in 2011. We talked for 6 hours or something.
THANK YOU, YUKARI!!


Though talking to her, I realized that the way she talked was strong. I did't even know that she could express her feelings that much, maybe she has been grown up more than I imagined.


She told me quite much of her job hunting and it was not that simple. She did't have a 内定 until May or something which made her upset for sure. I will have to get over the same thing in a half year. I would be so stressed and nervous by not having a 内定, so everyone does.


OKay, I have to get some sleep. My eyes are sick of looking at electronic screens! I cannot even look at this page any longer! Good bye=)

Im You by Leona Lewis

12.20 Mon,

I have just finished reading one of our store's royal customers' web site, who loves sweets and coffee. He once told me that he is such a negative person, then now I can say he was not lying at
all. His web site was great though. His words are so sensitive and innocent that tell me the weaknesses of human being as a person. I will keep reading his page from now on.



I write songs.
My words come from my own real experiments. There is no fiction. So, I believe that those words are stronger than those catchy toy-like music.

I have been busy doing the job hunting, so I am not writing songs recently but his page has made me realize that I should not forget my original mood, which is not that eager. I am a kind of supportive. No acting, no lying, and no copying. This is my motto of doing the job hunting.


OKay, I really have to get some sleep.
Im gonna meet up with a girl tomorrow who has gotten a job as a grand-hostes of ANA. She will start working at Haneda Airport from April in 2011. Her story will help me so much.

Good night.



Surviving though tough times will help you when you are in trouble.
So, let us not worry about being alone.
There are so much more people than you can imagine who have gotten difficult times over.
I am one like you.

Im you.

Someday Soon by Journey

12.18 Saturday,

Well, I went to the committee of International youth students group of SGI, which is a volunteer group that I have been a member of it from 3 years ago. There was this lady who was the translator when Founder Ikeda got 300th award from a university in Malaysia. It was a great opportunity that I could hear stories from such a famous person! I have been interested in working globally as a woman.
Her story was about 40 minutes long and it was all about the background story of the 300rd award from the university. Some people say that SGI buys those awards from universities all around the world but it cannot be happened. Those universities give awards to someone with their authorities, so the fake-story that SGI buys awards means to fool them at the same time. It is so rude to them, right? They are so many people who believe something which is not true.

After that, I went to a Japanese bar called Izakaya with my old colleagues when I was a high school student. Yes, I went to a high school in Kamloops in BC, but when I came back here, I would try to make money as much as I could. They thought me the fun of working and cooperating together to make operation better. They are just the funniest people I have ever met. I love them.

THEN! I went to Starbucks right after the NOMI(drinking dinner) was finished, I did not even sleep at all. I worked for 8 hours! PLUS! Today was the second day of Hagoita-Ichi which is a little festival of boards with the neat Japanese decorations on them. Asakusa is so famous for that.


There are many year-ended parties going on these days. People drunk are wondering around town. It's kinda scary but it is fun to look at. lol



My sister is sitting next to me trying to use the cell phone called Galaxy fully.

Okay, good night! Sweet dreams!!

Tears In Heaven by Eric Klapton

12.16 Thursday,

I have been trying to figure myself out as who I am and what I am. It is not that easy at all.


There are so many seminars that I should attend to, so I go some of them but not that all of them. During the job hunting, everyone has to deal with the stress by their own way. Mine is to sing. Singing my songs makes me keep being myself and remember the old days when I was in a deep depression in junior high school. The experience was my starting point.


Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of Asakusa Kaminarimon Starbucks. Megu-san played the guitar for the singers and looked so cool. I wanna try that next time if I have a chance.

Okay, see ya!

12.12 Sat,

Mom had a big day today. She has a choir made of elementary school students approximately 100 students, and today was their concert. I was mom's assistant.

It's kinda cool to be an assistant who is doing less responsible job but be treated as an important stuff! Isn't it cool? I love being someone's assistant all the time. I am not that kind or a person
who leads a group or something, but Im so good at supporting someone's work as an assistant!


Then, after that, I went to work. Our store is just awesome.
I love the people, the job, the communication with customers, and I love me working as a parter of Starbucks. It raise me up so much.


Tomorrow, I have to go to Hakuhodo for an OB interview at 11am ! It's almost 2 am right now!


I have to dive into my bed and fall down to darkness, which bring me another morning in a few hours. SO! I should not be writing this anymore even though, there are so much stuff that I can share with you such as what is happiness? what is your priority? what is personality??


Good Night!

Thank you for the customers who came to our store today.
Thank you for the partners who worked with me today.
Thank you for the singers who sang beautiful songs in front of a lot of people.
I bet it was so scary for elementary students to sing something in front of bunch of random people.

Thank you for today.
Thank you for the words 'Thank you' because this makes everyone happy. No one could hurt.


Seriously, I have to go to bed to get some sleep, and it has to be a good one.
Tomorrow's interview is a part of the whole selection, I guess.

Good night! This is last time! bye-bye!

Boy Meets Girl

12.9 Thursday,


I went to HOS that stands for Heart Of Starbucks. It is held within every quoter. We go look back what we have done during this term, what we could do better, what we should do next and stuff.

This is such a great opportunity to get closer with the parters and know about what we are doing for customers and ourselves as well. We reference someone who has done the best work during the term, and I have never got one before even though I have been working here for two and a
half years. Some skipped me who got into here after me. But the voting is so fair, so Im not going to say anything critical about it.


A new girl actually inspired me who dances, has been to the states and Australia, has connections with many people working at creative field, and she is beautiful. Her name is Yuki.
I thought that there is something I should learn from her from the first time I met her.
Her eyes were strong, and telling me something. Like,, Junko, You smell as same as I do. We can be friends...



'There must be something, only you can do
You said you compare yourself to me a lot
But there are no good things around you
That comes from comparing..

There must be something that I cannot do
I said you shouldn't compare yourself to me no more
But here is me singing about you, wishing you will notice'


This is one of my songs called 'Jam'.
I should finish thing song but I just haven't done it yet.


Everybody's gotten something.

Yes. True.






What I have got tho?

I do care.

12.6 Mon,


I just finished watching this web site called Waigaya held by Honda. There are a lot of students appealing themselves on the page. I left a line but one Chinese guy replied to me and it was so harsh. He broke my heart.



It is true that it has been so difficult to book a seminar these days, so many companies have started to broadcast about their companies. It is such a good way to get closer between students and companies but also it is so easy to hurt somebody online. You cannot see their faces. Students do not say something that could downgrade themselves but one could hurt one with comments between students.

Because it was a Chinese guy?
Because my parents are teachers?
Because my comment was conservative?

I dont know.

He just said 'if so, your parents have a 'lack'.'


I felt so sad. Because I love mom.



There is no rights that he can say such a thing even if he said 'if'!!


Mommy was such a great teacher. I never talked him.


'if' he thought that my parents have a lack or something like that, he should have not said that on that page. There were about 200 people online at the time, and everyone could tell I am
who I am if they wanted to know. He does not understand publicity. He was so sick of appealing himself to the person who is going to fire us.


It is so sad.

Am I too sensitive?

Come Back To Me by Hikaru Utada

12.4 Sat.

I went to a seminar held by Asahi Newspapers and after that I went to Shibuya to meet up with a woman of Dentsu. company to hear of her job. She was as short as I am but a fast speaker.

The spec between us was quite similar.


She spent her elementary school life overseas, so I did when I was a high school student.

She loves to dance, so I do to sing.

She used to work at MacDonald's, I've been working at Starbucks.
They're both big foreign companies in Japan.




See?

She kept saying how important to have own character in a company, which could also be said the
position or tension while working. I agree with her opinion, really. One who is conservative is not needed by that company. Of course, there are a lot of 'quiet or cool people' in there, she said.


Anyways, she was my second one to visit to hear about the real world.
Im gonna keep on doing this! Good night!

Do nothing til you hear from me

12.2 Thursday,

I didn't go to school again. I'm sick of thinking going to school every morning.


Just a few hours ago, mom and I were sitting, watching TV, relaxed and talking about me.


IM SO TIRED. GOOD NIGHT.

Through the Rain by Mariah Carey

12.1 Wed

Wow, it is December already. How fast time flies,eh?

I made a phone call to an OG the other day to ask about ANA, but she has quitted the job as a CA. She told me that she has been working for Recruit. So, I went there today.


Its building was so beautiful and clean! I was so shocked. There seemed about 50 rooms on a floor. The people looked so much as hard workers but stylish. I was not interested in Recruit beforeI went there, but after spending for a while, I was like 'This could be one!'.

The OG was such a sweet lady. Her smile helped me to be real myself, really. Thank you.
I was kind of sensational and nervous at the time because it was 23rd floor and I was homesick.


I could hear why she quit her job as a CA and what attracted her to change her job. It is worth visiting OBs and OGs to know more than you could know from web sites.
The air, feeling, laughing, smell, people, style, clothes, chair, color, eyes, noises, chatting,,,,,


There are many many things I can tell from visiting their offices. That's why I want to visit as much as I could until the real selection starts.



Okay, I have to collect notes as much as I could for the final exams I have at the end of January. I AM SO SCARED.
