law firm - 1 month!

弁護士事務所　いろいろ学んでます。しかしファイナンスに戻りたい。私はどうもお金の計算や、数字を見るほうが好きみたいだ。アメリカ人の一緒に入った人は、もうすでに2 weeks を出したみたい。アメリカ人、あきらめ、早いな。ま、私もためしてみたけど、1か月で弁護士事務所、むいてないことが発見。あーーーあ、やめなかったらよかった。と思うこともあるけど、ま、人生いろいろまた一から仕事始めでもするかな。２０１９年　新しい仕事さがすぞーー！まだ仕事もあるし、特に焦りではないけど、今１１月１４日から始めた仕事を２年間もできるかな。。。心配。アメリカの会社で仕事するのはいいけれど、やめる人の率も高いし、やっぱり日本の銀行の仕事をやめなければ。。とおもうこともあるけど。ま、人生山あり谷あり。こうご期待！

Japanese girl - first day at law firm in NYC!

銀行をやめて、first day at Law firm here in New York City!I have been here almost 14 years now.. well going back and forth between the US and Japan past 15 years since I was 19 years old.

Different things in life

New York love life

Let me tell you something about New York love life. — so freaking hard. There are 8millions people in New York so it sounds pretty easy but I think because of too many people in the city that makes it so hard to find the love you are looking for. I met this guy. He is very nice. I met him through dating app like everyone else here. He went to Ivy League school, has a job and has a sense of humor - great! I like him! I matched with him earlier December but due to our busy travel schedule I met him finally on 12/26/2017. Ok. That’s good. We met up. Clicked. Great! We kept in touch and I went back to japan for 10 days. We were still in touch. Awesome! Right? Then we met up again once I came back to New York. Then he went to Taiwan. So far so good. Yea that’s what I though. He was supposed to be back here 2/18. I was going to go to Hong Kong 2/15-2/19. So yea that’s great. We come back to the same city around the same time and we could meet up again! That was my wish.. oh well that went downhill. I know that he was working in Taiwan too in addition to his cousin’s wedding but his date of coming back was pushed back to the late February >> earlier March >> mid March >> late March... then now when are you coming back? Seriously! So I gave him condition “you are coming to hk to see me then we can continue talking” (at this point his coming back date was like mid March- ok That’s not too bad it’s like 1 month) but then it pushed back to late March again. Now I started feeling like he was someone who came to New York as business trip then went back to Taiwan for good. I never felt that he lives here. Even when he initiates the text message we have nothing to talk about as we don’t spend enough together to hold the conversation. It’s sad but oh well it is what it is... I’ll keep you posted. My love life sucks.

Back from japan

Delay delay delay and delay via Toronto. Back from japan!

Happy new year everyone! 2018

Happy new year everyone.I can’t wait to see what 2018 brings to me :)

Citi bike hit me!!!!

Freaking citi bike in ny hit me on my way home. I have a right to walk because I had a green light!!!! He was riding full speed citi bike! Omg he hit me and I stumbled. Luckily I didn’t fall but what was he thinking? He can make it to cross the street although it was already red already for like 15 seconds! Are you fucking kidding me!!! I never get those people. It could have been worse if it were small kids or older people! Or he could have been dead. Seriously! 😩 watch the f**k out bikers! Omg! I blacked out for a few min and realized that I walked three blocks up. Called Uber home. Thank god I have Uber!!!!

身から出た錆

日本語の身から出た錆って言葉を始めて知った。日本にいたけど色々知らない言葉もたくさんある。アメリカにきたら全くそういうのから遠ざかっていく。誰かよく使う、使用頻度が高いことわざを教えてください。

may the peace be with you

I saw the terrorist attack at Brussels, Belgium. Those kind of news hurt me so much.May the peace be with you always.

うるさいアメリカ人

私の後ろに座っているのは典型的なアメリカ人２人一人は５２歳の尾ジーちゃんみたいな人。もう一人は３１歳　典型的なアメリカ人。なんというか態度もでかい、くしゃみもでかい。ちなみに咳もでかい！ということで最近　彼、ふとってきた。だから体もでかい。会社での様子。まずテレビで大事な情報があるとテレビの自分のスピーカーの音量を大きくする。こっちはセールスじゃないから静かに　パチパチ　仕事をするんだけど、アメリカ人２人はセールス。最低。声もおおきくセールスピッチをひたすらいいまくる。やめてよ。今日はさすがにうるさかったから言ったわ。can you please turn down the volume? みたいな。そうしたらいやな感じの目。なんだよ　その目。イヤホンでももってこい！しかもこれが最後じゃない。マナーの悪い人ってことはこういう人も含まれているんです。ありえないね。

ブロッコリー

先月野菜を買いに言った。野菜とかフルーツはvender とか外の屋台が安いからたまに買うんだけど、キャッシュオンリーでもそのときはブルーベリーとりんごをかったらアスパラガスのお金がなくなった。。きゃーーじゃ、お金がないからまた今度にするといったらアスパラガス　くれた！アスパラガス高いのに、良かったのかな。でもありがと　いつものおじさん
