damasareta

the company that i interviewed yesterday came back to me and gave me a rejection!!!!! the guy! that guy almost promised yesterday that he would send a contract detail by the e-mail!!! bullshit! I logged in I found the mail from him. but there was no attachment so i thought strange! then it was a rejection email!! take away from this: DO NOT TRUST PEOPLE on INTERVIEW!

big box or small box?

went to interview with a small company. I have already got a job offer from big famous company as a contract worker. but then why I am still interviewing for the small company? because I can picture how it would be like working in the big company and treated like a prostitute, supporting a group of guys.. and I don't like it.

maintenance wardrobe

today was warm. I was not active today. did not even change pajama since this morning. but I cleaned my closet to throw some old clothes. I want to keep it organize in the closet and keep the clothes well maintained. I also studied how to clean and brush shoes. the important thing is to do everyday. even though you come back tired, you don't skip to do this one step everyday. once you can make it a habit, it is not a big deal.

chatting like birds

went to gym this morning. there was a group of girls students with the teachers. they were from international school. While waiting for the opening, i was observing the ladies who were chatting like middle aged ladies. understood that this is a universal common characteristics of ladies from birth to death.

wrong change at paul

Went to takashimaya in Futagotamagawa, we planned to eat sandwich at the river so bought 3 sandwiches and 1 sweat at Paul. it was about 2000 yen in total. and i gave her 10000 yen. However, i realized later that she had given me back 9000 yen for the change. I did not go back there and felt guilty.

how many dishes today?

asked my mom how many dishes she made for dinner today. it was more than 4 dishes, including fish, chikuzen-ni, tamago-yaki, and so on. i usually cook 2 dishes. at most 3. I can not spend a lot of time on cooking. 1hour is maximum i can do. after that, I feel dizzy.

drug store day

it was warmer than yesterday. the drug store in my neighborhood give me 200 yen ticket on Wednesday and Saturday. so i always wait for the date to shop there. so i went there today.

big quake

big earthquake in new zealand. in News i saw horrible image of the mess with many buildings collapse, cars crushed, streets stretched. human can not beat the nature. we benefit from nature but that does not mean we can control it. sometimes that kind of basic thing is easily forgotten by myself. i hope people are safe over there.

convince people

when you want to convince someone. you have to understand what the person wants and if you offer that, in return they are happy to give you what you want.

a new toy

bought a new toy for my daughter. it is a wood box on which different shapes are carved. on the other hand, you have the same shape of blocks and match the shape to put the blocks inside of the box. this toy is designed for 1year old, it is a little bit early for her but definitely she shows more interest in it than in simple toys such as dolls. she seems trying to discover something, and trying to function new parts of brain!

baby bisiness

went to jiyugaoka with my friends and their babies for lunch. jiyugaoka is full of baby business. we went to the cafe which is baby friendly and serves baby food. by the way, the baby food, which is actually very small thing, cost 700 yen!! and the menu for adult has only two choices and cost 1300yen. outrageous! there were also a few scam business i saw. baby gym with english teachers. don't know how much but must be expensive. there was also this preschool education from 0 years to 3years, which according to my friend is already full. those business is good, but to me they are making fool of stupid parents. and this is absolutely sad.

sakura is not for eating

studied in Starbucks for 2hours this morning. the lady recommended a sakura late for the foreigner. he did not order that one. instead he ordered regular late. every spring they have sakura taste in their lineup. i never tried and i will not because it simply does not seem good. but surprisingly how many people order that in addition to sakura cake. by the way, i love sakura-mochi.

on treadmill

run for 1 hour on treadmill. treadmill is boring. I wonder where shall i look at when i am running on the machine. Today, i used machine #3, where i could see a bird nest. I stared at the nest for 1 hours. during that time, a few birds visited and left. the lady next me was reading a magazine, while running. seems good idea, but I'm not that adroit. it will make me puke in the end.

good frined

she changed her mind very often. as a friend, I want to support her but how much advice is appropriate to give her. if i say too much, that will hurt her. she was working in a big company before. the salary was not too bad, i guess. but then she got divorced. she did not want to tell about her divorce to the colleague, then she left the company. Then as a excuse, she told everyone that she always wanted to do new thing and started working in some shop, where she is merely paid. now she is going to quit her job again.

fat guys

i really hate fat guys. they are harmful! stop eating like pig.

choice of her clothes

the young lady was especially hard wired. she was not satisfied with the clothes i brought, explaining that the kindergarten is warm and kids move a lot, so they better spend a day with barefoot. she sent back the clothes and asked me to bring right ones.
on the other hand, the older teacher understood that we did not have right clothes for her, and was accepting my selection of the clothes for now and told me to bring new clothes later on.
hey ladies, please stop saying different things to me! you are inconsistent!!

what is your motive?

writing the resume for the company i am applying. the resume format requires me to fill in the motive for the position.... nothing to write.
well, to be honest, i am applying for the position because the office is close to my place, the salary is not soo bad compare to the others, there is no overtime work, it seems very easy job... well, i can not write none of them. I have to invent good one.

bad question

their question was not fair. I should have asked what they meant when i was asked. they said " do you know about the asset management part?" I was intimidated and said "no. I did not get involved in the part." though i did not really understand their meaning. but now I understood that they wanted to ask if i have made confirmations for asset management. and the answer is "YES!!" anyways, if i failed for the interview, i should have asked to restate the question!! I am such a stupid girl.

stupid job agency

tired of talking with job agency. when i talk to them, i feel like i'm helpless and useless. why they can not do better job, or they can not think better than they do now? Use your brain than follow the manual. not only this is about job seeker's life this is your life as well for Christ sake.

Filing Tax deduction

we spent almost 400000yen last year for medical fees. That is big amount of money. I filed tax deduction today on internet. i learned that we would receive about 80000yen in the end of march. if we have forgotten this process, we would have just lost this money, and it goes to their pocket.

Parenting

the book written by a Chinese lady has became a bestseller in NewYork Times. a lot of parents who read the book complained about the author's way of raising kids and criticized on how she has been doing wrong. She emphasized that This has been Chinese way and it works if you give it to your kids with much affection.

afternoon walk

Went for a walk this afternoon. temperature was much better than a few days ago. Since the bebe is getting heavy, we put her on the back in a baby carrier. We walked in Meijijingu, Sangubashi and went to Yamaya to get a whiskey. Our apartment is located in convenient place, in the center of tokyo. we have an access to major commercial places within 30 minutes but our place is not so nice. at least I want an elevator.

Saturday theater

watching Seven Years in Tibet on TV. I confirmed Brad pitt is a nice actor. He can do any kinds of subtle smilings and expressions. Only two western people in Tibette in this movie and the rest are natives, that was very strange and unexpected.
