work

srry for lack of posts i just never do anything besides work so nothing interesting to talk about

i only get one day off n im usually too tired to do anything plus my one day off always seem to be crappy weather too so dont wanna go out anyways

anyways sometime this month i went to parco cuz there was some valentine osomatsu san thing but i guess u can only go in the store through a lottery so yeah..but there was a one punch man store so took a pic of that

yeh didnt do anything for valetines just boring

ive finally started doing massages to clients at the salon though. since my nails are long i use my knuckles but then my knuckles get red n sore. once my nail polish chips off badly i think i'll just cut them w/e like one nail broke n i tried putting a fake nail on but since i use my hands a lot at forever21 it made a crack on the fake nail them it just came off n i dont wanna keep putting on new ones cuz when they come off it ruins my natural nails

sigh always when they get a really nice length i have to cut them

and yesterday after work me n the other assistant kai went to take purikura n i did her makeup all gyaru-ish but i forgot to bring eyelash glue and i wasnt wearing eyelashes either but whatever i still looked nice lol

then we ate ramen together n it was really yummy

and its kinda annoying, my roommate cuz like she works mon-fri n i work tues-sun so neither of us really get to sleep in cuz our scheduels but like on the weekends i try to be quiet n stuff n i leave by 8:30 so she has time to fall bac to sleep but for her on my monday off like i already naturally wake up right before our alarm at 7:45 but like she opens the curtains alot so it gets brighter but on the weekend if its kinda sunny outside i try to keep it open only a little so the light doesnt bother her. i had to tell her before she leaves to close the curtins cuz beore she left them WIIIDDDEE open n its super bright n im like wtf i dont wanna get up to close them so yeah but like she also uses the hair dryer in our room in the morning. like she puts some spray n blow dries but like can u not do that for just one day? or if u do go to the bathroom or something cuz im tryin to sleep here. n she leaves at 9 so like im practically awake u know but i just stay in bed til at lest 9:30 anyways cuz im still tired. idk not such a big deal like shes way more considerate than the other crap roommate but still...

past week

lets see the usual works but on thursday after work i hung out with zac n we got some sushi together

then afterwards decided to stop by animate and there was a DIABOLIK LOVERS EVENT and i DIED

like literally when i saw it i started screaming n fangirling so hard i was like 'sorry u have to see me like this'

took some picz

guess it got signatures of their voice actors or something 

and it was this guys bday when they started the event but that was a while ago

i ended up liking him the best out of the mukami brothers

eeepppp i was just so happy and in heaven too bad there were no cardboard cutouts then it would be perfectttt

lots of different shots from different episodes but heres just one

i still need to watch the last 2 episodes of more blood. wish i was back home to watch it with brooke and scream and have dl parties n stuff that was so much fun

and since i was just so in the moment i ended up buying a laito cushion for $13. i thought itd be bigger but when i hug it at night its really tiny and doesnt give much support to my arms. there was a kazama one that was way bigger but like $10 more at this other place but aahhhhh someone buy it for me T_T

and on sunday went to do a voice recording job in sugamo and thats like the harajuku for old ppl and yeah lots of old ppl were there. first we got to sight see a bit then talk through translation app, then theres some evacuation drill and we have to go to an elementary school and read a script and check to make sure the app recognizes what we say then take a survey and we're done

and there was another american and she was really interesting even though shes old enough to be my mom but she has lots of connections to ppl and im look hook me up so we exchanged info

and today even tho its my day off i didnt sleep in. last night i was SOOOOoOooOoOOo tired so i went to sleep at 10

and cuz i had to get up by 9 this morning that was enough sleep. my roommate started working today so i was awake before she got up but just stayed in bed trying to half sleep and with all the noise she made i was having nightmares that 2 more ppl were living in our room n our beds are bunkbeds and really tiny idk

and so i had an interview for this english teaching assistant for salon ppl so they dont gotta turn away foreign customers and i think it went pretty well. im shy so was kinda quiet but other than that i think they really liked me they said the ppl who take the class would prob like me cuz im pretty lol and they like that i have lots of knowledge of the beauty industry and it pays $25 an hour i really hope i get it!! it'll only be like once a week but still i can make like $150 in one day

then afterwards just shopped around in shibuya a bit since im too tired to do that after work and i bought a gold chain necklace at forever21 lol. idk lately ive just really wanted a chain necklace. not that i really have stuff to wear it with until it gets warmer but still looks really nice

BUSSYYYY

I havent blogged in a while cuz im SO busy with work!!!

now i have TWO jobs so i only get one day off.

anyways, from the top:

maybe a week ago went to harajuku with claire cuz havent gone in a couple months it was really fun!!

we took purikura and the machine we went in was so cute!! i need to go to that one again

aayyyy

went to look around store, got some crepes and boba, bought some more accessories too.

we were gonna go karaoke too but or karaoke place doesnt have a location for harajuku so we had to walk back to shibuya since its only like 15 min tops by walking

but before that went to the moshi moshi center to ask about the karaoke place and they offered us free miso for the place next store wheee. its really cold these days so a hot cup of miso was nice

gotta go to the moshi place more to see what other free stuff i can get since im a foreigner

then on wednesday i was SUPPOSE to do a $200 voice recording job but the guy never got my message saying i can do it so he gave my spot to someone else urg i took that day off work for him whatever im doing a recording job this sunday but only $100 this time and its at a further place and earlier too but only 4 hours so whatever

but since i had the day off went to yokohama with claire

we went to china town and looked around a bit. everything was so expensive

then we walked towards the place where cup noodles factory is cuz thats a nice area and on the way there we saw the sea

it was such a nice view with the sun setting but not all bright it was the perfect lighting and took lots of pics

i went to this area before so im kinda familiar with the area. there was a ferris wheel, roller coaster n other rides but they were closed? and it wasnt like it was late it was like 5. maybe they dont open during winter cuz last time it was working

anyways last time i came here i went to that californian restaurant and its really good so we went again. its such an american restaurant it makes me really happy. i ate a chili cheese burger this time. the chili couldve been a bit warmer but still delicious

after that went to starbucks to try this holiday drink but it tasted like their normal hot chocolate to me. the vanilla frappe i got that one time was good that was like the only thing i liked so far

anyways so this last weekend started working at a hair salon as an assistant. i only work weekends but im out alllll daayyy

its ok. not too hard or easy. i need to learn massage technique though cuz they have a certain way to wash hair n stuff. i'll practice on my roommate and when i shower

but hmm yeah. the salon looks pretty n stuff with plants n all that but it DEF wont pass state board inspections like theres always hair on the floor cuz they have a crappy little broom and they dont sanitize their tools so they use scissors right after the next customer without washing it or anything 

i guess its not THAT big of a deal if they dont have lice or something but its so different than in america where in school they really focus on sanitation.

plus the hair dressers sit while cutting hair in japan which is kinda weird to me

there is only 2 ppl who work there besides me, the boss who is the only person to cut hair and this other assistant(who isnt licensed)

they are really understaffed...

but they are nice and its an english speaking salon so i have no trouble communicating with them its just hard cuz sometimes i have to answer the phone and its in japanese and i cant really understand what pl are saying over the phone and im not good at keigo

oh yeh and the 31st was the other assistants bday so the boss bought a cake and flowers n champagne. so i didnt wanna refuse the drink so i took a sip of alcohol for the first time in my life and after that sip i can feel that toxin spread through my body n im like what is happening??!!!! is this normal??

i only took like 2 sips then stopped cuz i grew up to say no to this stuff and i have no problem not drinking so yea

anyways yesterday was my day off and i was super tired n gross looking n just stayed home all day and did my nails

its valetine nails and betty boop cuz why not

actually i got today off too cuz its a new month so the schedules for forever21 get reset or something and today there was some store inspection so it doesnt open til 2pm so i go back tomorrow

waahhh just always working at least im making $$$
