IL DIVO

I went to the concert of IL DIVO with my friend. I loved their songs! Their songs were so touching and beautiful that I almost cried. Their voice came into my heart. I was speechless. I was just listening to the songs.

There are a few songs that make me cry. IL DIVO is one of that.

And my friend told me she is going to get married. Can you guess how much I got excited to know that? She is one of my best friends. We have shared many memories. We know each of our happy and bitter memory.

After the concert, we went to drink wine to toast her. I’m so happy that she found the one.


I feel so good tonight.

Still Young

You are still young.

No matter how old you are, if you think so, you could try anything.



One of my coworkers, who joined the company last year, is leaving the company and is going to go and live in Chile. It is such a big change for her. When we knew it, almost all of us wondered why. She graduated from top university and got the good job. Everyone told her it is too early to quit the job. It is too good to quit the company. But whatever people said to her, only she can decide she is fully satisfied with her life and job, right?

Today, some of our coworkers got together and held a farewell party for her. Until today, we did not have a chance to talk with her face to face. (we only heard she would leave the company soon.) I realized she has considered the matter and prepared well to live in another country.

She’s got several reasons to go to Chile. First, her boyfriend is in the country. You know, many people think she is going to go to Chile because of her boyfriend, but it is not like that actually. She wants to study Spanish (one more language) in the country, not in Japan. She can speak English, so she can talk with many kinds of nationalities. She thinks speaking English made her life change a lot. (I agree with it.) If she can speak one more language, she will have a chance to get to know more people. And one more reason that she is going to Chile is she wants to work there, she wants to make next step for her life. Actually, she went to Chile last year and already did her job hunting and got a job. Language, job and boyfriend…she’s got those reasons.

She is smart.
She is cool.
She is open-minded.
She is aggressive.
She has libertarian attitudes.
But the biggest attributes that made her decide to go to Chile should be she thinks she is still enough young to try anything. Most of my friends including me think we are “ALREADY” turning in our late 20s.

Her future is really wide and open. I wish her the best of luck in her future.

Happy New Year, 2007!

For all,

Happy New Year!
Here comes 2007!
New Year just started!

I always set my goals on New Year. I’ve got many things that I want to achieve. How about you?

As for my work, I have been making phone calls to contact our customers as a sales consultant staff. So, here is my goal: I MEET each customer and give him/her a dream!

When I started making phone calls, I thought it is harder to understand their needs over the phone than to know them face to face. I had been having the image, but I got advice from the president with whom I used to work as an intern, and that made my mind change. What he said was: If you can "meet" people on the phone, sending your Aloha Spirit across the phone lines, then when you are really face-to-face, it is so much stronger. Learn well!

After getting his words, I felt I would be able to “meet” customers even on the phone. Be positive, send good spirits, and give them an image for their future…I will take the attitude to reach customer’s heart!

Is there anything that you want to try this year? Maybe you have something ;-) I wish you well and a happy new year!
