& M

Long time no see！
I don't forget this blog. But I didn't feel like writing English lately.

In September, I decided continuing studying English at Gaba.
In my opinion gaba is so expensive that I couldn't decide what I should do for a long time(about 2months?).
But I think I need to study much harder and longer. Because I can't speak English fruently and I can't listen natural speed English.
I want to describe my opinion and thinking and feeling clearly.

I finished deciding.
I want to enjoying studying and having conversation with a lot of English speakers after this.

However, I said 'Hello' 'How have you been?' 'Nice to see you!' to my American co-worker in Japanese.
How stupid!!!
I'm sure I have many chances to talk with this foreigner everyday...but I don't use.
How wasteful!!!

My next target is.......I understand.




Anyway, the CEO came back here(=Our office, and The CEO's room is very near from my desk.).
There are many co-workers around me. Because they all want to talk and discuss with him.
It's noisy!!!

If my friends hear above, they might say 'I miss you'.
But I think it's important for me. Because I always want to know what our company did and does and will do.
Though I belong to Finance & IR division and manege all our projects, it's hard to feel trends in our company.
There are very difficult problems and it's not serious about my daily work.

u-mm...
I can't find conclusion...HAHAHA.



Enjoy everyday!!!
See you (^o^)ﾉ

I'm working at office now.
Is it crazy? workaholic?　　I say ’No!'

In fact I was eating dinner in Roppongi 2 hours ago and then I came back my desk.
I ate sliced meat and vegetables grilled on a hot plate.
It was yummy and I was lucky because it was all expenses paid.

I hear a lot of co-workers voice.
I think they are intelligent, energetic, admirable but quite workaholic...
I'm always worry about condition of their health.

Anyway, I should deal with my work.

I'm on summer vacation now.
I was sleeping until 11:00 p.m. Yesterday I was home and cleaned my room.
I ate a lot of foods. They were good! So I'm happy...

I don't feel like working now. I'm worry I won't be able to go to our office....
But I have to earn money!
Because it's hard to think I can't spend money freely.
I love shopping, travels, eating delicious foods with my friends, hanging out with my friends...

I must work!!!
And I want to enjoy everything!!!

各位、

本日、１５時にグリコBOXの横にアイスクリーム冷凍庫を設置します。
無料ではありませんのでお支払いをお願いします。

冷凍庫は小型ですので私用物はNGです。
また、歩きながらの、ながらアイスはよくありません。

アイスにもマナーを。

宜しくお願いします。



This e-mail was originaly written in Japanese by my co-worker.
I try to translate it from Japanese to English.



Hello everyone.

We will have a new freezer for ice creams next to the Glico-Box at 3:00 p.m.
Please pay 100 yen for an ice cream. Be carefull, it isn't free of charge.

The freezer is too small. So we can't use it for private purpose.
And we mustn't eat as we are walking.

We mustn't forget our manners even if we love ice creams very much.

Well, have a nice day.

If there is a beautiful woman(quite handsome guy), what do you think about her(him) ???
Do you feel jealous of her(him) , or do you want to make friends with her(him)???

I want to make friends with her now.
But I needed long time to think so.

In fact I think some of my co-workers are very pretty...
At first I felt inferior to them.
But they are kind, sincere, lovely , strong-minded , and very funny. They are pretty charming.
I think I can't win against them in anything.
So I began to do as they do.
For example, I heard them what they do for their health and figure everyday, where they go shopping and so on...
We often talk about everything and they are my best friends now.
I love them（＾−＾）


I think it's ufeful to envy someone else, I often hear bad story with jealous person though....(-_-;)
I want to become friends with many inspiring peaple and I want to be greatly influenced by them.
I want to learn from them.

I feel like lying in my bed...

Anyway I have a small wish this year.

I want to watch manatees!!!
I always tell my English teachers about MANATEES!!!

For example.....
I want to go to Izu and watch the MANATEE there!!!
My favorite animal is MANATEE!!!
I love MANATEES!!!
I think MANATEES ARE SO CUTE!!!
and so on......( Sorry, I'm persistent.)

But most instructors said such things.( I can't remember details about our conversation though.)
E " I see. Manatees are cute."
I read between the lines. I thought he wasn't interested in manatees....
C " Really??? I don't think so."
He completely disagreed with me. He wasn't insterested in manatee at all.

Why don't they understand how cute manatees are???

Last saturday, I studied English from a certain instructor.
I told him I loved manatee and I had a photograph collection of manatees.
And he said "Really??? Manatee is the special animal for me. I love manatees too. And I have swum with manatees in a river..."

I think he is a great person, isn't he???

I'm studying English.....

Today I think about the correct use of 'as well as'.



Watch carefully! There is a Gaba memo pad behind this lunch box.
(I had dinner at my desk and I took this photo in order to describe how buzy one day.)
I usually go to Gaba 2 times a week. It's necessary for me to improve my English conversation skill.


...And please look at above.
There is GABA-CHOCO on my desk. I like all sweets. It's necessary for me to get rid of my stress.

So I made such a sentence using that phrase.

"I need GABA as well as Gaba."

Sorry...it's quite boring(；一_一)

I really admire two CEOs for their personarity, thinking and lifestyle.
I write the reason why I admire them below.


First of all they work like mad more than anyone else, and they are strict with us besides themselves.
They often tell us their opinions.
"Focus on serving the best interest of clients!!!"
Our company has become larger than one year ago. But the essence has never changed all the time.

However the most important reason is that they treat us delicious food and expensive drinks quite often....(*^^)v

I work for a certain consulting firm. I think it'a wonderful company!!!
So I never want to quit my job, however I have some troubles recently.

It wasn't a foreign-affiliated firm and some of co-workers spoke English one and a half years ago.
So I didn't need to be ashamed that I couldn't speak English.
But...the number of employees has doubled in the past a year and besides the number of English speakers has doubled too.
Moreover,last Tuesday I was suprised that my co-worker who wasn't so good at speaking English was talking with a foreigner in English.

I began to have a sense of impending crisis...
This is the reason why I continue studying English.

I will do my best!!!!

Maybe.......(-_-;)

This story happened about 1 month ago too.....
There are 3 characters in it.
My old boss "Y" and My preasent boss "M" and I. We go to same English conversation school.

One day 'Y' and 'M' and I were talking about English, English conversation, several ways of studying English, and our teachers and so on.

Y : I'll take a fair-haired pretty female teacher's lesson tomorrow!

I didn't feel like losing to someone at that time...

Me : I don't lose against you! I often study English from goodlooking guys!

I insisted above.
So 'M' said...

M : I think....you are two of a kind.
