*I closed comments on this post because it was getting tons of spam. I guess that’s what happens when you use a title of a popular book! As dynamic as the title of this post may seem, I actually had a pretty relaxing day today. But, the definitely highlight is that I finished reading David [...]

So! My plans changed rather suddenly today. Mami and I are actually in the process of looking for a place of our own, and we need a guarantor. The guarantor generally needs to be a family member or relative who is currently living in Japan, which leaves it up to Mami. She happened to get [...]

Ever since I started writing this blog, it feels like there hasn’t been a day that has passed without something significant happening. I wonder if something significant actually happens to all of us every day, except that we don’t always have a background purpose or vision to give meaning to it. After all, I’m sure [...]

I just finished writing an important email and now it’s 5:18am, so I figured I should probably go to sleep. I’ll have an update tomorrow =D

I missed my interview. My interview was at 12pm, but somehow over the course of yesterday I somehow started thinking that it was at 1pm. So I woke up, got ready, got pumped up, and went out with the full intention of getting to the interview early. Just as I’m heading down the elevator I [...]

With thanks to Cecil, I have an interview set up tomorrow with English OK! The cool part of it all is that English OK is a company that does corporate training and targets the retail and restaurant market, so I might be able to work with people form the fashion sector. Also, by Cecil’s suggestion, [...]

About a month after I moved into Sako-san’s place, he asked me to style him. He first approached the topic by asking me why I decided to become a stylist. We had previously talked about the topic, but he wondered why I insisted so strongly on such a dream when he felt I didn’t necessarily [...]

My life was changed several times today. I suppose that might be an exaggeration, but I think it happens to all of us. We usually just don’t realize those moments as they happen. So first of all, I woke up at 8am, which for me is a great achievement when not working or going to [...]

This morning when I woke up I found that I got an email from Koutoku (the hair stylist)! He said that he’s set the grounds for me to meet with the stylist that he knows and asked me about my schedule to set a date. I have the event with Sugimoto-san tomorrow, but if things [...]

So first things first. Here’s a big update on what I’ve been doing so far here in Japan! Yesterday, Sako-san’s wife and dog came from Kobe for the weekend, so Mami and I decided to stay at Nakayoshi-san’s place in Noukendai, Yokohama until Monday. After all, four people and a dog don’t quite have enough [...]
