As I lost my diary in January this year on the way back from Bangkok, I decided that I would start a Blog - I just hadnt gotten round to it for a while. As its my first ever blog not quite sure what to do or how to do anything and for some reason this blog settings page has decided to work only in Japanese which is a bit of a nuisance.
Started my new job in PR on March 1st. Pretty tough work as I am not used to PR-ing. Am working all hours at the moment, and find myself at work even at the weekends. I feel totally lost and everything I am doing is being done in slow motion. It seems to take me 3x times longer just to do the most basic things and that is the most frustrating thing ever.
Oh yeh and everything is done in Japanese, the only time I get to use English is when I create presentations. I guess I realised this when I requested the transfer, I just didnt realise how mentally tiring it would be.
Am spending most of the day caravaning ( visitng various Internet Beauty sites to push our products and ask them to give us some coverage). and then come back, work on a media plan for our new gloss + arrange a huge press party... all for Mid April. (amazes me how nothing had been done before I joined!! - oh yeh only thing that had been done was Princess (my manager) managed to piss off one of the largest talent agencies in Japan. We may never be able to work with celebrities again!!)
Just came back from a lovely weekend in Nasu(about 2 hours from Tokyo) with BF (it was his 33rd B-day). Stayed in a really hideous hotel which was totally overdone in faux English/French. But BF`s sempai had kindly booked this place for us and even paid half our stay for us to have a nice time so I cant complain.
I even played 18 holes of golf and made it to the end. And surprisingly we didnt even argue on the course once!!! My score - 130ish. Not bad for the 5th time ever! I might even suggest going to play again sometime soon. Think BF wants me to play more.. we shall see.
found the most amazing Daruma ( lucky charm things - you are supposed to draw in one eye and when your wish comes true you can draw in the other!) factory... BF bought a HUGE specially crafted one for his company. It should arrive tomorrow. (hence the random photo of a daruma at the top!!)
Came back totally knackered and to discover that it had been raining and v windy in tokyo over the weekend. so much so that all my laundry had blown off the line and all over the balcony. (all 4 loads of laundry that my new cleaner had done for me!!) so spent the past 4 hours washing and hanging... annoyance.
Anyway this is probably long enough and am probably boring the pants off anyone who is reading this.
Next week I have both my 30th B-day Party and my Uni Professors` dinner party as well as a huge press party to arrange.. gonna be a busy week!
Guess I had better get going. am gonna do a face pack and go to bed early tonight I reckon.
