What’s new?

Hi this is Shoko.  How have you been?  I’m getting lost my English little by little which I spent a lot of time to learn, listen and study for four years.  Can you imagine without speaking English everyday for a while?  I even can’t.  I’m so belong there, I hope America misses me already.  lol

Anyways, I will tell you what’s new with me.  

I moved away from my hometown on 15th to Osaka where is the second biggest city in Japan.  Of course the west side.  (I was thinking to move out of western japan but I couldn’t.  If I don’t feel like it, I guess I should not commit to it.)  Well, Osaka city is great.  Nice feeling of powerful people, loud places and many things that really attractive to me.  It seems to be almost New York City to me because of the crowd.  And I’m even living around the city that I cannot sometimes deal with it.  (well, still my neighborhood is quite and safe so it’s good thing) so till today, I was unpacking, cleaning and registering etc.  I had to do job hunting around this area also.  I’m applying for some company as a photographer.  Most of companies offer a photographer to be a portraiture, wedding and kids photographer.  I applied that one but I’m not sure that I can get this job so I also offer an event photographer in night life of Osaka.  It’s kind of cool, I didn’t expect that I would love to do, but anything that involved to photography is always good.  So I guess I want to have two jobs to deal with.  But the question that I had was the guy I had an interview with today asked me if I would love to work as an ARTIST or a WORKER.  I didn’t know what my answer was.  His meaning was an ARTIST（職人）has to handle by themselves, not working with someone which.. I could easily do.  And a WORKER（営業）has to deal with people, talking to them, make a plan with them and etc which.. I love to do as a job.  He likes my attitude for work but he has told me that I’m super doper positive. lol  I guess this is good thing isn’t it?

Well, getting jobs right now is pretty difficult and it’s kind of stressful that I have to wait for reply and go to see them in the interview and again, I got to wait for a final answer whether I can work or not.  

Tomorrow I will talk to the school that I will go to.  It is expensive school but I really would love to know the tech.  So I will take graphic design and web design.  I don’t know which one is the best from photography and those.  It doesn’t need to be the one.  

The happiest thing is where I live.  The place is huge and nice and comfortable that I don’t want to go outside.  Well, this weather is killing me so that’s why I don’t really want to get out of the house.  

Anyways I will keep on going.  Never stop man! 

p.s. my mother has mentioned that I will never get married because of my NAME.  Some of you know that SHOKO in chinese characters is very strong mean of LUCKY GIRL.  And I don’t know why she is telling me NOW.  but who cares.  I don’t get married?  Whatever.
