What I did from Friday night to Monday afternoon.

Friday
Almost every Friday nights, my friends and I have a small drinking party at his house. My friend, who lives in an aprtment at Down Town, is my ex-class mate.
He is really good person, so he provids us the place willingly every time.
So, last Friday after I finished working, I went to his house.
My friends made humbergers for us, and I helped to cook garlic toasts.
What we made for dinner were awesome. We did some Japanese game. It was so funny, because we were little bit drunk, so we could not do it well.
The member were 2Korean boys and 3Japanese girls (include me) and 2 Japanese boys.
When we met together, we had to speak English, so it was really good for me.

Saturday
Naoko and I met Jae-Shin to have his birthday lunch!! We made a promise
maybe 1week ago, but one of my friends forgot about it totally.
So he did not come to us at our meeting time. We went to Korean Restaurant
except him. When I asked Jae-shin what he wanted to eat, first of all he
said that anything was OK. And then I said to him that he could choose whatever
he wanted to eat. So we went to Korean Restaurant. I think we had really good
time each other.
After we had lunch, we went to London Drugs because Jae-shin had to buy
something for his host mother. And then Geun Sung was coming, so we stayed
together and Naoko and I followed them to go a kind of shopping.
Finally they got something for her, so it was good for them.

Sunday
I went to the movie, " Monster In Law" with my friend. The movie was
interesting for me. Actually I do not like Jeniffer Lopez, because
her acting is not so good, I think. However, Jane Fonda is really great.
I like her very much. Michael Vertan is also good, because he is so
handsome. He is awesome, even though I do not know about his acting.
After I said good-bye to my friend, I met my another friend.
We went to the cake shop on Denman Street. The shop's name is
" The true Conffection". The cake of this shop is fabulous!!
While we were eating cake, we talked about our future and something each other.
At that time, her talking made me realized that I was really lazy.
I did not make any effort. I spoiled myself. I have to try to be
diligent. Because nowadays I did not study English hard. And
she gave an advice for me. We should not say and think of negative things.
I have to try to be optimistic!! If we are optimistic, our life will be
getting better and easier than before, I think.

Monday
Today, I went to play tennis with my friend and 2weeks has passed since we
played teniss last time. I could not hit the ball well, but my friend
did not get angry with me. He is really patient!! I appreciate him.
So, today we played tennis at the Stanley Park!! First the weahter, it
was not so good, but gradually it was getting better and really nice weahter
like summer. We enjoyed playing tennis each other.
After that we sparated, and I met Naoko at Art Garalley Cafe.
I have not been to there for a long time, so I was really happy to go there.
We had of coures, cake and someting to drink. We talked about something.
When I met her, she was getting well, so I really felt relived.
Tomorrow, I have to go to work again, it will be really tough for me,
but I try to do my best because I am so lucky!!

I feel so good.

Today, in the morning it was raining, but after I finished working, it stopped raining. Even though, it wasn't raining, my co-worker who had driven me 2days ago drove me to my house again!! She is really nice, and while we were in her car, she talked many things to me, so I felt really happy. Actually my English is not so good, but she tried to understand me. And when she was talking something, I was just listend to her and I was just nodding. When I was listening to her, it was so good practice for me. I really want to get used to hearing what Canadians say.

So, today when I was working, I learned a new thing. I did a batch!!
That sounds so exciting, do'nt it? I felt as if I were an accountant!
BUt actually this work is not so complicated, but for me it's little bit
difficult. I do not know about their accounting system, so I have to remember
to use their accounting system. But I think their accounting system is
little bit similar to my former company's accounting system which they had
before.

After I have dinner, I have something to do. It is ironing my 3 shirts.
It' gonna be hard work!!

Snack and Sweets

Today, I went to work, so I mean also today I had just usual life, the same with yesterday. I think if we have a job, we have the same life with what we did in Japan. But I saw many people who really enjoy their lives even though they work diligently. Why do they can enjoy their lives? I think they have their own hobbies and they try to enjoy their lives after their work.
Now I am working at the office from 8:00 to 4:00. After I finish working,
I have enought time to do something, because now it is still light outside.
I think summer is comming now!! The sun is still there until 9:00.
What a great weather and climate!! I like the summer of Vancouver.

Anyway, after I finished working, it was raining little bit hard.
So my boss said to me that some co-worker would drive me.
I was so lucky and I asked her to take me to the bus stop, but
she was so kind and she drove me to my house!! She is always really
kind. I appreciate her and also everyone at the office.

Fortunately, when I came home, the rain stopped. And suddenly I felt
to eat some snacks and sweets. I decided to go to the shopper's drug
mart in 15th street and Lonsdale Ave. It takes 30min from my house
to there by a walk. I went to there and finally I got some snacks and sweets!!

Lays potato chips $1.49 x 2
Oreo Cookies $2.46
Gummie $1.99
Note $0.99

When I started to eat potato chips, I could not stop eating them.
I was really scarely, if I can not stop it, I will be a huge pig!!
I do not want to be. So, I stopped it.

I will try to work hard tomorrow!!

The first saraly!!

Today, I got the first saraly in Canada!! I want to say to myself " Congratulation, me!!" I am really happay!! I did not expect that a such day
came to me so soon!! By the way, I had to write the reason that today I could get a saraly. I started to work for some Canadian Company from May7th. And
The cosing date( how do I say? I think it is a kind of the deadline.) to calucualte the saralies of employees was the 2nd monday of the month.
so, I handed in my time sheet (just one day's time sheet.) on last monday,
and today eventually my boss gave me the first saraly!!

Today was the 7th day when I started to work there. Until today I helped the accounting office person's small work, for example, filing many documents, opening letters, sorting invoices, etc. I can not forget about filing many many documents at the department of payroll. When I was filing documents at payroll, it was really hard for me because I had to move a lot!! But it was good exercise for me, I believe. In fact I like that kind of job. When I was doing that, I was just in my world. Is it bad? Who knows?
Anyway, today I helped works at treasury. I checked some statements and accounting ledgers. It was interesting for me, but also it was really difficult for me, because I do not know how to use the accounting system of this company,
and I do not know how to see them. I know I made the office person annoyed, but
it cannot help doing this. Tomorrow I will try to do my best again!!
If I cannnot understand well, I will try to ask them immediately!!

SO, I will go to bed at 10:30!! because of tomorrow!!

Nowadays, the weahter is not so good. The weather changes many times!!
I cannot believe the weather forcast anymore. Who knows the future!!

Long time no written my diary.

My friend said to me that I have not written my diary for a long time!!
Actually I have already forgotten my diary. But I think that to keep a
diary is good for me because I can remember almost everything I did.
And so I decided to keep a diary as much as possible, moreover I try to write
my diary in English!! It will be very good exercise for me about studying
English. But I can not notice my mistake. Is it OK? I do not know.
But I think my friend will correct my mistake!! Anyway today is the third
time to write a daiary.

Nowadays, I started to work for the shipyard!! This company's employee
are Canadians!! So, I am so nervous when I am in the office. My English
is awful, when I have to talk with someone, I feel so nervous.
I have to get used to speakin English with them!! If I cannot get used
to them, I will be fired and it will not make sense that I am working there.

Today is my day off, so I just felt relaxed with my friends.
When I stayed with my friends, I can really relax!!

日記、2日目。バンクーバーに来て、本当によかったなと思える日が
まだ来ていない。いつか来るのか?とても心配。不安で仕方がないが
どうしようもないか?と思う今日この頃。そして、今日もまた寒い・・・。
友達ができたが、なかなか心のそこからこのカナダ生活を楽しめない。
それは、なぜか自問自答の3週間を過ごしている・・・。

初日記。

本日、2月8日。1月20日にカナダのバンクーバーに着てから、初めて日記というものをつける。このサイトを友達の廣に教えてもらった。なので、これからできるだけがんばって日記をつけることにする。ただし、デジカメの線を持ってきてないので、写真はなし。
