【しゃべくリアン】今伝えたいありがとう

どうもこんにちは
久しぶりのしゃべくリアンです！


今週のテーマは、「今伝えたいありがとう」


ほんといつも良いテーマ。笑
アメリカ生活がもうすぐ終わるので、今の僕が一番書きたかったテーマのひとつです。
俺の心が読まれてるって思うくらいタイミングばっちしです笑


ありがとうという気持ちは、いつも伝えてるつもりです。
親にも、周りの友達にも、もちろん彼女にも、そして人だけでなく環境にも。


ですので今日は、
アメリカに来たからこそ伝えられるありがとう
を伝えようかなと思います。

「日本という国と日本人に有り難う」

アメリカに来てから、僕は日本人というだけでとても優遇されたような気がします。


僕らからみるとforeignerにあたる人たちが僕たち日本人に抱くイメージが良く、そのおかげで信頼関係を築きやすかったり、文化交流を積極的に行えたりと、今思うと日本人ブランドというものに多いに助けられたと思います。


その日本人ブランドというものを作ったのは、もちろん先代の日本人だし、そこに対して有り難いな〜と感じる留学の終わりの今日このごろです。


もちろん先人だけじゃなく、ひとりひとりが異国の土地に来ても責任を持ち、相手に経緯を払いながら行動してきたからこそ、今の日本や日本人に対してのイメージがある。


そういうことを考えれば、僕自身もっと行動を改めるべきこともあったけども、日本人である自分をしたってくれ、日本に行くね！といってくれる友達ができたということは、ひとつの誇りでもあるな〜と大げさにも感じています。


一方で日本人のイメージを悪くしないですんだのかなと、少し安心していたり・・・笑


つまり僕が今日伝えたい感謝というのは、そういう長い年月をかけて積み重ねられてきた重みへのありがとうです。


こう書くと大げさに聞こえるけど、ほんまに日本て国はすごいんやで！って思う。
だから日本帰ってからは、日本を世界に発信したいと思う。


幸いにもLienという素晴らしい団体にいて、京都という文化歴史の地にいるんだから、それらを活かして、日本に帰ったら職人さんへのインタビューを開始したいと思ってる。
その記事をせっかく学んだ英語っているツールをつかって世界に広げて行けるように。


まだまだ未熟やけど、これから先が楽しみですわ！
こうやって日本帰ってからのやりたいことが、上で言ったことに至ったのは、日本の素晴らしさ、日本人の素晴らしさを海外に出て気づいたからやと思います。


この気づきにも感謝やね。
長々と失礼しました！
もうすぐ帰るのでいっぱいお話しましょ〜！！！

awesome weekend

Hi,
I'm Daito,
and today is Feb 22nd
(actually 23rd's morning)

what i'm gonna do is
talking about 21st, 22nd.


【21st】
i did internship as usual.
in the lunch time, i served Oden
to other intern.

after working,
i was waiting that my supervisor was coming
since we were going to have dinner together.

we went to starbacks to wait him.
we talked about many things.

after the supervisor came,
we went to bellevue to have Korean BBQ
(kinda 焼き肉)
it was nice!
we talked about our company's problem,
and future, cultural differences in company
and something like that.

after eating, the supervisor felt good
so that we drunk at friends house.

actually i had plans,
so i left earlier than other people.
(after that, it is said that crazy things happened to them, kkk)


【22nd】
i attend business plan competition.
as the result, we were unable to get first place,
but it was really good experience for me.

after that,
i hanged out with my gf's one of the best friend,
and her bf, and my gf.

we did bowling.
(it was really fun)

after that we bought alcohol and
went to karaoke.

it was too fun!
i took a lot of pictures.
(i'll post them on facebook later)


anyway, it was awesome weekend!
see ya!

Oden

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb 20th

as of tomorrow,
one year has past since i came here.
i feel like kinda nostalgic.


in lunch time,
we shared lunch with other interns.
one of them made Okonomiyaki,
one of them made ....i forgot name but it was really awesome.
i made Yakisoba, but that was suck like no taste, kkk
so i decided to cook seriously tonight.


so after working,
i went to japanese grocery store to buy some materials.
during looking around, i decided to cook Oden.

I bought some materials, and cooked.
it took long time to cook.
but i realized Oden is easy unless
i use おでんの元, omg
i want to learn how to cook!


after i did that,
i made powerpoint slides with my team members.
it's done, so we have to give a presentation on this Sat
to win at business competition.


see ya

hang out with classmates

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb 19th


today i had class.
before that, i carried my heavy stuff to my agent's office
to send them to my house. it was hard to carry, omg
because of that, i'd go back to japan easily since i don't have a lot of stuff.


after school, we went to wine bar to hang out with classmates by drinking wine.
but as you know i'm underage, so i ordered juice, omg
but i'm glad that i can enter.


now, i'm making presentation slides for business competition.
see you tmr!

online marketing

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is feb 18th


today i did internship,
and also i took class of online marketing.
but all that the teacher said is what i already knew,
so i was kinda bored...omg

i realized that i had enough knowledge of online marketing,
but i think like that's not enough to tell that i'm sophisticated about that.


i still have a looong way to go,
which means my life is gonna be more fun!!!


after i got home,
i wrote an article, and planed when i publish a book,
and read comic books, kkk


tomorrow, i'll send my half of stuff to japan.
see ya!

brings my memory back

Hi,
I'm Daito,
and today is Feb 17th


today was holiday, so what i did are
getting ready to pack my stuff to go back,
and writing an article,
and watching friends,
and going to see my gf off  to airport.


during getting ready to pack,
i found many stuff that brings my memories back
like score of toeic of last march,
and letters from my friends, and gf,
and notebook from my first quarter.


almost one year has past since i came here.
i feel like time is really quick flied.
i'll enjoy another one month by internship,
attending party, watching friends, hanging out with my gf,
and my housemates, and friends.


see ya!

sitting in front of my pc means....

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb. 16th


today is my relaxed day.
what i did today are
watching ted, watching friends,
listening to american pop music,
and writing an article.


actually these things are good practice to enhance my english skills.
it seems like i was just sitting in front of my pc,
but it's good english practice for me.


see ya!!

lots of learning, apology, appreciation

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb 15th


today i had birthday party for my friends.
actually i learned a lot from that party.
as the result, my achievement is like 40%
because i couldn't collect money enough.


the reason that i couldn't is that
i was mistaken that people who said i'd go were coming.
japanese tend to come if they said i'd come,
but American, or kinda pary people don't tend to come
even though they said like i'd come.


i didn't really understand the kinda culture difference.
i lost money, but it's kinda education fee for me.
cuz i learned a lot.


However,
I was soooo glad that people who came to the party
look fun by drinking, eating, chatting.


now that i looked back,
i think i did right things.
even though i lost money.


i'd like to say to the people who came today,
thank you so much for coming,
and spending fun time together.


i'd like to say to the people who supported me,
thank you for your help.
i can't tell how much i appreciate it.


and i'd like to say to the main character(birthday people),
i'd be glad if you guys had good time.
,and hopefully this is gonna be good memory for you.
thank you.


今日はいっぱいの学びと、
いっぱいのごめんと、
いっぱいのありがとうの日でした。


see ya!

i talked with workers for 2 ours,
and we decided to do investment game.

• we can trade just 10 times (buying counts one, selling counts one too)
• till beginning of Mar
• in order to join the game, you need $20

sounds fun right? kkk

i didn't expect i could learn how to analyze company stocks in seattle.

that's sooo useful for me.

and made a playlist made of my favorite english songs.

i'll practice to sing fluently. kkk

leaning more toward

Hi,
I'm Daito,
and today is Feb 12th


today i had a class.
it's boring as usual.


before that class,
i went to a library to study toeic,
i did a mock test of toeic.
actually it's not bad, but it's just ok,
so i have to review where i made mistakes.


after school,
i went to another libraries to write an article for my website.
library is where i can concentrate on what i want to do, or have to do.


after that,
i had dinner with my roomies
because one of my roomies is going back to his country.
we can meet in japan though, lol


many friends go back...
it makes me want to go back too,
but it's kinda mixed feeling.
i'm leaning more toward hoping to go back than hoping to stay more.


see ya!!

I'm happy for them

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb 11th


as usual,
today i did internship,
but there was some differences from as usual.
today i was not only watching my supervisor's job,
but also opening up some envelops,
and figuring out the information,
and organizing them in excel format.


it were really fun for me
cuz i had to read english document,
and loan amount, and figure out if
the credit score is good, or bad.


i made some mistakes like typing mistakes.
but you know. it's not on pc,
it's on typewriter!!! it seems really old.
the sound is loud, and hard to delete.
but i' getting used to it.


from this Thursday to Friday,
my supervisor is gonna be gone,
so i'm not sure what to do,
but i'm kinda excited about that.


after i got home,
i watched FRIENDS a lot.
and i started watching season 7,
big things happened.
i was clapping my hands on unconscious.
i'm happy for them.


see ya!!

last time that i got hair cut in US

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb 10th


today i attended client meeting.
i was able to learn how to set price on your products.
this is really useful for me.
client had been thinking of pricing,
so we were talking about it.


after that,
i organized insurance file
by looking into some documents
that we got from post office.


that's all what i did today as internship.
after that, i got hair cut!
i just talked with hair designer a lot
so that i forgot to tell her exactly
what i want to get my hair look like.


so now, my hair is not quite good actually,
cuz too short for me? omg
but it was my last time that
i got hair cut in US.


see ya!!

Business Plan

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb 9th


today i was thinking our business plan with my friends
since we decided to take part in "business competition" in seattle.
it's gonna be fun actually.


i'd never expected that i make business plan in US, kkk
i appreciate this opportunity.


the reason why my friends invited me to the team is
that they though i'm good at making presentation slides.


I'm glad to hear that, so i'll make effort to make them.


see ya!!

heavy snow!!

Hi,
I'm Daito

doing some tasks at great hot-chocolate cafe.
we can drink wine, or beer with nice chocolate!!
we stayed there for about 6hours, or what.

after that, we cooked Butakimuchi, and another spicy foods,
because as i mentioned,
it was heavy snow today in seattle.


because of heavy snow,
many plans were changed.

and learn history, but it's canceled.


so i have just one plan tomorrow!
see you!

did many things today

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today Feb 7th


today my supervisor left earlier,
so i just read some documents to learn about
"loan system of US"


but sometimes,
i wasn't able to concentrate on reading,
so i talked with another workers, kkk


today,
we were supposed to leave seattle to south place
to take TOEIC examination, but because of heavy snow,
we changed plan like we decided to take one next month.
i appreciate that my senior managed a lot about this whole things
like checking wether report and traffic information,  booking next month's seat,
and so.

took a nap

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb 6th


i did internship as usual,
but today i took a long class from 1pm to 4pm.
it was about finance of fundamental.
like balance sheet, income statement, cash-flow sheet.


it was useful for me since i've been thinking like
i had to get knowledge about finance a little.


after i got home,
i took a long nap, lol

i felt like it was already next day's morning
even though i'd been sleeping for 3 hours.
i'm sure 3 hours sleeping is best for me, lol
i'll leave seattle to somewhere to take toeic test, kkk

cuz it's really far so that i can't make it if i leave on the day of toeic, kkk
it's kinda small trip though.

wish me luck!
i'm not sure if i could write tomorrow's article.
see ya!
tomorrow,
after i finish working,

Tasks day

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb5th

today, I have too much tasks to attend class.
the tasks were like making review page by designing review that my friends gave me.
and studying toeic (cuz this weekend, i have exam of toeic)
and writing an article for my website. (the article is about study abroad things)

each task takes me long,
but i could finish almost all because i didn't attend the class today.

my toeic score is getting higher,
so i have no worries about like my score is under 800

tomorrow, i'll intern as usual.
see ya!

talking with workers

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Jan 4th

today i did internship,
what i did today were taking class of marketing,
and watching workers job,

Happy Birthday!

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb. 3rd


today is my girlfriend's birthday!
I'm glad to spend special day together.


today was my first day to work at another company
that has perfectly english environment.
what i did today was watching workers's job.
sounds like easy.
but the job is really complicated.

it's about finance things,
so that i think complicated, omg
it's gonna be fun though!!

after that,
i bought cake for her,
and had dinner with her.
hopefully, she thinks like it's memorable day,
and she'll like it that i made for her.


tomorrow,
i'll have lunch with workers,

and social media promotion.
sounds fun!!!


see ya!

Feb!!!

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Feb 2nd

today I'll write about what happened on 1st, and 2nd


【1st】
I went to watch hockey game!!
actually it was my first time to watch hockey game at field!
it was fun!!

before that,
i played video game at HUB with my gf.
she is not familiar with game things,
but i think we enjoyed!!!


【2nd】
i watched Super Bowl!!
Seattle Seahawks won!!
that's was awesome!!!
today is memorial-day.

another reason that today is memorial day is
i spent time with my gf to spent the moment of her birthday
by eating shrimp, and drinking.


Feb 3rd is her birthday!
Happy birthday!!!  
see ya!!

I got a job

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Jan 31th


today i had interview before i head to office.
actually it's been a long time since i had interview,
but it was very fun, and nice.

workers were really kind, and friendly,
and my desk has enough room,
and english environment!!!!!!

the company tends to take the students who want to learn about finance,
but i'm not interested in that.
how ever they accepted me as marketing position,
and business development position. that'd be great!

the most amazing thing is that
they have many classes for business people,
but i can take part in the classes with them!
sounds great doesn't it?

i might expect too much,
but i think it's better than my previous one for sure.
i don't mean my previous company is suck,
i just got used to it, it spoils me.

now i'm working on making LP
so that my friends gave me feedback of my book.

see ya!!
