How to get big eyes


Hi, GuysJ Did you watch the very big moon called “supper moon” last Sunday night?  I did! The big moon was bright and beautiful. 

 

By the way, I think that it is natural for women to hope for becoming beautiful or sweet.  Of course, I also do.  Then how can they make their selves so?  Many of them believe that eye makeup is very important and I agree with them.  As a key cosmetic, they often use false eyelashes.  I am always surprised with many different types of them at cosmetic store.  But actuary I don’t like them. There are two reasons why I dislike them.  First, I have to take care about false eyelashes not to come off my lid.  I need to keep my lid dry because the glue is not waterproof.  It is very annoying for me.  Second, it takes time to set it on my lid.  I don’t want to spend so much time on makeup because I am poor at waking up early in the morning.  However, I wanted to get big eyes.  So I decided to put the eyelashes extension and I did today!  It is surely a little expensive, but I don’t have to put false eyelashes or to curl my mascaraed eyelashes!  It is very easy, isn’t it?

A Happy Day


Hey, Guys ;)  Now a typhoon is approaching Japan and it brings heavy rain in Honshu, the main land of Japan.  But it isn’t going to hit here, Hokkaido, so it is a little more comfortable here than in Honshu.

 

I had my hair cut and dyed in a beauty salon today <3  Sadly, my hair was very damaged and faded because three months passed since I went to other beauty salon.  Therefore I added an optional hair treatment for 1,000 yen.  I chose violet-brown color.  That’s because the hairstylist who took charge of me advised me that the color changes into pink-brown color which I hoped through shampooing several times.  I am satisfied with her work J  I went to the JR tower for shopping after I finished my hairstyling.  I didn’t think of what should I buy, however I came across a nice white blouse embroidered cute black cats in collar.  I am so happy to have got it in reasonable price, 1,500 yen!  I am an economical shopper!! DDD  Also, I bought some cosmetics and accessories.  Although I spend a lot of money, I had a very happy time today J

Hospitality English for Restaurant Staff


Hello! It is so hot today, isn’t it?  I enjoyed this weather with two ice creams today!!DDD

 

As I wrote before, I work as one of restaurant staffs and sometimes have trouble with foreign customers because of the different language.   So I went to a bookstore and bought this great book!

 


 

This is the very book I have been looking for J  To my shame, I didn’t know even what to say at first when customers come into a restaurant.  I think that this is very useful one for beginners who want to learn hospitality English for their jobs like me.  Then I translated what I always say to customers from Japanese into English referring this book.  The result is follow as:

Good evening! How many people are there in your group?  (a customer say, “There are four”.) Certainly, sir. Please follow me.  Then, please take this table.  Here are your menus.  Have you ever had dinner here?  (he say, “No, this is the first time.”)  OK, let me explain something to you.  We have steaks and hamburg steaks.  And salad bar comes with all food except side menus.  We have salad, soup, curry, pasta, fruit, jelly, and ice cream in salad bar.  There Cowboy steaks are a little tough, so if you prefer tender stakes, we recommend these Premium sirloin steaks.  Then, please push the button when you decide.

I wonder that there are some grammatical mistakes.  I felt I have to study English harder and harder.

The 40th Recitation Contest!


On last Sunday, the 40th Recitation Contest was held at the HGU by HESSL, the group of some ESS clubs in Hokkaido.  All participants gave great performances and I was so impressed!  I was particularly happy because Yusuke, a guy who is in first grade and performed in Poetry section, won the third prize!!  Reo, who gave a great speech, couldn’t get a prize, however his performance was wonderful.  And though members of Drama section couldn’t get prize unfortunately, they showed the best performance ever they have acted.  We second graders were chagrined and sorry that we didn’t able to guide them to get a prize.  But we were solaced by their smiles and words that thanked us for our help.  Anyway I am glad that they enjoyed their first contest.

 

By the way, I got some happy news!  One of my senior in the ESS club received notice of an informal decision!!  So I am going to the party for him tomorrow and now I’m thinking what present I should give him.  I think that a tie is best gift for congratulations of unofficial decision.  I guess that wine color one is suit him nicely.    Then I am planning to go shopping before the partyJ
