“ You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the one who’ll decide where to go.
— Dr. Seuss

twittered and iPhoned

とりあえずまだau携帯中心ですが、iPhoneの世界に踏み込んじゃいました。ちょっと楽しい。iPod touchは引き取り手も見つけたので、これで準備万端。って事でtwitterも開始。さてさて、どんなもんなのかしら。

Beginning of a good week

今日はいつも以上に仕事で悪戦苦闘。と同時に色々と良い方向に進みだした気もする。でも総じて大変な一日。それを癒してくれるかのように、16歳からの友、Renaがちょびっと早い誕生祝いをしてくれた。えーんえーん、ありがとおおお!サプライズケーキまで用意してあって、感動。あっという間の3時間。やっぱりガールズトークは楽しいね。今日はよく眠れそう。本当にありがとね、Rena!  楽しいバースデーウィークの始まりだ!

Another hectic and chaotic day at work.  Actually today was worse than usual.  But, I think things are going to start to pick up from here.  Although it was a chaotic day, it ended very well with my friend Rena celebrating my birthday which is coming up soon.  3 hours of non stop girls talk plus an awesome surprise cake.  Thank you so so so so so much Rena, you totally made my day.  What a good way to start the fun birthday week!

Note to self...

Managementって難しい。まだまだ青いぞ、私。もっと勉強しないと。。。もっとしっかりしないと!世の中のリーダー、経営者はどうやって来たのだろう?やっぱ試行錯誤と経験値?だよね。。。下記のquotesを常に念頭に、頑張りまっす!

“Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.”

“The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision.”

“Leadership is action, not position.”

“Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.”

MJ Rocks!

So I’ve been saying this over and over but he really does rock.  Got the This Is It DVD yesterday…  Got home very late but I just HAD to watch it.  It was nice to hear what the dancers, band members and the vocalists had to say.  It must be so inspiring and exciting to be able to work with your long time idol or someone you’ve always looked up to…

昨夜家に帰るのが遅かったのに、This Is Itが届いていたので本編+特典映像を全て見てしまった。特典映像よかった~。ダンサー、バンド、ボーカリストが全員MJとの仕事について話したりしてたのだけど、自分のアイドルやずっと尊敬をしていた人とお仕事できるってきっととっても最高な気分なんだろうな。観て思ったのが、やっぱり自分って小さい人間だなと、思い知らされた。謙虚でいなきゃ。。。身の程を知るって大事だわ。

one after another

Lots of visitors from Italian headquarter for the next several weeks.  One this week, two next week followed by at least two more…  The Japan office is the place to be right now I guess :)

続々とイタリア本社から来日者が。。。今週一人。来週二人。その後も最低あと二人は来る予定。東京オフィスが今熱いらしい!(笑)っていうか、今年は去年以上にやりまっせ。面白いプロジェクトはたくさんあるし。燃えてます。(燃え尽きないようにしないとね)

Brunch

Had brunch with a friend at Grand Hyatt’s French Kitchen.  Very nice, relaxed ambience with great food.  Talked so much; I think I am going to lose my voice since I have a sore throat to begin with!  But had a great time and it was totally worth losing my voice over.  I feel so blessed to have great friends.
