Presentations, lectures, studying...things I shouldn't be doing during summer break

I am a currently an intern at a Human Resources company called "Adecco". During the past couple of weeks I have switched "bushyo" and I don't know how to say that in english, but I guess it would be sections of the company--simply said.
I spent a week with jinji-which is human resources, koubai-which is procurement, and I forgot the name of the very first one...haha. I am such a horrible intern.

But seriously do I really have to make presentations...? siigh. It's so stressful because I have to present in front of the managers/bosses. and in Japanese.

Well good thing this week I don't have aaaaannyyy presentations! yay!
so happy!

I've been kind of down lately though because I don't have David around...it is definitely harder than I thought it would be. I miss him so much. He gave me his cologne and I spray it on my pillow every night before I sleep so I can smell him (yes, I guess that could be considered a bit creepy. BUT I MISS HIM).

So what else have I been doing with my life?
May Wildman, my bestest friend in the whole world is in Japan and we have been partying it upppp (kinda not really) but we went to her sister's graduation on Saturday which was kinda boring...but good food in the end. PLUS it is really probably the last time I will go to ASIJ ever. David said I was being dramatic (fb post), but I spent most of my life going to that school, everyday, all day, and it feels like a part of me.

I'm so excited to go out with maymay tomorrow. We are having our traditional wednesday night dinner! And we've actually got it planned this time, a SPAIN-ISH restaurant. I should brush up on my spanish so I can be super professional espanish speaker to the Japanese servers...hah

Another piece of awesome information: I am working out everyday, and did 40 pushups today! It's a huge improvement from the first day I worked out this summer (aka 3 pushups)
I feel strong!

made a banana honey lemon facial mask today. It smelt pretty good, but I don't think it worked, in fact I think my face has more red spots on it now. siigh. nothing works.
If anyone knows ANYTHING to help cure pimples/a gross face. por favor. let me know.
Also let me know what I should learn on my ukulele. I play the same songs over and over and it's starting to get old.

Updates on the wedding prep:
I've got my beeeauuuuutiful dress.
We almost have the invites ready
We pretty much don't have anything set in stone, but we will by the end of this week/next week (hopefully if people email us back)
IT IS SO HARD TO CONTACT PEOPLE OVERSEAS. 

I've got lots of cute decoration ideas and I'm sooooo excited to try them once I get to California. Which is hopefully July 25th (or 23rd/24th)
My knees hurt from running.
I'm literally writing everything that is crossing my mind. 

The photo loader is not working. 
waaaahh. i will put pics up later. 

Well hello there.

I have completely forgotten that I had a blog...I've been so busy with everything I'm kind of going insane.
I wish I had David here with me so everything was easier. I just want a hug...is that too much to ask?

I need to update big time. I've done so many things within the past 1.5 months, it's crazy!

don't even know where to start...

Mis Primos

I hadn't seen my Japanese cousins in 2 years, until yesterday. And before that I didn't see them for 5 years. And we only live 30-40 minutes away.
It was so nice to see them, AND we've made it a goal to see each other at least once a month until I go off and get married! 


I miss my roommates, and especially my Fiance. I love living with my parents, but I definitely need him in my life RIGHT NOW.

桜

My mom and I went to Shimokitazawa today to get our hair done,

I got BANGS!

I forgot what it feels like to have bangs...

On the way there, we passed many Cherry trees.

Something you must know about sakura:

Out of the whole year the the blossoms are visible for 

one week.

Sakura blossoms are very delicate, if the wind blows many of the petals float away.

I want to name my daughter (when I have one), Sakura :) 

 

 桜大好き！

Jetlag is my best friend.

This is definitely NOT the first time I've been jetlagged, but I forget how horrible it is every single time. 
It is currently 4:40 in the morning, and I have already been up for one hour...
Which means...I will get sleepy around 12-1pm today, and then I will go to sleep around 7pm. 
Because 7pm in Japan means 12am in hawaii. 
Awesome. 

I'm leaving on a Jet Plane

I am going home today.

Bitersweet.

IZ.

Let me take the time to explain the title of my blog, "Like Lemondrops".

Israel "IZ" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole sang "Somewhere over the rainbow/What a wonderful world". (also from the Wizard of Oz)
In one of the verses it says: :
            When troubles melt like lemondrops
                     High above the chimney tops that where...
                               You'll find me.

To have your "troubles melt like lemondrops" is a childlike attribute. I wish I could go back to being a kid...
