Time
is flying by and I spend most of it with working and sleeping.
Btw
I've never talked about it here, but apart from my two part time
jobs, I also sometimes teach German / do doitsu-kaiwa
(german-conversation) privately. But it's a very irregular source of
income (like once a week or so). However doing this, already proved
me right: I am not made for a teaching position. I am not very
patient and I hate to repeat myself all the time. Teaching once a
week is already annoying me, doing this every day several hours –
no way! No, thank you!
No
big issues or changes at work lately. Except that the Hotel
Restaurant is still short on staff and I probably won't have many
days off again this month. And because there's no one around, I am
often alone or with a fellow part-timer in the restaurant. Means
„more responsibility“ and not being ordered around so much.
End
of June I met up with Naoko in Sannomiya after working at IKEA. We
originally planned to go to some spanish bar, but the one we picked
was full. So we wandered around and spotted other spanish bars or
bars offering tapas, but none looked interesting enough. We ended up
in HUB an british pub chain. As I thought, it was filled with
foreigners. Food was quite expensive, so we ordered only some cheese
plate and sweets. I had normal beer and mango beer. The mango beer
was really nice. Naoko paid for me as a belated birthday gift. I
returned the favor by paying our cake-sets at Doutor, where we headed
after HUB.
On
Thursday (5th July) I went to Osaka to help out at a
indian cooking event of Lisa's boss. She works for him at a language
school as a german teacher, but he also organizes monthly lunch and
dinner events, cooking indian and german dishes. I helped at the
indian curry lunch til about 5 and then Lisa came in and started her
shift, waitressing at the german dinner event. But I was glad I did
the indian lunch, because the food was really delicious. Could have
been hotter though! It was too mild for my taste.
I
also got to wear an indian long blouse, which actually felt really
comfortable to wear. Now I want to buy some indian inspired summer
clothing. The fabrics are so lightweight and perfect for japans
humid&hot summer weather.

I
also received my cherryculture.com haul! :

only
swatched on my arm. Those shadows are not very pigmented. All are
shiny/have shimmer. Considering the price, they are probably OK.
MILANI Minerals Blush with Brush

Luminous
MILANI Minerals Blush with Brush
Price $5.75
Luminous
It's
a nice color. Not very pigmented either. But that might be a good
thing too.. you can hardly put on „too much“ of this and it's
good to create a natural / healthy look. A real PRO-aspect of this
blush is the packaging. There's a mirror AND a brush attached to it! however it's still lightweight, so this is practical to carry
around!!

I
will probably use this a lot! It's a cute color, looking quite
natural on me (i can only wear natural looking make up because of my
jobs). It doesn’t smell and feels good. Probably not long-lasting.
Considering the price it's doing its job though!
