I made the crossover last April this year.
I’ve grown up and started painting my nails. Not by myself, unfortunately. It’s that “little” gift I gift myself with every month for working like a horse. 😅
Today, to usher in the new year, I requested for a happy colour. 🥰
My gel nail artist created a colour combination just for me.
A couple months ago, Yui told me she has a crush on one of her teachers in her after school school.
Last week, she told me she confessed and expressed her feelings to the guy, 12 years her senior and twice as tall. I wanted to ask details about how she said it, what was the setting, (and most importantly) what he said. She just wouldn’t share she eventually got angry because I kept on badgering her.
And then this evening, she suddenly blurted out, without preamble: he told me to say again what I said ten years after (in Japanese).
I was at first confused on what she meant. Then it dawned on me. Ahhhhh!!! I’m happy for my baby though.
My baby. Now a lady with crushes.
I believe anybody would consider being able to change someone, for the better, as an achievement of a lifetime. Especially when you didn’t intend to do it. That by just being yourself, you’ve brought change.
Hence I was totally humbled when a colleague/boss told me how the whole project (process) team – 15 of us – changed, for the better, after I joined the team. How a once non-interactive team got more engaged and finally truly acted as a team just by being my communicative self.
I didn’t see the compliment coming, who would?! Especially since I joined at month 4 and hence my role wasn’t as lead, not even for a dedicated unit.
But indeed, if I would be honest with myself, I could see some change. No, not the whole team – even if I be truly truly honest to the core, I could not see the whole team had changed just because of me. But I did see the difference in a few people. How they got more passionate with their work, where before, there was lacklustre; and how a few became happier and more communicative. Was it because of me?! I wouldn’t dare claim that. They most likely just realised something within the month of my joining the project.
Nevertheless, dear colleague/boss/mentor, I am deeply grateful that you think so highly of me. I am truly humbled.
Mark Twain said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment”.
Your compliment, however, will last me a lifetime and will continue to inspire me to be a better person than I was yesterday. Thank you.
…is you can dress her up in the cutest dresses there are.
Or use the cutest gadgets! Yes, even with thermometers.
Happy Hearts Day everyone!
Had a long inner debate whether to post this or not. But they’re just so cute not to share.
Went inside a drug store to buy a small pack of wet tissue. But Mayumi and I saw these and of course we just had to buy although we still have quite a number of rolls at home. 😀
Pink one is candy scented while the green one is melon scented. 🙂
