3 級の日本語能力試験だけど

ついに日本に仕事が見つかった。今でも信じられなかった。毎日どきどきしたり、一生懸命働く。お客に英語の対応だけど、同僚にはいつも日本語だ。これからも頑張る。是非1級の日本語能力試験を取りたいなあ。マキちゃん、ありがとう。

Working in Shinjuku

It took me 1 and a half year, 100 online jobsite accounts, and 600 resumes to work in Shinjuku. It doesn't proof I am done here. In Japan, you have to work up from part time to haken (temporary employee); contract to permanent, semi full-time to full-time. The fun part is this was actually my last chance that I gave myself that if I couldn't find any job by the end of August. I would be heading back to Hong Kong. What are choices?

There are choices in life won't matter, like should I have Italian or Japanese tonight? Should I have PC or MAC? should I pay for her? should I borrow to him? should I throw this away? there are choices that matter significant in life, like running through a red light, breaking up with her, firing your boss, feeling ashamed to tell them you love them even you wanted to (that is fine if you don't want to), feeling too late to tell them you love them even you wanted to (mean you can only do it in front of their graves), taking the wrong train or flight, asking them not to leave, staying with them instead of taking off, going to college, applying for that loan, saying such a terrible thing, hiring and firing someone inappropriately, not going to vote...etc. So let think twice before you do any of those above.
