Mordialloc beach

I got up early today even on dayoff, and I went to Mordialloc beach :) 

My sandals above are my favourite Nine West, I think they were 2010 model. So colourful and they instantly make me feel summer has come! :)
 
I have never been to this beach but it remind me of the beach I have been to somewhere in Australia.

I love beach. 

This is one of the reasons why I moved down to Australia. 

The beach in Victoria is nothing compare to the ones in Queensland I am used to but still the contrast of the white sand, dark ocean blue and sky blue makes me feel so happy :)

Interesting that the sand is different everywhere! 

I went to Chelsea Beach when we had few lovely summer days last week. The water seems more clear in Mordialloc and the beach is so much bigger than Chelsea. But it seems more people and noise in Mordialloc. I was lying on the beach for 3 hours but all I heard was different languages; French, German, Chinese, Indian and English. How amusing.

When I was in Queensland, I used to go to Currumbin Creek, which is quite south part of Gold Coast. Very local beach spot I assume. Mordialloc apparently has a creek as well so I was excited to go and have a look but it seems it's just a boat dock.. What a Shame! 

But I liked the way people walking around with their bare feet and in a surf shorts and bikini. Reminding me of GC so bad. I felt like I'm back in beach culture, and it was nostalgic


Anyhow, I finally booked Yoga and also waiting for the confirmation from Belly Dancing class. 


So excited to start new thing(yoga) and the dance I used to learn back in Japan(belly dancing). Tomorrow is Burlesque lesson. 

Night all! x

State of Origin Game 2

Tonight is the night! 

State of Origin Game 2..as I mentioned in a previous blog, I'm a Queensland supporter! 

I was watching with my boyfriend's family without him lol.

Unfortunately he has an exam tomorrow..so he missed it. 

Anyway they are from Queensland (him, his sister&him mum moved down to Melbourne 6-7years ago) and his sis's husband is born in Melbourne so he goes for family team. 

I, myself, lived in Brisbane for awhile and believe that I'm a queenslander too, so I go for Maroons as well! 


We went to watch the first game at Etihad stadium in Melbourne, and Queensland won*hooray!*. 

This time, the game was on in Sydney, so the supporters are pretty much all blues(NSW team colour is blue, QLD team colour is maroon).


Well, to be honest, it was a tough game, and it looked like the ground was a bit slippery. 

But as a qld supporter, it was such a bad game too...they kept dropping the ball and missed all the chances..:(

A lot of injuries tonight too.. 

We lost, but I say it was fair enough and we will win on the game 3 in Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, QLD! 

We can't loooooooose!!!!! 

I'm sad but let's just forget it. NSW should feel happy sometimes since they have been loosing the games 6 years in a row(correct?) :P

Can't wait for the game 3. It will be good! 

Queenslander!!!! :)

More than a year!

It's been AWHILE!!!

Well it's been more than a year..oops again!

I successfully graduated from school and was the first to graduate *hooray!*

I moved down to Melbourne in Feb (from Brisbane) since my boyfriend lives here
*let's talk about him next time :P*

And I was offered a restaurant manager position! *woo hoo!*

Although I still miss the beautiful Queensland weather, life is good here. 

I was so frustrated with my visa situation

It kinda worked out!

I still have to go to Japan this coming July to change my visa 

But my owners  mentioned about sponsorship (and that is why they offered me a manager role too)

So I might be able to stay in Australia, and which is a fantastic news for me!

I am so excited to manage new place!

It is my first experience so I've got loads of things to learn

But I'm looking forward to it  at the same time :)

My team and staff are very passionate about coffee making! 

I just hope everything goes well..!! :)

Such a mess

Hello ppl!
Today I FINALLY started cleaning up my room. It's still quite messy, but I guess I did pretty well!
It was such a beautiful day, so I've decided to go outside for abit before the cleaning-up. I used to go to Southbank alot when I was staying in Brisbane, but since I came back to Japan, it was winter, so I was staying in my house all the time. Now, summer has finally come, so I went out and was reading my favourite book-"Vanity Fair"-under the sun:)

*Southbank,Brisbane


And this is with my beloved dog-Dan!


He was abandoned and I found him in my backyard. It's been 4 years already. So, we still dont know how old he is...He has been such a good boy, and we love him so so sooooo much!!!:) I wish I could show him Australia but I know its quite hard to do..:( I will miss him!

Well, back to the cleaning. I found heaps of books my mum bought when I was a kid. I still dont know what to do with them! Oh and I also found lots of photos as well...and I started looking at all of them hahaha ;) I still dont know what to bring to Australia!!! ahhh I hate cleaning up my room!!!!!!!

Then I went to the theatre for a movie! It's a Jap one and is called "TRICK". It's a really wicked one, and I loved it so much!!!! I'd love to watch it again hahaha

Have a lovely sunday x

Melbourne, here I come!!

YAY!
I just booked a room in Melbourne and also booked a flight from Melb to Brisbane!!:)
One of my snailmail penpals offered me to stay at her place for the first week (Thanks Kelly!!), and then I'm staying in the city. I was thinking about staying in somewhere cool and nice but I just love to stay with a bunch of people in a domitory room at backpackers! So, I've decided to book a 8 share domitory! BUT..I just realised that its not "female only" room..lol Silly me. Well if its such a bad place and if everyones in my room will be all guys, then I will ask the staff to change the room or just cancell my stay and go to other backpackers!hahahaha
Awww I just cant wait for visiting Melb and all my friends there!!!

Have a great evening! x

Summer is comin'!!

G'day people!
How was your weekend? Here in Japan, We are having "Golden Week", which is a kind of a short break(usually 6-10days off). BUUUUUTTT!!!! I've been working at Starbucks coffee (for 4 years now) and as you know, we are busy on weekends and on holidays, so I have to work so hard while everyone is on breaks. Well, luckily I am having MY Golden Week after the real one(8days off!!!). I'm very looking forward to it!!:)
Well, in my city, we are having a BIG festival here...
