First days as a shopstaff at KariAng

First of all thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much for all of
your sweet comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm really so happy!!!! Thank you really so so so so much!!!!
This gives me a lot of power to continue blogging!!!
♥ ♥ ♥
So since last Thursday i started my job at KariAng
Wow and I have to say it's a lot more complicated to be a
shopstaff than i thought, but at the same time it's also a lot
fun!!!
First thing is that being shop staff is really challenging in
Japan. As i think of the service in clothes or any other shops
in Germany it's suuuuuch a difference!!! Those of you who
have been to Japan know well with what service the customer
"god" is treated in Japan. You really get to feel like a celeb,
especially at KariAng which is aimed at 20-40 women.
Service towards customers is really important because you want
the customer to come again.

---Of course the obligatory "Irrashaimase" (Welcome), and even if
you don't buy anything going out of the shop the customer gets
an "Arigatou gozaimasu" (Thank you so much).

---The keigo (polite Japanese) level is very high as when the
customer comes out of the dressing room you have to say
"otsukaresama de gozaimasu" with a loud voice and of course
in conversation only keigo is allowed

---You have to help the customer with e.g. closing buttons of
jackets for them, helping them go get inside the jacket etc.

----conversation is really a big point as a shopstaff. it's not good if
you don't start a conversation with a customer who even just comes
looking. If she watches or touches some display clothes for a longer
time you have to go there and for example tell something about this
item, about the details, how popular it is, with what other clothes
you can coordinate it and if she wants to try the item on etc.....
Honestly i really have trouble with this point as when I personally
go shopping I find it rather annoying when shopstaff try to involve
me into a conversation just because it's part of their work and just
when looking a little longer at one item. I prefer looking in my
own peace and finding out by myself how to coordinate items.

I really would be interested in your own experience and opinion
with shopping in Japan.
Do you like it when shopstaff involve you into conversation?
Have you had experienced shopstaff that is annoying?

It would be really sooooooo helpful to know your opinions

If you are interested in the place I work of course feel free
to visit the following links.

The interesting thing is that the KariAng designer Morimoto Yoko was a
former charisma shopstaff from Egoist!!!

PS: This time no Japanese version as I'm enjoying the small rest of my
day off lol

Thank you for reading

Short gyaru history of myself

First of all sorry for the lack of update recently!!!
And this time also just a quick blog entry because
yesterday KariAng called me and said that I got
the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sooooooooooo happy cause i finally finally after
a long jobsearch got my first positive reply!!!!

It's been working on my psychic a lot since I've only
gotten negative responses for the past few months and this
just dragged me down so much.

Well, KariAng was honestly saying not really my first
choice at all, but yeah, take what you get! i think
so....as I don't have too much alternatives at the moment
and i really need work and money

As for me, gyaru was always such an inspiration!!!
I've liked gyaru fashion and lifestyle since I was 16 and got my
hands on my first egg magazine 2003.


I was so much in love witht the style from the first moment
It was so different from anything i've seen before especially
from the boring fashion at that time in Germany.

So what i want to say is that Gyaru has been a part of me for
such a long time.
But when i start working at KariAng I guess that I have to say
goodbye a little from this part of myself.
As KariAng is aiming rather at women in their 30s the clothes
are much more subtle and simple then gyaru clothes.
And they also asked me to die my hair a little darker for work.

Though feeling a little nostalgic I don't think it's a bad thing
at all! I hope it might lead to a kind of advance inside myself
which has been stuck for some time i guess.
Anyway since I'm already 24 I can't and also don't want to go
back to the 17 Cocolulu wearing melol
Furthermore as gyaru brands also change a lot it's just been time
I think.
Gyaru brands have changed gradually in the past years, which is a
good thing!

Gyaru is no more the just colourful and outstanding darktan girl from
10-5 years ago. It's been growing so much more mature together with
the girls representing this fashion lifestyle, as a lot of them once just
beeing followers of the style have gotten into the position of producers
themselves.
The ones tropical image of gyaru with the main brands AlbaRosa,
Cocolulu, Tiara and such have had a too big place in my heart I think.
As brands like Emoda, Murua, Rienda ......have gained so much
popluarity as well I also thought that it might be time to make a
change. (the murua store has recently opened in Sapporo)
So why not start this change with a new completly different work




さて日本語でですね～
まず最近ちょっとアップデートしなくなったのはすみません！
いいニュースから今回のブログを始めたいと思ってます
KariAngから昨日電話が来て一緒に働きましょうって！！！
ありえない嬉しさですョ！！！さすがWii占いも今日９１点の
日だったってことｗｗ
もう本当に心からすごくでかくて重い石をはずされた気持ちです。
やっぱり心理的もうすごく重たかったです。何ヶ月頑張っても
ネガティブ返事しかこないとどんだっけ元気さなくなるんですョ

私のことを知っている人はよくわかると思いますがやっぱり
KariAngみたいな大人ぽいブランドは正直言うと希望じゃなかった
です。ずっとやっぱりギャルブランドで働くのは夢でした。

初めて１６歳の時にエッグの雑誌を手に入れてからギャル文化の
マジックにやれれました。上の写真はその初Eggですｗｗ
今まで見たことない可愛いさでした。ドイツのｔｓまない田舎
ファッションから世界違いすぎたんです

ま～言うたいことはそうですね。ギャルは自分の中もずっとその
瞬間からはずれられない部分となっていました。
KariAngで仕事を始めるとそこの自分とちょっとさよならしないと
いけないっていうことがよくわかってます。KariAngも３０代女性向け
なので髪の毛もちょっと暗くそめないといけないですし。

ちょっとなつかしくて悲しくてもいいことだと思っています！！
自分のなかにちょっと進めなくなった進化がまたちょっとおこるよう
にりたいからです。　もう２４歳なのでやっぱり自分のココルルばかり
着てた１７歳の自分にはもどれないしもどりたくももないですね
ギャルブランドも最近すごく大きい進化がおきたものですもんね。
もうすごく大人ぽくもなったと思ってますしバリエーションもすごく
増えました。
ギャルっていうのはもう１０から５年前まで元気な派手なカラフル
なガングロでしたねｗそれからそのファッションを着ている女の子
達と一緒にだんだん成長したものです。その中の子達自分達
プロデューサになった子もいっぱいいます。
トロピカルイメージしたAlbaRosaやTiaraやCocoluluはうちの心の中
でかすぎた部分あったと思ってます。
最近ですともう昔のギャルとまったく違うEmodaやMuruaとかも
大人気ブランドになりましたね。＊Muruaストアも最近札幌でオペン
しましたね＊　
ギャルの進化と共に自分も進化しないといけないって
いうこと最近気つきました。もうちょっと今の自分に合う自分を
作りたい現せてあげたいと思ってます。それにKariAngの新しい
仕事がぴったりだと思います！！

Let it snow let it snow let it snow

Just one day to go to December makes me feel really happy as i just
love(✪ฺܫ✪ฺ) Christmas season. Hate the months after that till spring
though. So since a package arrived from my family in Germany with lots
of sweets and Christmas deco stuff it really made my Christmas mood.
And just the next day after decorating I woke up and everything was so
beautifully covered up with fresh snow!!! ♥

１２月まで後１日だけですョฺ|◕ฺΘ◕ฺ)わくわくしますね～～
クリスマス季節本当に大好きですけどその後の春までの冬大嫌い
ドイツの家族からお菓子いっぱいとクリスマスデコグッズ入った荷物
が来たのですごくクリスマスムードになりました。
しかも次の日朝起きたら新鮮雪で真っ白！！！


As for today! I'm waiting for the phone call from the Sapporo TV tower people I
had a job interview on Saturday. Hope the call!!!
Suprisingly I also got a phonecall to a jobinterview from "KariAng", which is
actually not a brand i usually wear, but since I'm looking for a fashion related
job i just tried my luck in sending my resumee in.
They have rather simply clothes, which go for a CanCam look

今日は土曜日行った面接の札幌のテレビ塔から電話待ち（･ิз･ิ) ノ
電話来るかな。。。
しかも昨日びっくりしてKariAngから面接について電話が来ました！！！
普段はあゆう系着ないですけどどうしてもファッション関係の仕事がしたくて
色んなとこに履歴書送ったほうがいいと思いました。
CanCam風シンプルな大人可愛い服が多いと思います




This is the coordinate i wore at the TV tower job interview. I didn't want
to go too much gyaru so i kept the clothes casual and simple.

テレビ塔面接のコーデです。あまりギャルぽすぎないほうがいいと思って
カジュアルな感じにしました



Saw this cute Totoro character♥Makkuro Kurosuke♥ bread in the "Hokuo"
bread store!And the giant sparkling HelloKitty caught my eye as well though
I'm not really a Kitty fan

街に行った時目に入りました物
Hokuoパン屋さんの♥真っ黒くろすけ♥パン
ビッグキラキラキッティちゃん！実はキッティちゃんファンじゃないですけど
やっぱりでかくて可愛いかったｗ




And I bought a new shampoo!!! (I've been using "MaCherie" before, but still the
oldline)
Probarbly the most expensive one I've used in my life till now, but it smells just
so amazing that i had to buy it.
And it came in a trial kit with a 250ml shampoo, 250ml treatment/rinse,
2 packages of core treatment for 1995 Yen.
The brand is ♥La Pudeur♥
It's a silicon shampoo, which seem to be popular in Japan at the moment as well
as the silicon series from "La Nudie".I prefered "La Pudeur"s smell, which is why
i bought it.
My thourgh bleach damaged hair felt really smooth after using it so I'm curious
how it works after trying it for some weeks

最近シャンプー変えました～今まではMACHERIEの古いシリーズを使ってました。
今の人生で多分一番高いシャンプーなんですけど香りがやばすぎて買いましたｗ
トライアルキットに２５０ｍｌシャンプー、２５０ｍｌトリートメント、コアエッセンス２個
が入ってて１９９５円。
ブランドは　♥La Pudeur♥　です
最近日本で人気あるみたいシリコンシャンプーです。LaNudieもいいなと思いました
けど香り敵LaPudeurのほうが好きでした
ブリーチでかなりダメージなってる髪の毛は使った後すごくサラサラ感があって
いいと思いますョ



And last but not least today's Bentou nothing that special but consisting of
♥Ginger Pork
♥sesame carrot salad
♥Brokkoli and chinacabbets tsukemono
♥kinpira gobou

今日の弁当、そんなすごくないだろうけれども
♥しょうが焼き
♥ゴマ人参サラダ
♥ブロッコリー白菜つけもの
♥きんぴらごぼう

Job interview round 2

今日はまず盛りあがるニュースからです
明日面接決まりました！！ヽ(´▽`)ﾉ
札幌のテレビ塔の販売店で！！！ｗ
電話する時やっぱりすごくきんちょうになりますね。
外国人のお客様もけっこういると思いますので語学生かせる
じゃないかなと思ってます。

残念にはGilfｙから連絡来ないのでダメだったってことだろう。。。


As i would like to start of with some good news(*´∀｀*)
Im　having a jobinterview tomorrow at a shop inside Sapporo's famous
TV tower!!! (on the picture you can see the Terebitou Otousan character)lol
I was really nervous when calling but so glad that I was accepted for the
interview. Especially i thought it would be a good job to start off, as
probably languages skill is needen since many foreigners come there as well

The on the other hand bad news is that I still didn'*t get any call from
Gilfy which likely means that i didn't get the job(TДT)　

昨日は人生初めてで温泉に行ってきました！！！！
思ったより全然良かった！思ったより恥ずかしくなかったｗ
なんかヨーロッパ人だからかポーランド人だからかわからないけど
やっぱりあまり人の前経験ないから温泉に行くのちょっと恥ずかしがってた
けど思ったよりも神前な感じで全然良かったです！
基本的お風呂の中も暑すぎると気持ちわるくなるけど温泉で湯気あまり
なくて最後だけはちょっと頭がふらふらになりました。
また行きたいですけどやっぱり１５００円はけっこう高いと思いませんか？

Yesterday was also my first onsen visit!!!
I was really nervous because I haven't been naked a lot in front of people
and actually i get sick easily inside hot bathrooms so i thought i wouldn't
really enjoy it but it was so much better than i thought!!
Though it was hot there was almost no steam, so just at the end i started
feeling a little strange.
Just the price is not too cheap- 1500Yen is a little much i think but for
relaxing from time to time it's worth to go




Today's bentou
yesterdays hamburger, mayomiso baked tofu, cucumber with yukari
carrot salad
peer and orange desert
(look at the little sauce holders i bought recently. arent they cute^^
and so practical for putting in soysauce, mayonaise and dressing)

今日の弁当
昨日のハムバーグ、みそまよ豆腐オベーン焼き、きゅうりゆかり合え
にんじんサラダ
みかんとラフランスデザート
＊最近買ってきたソース入れちょう可愛くないｗ？マヨネーズや
　しょうゆやドレッシング入れるように便利ですョ



Recently i also make my ipod deco!!
I was inspired by the Sanrio character KIKI&LALA
but unfortunately i choose the wrong glue, so the stones
already starting falling off(≧∀≦)

最近Ipodをでこりました！！
Sanrioのキャラキキ＆ララ風にしたかったです～
残念にのり間違えたのでストーンはもう落ちってしまってる。。

Job interview GILFY 面接

昨日緊張したなあああ！！(。♋ฺ‸♋ฺ｡)うるるる
久しぶりに面接行ってきましたからね～～しかもギャル洋服屋のGILFYで面接でした！！！
今週以内連絡来ると思います。決まったらとめっちゃ嬉しいィ！！

後札幌街でちょっとウィンドーショッピングして、TokyuHandsはやっぱすごいですねｗ
これとかマジうける！Michael Jackson白人黒人バージョンｗｗｗｗｗ


これ今日の弁当ですョ～～さけサンドロール・にらベーコン炒め・コラーゲン納豆ｗ
やっぱり弁当を作るのすごい楽しいですね！！
とにかくヘルシー食べたい人に朝自分の昼弁当を作るのをおすすめします。
うちもやっぱ昼に作るのはめんどくさかったのでいつもカップめんでいいかなって
感じでしけど朝だんなの弁当をつつむ時自分の分もつくるとすごくバランス
取れると思います！
カラフルだし可愛いし健康的ですね




Yesterday was a big day for me as i had a jobinterview!!!
Not just any job, but a job at the gyarufashionstore GILFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was really really nervous yesterday as well as the two days before(ｂ＞д<)ｂ I'm hoping so much that i can work there! They are going to call me this week if
i get the job. So wish me luck!

As you can see on the above picture: Round 2 of Crazy Japan!!
Especially TOKYU HANDS has a lot of interesting stuff, especially if you are
looking for something rather unusual as a souvenir it's the perfect store.
Like the Michael Jackson mask in the versions of Black & White as you prefer^^

Today had my second try at bentou! And i have to say i really liked the taste of this one
Tried Salmon sandwich rolls & Beacon with nira & Collagen nattou


I think makin your own bentou in the morning for lunch is a really good way for eating
healty as you think a lot about the look and a good balance of the bentou when making it
Normally i always had something like cupnoodles for lunch but since discovering
colourful cute bentous its so much fun to cook and eat!

Very First Bentou＆Chambre 初弁当

できましたョ～～（　´∀｀）
あぐの日本初弁当！！シンプルなんですけどやっぱり嬉しいもんですね！今回作ったのは焼き肉弁当・レンジナムル・りんご甘蒸し、ゆずうどん・・・
作るため朝６時起きましたｗ


Made my first bentou today!!Rather simple but really happy to see the result. What i made today is Yakiniku beef, steamed microwave vegetable, steamed sweet apple and yuzu udon. Woke up at 6Am for doing itﾐ ・д・ﾐ ！

今日の新聞ちらしで入ってた。Chambreのちらしですョ
めっちゃ可愛い物いっぱい！！！
キキ＆ララのルームシューズ可愛い過ぎ

This was in todays newspaper! Advertisment from Chambre, a interior and make-up shop
They have really cute stuff.
Especially I want the Kiki&Lala Roomshoes!!!!!!!



これもChambreの面白い物！！
日本全国県民クッキー方ｗｗｗｗｗ
かっこいいいいい！！！！欲しいｗｗｗ
さすがCrazyな国日本！！♥
And really funny cookie form for baking cookies in the form of Japan's prefecture(*´▽｀)ノ
Costs 2900 Yen though.....But i love such crazy stuff a lot, though I guess you don't
have the chance to spread all the cookies allover cause it would be taking too much space.
Well.....Japan has a lot of crazy stuff^^

つけまつげ False Lashes Review Jewerich No.3

今日すごく寒い一日でしたね！！！皆さん風邪をひかないようにね～♥
北海道で今日ー９℃になったところもあったらしいですｗ札幌のほうまだあたたかいですけどやっぱりちゃり
乗って寒さ感じました

そううううして～～～
今日はつけまつげについてですね♥最近種類多すぎて何買えばいいかわかららなくなりますョね
ドンキで新しいつけまをゲットしました(ﾟ▽ﾟ)))

Jewerich No. 3

です。はじこのほうに太くて長いなのでタレ目にぴったりです。
みつさんのUniversal DollでJewerich　No.1レビューを読んで買うの辞めましたね
確かにJewerichの下つけまも線がかなり太くて時間がちょっとたったらつけまが
はがれました。そうしてつけまののりをはずす時もかなりはずしにくいな～と思いました
今まで使ったつけまはそういう問題なかったですね

それでも付けるとやっぱそぎく盛れるのでおすすめしたいと思います|*￣ー￣|
メークしたあぐだとこんな感じになります。＊上のつけま今回つけてない（＊







I hope everybody is doing fine especiallz on this cold day. One town in Hokkaido even had -9C today so
don't catch a cold! Sapporo was also quite chilly today when riding my bicycle


Sooo......♥

As you can see on the pictures above, a review for falsies!!
I bought these at DonkiHote at a price of 980Yen which is ok for too pairs if the quality is good.
The ones i bought are

JEWERICH NO 3

As they are quite thick and long on the outer corner they are perfect for TAREME look
I was resisting from buying the upper lashes from Jewerich as I read the review on Universal Doll
As Mitsu wrote the lash line is quite thick, so mine started falling off in the evening. Also I think
after removing its somehow difficult to remove the eyelash glue from the lashline, which was never
a problem on lashes i have used before.

Still i love the look of these lashes.♥|*￣ー￣|
You can see the result on my picture above (I'm not wearing upper falsies on this day)

っよっし～～さっそく初リアルポスト(◞≼㊠≻◟　◞≺㊠≽◟ )
今日チャリで色んな店周りして弁当作りグッズゲット！！！！！
最近だんなちゃんが父ちゃんのとこでまた仕事始めたので可愛い弁当作り気いｐｐｐっぱい！(ﾟｰﾟ)ﾆﾔﾘ
仕事は外でタイル関係だから寒いし元々いっぱい食べる人だから可愛いボリュームある弁当を目指しているョ

Just came back with my bicycle from several shops buying stuff for doing bentou!!!(Japanese Lunch box)
Recently my darling started working at his Dad's place so i'm full of motivation for bentou making
Their work is outside, making tiles on walls of houses, so it's really really cold, thats why I want to archive a bentou
that has volume as well as cute look(^ω^)



１００金　＊１００Yen Shop*　　　♥弁当ボックス　　　　Bentou box
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　♥色んな形の型　　　Several cut forms like Hearts, Stars..
　　　　　　　　　　　　♥アニマルピックス　　　Animal Picks
　　　　　　　　　　　　♥別けライン　　　　　　Devider for the bentou sections

Chambre　　　　　　　　　　　　　　・シリコンフォーム　　　Silicon Forms

１００金のシリコンがなんか硬くてサイズ的も良くないと思ったからChambreで500円でゲット
I didnt really like the Silicon cups they had at the 100Yen shop. Too small or big sizes and the Silicon doesnt bend easily like the one at Chambre, but costet 500Yen



　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
後はインスピレーションのため文教堂から弁当本。選ぶ時はやっぱ早くできるレシピーにこだわって、後はキャラ弁当も作って見たいからねｗｗｗ
合わせて１９００円でした

And as for inspiration 2 books about bentou making from Bunkyoudou. When choosing the books i tried to choose ones with receipes that can be
made rather fast and character bentou book which i always wanted try making. Both together 1900yen


作って見たらアップしますので楽しみにしてくださいね～
☆d(o⌒∇⌒o)b ★ｲｴｰｲ★ d(o⌒∇⌒o)b☆
I'll post pictures when i try making bentou, so please look forward～
