  • Life in Japan: My Work Routine

  • Hello guys!

  • Welcome back to the first vlog in a really long time.

  • Quick note! You're probably going to notice that this video may be a little bit

  • pre-season, if you know what I mean.

  • I switched up my Visa,

  • started working in Tokyo, and I just got really

  • crazy about doing my job and getting used to my new routine.

  • So I've been filming a lot of vlogs, but this is my first time editing it.

  • Who'd imagine that, huh? It is about, just a little bit after 4 o'clock

  • so I'm going to get back to my day and let you guys go back in time

  • and get caught up. Alright, see you there!

  • Good morning.

  • Oh my god.

  • Alright, 6:45. I've actually been up

  • for about almost two hours. I usually wake up before five or just before five.

  • We have a skylight above our bed

  • so it gives no mercy. It's good though. It gets me up.

  • It's 6:45, and it's time for Lily's walk.

  • So welcome to my work routine.

  • Let's go, Lily! Let's go out.

  • That's Lily's food. Not sponsored.

  • Lilly wishes it was sponsored, right Lily?

  • Like your food? Good stuff.

  • Alright, see you. Bye!

  • So, 9:06. We made our deadlines,

  • we made our first batch of deadlines

  • on Wednesday.

  • I wake up around five, have some coffee

  • try to clean up a bit, but clearly not so much.

  • And then I'm usually sitting down at six,

  • getting work done, walk Lilly, have coffee time with Boomer.

  • And then, try to hit my first deadline and get it done

  • by 9:00 a.m. Most of the companies that I work for, they start really

  • working at about 9:30 or so,

  • so around 9:30 is when I start to get emails back

  • or I start to get feedback and then I have to start a whole other round.

  • Even though it's remote day,

  • I have a meeting in the city, but I also need to go and pick up some more makeup

  • because I ran out.

  • I really ran out.

  • I'm really glad I finally have my shade in Japan, it's been like a lifesaver.

  • Finally, a cheap brand as of, like, this year.

  • You can get it in Harajuku, and you can also get it

  • I saw it in Osaka station.

  • That's it.

  • That's what we're working with today.

  • I'm going to pick up some more of this today as well, but anyways.

  • We are out of time.

  • I only now have twenty minutes before my emails are going to start

  • running back in, so.

  • Alright guys, made it to Harajuku, and I had a very good meeting actually.

  • I made it from Tokyo all the way to down to Harajuku, and I'm sitting in front of Lush.

  • I haven't been to Lush in a while, so I'm smelling all of these smells.

  • It is now 6 p.m. and

  • we are off to find our shade, get back home, get back to work.

  • Haul time!

  • I got some color.

  • Hello?

  • Hello?

  • I am sitting on Boomer's kanji homework.

  • Boomer's writing "寝" (sleep)

  • Sleep deprivation

  • To get up.

  • I need to get some more work done, and then eat these sushi.

  • and then

  • Whatever, I don't care.

  • It's 7:30, I got to get to work, eat this sushi before Boomer smells

  • fish on his desk.

  • Oh my god.

  • You wanna go out? You wanna go for a walk?

  • Let's go. Come on.

  • Vlog-ception.

  • Not gonna lie.

  • Today was a hard morning for me.

  • Thursday. 8:22, and I have eight minutes

  • to put on my face and get back out the door.

  • Yes, I am wearing the same blouse as yesterdaydon't judge.

  • I only wore it for about three hours.

  • Finally showing you what I got last night. First is the golden honey foundation.

  • I can finally cover up my face.

  • Uh, this is a little yellow for me. Uh oh. Definitely yellow.

  • I have a bunch of deadlines today

  • and I have a presentation tomorrow

  • Today, I'm going into Tokyo

  • and I have to give my full attention to

  • this company today, so anything I needed to get done for Friday

  • or anything I needed to get out to other people

  • I had to get it done last night.

  • Something that's pretty hard for me now is that when I work for multiple companies

  • I have to stay on top of

  • all of my deadlines, and if I have to be at a different company

  • one day, and I have to focus on their stuff,

  • and that means, anything that comes up

  • like if I get an email from another company on that same day

  • then I have to either do it really early in the morning before I go out

  • or I have to do it late that night

  • So I can usually communicate and get things done

  • early, even.

  • But this week is particularly difficult because I'm trying to

  • coordinate with a bunch of different people, and I can't really plan for it.

  • So it's like, argh! It's all fun.

  • This foundation is a little yellow. My eye bags are a little deep.

  • But we're going to work on it.

  • While I was waiting for certain pieces of a puzzle that I needed last night,

  • I managed to finish subtitling and upload a new video.

  • Yay!

  • So that's already up now for you guys.

  • Subtitles are rough. Every now and then one of you guys will

  • step up and even do just the English subtitles, you know the closed captions.

  • Anytime anyone writes subtitles for me, it is a huge help, (including the subtitles you're reading right now, thank you!!!)

  • and I'm trying to figure out a way to make that more consistent because

  • I can't put out videos as often as I want to because I spend

  • almost like a whole day subtitling in two languages.

  • So if anyone can help, that would be huge.

  • Let's see what this looks like.

  • It's a little red for me.

  • Just tone that down a little bit for me.

  • Like all I want is this nail color

  • on my lips, and I can never seem to find the colors.

  • For now, I'll just keep mixing and matching until I go back to the States in two weeks

  • and pick up my real shade.

  • Alright.

  • It's time to go!

  • Good morning, I just got off the train, and I'm walking

  • but I just realized I uploaded my video

  • and there is a problem with the subtitles

  • I've been getting a lot of comments saying that

  • there's a huge problem with the subtitles

  • and the English subtitles

  • aren't showing, even though I literally woke up at 4 a.m. to write them

  • and I want to cry

  • The file is on the computer at home, so I can't upload them forever

  • The video's just going to sit there with no subtitles.

  • I'm dying.

  • Okay, see you guys at lunch.

  • Lunch break is over.

  • It is 12:03.

  • It is Saturday,

  • and I managed to somehow skip a day in what is supposed to be a vlog

  • about my work routine.

  • Yesterday was a wash.

  • I woke up earlyway too early, in fact.

  • This is not a normal week. Normally, I do work a lot,

  • but I had to stay up almost all night

  • and then definitely be awake and working at about 3 a.m.

  • for the last two days

  • and that's not normal.

  • and I didn't want you guys to think that was normal.

  • And to be honest, I most definitely crashed.

  • Basically, I had a huge presentation on Friday.

  • I did a quick happy hour, but I came right home basically because

  • there is a huge typhoon.

  • Boomer's work got canceled.

  • Trains are down.

  • We are going to shutter up and start the day.

  • There was a point here, sorry.

  • I went a little crazy yesterday, my brain's been a little bit off.

  • Oh, by the way.

  • A girl at work yesterday complimented my lipstick. She said

  • I was so happy.

  • That actually made my day.

  • Do you like my glasses by the way?

  • I feel like I'm like that girl in Matilda. What's her name? Lavender?

  • I feel like I look like Lavender right now.

  • It's about noon. We're going to get some supplies, shut down the storm doors,

  • and wait out the typhoon.

  • The last four rices.

  • Is it rouge?

  • Where's the apple juice?

  • There isn't any.

  • What are you getting?

  • We got the shutter down.

  • We're safe.

  • There's a lot.

  • Let's eat.

  • This is so cute. What is this?

  • Do you see Tokyo Tower back there?

  • Yeah, I do.

  • It's Tokyo Tower.

  • Oh my god, it's Tokyo Tower.

  • Good morning, everyone. I made it to Shinjuku.

  • Today I am working remotely from one of my favorite cafes

  • called Caffice. You can't see it up there but it's in this Kurumu, cute place.

  • Had a bit of a hiccup

  • this morning. Someone left their cellphone under

  • my butt. Their Samsung Galaxy was sitting under my butt on the train.

  • I was just in the middle of running down the door and the

  • train car number that I was sitting in

  • so I could turn it in to lost and found

  • when it started ringing.

  • So it was like an impromptu Japanese quiz.

  • And being that I haven't had coffee yet,

  • I couldn't—I was like train, phone, train, phone.

  • I couldn't get the words out of my mouth on the phone with this total stranger.

  • About to turn it in to the lost and found, and now I'm ready to get back to work.

  • Today is a remote day for me,

  • so I'm mostly going to be here at my favorite place.

  • It's called Caffice. It's like a cafe office.

  • And I'm going to get some work done.

  • Made a quick pitstop to pick up my contacts.

  • And now I'm going to go and find my friend, actually.

  • Alright, let's get you back before

  • What time is it anyways?

  • Lunch is over.

  • Time to say bye to Sam.

  • But thank you for coming.

  • Alright guys, time to say goodbye to the vlogthat's you guys.

  • It's time for me to get back to work, so

  • I'll see you guys in the next vlog.

  • If you liked this video, make sure to like and subscribe. I can't believe I'm saying this.

  • More importantly, leave me a comment below, let me know who you are, and what you want to see.

  • I'll see you guys next time. Bye!
