First Time Big Event Leader Feelings

Ohhh wow, today was hectic! I’ve been getting increasingly more important (and exciting) responsibilities from my job, and today was one of them. I emceed one of our biggest events and had to lead the thing! It was EXHAUSTING to say the least, and, at times fun. I made many little mistakes, but learned a lot! 

I’d never thought I would ever have a job that I would easily and happily be able to dedicate myself to, especially so much, that I’d receive these kind of responsibilities, but I’m so happy I have! I don’t work just for money, I need happiness and passion. If another “normal” job offered me double or even triple what I currently make, I would without hesitation turn it down.

I have always had EXTREME stage fright. Yet, I’ve always been on or back (or even above when I learned lighting) stage for most of my life in one way or another. I did dance shows since I could walk. I always joined whatever choirs was offered at any school I went to. I did every theatre and drama thing I could in high school. I studied theatre costuming (and a little of everything else) in college. And now I work in theatre! It’s like I’m destined for the stage 😆 

Blog: Nagoya Bluebonnet Wildflower Garden and Yoyogi Park Photo Shoots

I had a photo shoot at the Nagoya Bluebonnet Wildflower Garden in Nagoya Port with Hiro Motegi last summer (I'll add links to his stuff below)! I already have a post with pictures of flowers and more details about the garden so now, here's a few pictures from the shoot! I was trying to channel my inner forest faerie and Alice in Wonderland.

Usually when I attempt this expression, I look stupid, but he caught it very well! I look like a sleepy fairy =]

The angle makes the flowers look like giant mushrooms!

I'll also post the ones from Yoyogi park in Tokyo last winter taken by Ando Karakawa.  It snowed the day before, but it was really warm this day, so it wasn't cold outside even though there was snow!
