episode one not many people realize what
it's like living abroad for so long
everything becomes a normal routine you
see tourists having the time of their
lives in a country they've never been to
while you wake up go to work and move on
with your typical day oftentimes I'm
alone I don't film my adventures every
day and I have a full-time job as a
teacher so this is the start of a new
vlog series where I show you what my
typical days are like no sugar coating
and my raw self
[Music]
so I'm running a little bit behind and I
woke up with like some weird allergies
okay I'm like I don't know what it was
but I just kept sneezing and like I know
it just happened like overnight I am
doing my makeup right now I'm getting
ready for work I'm a little bit behind
right now I slept in a little bit later
I have a really hard time waking up it's
because I'm staying up and editing and
I'm not really like letting my brain
rest before I go to bed yeah so I didn't
sleep very well last night and I'm
supposed to go to work I work in a
different spot every day that I work so
today I'm heading into the city to go to
Shinjuku and yeah so I'm just gonna do
my makeup
okay so my makeup is on and I'm going to
make some breakfast
I'm still running behind I'm going to
make quickly something easy some kind of
out of breakfast food actually have to
go to the grocery store today but I have
this Fitness bread that I got from herb
and it literally just has whole Rio
kernels and wheat germ in it and I eat
it with this wild butter you guys have
probably seen it on my Instagram but
it's easy to make and I might get
something on the way because I need a
lot of food I try to make a big
breakfast in the morning because I don't
really have many breaks in between my
classes I only have two classes today
but yeah I use a lot of energy and I
need food I have my probiotics yogurt
this actually is really good yogurt I'm
not actually pretty surprised I don't
really like Japanese yogurt so much but
this stuff is really good there's no
guru man
[Music]
okay so I'm not gonna show you my
apartment right now because it's a
literal mess right now I hate living in
a one-room apartment because it's like
you pack everything in your apartment
like in your life your kitchen stuff
your living room stuff your bedroom
stuff all in one room like imagine that
it's not easy as an American girl the
idea for today is to get a flu shot
which I signed up for so I'm going to be
heading to the clinic today and I'm
gonna hopefully show you what it's like
to go to a Japanese clinic and to get a
flu shot where you can get a flu shot if
you are living here the doctor is
American he's half Japanese so yeah this
is a great place to go it's in
Shimokitazawa and I'm gonna do that
after work so we're gonna eat breakfast
head out the door
I'm literally not wearing anything that
great I'm wearing this jacket that my
friend gave me when we were out shooting
so thanks ash I don't think I'm gonna
give this back to you anytime soon
[Music]
I
[Music]
Kyle
[Music]
the sky
[Music]
yeah
[Music]
I'm gonna get some orange juice
[Music]
oh my god so the lady at the counter was
so nice she was speaking in English to
me and I usually don't get spoken in
English to at the convenience store so
that was pretty interesting I think the
one thing about like Shinjuku and stuff
is that a lot of tourists come through
so a lot of people here even at the
convenience stores speak English and
she's like there's a lot of people in
Japan that are english teachers that
don't speak japanese so she was
surprised by my Japanese yeah and so out
of shape
[Music]
I'm at work and ready to go I can't
really feel him inside the school so
sorry guys this is all I can do
okay so we just finished work and I'm
going to the doctor yeah I had a baby
class in a toddler class I love teaching
baby because babies you can see your
progress and your teaching some of their
first words are English so it's actually
incredible and I teach moms not the
babies and it's actually a really really
nice day outside
[Music]
so crowded I spend probably half my days
writing trains and I remember how
intimidating it was but now I honestly
love some quiet time reading a book or
studying Japanese while getting it to my
next destination okay so I'm now in
Shimokitazawa and she know keep Tazawa
has a lot of like secondhand stores that
you can go to
it's a really nice place for like coffee
or anything like that there's very
narrow streets and they have a lot of
shops something is actually my first
time really blogging by myself in public
I kind of stopped caring because
honestly if someone comes up to you with
good content and then second of all
you're being stalked this could save you
sorry I'm not exactly looking at the
camera straightaway because I have to
see where I'm going I ended up having a
little time to kill so I decided to
check out some of the second-hand shops
that were in the area I feel like in
Japan we can never really get bored
because there's always something to look
at or places to see and when you have an
appointment and you get there super
early this is something that I like to
do
[Music]
oh hey
[Music]
all right thank you so much
[Music]
I saw this cute crepe place on my way to
the doctors and everything was
organically made and looked really
delicious my days are always moving so
fast so I sometimes have to remind
myself to just slow down and enjoy me
time treat myself to something small
[Music]
okay so I'm done with my flu shot and
I'm heading home and I'm going to go
grocery shopping now
[Music]
cheap bananas
spencer expense
Garner's become so neat I didn't see
this before I'm so excited
I'll have to get this next time but it's
kind of expensive the one kind of pissed
because they don't have like everything
that I usually use for tacos which kind
of sucks I just got the shells and I got
the chocolate seasoning separately they
usually have like kicks but you can get
I'm kind of disappointed about that
[Music]
okay I am finally home and I'm ready to
cook some tacos because it is almost six
o'clock it's not a long day guys my arm
is killing me it hurts because I got
that shot today and I don't feel any
symptoms right now I mean the pain is a
lot but it's like not so bad I really
thin arms
I grew up getting allergy shots when I
was a kid so I don't know why I was so
nervous it was three thousand five
hundred yen which is kind of expensive I
didn't expect that to happen but it did
and we're just gonna cook and we're
gonna eat and I have to edit like crazy
until like midnight for those of you
guys who are wondering where I then I'm
gonna say I quit music because I was
doing way too much I was working
full-time job I was doing my vlog vlog I
was vlogging I was trying to make time
for our friends and myself and then I
went through a breakup with a
long-distance relationship which really
sucked
there was a very huge lack of
communication you know people make
mistakes
long-distance isn't easy there's always
misunderstandings and yeah it just
wasn't easy for me I was having a lot of
anxiety and because he wasn't here and
it was going on eight months and I was
just good like driving myself and saying
because of emotions and my anxiety and
the distance between us it just wasn't
right so I'm glad that we ended it and
we went our separate ways it's a shame
but you know life happens and you have
to get through those emotions you should
never suppress those emotions you should
always try to feel them because if you
don't then those feelings are gonna peak
out and come back every once in a while
and you don't want to feel that way so
it's good to let yourself feel those
emotions and let that moment pass and it
did and I'm doing so much better and I
narrowed some things down and I have
some goals that I want to work on those
things come up and you just have to
learn to be stronger and I was weak at
one point and now I'm strong again I
want to show you guys what these things
are like living abroad so I think you
guys well I hope you guys appreciate
that but I'm going to cook this dinner
because I have a lot of
to do
[Music]
just like an angel II really loved this
youtube channel but like it's just funny
like hearing stories about people
getting upset of a really stupid crap
like how they're talking about how Kim
Kardashian photoshopped her butt and
everyone is so triggered by it
[Music]
okay guys oh my god my skin is so bad
anyway I'm gonna end this vlog here
because I have a lot to edit and it's a
hearty 730 and I have to go to bed
pretty early except to wake up in the
morning and go to work on a Saturday
when everybody else is off so I'm gonna
drink my con mucha tea this is one of my
favorite teas so far it's kind of a
citrusy taste but it's very relaxing and
it's healthy and I'm just gonna drink
this and I'm gonna wash my face and just
get ready for bed so thank you guys for
watching I hope you enjoyed this video
and I'll see you guys in the next one
[Music]
you
