marketing job

so I finally started my new internship in Table For Two.

What I do is mostly marketing which use the strength of my character: can be talking with anyone friendly, not to hesitate to talk anyone I just met

I go around restaurants or cafes in NYC which is PLENTY OF....

and ask if they are interested in introducing TFT system.

WHICH IS REALLY REALLY FUN FOR ME.

Walking around, talk with random people and ask about their restaurant is actually so much better than just sitting on a chair and typing PC keyboard.


I really like going around NYC and find a new restaurant and jump in there to talk with a manager.

most of the time, the manager is not there so I usually have to get a number or email to set up appointment.

however, getting feel like maybe-this-is-what-i-wanna-do-in-my-future. ...

I still struggling to find what I want to do but I can feel that I'm getting that point when I finally figure out what I wanna do for my life.

recently reading a book called "DELAYING THE REAL WORLD"which is recommended from my boss. He read this book when he was 23rd and shocked by this stories,
http://www.delayingtherealworld.com/


I think I'm feeling same way with him except this stories is not really surprising since those stories are something I was considering for long time. In terms of pushing me to decide something unusual, this book is definitely giving me a lot of options for my future.

The more I think about my future, it's getting really big big big and full of options.... I decided not to think about sacrifices for now.,
When it happens, it happens.
Let things flow,  let things go...this is what my besty told me when I was in the spiral of deep thinking

I was reading this book, and a guy start talked to me in subway "Is this book saying about teaching English abroad or something ?"
I was surprised that someone started to talk to me in NYC. lol It happened a lot in seattle but not in NYC. NYC, in my impression, people are just walking toward whatever they are looking for. I rarely talk with random people unless I do marketing job.

He was actually in Sapporo, Hokkaido in Japan for three month for study abroad in summer. Now his path is to go to South Korea as a English teacher. I wanted to talk with him more but we both had to get off train and he had to go to somewhere. I gave him my business card, hope he contacts with me so I can probably get to know him more! Not any love emotion , just curious for his life..

I found a couple of interesting shops or restaurants I want to visit in future on my way of marketing job today.
here is some

@Doughnut Plant NYC
Doughnut store
 pastry store
smelled so good
@ Chelsea

 Coffee shop.
The decoration of inside was insisting that they are care about coffee beans maker, African farmers. but when I asked some stuff about store to the worker, he didn't know that much and couldn't answer.
The education of worker is the most important thing. Especially if the store has a policy that the store wants to proud of, it is necessary to train workers till they have a basic knowledge to answer what customers ask for their store.... I was disappointed.
too decorated but the Frappechino was good.
In terms of education of workers, probably Starbucks is better.
 A healthy cafe Soy cafe, they sells interesting salad.
I will go there and try to talk with the manager about my NPO program when I go around Greenwitch again,
 something interesting... Tea...?
 oh from here, it's just a random photos I have on my phone. Supposed to upload everyday on fb but got tired to do it. so gonna just put it all together.
This is a drawing I wrote on the letter to my family lol hahaha
 cat!! miss him so much. Eggyyyy



 maybe I might wanna read this when I get done my  reading.... well I'm reading three books currently lol nvm
 Jamba Juice!!!! MY FAVORITE!!
 IDK what this car means.... is it a company? I just thought it's interesting .lol
 ohh this guy is always in Astor Pl  under the 14 union square.
He is playing good as my friend said.lol I still don't understand but his songs makes me want to dance at the freaking hot platform
 club!!! this is Asian club Circle
This was the night I thought I don't wanna drink anymore tequila.
I still cannot take tequila shots since this night. IT WAS ROUGH NIGHT lol

Table for Two

so I finally started the-looking-forward-to-work Table for Two which is a organization promoting the balance of food in the world. Their system is not alike of any NPO group. Their system is not only for the donation but what we call "business model system" which include business partners such as restaurants or companies' cafeteria. So you feel more near about Table for Two better than just donating money.

In our Table for Two system, we provide a system which balance up the food we eat with kids in Africa. We offer the healthy menu in cafeterias or restaurants. Everytime customers purchase our healthy meal, 25 cents from that price will go to Africa and it will make a lunch box for a kid in Uganda, Ethiopia and Rwanda.

We have been served 9,224,585 meals there so far.

I've started the internship from today. The reason I met this organization was the boook written by the founder of TFT.
TFT is already the well known organization in Japan and now we have TFT USA in NY(which is our main office where I work at), DC, SanFransisco.
I was establishing a TFT student organization in University of Cincinnati but didn't work out well. However, when I'm going back to Cincinnati, I'll definitelly spread out TFT again and try to revive a student organization.

This is our website. we are still working on this website to make this more impressionable for everyone.
