Welcome back to my blog everyone. Vancouver is raining, again. All the pretty full bloomed cherry blossoms looks a bit sad in this weather...
ブログ訪問ありがとう♡ バンクーバーはまた雨です。桜が雨に打たれてちょっぴり悲しそう・・・ Anyways! As you might already know, I started to "model" since 2011. I created social media accounts for public so I can make posts and I can up to date with my followings what I have been doing at the shows or photo shoots or travel etc. In my profile, I called myself an " International model", to explain easily for all people who visited my social platforms. but honestly, I still don't know if I should be calling myself as a "model". I would like to call myself a " Blogger ". もう知っている方も多いかもしれませんが、なんちゃってモデルを始めてしばらく経ちます。ソーシャルメディアのアカウントを作り、撮影や旅行やイベントの様子をシェアしてきました。私のプロフィールでは、自身をインターナショナルモデルと簡単に説明していますが、でも実際、自分をモデルと呼ぶのは大分おこがましく、自分は挑戦者、チャレンジャーと言いたい笑 I tried every opportunities that was right there, that I never thought I would do it or something that make me afraid of. I never thought I would become an "International model" or social media " Influencer", "Blogger". But working with photographers were definitely something that it kept me motivated everyday and did everything I can. とにかく、機会が目の前にあって、今までは確実にやらなかった物事に挑戦してみたのです。それから間もなく、自分がインターナショナルモデル・ソーシャルメディアインフルエンサーにも思ってもみなかった。ただ、ひょんなきっかけで挑戦してみた撮影でプロのカメラマンと働くようになってから、段々とそれがモチベーションになりパッションとなり、また増え行く機会も挑戦するようになりました。
I had many opportunities to work with great local photographers. I have tried fashion, artistic photos, beauty makeup, glamour shoot etc. These are the photos from my very very very first photoshoot ever in Vancouver 2011.
沢山のプロカメラマンさんと働いて、彼らの独特でさまざまな撮影スタイルや色や加工も興味深かったし、今までにファッション、ビューティーメイクアップの撮影や、日本で言ったらグラビアにあたる、グラマーの撮影をしてきました。以下の写真は、撮影を始めて間もないころ。。。良いカメラで撮ってもらうだけで、携帯カメラとはまた別の雰囲気・・・
All I did was just kept going what I love to do. Never stopped since the day I started.
そこからは撮影が好きになり、趣味になり、機会があるたびに参加していました。 When something fun to do becomes a job.
I started to model at trade shows and auto shows and that's where I started to travel more often. It was amazing to meet the supportive people in person and had a nice talk! They kept me going!
そんな時から、趣味で好きなことをしていたらそれが仕事になった日が来た。様々なトレードショーや、映画やテレビのちっちゃいロール、カーショーが盛んな北米を旅してきました。そして何よりショッキングだったのは、いろんなとこから会いに来てくれるファンの方々に会えたこと! Who knew I'd become a RingGirl!?
It was all because of your support and love.
Such an exciting moments, meeting all those Asia's most biggest MMA organization OneFC super fans and the fighters in all over Asia. 夢にも思っていなかった、アジアで最大のMMA団体、OneFCのリングガールも出来ることができました。マレーシア、シンガポール、インドネシアの大会に参加しました。ファイトの圧倒感、半端なかった。。。 Once in a life time being on a Magazine covers!
One of the highlighted moment in my life. Something to show off to my future grandkids. lol
Still can't believe it happened. I am proud of my younger self right there! 人生で一回きりの体験、FHMマガジンの表紙と、メンズヘルスマガジンの表紙も体験することが出来ました。表紙撮影は、普通の撮影の十倍細かくって、角度や笑顔や腹の引っ込め具合も最高でした。笑 Becoming an influencer
I have had many opportunities to work with many brands from local small clothing store to world well known brands. I love sharing what I love to wear or for my beauty skin care etc. So it worked out perfect! I am super grateful to have total 450K followings on my SNS @officialmilag . Thank you tons for your support!
そこからは、いろんなブランドからローカル会社さんとコラボレーションさせて頂いたり、好きなことをシェアさせて頂いたところ、気が付くとソーシャルメディアでフォローしてくださってる方が45万人を越えていました。ありがとうございます。 How to become successful?
Never stop trying what you love and stop caring what other people might think of you. Never stop learning, be humble, be kind, be smart, be silly, be nice and polite but never let them take advantage of you.
Always be with someone who motivates you and uplift you with your mind. because whoever you are with will affect you more than what you think. Stay away with those negative and judgemental , closed minded people. Positive mind positive life. =) よく人に、どうやったらそうなれる?とか、成功しててうらやましい‼とか言われるけど、実際、自分的にはそう思ったことないんです。自分が努力して続けてきたことが、調子よく波に乗って、ありがたいと思っています。ただ、たくさんの女の子から、どうすれば、早く夢に近づける?などの質問をよく受けるので、ひとことアドバイス的なことを書くとすると・・・ 自分の夢や好きなことは絶対あきらめないで、急がないでいいからただ続けること。夢について学んだり、常に夢に向かってポジティブに考えること。頭で考えるアイデアは、口に出したら考えているだけで、確実に近づいて行っていると思います。あとは同じ夢に向かって頑張っている人の周りにいるようにすること。 @milakini Swim Wear brand coming soon!
I have been working on my new goal. My dream store @milakini swim wear.
Not going to lie, launching is taking longer that what I expected! lol It is ok, I am a challenger... Can't wait till the launch! I will be looking for my brand ambassador who are interested into becoming my swim wear model so follow@milakini for the updates as well. Almost there guys! そして、今、新たにひそかに取り組んでいるのが、私の立ち上げるビキニブランド! これがなかなかのつわもので、なにしろこれもまた自分には初挑戦過ぎる分野で知識もないため時間もかかっていますが、徐々に、自分のペースでオープンに向け頑張っているところです! 気になった方は、インスタでもちぇっくしてみてね!
Thank you for reading till the end! Please leave some love, like or comments it is free!! =)
今日もよんでくれてありがとう。 また読みたいなと思ったら、したのアルパカをクリックしてね笑 ブログランキングで、私のブログ経営のサポートになります!それではまたあした^^
Welcome back to my daily blog! Today I am going to blog about my story of moving to Canada from Tokyo. I have been getting lots questions so I'm going to answer here. :)
Where am I from?
Some of you may already know, I am full Japanese who came to Canada almost 10 years ago from Tokyo Japan. I grew up on the country side of Tokyo.
I used to watch foreign movies every Sunday with my dad. As I am growing older I started to think "One day I want to understand English watching movies without subtitle." to "I want to experience the life over seas! ". At age 13, I joined "Penpal" which you can find a teenage students overseas who are interested in to Japanese cultures and wrote a letter to each other. I made a few penpal friends in Australia and Newzealand, it was something I felt so excited about. Sometime we exchanged stickers and I was always happy to see all those cute foreign stickers!! I wasn't very good at reading and writing at the time yet I spent lots time to understand their up to date stories and exchanging our cute stickers and stamps etc. Convince parents to travel alone.
After graduating high school in Tokyo, I got a job at JA bank. ( Japan Agricultural Cooperatives ). My parents were very happy that I got this most stable job in Japan at the time and my friends were overwhelmed. At JA bank, I became a bank teller, handled tax business, and unexpectedly I was an insurance solicitor as well. I had to think how I can convice my parents to let me travel alone...
I worked hard and saved up around $25,000 in few years, shared my plan, lots of back up reserch on the benefits of travelling and working abroad, and shared exampled of other family friend's children who have traveled on their own, and most importantly, didn't give up on my dream. On the day I said "See you again!" to my family at Narita airport, I saw my dad was tearing up.
Living in a different county is a pretty big thing. Many people have told me they feel more afraid to try new things or making big changes in life but somehow I wasn't like that. It actually brings me into life.
Life in Canada
I have started my Canada life at home stay. They took me to many places, served me a delicious chinese food everyday. It was my very first time living in someone elses house, but yet I felt very cosy.
My first job ever in Canada was "Tim Hortons". The Canada's well known coffee & donuts shop. Don't ask me why I gained 8lbs working there within half year. haha! Their coffee and donuts are pretty good! Working at cafe is something I wanted to try at least once in life and I did it!
