Merry Christmas~! (English &J apanese)

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
Christmas is almost done over in Korea, but maybe other countries are just starting now.
Do you have any plans at Christmas?
Party with your family, friends, or boy/girl friend?
I'll wish your 'Merry Christmas' whatever you do.

Me? I just.... watched a movie with my family and met my friends.
It was simple, but I'm happy to have had a great time.

Good job! Sounds like a lovely Christmas.  Best wishes for the New Year!

メリークリスマス！
韓国と日本ではクリスマスがほぼ終わっていきますが、おそらく他の国の中では、これから始まるところもあると思います。
クリスマス計画は何かありますか。
家族や友達、あるいは恋人とパーティをするとか。
すでにクリスマスが終わっていく方々は、今日楽しくお過ごしになりましたのなら、なによりだと思います。
そして、これからクリスマスを向かう方々はぜひ幸せな日になるよう祈ります。

The Expiring Year

Hello, friends! =)

Two days ago I had a birthday - my personal 'New Year' :D And due Because to these two dates are really close to each other I think, I can take a look back to summarize what happend to me in the expiring year. * I might just say, ..close to each other, I want to look back to summarize... The 'i think I can' is not wrong, but a little akward

To be honest, there's not so much to tell you - I didn't have any bright and impressive personal events. Maybe, only disappointments... Sure, I got found/met a few new mates (US English would use 'friends,' not mates) to hung hang out and some new places of entertaining, but that's still more like a routine, nothing really special or interesting :D *I'm not sure what you mean by some new places of entertaining, do you mean you found some new interesting pubs or restaurants? This construction is akward...

On the other hand, I got had some successes at work: The company in which I work in has grown bigger and moved to the a new place. And I got the a new position - I'm a deputy director since September =) So, Now I work in the a new office, in a on the new position. I suppose I am  and supposed to be happy proud of that :D The bad thing about my new accomplisments is that now I don't have enough time to communicate with my foreign friends, so my English is getting worse and rusty day bay by day without practice =(

I'm irritated by what's going on in the world - the things which my country has been involved in. It seems, in a few months my new enlarged salary will have become even less than the previous one,,, Hopefully, things are going to stabilize soon, but I don't really believe, they will...

For the consequence In conclusion: the previous year was more bright and interesting than this one - that was the time of doubts and changes, time of great hopes and expectations, and efforts to reach all the I  wanted... 2013 was like a rollercoaster or off-road driving, and I loved that.
The expiring year was more like a highway filled with traffic.

It definitely was not a bad year personally for me (in general, I believe it was a sort of terrible!) but too smooth, too colourless. New achievements and adventures are needed!

Wow, I don't think your English is fading day by day, it's excellent. Good job.  I feel sad for you though - it sounds like you have a lot to be proud of this year, even if there wasn't quite enough excitement. I refraind from reformulating things in the positive, congratulations on your promotion, but good job!!

My Work

I am an economist. I worked as a loan officer in a bank for about 5 years. I was responsible for compiling loan packages, and facilitating negotiations of loan structure, and providing financial counseling. I had deal dealt (or had TO deal) with mortgage, car and consumer loans. I also worked in promoting of insurance products and services. I sold life, car, and property insurance policies.

I greeted my clients in a warm and friendly manner, and tried being polite and helpful all the timeat all times. I always tried to be attentive to their needs, to understand their point of view, and strived hard to deliver the insurance products and loans, based on their (OR, my customer's) requirements. In a tricky situation (if it was more than one time, tricky situations, plural), I offered a solution of miscellaneous saving schemes plans.*  Most of the clients appreciated my help and were grateful to me.

I changed my job 3 years ago. Sometimes I miss it. Former clients always say "hi" to me, when they meet me somewhere in the city.

I got gained a good valuable experience of working in the bank. On the other hand, I like my new job too. It also helps me to develop my skills and get obtain new experience.

Great job!

* miscellaneous makes it sound unimportant, while schemes makes it sound shifty or criminal!
