Going to an all girl schools, I'm no stranger to bitchy two-facedness and liars.
I saw it every day and was on the receiving end on a couple of occasions.
Everyone is bitchy at some point. Everyone slags someone off at some point.
But for me and people around me, when we get that chance to honestly express how we feel, we take that chance - the consequences being what they may.
It's a shame more people aren't as honest.
I've recently witnessed something which has COMPLETELY changed the way I look at 2 people. I overheard something and then watched as they sat back and so openly lied in front of other people instead of owning up and telling the truth.
So, so disappointed in them - I can't express enough. What I thought were such beautiful people just turned out to be just so, so ugly. I can't bear to watch this kind of two-facedness and I most certainly do not abide by lies and bitchy behaviour. It's unacceptable and I have completely lost my respect for them. I actually feel kinda betrayed by them too, knowing that they are that ugly on the inside. I don't surround myself with people like that and people who are around me and know me well, know that these are the two qualities that I despise most in people.
It's also a reminder to just watch my back because at the end of the day, people are just not what you think they are.
They're more spineless than you could ever imagine.
Shame on you ladies. Shame on you.

Seriously?!
I got my test voucher for the JLPT this weekend.
Despite getting my application in super early, I still have to trek it up to Saitama to sit the test.
Not impressed!!! I was hoping to get a uni in Tokyo!! Obviously hoping for Shinjuku-ku, but even west would have been good!
Course not. I'm not that lucky.
*sigh*
It would be so nice if just for ONCE, something would go my way.
I always try not to hate on those who have everything fall into their lap while I have to work my arse off for everything. And the reason is because one day, I believe that I may just get that lucky break.
LOL - that certainly ain't happening any time soon!
Back to the grind.

Percy Pigs!!!!!
LOL!
I went out for dinner and drinks with my girl last night. She recently went to HK....and you know what that means....
MARKS AND SPENCER!!!!!
And you know what that means.....
PERCY PIGS!!!!
God I love those things. I'd forgotten about them this morning actually and while I was trying to work out whether I had a hangover or not, I suddenly remembered, jumped outta bed and ripped that packet open!
LOL!
I'm actually really impressed that I haven't polished off the whole bag already! I'm going to see if I can make them last for a day. Anything longer than that is just way to realsitic.
Had a super fantabulous time last night. You know I've been really sad about my girls leaving this year so I've kinda held back from getting too close to this one. But she told me yesterday that it looks like she's gonna be in town for another couple of years! \(^0^)/ That definitely makes a difference.
It has been so nught over the last few days not having to get up at 5am. I was up at 10.30 this morning. 10.30!!!!! That was definitely helped by how much wine we knocked back last night but this is the first day in a really long time that I have woken up in my own bed and haven't had to set an alarm.
Fantabulous.
The downside is that I still have to go into work later and that leaves me with such little time to do all this stuff that I need to do.
So it's off to the dry cleaner's for me!

A Change Of Scene
So I've been working at the same office in my company for over a year.
I love Ginza and I love working in Ginza but let me tell you something - the weekends and holidays in that place make me wanna scream!!! The streets are so crowded with people and tourists just mooching about and, quite frankly, outright getting in my way. Some people have places to go, you know!!!
Today was my first day at another office. I haven't transferred - just having a lil change of scene one day a week.
My goodness me - what a completely different vibe!!!!
Fantabulous thing number one - because I left a little earlier, I got a seat on the train!! On both the Oedo line AND the Yamanote line - SCORE!!!
Fantabulous thing number two - I could walk in a straight line because I wasn't having to dodge around loads of people.
The actual office is a lot quieter because it's more of a residential area, but I noticed such a mammoth difference in clients and coworkers. Everyone was so nice and way more relaxed. It was cool.
It's definitely making me think about moving around a little bit more to see what some of the other branches are like.
We'll see.

愛 ミス ユー
You know what....I haven't had the easiest week in the world.
And it's at times like this when I really, REALLY miss one of my girlies.
It's only been a few months since she left, but the absence of a fabulous, talented, intelligent and inspiring woman in my life becomes more and more apparent everyday.
Yes lady - I'm talking about YOU!!
Missing you like crazy.
xoxo

One Month To Go!
It's exactly one month until I take the JLPT.
Time to see if the thousands of pounds I've spent on Japanese classes this year is going to pay off.
The stress of studying is definitely taking it's toll - bad skin, grey hair - I've had a couple of people mention recently how white I'm looking!!! I had a good look in the mirror today and I have officially lost all the tan from the summer from my face. Luckily the rest of my body is still holding onto it! LOL!
The crappy bit about that is that I won't be getting any beach time until February. Noooo!!! The other problem with that is that I might have to dye my hair lighter. I can only rock this dyed black hair when my skin is darker otherwise not only will I end up looking like a goth, but I'll be looking like a deathly sick one as well!
Not cool.

Noooo!!! *PR SPOILER ALERT!!*
Did you see the finale of PR?!
I cannot believe Anya won over Josh!!!
OMG!
In the beginning I was totally rooting for Anya and was absolutely loving what she was putting on that runway. But, as usual, she started to get a stinking attitude and the way she was talking to and treating other designers completely put me off....and then I started to get completely won over by Josh.
His finally collection had diversity and rangr - Anya's was 8 dresses, a bathing suit and shorts. Nothing tailored, no range - just a whole load of different prints. If that had been someone else who could sew and actually had the skill set, they would definitely have been cussed out for being one-note for sure.
So disappointed for Josh - he deserved it so much.

What Are The Odds?!
Here in Tokyo, it's kinda rare for someone to just randomly approach me walking in the station and ask me out.
It happens when I'm standing still, it happens in clubs and it happens anytime a guy has consumed enough booze to have the courage to do so.
I was walking from the Odakyu line to the Oedo line in Shinjuku station on my way home from work, when suddenly this runty looking sleazeball of a guy comes slithering up to me and was like "Excuse me, did you just finish work? Do you want to have dinner with me?" I was so kinda thrown and then looking at his greasiness that I just came straight out with "英語分からない" (I don't speak English). It's actually something I've been saying a lot recently, purely out of annoyance that Japanese people automatically assume that all foreigners in Japan speak English. Even if most of them do, that's just not the point.
He the proceeded to ask me the same question in Japanese. I knew that answering in Japanese would lead to some kind of conversation with me trying to get rid of him, so I thought I was being super smart replying with "Nao falo nada de japones" (Portuguese for: I don't speak any Japanese). Feeling slightly smug inside and increasing my pace intending to fabulously walk off, you can imagine my shock and horror when he turned around and replied to me IN PORTUGUESE, "You're Brazilian?! WOW! How beautiful/sexy you are!"
Man, I was left absolutely dumbstruck. What are the odds of some Japanese guy randomly asking you out AND being able to speak Portuguese! I was like are you F****** kidding me?! I swear that kind of thing would only happen to me! I had no idea what to do, so I just decided to pull a face, ignore him and walk without looking back to see if he was going in the same direction. I was waiting for my train just shaking my head and kinda laughing to myself at what had just happened.
It's actually kinda awesome! HAHA! Doesn't matter whether I'm Brazilian or not - just the fact that I tried to be smart and it COMPLETELY backfired on me is hilarious! And so typical that I would be the one to run into someone that speaks Portuguese. Definitely gave me a giggle to add to the rest that I've had today.
Awesome day at work - I love presenting so much. =) And I found out today, that there is always an open place for me in head office to join the team there. It's always good to know that you're wanted and valued. I wish more people would look at me the way those guys do!
