I just watched the X Factor results show.
And I CANNOT believe that Miss Frank and Danyl were in the bottom two.
Seriously I think the public are just pissing around. Trying to wind everyone up by keeping John and Edward in. Not to mention Lloyd, who was absolutely TERRIBLE on Saturday night. And it's completely unfair on the acts who are actually talented. Like Miss Frank and Danyl. Who both blew me away on the show and got glowing feedback from all the judges. It annoys me that the public don't support the real talent.
Arrrrgggghhhh!!!!
I feel sorry for them girls.
Get youself together UK!!!

Jealous
I was just talking to my friend in Saudi Arabi and I am so jealous!
She's sick as well...except she has this amazing medical insurance so she gets to go the hospital...and then leave with a whole medicine goody bag. All for a measly 5-6quid.
Ah man, that is so unfair!! Just buying my tiny 10ml bottle of eyedrops cost me 7 quid.
But they are working nicely. My eye isn't oozing as much gunk now and the swelling has gone down a tiny bit. Although it's still a disgusting red colour. Yuk.
I'll stick with it - after all, it's not gonna magically improve in the space of a few hours. Although I wish it would because then I wouldn't have had to cancel my class tomorrow. I'm not in a financial position to be doing that.
Grrrr....

LOLOL!
I just watched the X Factor show from last night.
John and Edward are killing me! How can you watch them perform and not laugh?! So cheesy with terrible dance moves but I just can't stop watching! You know he needs to leave soon though? Lloyd. I think he is terrible every week. Something about his voice just never works with whatever song he sings.
And why the hell is Danyl not getting more praise? He has been absolutely incredible - especially this week I thought his performance was amazing. Yet none of the judges (other than Simon obviously) seem really excited by what he's doing. Poor guy. And he is serious hotness as well!
Looking forward to watching the results show tomorrow!

Typical!!
LOL and there I was saying that I wasn't gonna go out coz I was sick!!!
I didn't go on my hot date but I still had a blinding night out in nichome. And it was so typical that I would find the hottest straight guy ever in a gay club...only to find out that he was going back to LA in a couple of days! Doh! Just my luck!!! Only one thing you can do in a situation like that!
;-)
The party at my place was pretty good fun too - the perfect warm up. I was feeling a bit better before I left but I noticed that my eyes had started to weep. And then throughout the course of the night the swelling got worse and worse - I actually looked like I'd been punched!
And then I woke up this morning and confirmed that I have conjunctivitus. Great! It's like my body is on a breakdown or something! Typical now that I've started back at the gym! Argh! But I went to the chemist this morning to get some eyedrops and it's feeling much better already. So hopefully this shouldn't last for too long. Although I still think I might have to go to the doctor to get some antibiotics for my throat. I'll wait until Wednesday and then decide.
Gah! I just hate being sick. Just need to rest this week.

Japanese Healthcare
I was online all last night looking for International Clinics here in Tokyo.
Where I lived before, I didn't have access to English speaking doctors and when I got sick, it was incredibly frustrating because I would either have to get someone to come with me, or struggle through the whole process feeling like shit and take three times as long doing it.
I wanted to go to the clinic today because I'm 99% sure that I now have a throat infection that is spreading to my ears. I have a lifetime history of throat problems - before I had my tonsils taken out at the ridiculous age of 23, I was hospitalized once a year with tonsillitus or quinsies and had throat infections every winter.
Pain in the arse.
So I called a couple of clinics this morning to see if I could get an emergency appointment. What I didn't realise is a lot of these clinics are private and don't accept the Japanese Health Insurance that I have. I was like...hmmmmm...OK, it can't be that bad right? So I told the receptionist what was going on and then asked her what the standard consultation fee was.
12,000yen!!!! (£80)
And that's just to see the doctor!! Any medication I get prescribed would be added on top.
I can't believe it!!! That is absolutely ridiculous!
I did manage to find a clinic that DID accept the Health Insurance but I just resent how much healthcare costs here - even with the insurance. I might be sick but I think I'm gonna hang off a bit and see if this clears up on it's own before shelling out ridiculous fees just for antibiotics. I'm never gonna complain about the £6.50 prescription fee ever again when I go back to England. It hasn't been a week yet - obviously if it starts to get worse then I'm gonna go, but I'm gonna give it a week - maybe a week and a half - and see if it starts to get any better. My ears aren't as bad as they were yesterday but it only seems to come on in the evenings.
Just have to keep popping those painkillers! But you know what, I'm seriously gonna look into private health insurance. The treatment of private patients is (as if should be) significantly higher and there are serious benefits to be gained - immediate appointments, longer consultation times, shorter waiting lists to see specialists and for specific treatment. And because I'm planning on being here long term it might just be worth it...although I'm not actually sick that often and I don't have any conditions that require constant medical care.
This sucks.
There goes my hot date tonight!! Even though I'm feeling slightly better, I just don't want to make it any worse! Plus I found out that his film premieres today but there are private screenings for the next couple of days so I might go on Monday instead. Pah - I hate being sensible!! But this is not the country to be really sick in - it'll end up costing a fortune!!!

Yummy!
Because my throat is still ridiculously sore, I've passed up on a VIP night on the town to stay at home....and bake!!!
I've made a cheesecake which is a roaring success and I made some cupcakes as well. But I hate the cake cases here! I used the foil ones and I put slightly too much mix in them and they kinda overflowed. So to get them out the cake tin, I had to cut the tops off! Not so much of a success. =(
Gonna go on the hunt for some proper cases tomorrow!

Ooooohhh I Nearly Forgot!!!
I haven't given you my quote of the day!!!
This is one by Maria Robinson.
"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending".
I love the strength of this quote. We all wish that we can go back and change something, but we just can't. But it doesn't mean that you have to live your life dwelling on things you did, or decisions you made. It's hard to leave the past where it is, but you can change the way you move forward.
Your thoughts!

HOW Predictable?!
My God, some people are so predictable, it's almost pathetic!!!
It's like you do something, and then they go and do the same thing back. Sounds fair right? But that depends what it is! And what it is right now is just stupidly CHILDISH!!!!
If that person was here, I would slap them and then just tell them to grow up.
It's so pathetic it's embarrassing. Literally makes me cringe.
Oh dear.
Some people just never learn.
