2 Years On

Isn't it really hard when you know that you should be there for family, but you are thousands of miles away?

I felt like that last Friday. The second anniversary of the death of my beloved nan.

I can't believe that two years has passed, yet the pain can still be so raw.

And what went down the day before, just made the whole thing even harder to deal with.

Hope you are Resting In Peace.

I love you.

Do You Ever Get That Feeling....

....that you just can't say or do anything right?

Or that anything that you do saying is taken too literally or interpreted in the wrong way?

That's what it's been like for me for about the last month.

And the problem with that is that people are too quick to react to stuff, instead of taking a second to think about what I'm trying to say or even simply ask me what I mean.

They just go ahead and jump down my throat and cuss me out. And I'm just sick of it. I'm dealing with enough right now, what with being dumped a second year running, to be dealing with everyone else's misinterpretations and whatnot.

Try just asking. It works wonders.

The Devil Wears Prada

I absolutely LOVE this movie!!!

I think that at some point in every girl's life, we've all thought about going into the fashion industry in one way or another. Or you at least go through that phase where you start paying more attention than you did before to fashion trends and what was in and what was out.

I absolutely adore clothes but I wouldn't say I was a die hard fashion fan. For the most part, I'm not even into fashion trends...well, sometimes, and I mix high street and designer labels rather than sticking to one or the other. I normally find that when you pay nothing for an item of clothing, well, it looks like nothing. It does pay off to pay more and look good, rather than paying less and looking cheap.

I am dying to go shopping. I haven't been once since I moved to Tokyo because I went so crazy in London and i just can't afford it. I have been window shopping with friends and getting them to spend their money instead! I have seen so much nice stuff this season but I'm gonna have to wait until the winter sales before I can indulge. I need a whole new business wardrobe - I mean, there's nothing wrong with the one that I have, but a girl gets bored!!!

I just want to be spoilt rotten!!! And there is no one to do it!! LOL - makes me wish I was still with my ex-ex boyfriend!!! He bought me clothes and bags all the time!! That was the life! *sigh*

Oh well, onwards and upwards!

Party Time!

My God, there is so much stuff going on over the next couple of months.

I have something planned every weekend this month, and most of next month. I can barely keep up with what's going on! Not to mention the fact that all of this stuff costs money and is putting a mammoth hole in my wallet.

But the thing is, all this stuff coming up is so awesome, that I just can't pass it up! Plus I always look at these events as a way to meet new people, so it's all good! That's how I'm justifying it anyway!

And considering that I'm gonna be stuck in Japan for Xmas and New Year while all my friends are jetting off somewhere else, I'm gonna get my partying in while I can!

Retard Moment

I went to the gym this morning.

It was all going well - I did my aqua class, soaked in the onsen - it felt great.

Then I was getting ready for my dance class...and I realised I'd forgotten my trainers.

Bollocks!

I was pissed because there is no way in hell I was gonna wear a pair of rental trainers - GROSS! So I had to just come back home. I only worked out for 30mins but it was tough and my legs are aching so I guess it's a good thing.

Not to mention that I'm absolutely knackered anyway.

Argh!

Gah!

I have had a stinking headache pretty much all day.

I went to the gym this afternoon and then had to go teach. I am so glad I'm done with these native level kids - they are so much work - but now that their old teacher is back, I'm down 14,000yen a week. OUCH!

So not cool.

Why is this headache so bad? I don't feel like I'm under any stress, I don't have a hangover, I had loads of sleep last night, I've been drinking water all day....

I give in - I'm gonna take some ibruprofen!

あれ？

Just one weekend of not going to the gym and it feels like I haven't been for ages!

And I can't deny that I'm looking forward to getting back into it tomorrow, especially the aqua class. It's easily my favourite and I enjoy it every time. Plus the old ladies are so unbelievably adorable and fun.

What a weekend!

I had a couple of friends fly in from Kyushu. It was sooooo great to see them you have no idea.

On Saturday night was the big one. I had been looking forward to that night for 2 months. Paul van Dyk at ageHa! There was a good group and the party started at my place with a ridiculous amount of alcohol and pizza!

So eventful. So much happened. But we have all agreed that what happens in ageHa stays in ageHa so unfortunately I can't share with you! LOL!

But I can tell you about the funniest and most embarrassing punked out moment ever that happened to my friend. That person isn't even embarrassed about it but it's absolutely HILARIOUS!!!

So my friend really badly needed to pee. Instead of going before we got on the bus to go to the club, they decided to hold it. And hold it. By the time that we arrived there, they were on the verge of peeing their pants. So when they get off the bus, they immediately ran into this car park where there were loads of vans parked. As they were running, this guy shouts out really loudly 'トイレでしょう？だめだめ！公園！’ He basically knew exactly what they were trying to do and told them that they can't pee there and to go to the park! LOLOLOLOL!! Punked!!! In front of everyone! I couldn't stop laughing!

Yesterday we headed back down to Yokohama. I love it down there so much. We got down there pretty late and we were all exhausted so we didn't hang out at Cosmo World but it was nice to just be there anyway. And help them spend their money!

So quiet in my house now that they've gone! I miss them already!

Come back!
