I so badly wanna go on holiday.
I hate not having a break to look forward to! This time last year I was planning my holiday to Thailand and Cambodia! And this year I'm stuck in Japan. Booo!!!
So I've decided to start looking into my holidays next year instead! I mean, why not? It's not like I don't have the time on my hands and seeing as I'm sick, I have more time than ever!
I'm thinking the French Polynesia for Golden Week - either Taihiti or Bora Bora. And then I wanna do a trip to the states next summer, after I do a quick trip back to Kyushu.
I need to find some time in there to do Laos and finish off Vietnam and get to Malaysia and Singapore. If Bora Bora or Tahiti become too expensive, then Golden Week would be perfect for Malaysia.
Yay! I love planning holidays! Just a shame that I'm gonna have to wait so long before I even get to go anywhere!

Today's Quote
Written by an unknown author, this one really got to me.
"I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be".
When you're younger, you have these goals in your head that you're gonna be in a certain place by a certain time.
And damn, I am nowhere near where I wanted to be at this age. Admittedly, I'm not doing too bad but still nowhere near.
And that makes me a bit sad to be honest! Plus I want to use this as the kick up the arse I need to work harder to get closer to being where and who I want to be.

I Will Try!!
Man, I really need to learn to turn the other cheek sometimes!
No matter how childish someone is being, how low they're stooping - I just need to walk away and leave them to play on their own.
I was speaking to my friend last night and he made me realise that I just need to walk away.
And that's exactly what I'm gonna do!
What would I do without you, eh?

Nooooo!!!
What has happened to Jenny?
She has turned so bad! And what is going on with her bright white hair and horrendous lipstick!? I like her more in last season when she was actually styling. Now she just looks a complete mess.
Chuck on the other hand....that suit.....
Mmmmmmmm.
LOL!

This one is by Byrd Baggett.
"Look at life throught the windshield, not the rear-view mirror".
It's similar to something I quoted before about looking forward and not back. To be able to move forward in life you need to stop looking back.
Don't dwell. Move on.
LOL - funny that I choose this, yet in my last entry I was talking about my ex. But it's not the same - I'm not dwelling - I'm reminisicing. And we all reminisce about things sometimes - especially when they make us smile.

The Ex
I spent a lot of time yesterday clearing out stuff and I came across loads of photos of me on holiday with my ex.
Just to make it clear, when I say my ex, I'm talking about the guy that broke my heart. Before I was calling him my ex-ex but I realised that what was going on recently with someone else wasn't a relationship so it doesn't count. That was just....nothing.
So yah, the ex is the guy that took me 7 months to get over. Anyway, when I was looking at those pictures, I was smiling. Because despite the way that things ended up, we were really good friends and had so much fun together. I'm not angry anymore - it doesn't mean that I would ever give him another chance - it just means that I'm over it. He's not the only guy that I've had a messy ending with, but he's the only one that I look back on without cringing or wondering what the hell I was thinking and that kind of stuff. He's the only guy that I never got sick of - that I still was excited about seeing even after spending every single day together. And weirdest of all - he's the only guy that even after splitting up, I never got rid of anything that reminded me of him. Au contraire - I actually kept everything, even though at the time it was incredibly painful. With everyone else, I get rid of the photos and anything else that they may have given me coz I cringe when I think of them.
Funny how I feel the best about the guy that hurt me the most! That makes absolutely no sense! But I guess when you let your guard down and let someone actually get to know you, you have an amazing time. And you know what they say - it's better to have love and lost, then to never have loved at all! So true. Those are fabulous memories that I have.
And I have a confession to make! I actually saw him a few weeks back. I was a bit nervous but then I saw he was as well - you have to remember that I havent seen him for the best part of a year. The most remarkable thing about it was that I had no romantic feelings towards him whatsoever! Seriously! But it felt amazing - it was like catching up with a really old friend. Everything was ridiculously comfortable and I realised how much I miss being around him just because we get on so, so well and he's absolutely hilarious. The whole thing was left very casually - I'll see ya when I see ya kinda thing. He moves around a lot for work so it's rare for him to be in the same spot for a long time. But that all suits me fine. I was just so relieved to feel good - to not feel anger or hate or anything. To be over what happened. I was just so happy to see him because I'd forgotten all the good things and now that I've been reminded of them, I look back with better memories!
That's just reminded me that I haven't given my quote of the day for a couple of days!!! I'm gonna go find one now.

Enough!
I was talking to my friend today and we came to a conclusion.
We have had enough of being single!!!
I am so ready for a decent guy! And to be wined and dined and pampered.
Wouldn't that be nice?
*sigh*

Post Japan
Another friend who left Japan this year has gone back to Buenos Airies.
So many people have decided to go back to South America. I'm actually impressed how many people I've met over here who have actually spent an extended amount of time there, including myself, and it's nice to see that so many people still have a special connection with the continent.
I was talking to her about why she went back, and she said that working here in Japan for two years was like working herself to an early grave. Being back in South America is allowing her to actually LIVE life again, rather than plodding through day by day over here just to save money. And God knows there are so many people here doing that. Not the reason to stay here guys!
At some point I definitely want to go back to South America - especially Brazil (which will ALWAYS be a special place for me) and Argentina. It's an incredible continent. But while I am here in Asia, I wanna do what I need to do over here first. And then definitely includes a trip back to Indonesia!
I wanna be paid to travel. That would be my ideal job. Do you remember Jill Dando? I ALWAYS wanted her job on "Holiday".
Might start looking into that again!
