I cancelled my plans for the evening again and decided to stay in.
To be honest, I am just shattered after this week and really didn't feel like going out straight after work like I have been.
And it is so nice to just be at home and doing nothing. Well, I've been catching up with my online TV shows.
Are you watching Project Runway? I absolutely LOVE Jay's stuff! It's so hot and glamourous.
Not to mention how awesome this season of 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl' is. Not only is Bryon ridiculousy and strangely smoking hot, but the storylines are way juicier than the other seasons combined.
My eyelids are drooping. Think I'll delve into my LP Australia instead!

BOLLOCKS!!
On my way home from work I was having a massive dilemma about whether to go to the gym. I was feeling absolutely exhausted and just wanted to collapse at home.
But no, I got in, packed up a bag and then rushed to the gym with 5 minutes to spare before my aerobics class. So I'm in the locker room, I get changed...I'm all set...and then I realise...I FORGOT MY DAMN TRAINERS!!!!
For most people, this wouldn't be the end of the world - they could just rent some from the front desk. But you KNOW how I feel about feet. There is no way in hell I am putting my feet in rental gym shoes! YUK!
I was just so annoyed because I had rushed to get there and was feeling tired and after all of that, I couldn't work out anyway! So it was into the onsen and sauna for me instead!
Such a waste. I picked up a package from the PO as well and before I had even gotten home, I had polished of 2 bags of Walkers Cheese &Onion crisps! As soon as I got in I finished the other pack and then ripped open a mammoth bag of Haribo...which is nearly all gone! I am such a PIG! And I have my dinner in the oven!
Has anyone ever smelt the Beckham Signature Story perfume? I bought some online and received it today. IT ABSOLUTELY STINKS!! LOL!! I only got it coz it was on special offer - 75ml for a measly 14 quid! Or was it 15....either way it was stupidly cheap and now I know why! It's weird coz being a Beckham brand I thought it would be all sophisticated and shit but it's actually pretty floral and old woman like! And I'm lumbered with a whole bottle of it! I was thinking I could wear it to work but it's a really strong smell and there is no doubt that my kids would waste no time at all telling me that I smell!

*Yawn*
Could today have been any more boring?!
I spent the whole day looking at the clock and just willing the day to go faster. I try not to but I just can't help snacking like crazy at work...it's like I need the sugar fix to get through the rest of the day.
LOL! That or I just love chocolate too much. It's those Alfort bisuits! You know the ones in the blue box that are covered with milk chocolate? I just LOVE those! I must get through god knows how many boxes of those in a week.
And I am still yet to continue studying on the train. I have switched to reading my LP Australia instead! I'm actually quite looking forward to going now - which is a big step considering that it was one of the places that I least wanted to visit before. Right up there with Canada! Which I still don't wanna go to! Sorry to all my Canadian friends!
But yah, it looks like Oz has quite a bit to offer. It may not have all the culture that I love so much about Asia but it'll be one of those uber chilled breaks where I get to catch up with friends. That's the main point of the trip. That and I need to cross it off my ever growing list of countries to go to! LOL! a very legit reason to go I think!
I wonder if my salmon's thawed out yet....don't you hate defrosting stuff in the microwave?! I stuffed my face with biscuits and chocolate before I left work so I think I'll be good to let it thaw out by itself...even if it means having a late dinner. The story of my life.
LMAO - totally random I know!

Effed Up Dreams
Argh - I really wish I could tell you about the dreams I had last night.
But I've forgotten.
After one of them I woke up in a complete state of panic and when my alarm went off this morning, it scared the hell out of me. I may not remember what I had been dreaming about, but it was definitely messed up.
And as I'm getting ready to go to work, I am feeling exhausted.
Do you ever have that feeling when you know something is bothering you but you can't put your finger on what it is? That's what I have right now. It's like I've forgotten what it is that I should be bothered about. A very strange feeling indeed.
I hate Thursdays. Probably my most boring day at work - a jam packed day filled with dull, quiet students. Well, not all of them are quiet but for some reason I always spend Thursdays yawning.
K, I gotta head out.

日本人みたい！！！
I have had a few students tell me that I look Japanese.
LOL right?!?!
Just because I have black hair. I didn't even wear it straight today because I went from the gym straight to work, so even with the curls, they still tell me I look Japanese.
*sigh*
The ignorance of the Japanese really bothers me sometimes and this was no exception. Foreign people don't have black hair?!?! Do they even realise how stupid that sounds? And it's not just the students - even a couple of mums have made a comment to that effect. I had one woman come up with the dumbass theory that all Japanese people want brown hair and all foreigners want black hair. The worst was the way she said it - all matter of fact, like she knew what the hell she was talking about.
On a more positive note, my hair is still gorgeous and shiny. Herbal dyes all the way baby!!!
And on a even MORE positive note, I have had my holiday approved for the summer! I couldn't believe it - I thought I was going to have a massive battle on my hands because of the strict rules that come with taking holidays but it was like I had made a big deal about nothing! I'm still waiting for head office to realise what they've agreed to and take it back!
Fingers crossed!

Lalala
God, I have been so busy today and am absolutely knackered.
It's like even when I manage to actually grab some free time, there is ALWAYS something that I need to be doing. I just don't get that time where I have LITERALLY nothing to do anymore.
And why the hell has it gotten so cold again?! I was absolutely freezing walking around outside and even being in my house, I'm still cold. Maybe I was a bit premature in putting that electric blanket away.
I'm having a bit of a weird time right now. I am constantly changing my mind about what to do about my job...somedays I know I can see this contract out - others, I've just had it up to here with spoilt, bratty kids who have no idea how to behave and dealing with ignorant, pushy, negligent, smart arse mothers who think that you have to do anything they want them to because they pay. Urgh. Not only that I just turn into a robot on during my commute and all I can think about is how much I could actually get doen if I didn't have to waste so much time going to a job that I don't really like.
Argh - it's not even that I don't really like it. Sometimes I have great classes. Never great days - there is always at least one difficult class a day but after some classes I'm grinning my arse off because I've had so much fun, or the kids ahve done a really great job, you know? I can handle it - the pressure, the paperwork, the parents, the badly behaved kids - I CAN. I just don't want to have to. It's a completely different thing and I just keep thinking about the toll that this job is taking on me. I haven't studied in weeks because when I do get the time, I always have other things that I have to do, or when I do get the time, I am just so tired it's the last thing that I want to be doing.
どうしょうかなー。

Once You Go Black...
So I bit the bullet and dyed my hair black today.
And no, it's not my natural colour. My hair is actually dark brown and now that it's black, it's made me realise how light my natural colour is!
I'm loving it. It's so...BLACK! And super, super shiny from the herbal dye that my colourist used to try and protect my hair - now badly damaged from bleach. I think that when my hair is dark, it always looks better straight. The curls definitely look better when it's blonde.
I've had a fringe cut as well. I don't know how girls do it - IT'S SO EFFING ANNOYING!!! Just hanging there in your face and in your eyes. Argh! Luckily I didn't have it cut too short so it shouldn't be too long before it grows out again. Or maybe it will just take some getting used to...but right now I've clipped it back coz it is actually irritating the crap outta me! LOL!
I do need to have more cut off but I just can't have short hair. It's not that I don't want to - it's the amount of styling that it would require. I would have to straighten it every day, and given how damaged my hair is from bleaching it, I don't think heated irons will help! Plus, it's so humid here in the summer, even if I was to straighten it everyday, it would be a matter of minutes before it became a frizzy mess again!
I'm still doing a double take when I walk past a mirror!

Raaaahhhh!!!!
OMG!! How much am I LOVING Season 8 of 24?!?!
I've always said it was the best thing on TV. Of course, every drama has a couple of dodgy seasons, but damn, this season is just INSANE!!!
After 7 seasons, I can already spot some of the twists before they happen but what got me about this newest episode is how awesome a fiance Cole is!
I mean seriously, you find out that your fiancee isn't the woman you think she is and then you just turn around, just like that, and stand up for her and forgive her for everything...out of love. Well, he might not have forgiven her but he totally took control and dealt with her problems. Even though she had lied to him about everything...even down to her name. Incredible.
I just love, love, LOVE this show. Never a dull moment.
And I have to say that I am really enjoying the last season of LOST. Although, I hate this whole thing with Claire being the bad guy. It just doesn't suit her being all bad ass with her messed up hair and dirty face. Why are they trying to make her the new Rousseau? Or whatever that other woman's name was...you know, the French one? It's exactly the same! Yawn. They need to get over that already - especially now that her 'friend' is that black smoke thingy that looks like John Locke. I just wish that they would hurry up and reunite Jin and Sun. That whole separation storyline has been dragged out for long enough. Jin always gets caught up in all this shit - it's about time something good happened to him!
