Once You're At The Top....

...the only way is down.

One minute you have everyone kissing your arse, but all it takes is ONE thing - no matter how small - to bring you tumbling down.

I saw it happen to someone I work with today. It's definitely opened up my eyes - it feels like it's almost a warning not to get complacent.

Warning noted.

Oops I Did It Again!

I have a crush on someone I shouldn't.

AGAIN!

Actually, make that 3 people that I probably shouldn't.

LOL!

Hehe!

I can't even begin to tell you how wasted I got on Tuesday night.

LMAO!!

My friends had to put me in a cab at like 5am - turns out my attempts at talking were just horrible slurring noises!

All this and I was still dressed in work clothes - how embarrassing! And brilliantly hilarious.

I had a blast.

Thanks boys!

A New Level...

....of knackeredness.

I could barely keep my eyes open at work today and they seemed to get heavier as the day went on. On the train ride back home, I totally knocked out and now I am DYING to go to bed.

This is, it's not even 8.15pm! And I know that if I was to go to bed know I would knock straight out...and then wake up at like 1 or 2am. Which is so not cool given the fact that I'll be up at 5.15am anyway.

*sigh*

*sniff* *sniff*

Urgh!

I feel rotten. Just, like, annoying runny nose and constant sniffing rotten.

And I know it's just gonna get worse. The cough will be next - dry, then chesty. I wonder how long I'm going to have to ride it out for.

I left work a little earlier today and decided to treat myself to a trip to the international supermarket, where I loaded up with Western goodies! Bagels, chocolate, cheese, HP sauce and more. No excuse not to cook now! I came back home and went to the local supermarket to stock up on vegetables as well and then cooked a green Thai curry for dinner.

Now I just have to keep it up! I always get short bursts of motivation to cook and prepare lunches to take to work, but then I get tired and we all know that when you get tired, you get lazy. And then all your food goes bad. But I'm determined not to let that happen this time - not after I spent about 13,000 yen on everything!

Even though I can afford it, I still resent paying such ridiculous prices for imported goods here. I was looking at cereals and other sauces and stuff and the prices are just extortionate! Especially when you think about what you would pay in Tesco back home! It's just really annoying, but at the end of the day, it boils down to how big your craving for stuff is. I'm not doing too badly but I did fork out the fiver for a small bottle of HP sauce. What a rip off! But sometimes, it has to be done.

Mmmmmm

Snuffly

I've caught a cold.

And I know it was in Kyushu!!

When I went down there last weekend, I had absolutely no idea that it would be so cold! Seriously, in the evening it felt like we were already in the middle of winter. I didn't have enough warm clothes with me and resorted to borrowing suit jackets and hoodies.

I've been sniffing and sneezing all day. So not cool. It's not even just that - I hate the way having a cold makes me feel so run down! Even the energy drinks couldn't get me out of it today.

Definitely going to be an early night for me!

E-Readers

Does anyone have an e-reader?

I'm really thinking about getting one.

Apart from the fact that I wouldn't have to lug a whole load of books with me on holiday, I reckon I would actually read more because I would be able to download new books at anytime - and at a cheaper price. I miss reading on trains - I don't have any new books and I haven't had time to browse online for some new ones either.

And I am loving the look of the new Kindle 3. I haven't really heard people talk about e-readers much and I haven't seen them about here so I have no idea how popular they are. What do you guys think?

I'm also leaning towards getting an iPhone. I never really cared about having an amazing phone before, but now that it looks like I'm gonna be hanging around for the forseeable future and I can actually AFFORD to own one, I'm thinking about it.

I can't decide if I want the iPhone or Blackberry....EVERYONE here has the iPhone and I prefer keys to touch screens....but then again, the iPhone can do so much MORE, not to mention the fact that it's WAY cheaper to run than a Blackberry over here.

HELP!!!

Wildcards!!!

Yay to the wildcards in X-Factor!!!

DIVA FEVER ARE BACK IN!!!! Woohoo!!

So glad to see Treyc back in there as well - although I guess it would have been a tough decision between her and Gamu. Not sure that Danni brought the right guy back in and poor Louis didn't really have much of a choice! LOL!

I absolutely loved last night's show. I can't stand Storm or Nicolo with a passion but I really enjoyed the rest of the performances. Mary and Aidan absolutely SMASHED it for me but they were all soooooo good. Laughed my arse off at Wagner's performance and Diva Fever just made me grin - they're so much fun!!!

It's gonna be a great show this year!!

I got so caught up watching that I didn't make it to the gym like I planned.

DOH!!
