Up We Go!

I just got back from another great training session.

And I am now an FM Instructor Certifier.

What is that? In more simple terms, sales-teacher-trainer.

The best bit about it is that I've been wanting to get into training for the best part of this year. It's just crazy that it's actually sales training - especially since I haven't even finished my own. I'mr eally looking forward to the variation that it's gonna provide to my schedule though - in my last job I was bored after a month and the novelty of being an ALT for a couple of years also wore of quickly....to the point that by the end of the first year, I really disliked my job. By the middle of the second year, I hated it. And by the end I couldn't stand it.

So yah, it feels good to actually like what I'm doing and developing all these skills that I didn't even know I had. I'm meeting some fantastic people along the way too and making some really good freinds.

Awesomeness.

Booked

Yes, I know I promised but I couldn't go to the gym today.

First day of THAT time of the month.

Cramps.

Oooowwwwww!!!

Well, it's as good an excuse as any! Haha!

I spent this evening booking internal flights and buses for my trip to Oz.

I can't believe that it's only a matter of weeks until I will be there. So looking forward to getting a tan and just chilling on the beach with a book. Or 10.

:D

Uh Oh

I've been hit with the lazy bug.

I haven't been to the gym for a couple of weeks now. I was gonna go tonight but I'm just KNACKERED and seriously can't be arsed to go. Plus I don't wanna force myself to go and then be absolutely shattered at work tomorrow - it's just not worth it.

From Sunday. I promise!

Only a month to get my bikini body on!

From Sunday. I promise.

Yes.

What A Weekend

I really had a great time this weekend in Seoul.

Catching up with a good friend, SHOPPING, clubbing, getting blind drunk, hardcore belly laughs - it was awesome.

Seoul is a really beautiful city. A night the lights are just stunning. So many colours and just seriously pretty - in that respect it definitely has the edge over Tokyo.

While I was there, it was seriously reminiscent of when I first came to Japan. The lack of English there hits you pretty much right away and I was back to relying on gesture communication and broken words. How HARD is Korean to pronounce?! When I was walking around by myself, even saying "excuse me" to ask someone for directions went misunderstood. I just got blank stares back - it's crazy!

I hit the shops hard. Not clothes, not bags, not shoes....but....SKINCARE PRODUCTS!!! I am now in possession of so many high brand anti ageing creams and am soooo chuffed at how cheap they were. I loaded up on lotions, potions and make up in duty free - although I am NEVER gonna get it in LOTTE and pick it up at the airport EVER AGAIN. It was just long queues and chaos and at that stupid time in the morning that I was in the airport, that was the last thing I needed.

Back to the grind tomorrow.

*sigh*

Off Again

Nothing like listening to slow jamz while packing for a break.

I'm leaving in 20 minutes to go to Korea. I AM excited but I'm petrified because it's supposed to be FREEZING over there. And you all know how much I hate the winter and the cold weather. Yet it doesn't seem to affect what I pack in my suitcase. I figure if you take a big jacket then it doesn't really matter what you wear underneath. LOL!

Either way I wanna go shopping and get some new clothes anyway so it's a win win situation. Haha!

See y'all in a few days.

WWWWHHHHHAAAATTTTTT??????

I am completely and utterly dumbfounded by Simon Cowell on this year's X-Factor.

Where are the bitchy nasty comments that we all know and love?!

5 times in the bottom and he saves Katie AGAIN. Like seriously - WTF?! In the past, if someone has been in the bottom more than twice he's all over that and gets rid of them.

What is going on?!

I can't stand Katie and her attention grabbing antics. She just needs a punch in the face. And so does Simon for supporting her. And so does Cheryl for putting her through in the first place!!

Unbelievable! I wish I had the will to boycott the show! LOL!

Wowzers!

My goodness me.

I've literally spent HOURS online trying to work out the best way to get around OZ. I've compared costs of a million different routes and my head is spinning.

BUT

I think I have it worked out. I've even looked at availability of hotels to make sure that I don't get screwed over when booking my bus tickets and flights. It's gonna be a bit of a whirlwind trip...well, the last 5/6 days will be anyway but you know me! I like to get in as much as possible! =)

Just really excited bout getting the chance to just kick back and enjoy the beach for a few weeks. Feeling way to white right now!

I've already been thinking about travel plans for next year as well. It's gonna be a big one that's for sure. The beauty of having such a flexible job....*sigh*

Now I need to plan my trip to Korea next week!

The Colours of Autumn

These are just a few of the gorgeous pictures I took in Nikko.

I just wanted you to see the colours more than anything!!

So pretty.
