You have no idea how irritated I am right now.
I wish I could tell you that it's about something really juicy....but it isn't!
I CAN'T EFFING COMPLETE LEVEL 23 OF CANDY CRUSH SAGA!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
Seriously - I've been stuck at the same level for 2 effing days and I was up until 1am last night! That game is costing me my sleep!
If I see the message "You have not cleared all the jelly" one more time, I'm going to scream!
I KNOW I HAVEN'T CLEARED ALL THE EFFING JELLY!!!
I ALWAYS end up with one left. ONE!!!! If they would just let me have one more move, I'd be out of my misery!
And now I have to wait 13 minutes to get more lives!
Who invented this stupid game?!
They should be shot!
LOL - how's that for a random one?!
LMFAO!!

Bakewell Tarts!!!!
I know I rarely have a lot of positive things to say about my job.
But my goodness me, when it's good, it's really, REALLY good!
My shift last night was an absolute riot! I ended the night with 3 awesome ladies who just made my evening!
The first was a girl who couldn't be more of a receptive learner if she tried! She always wants to know super natural phrases, and she blows me away when weeks down the line, she can still use them perfectly.
I gave her some random words and asked her to make a story using them. She knows I love gossip and crazy imagination and it's defintiely had an effect on her writing! I have to share this with you because, honestly, I laughed so hard I cried!!!
The story started with:
"I met a guy whose face was busted. He tried to get into my pants".
I was gone from the first line. She continued as tears of laughter streamed down my face. And then she got to the end....
"I went to a Chinese restaurant with my boyfriend. I ate too much and felt like a fat pig, but my boyfriend said I was beautiful. We went home and I changed the light bulb. (one of the random words I had given her!) I wanted my boyfriend to see my sexy knickers. But suddenly, I got an upset stomach. So there was no action. My poor sexy knickers. The end."
PRICELESS. Absolutely priceless!
Seriously - how good is that?! When I met this girl, she could barely string a sentence together - I can't believe how fast she has progressed and her retention ability is so impressive!
Then came my next client who always gives me a giggle. Her attempts at making a telephone noise sent me into hysterics that I ended up in a coughing fit.
Just when I thought I couldn't handle any more excitement, my next client came in. I knew she had been on a business trip to London and had asked me a lot of advice about it before she went, so I was really excited to hear how everything went. Then out of her bag she pulled....
....an effing box of Bakewell Tarts!!!!!
I was so shocked, I actually shrieked and then I was bursting with happiness. It was all I could do not to rip open the box and start shovelling them into my mouth there and then!!!! I had told her that I missed them so much and she brought a box back from me! For that split second, I just wanted to go back to London and have a mammoth shopping spree in Tesco!!!
How much do I miss Tesco?!
*sigh*
So I went home in a great mood. And when I woke up this morning and saw those Bakewell Tarts on the side, I broke into a huge grin. I've been smiling all morning and after a caviar face mask, my skin is glowing. I don't think there's much that can spoil my day today! And even if there is, I'm not going to let it!
Fantastic.

Hmmmmm....
I'm not really sure if I should write about this.....
.....but I'm going to anyway! LOL!
So basically, someone new came into my life at the end of last month.
Hot, sexy, inked, caring, funny, edgy, interesting, receptive, different and....
....unavailable.
Of course.
But what was even more different about this person, is that there was an instant...
....connection.
Strong.
Electric.
Hard to describe.
Not just physical attraction. Not just lust.
Do you remember about 3 years ago, I told you about that guy in Miami who made me drop my ice cream?
It's that same kind of connection that I had with that guy.
But even stronger.
Except this time, this guy is so completely unavailable, it's not even funny.
Not to mention that he also lives on the other side of the world.
Typical.
I only got to spend the shortest of time with him, but when he left, I was actually gutted.
And annoyed that someone that had had that effect on me lives so far away that I'll never be able to find out what that was all about.
Just because he's not here anymore, it doesn't mean that he's not constantly on my mind.
Which is also really effing annoying.
I'm sure it will pass....かなぁー。

A New Decade
Yes, I know, I'm crap and haven't updated for a few weeks!
So, what's been happening?
Of course...
...I've entered a new decade!!
I had a great time on my birthday...and also a fantastic time the night before! To be honest, I spent my entire birthday with a champagne hangover, ended up falling asleep, rocked up late to my own birthday party and then started sipping on oolong tea!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
It wasn't even about getting wasted. I was genuinely touched by the number of people who made the effort to come out and celebrate my birthday with me. It was great to see people that I haven't seen in AGES and also to watch everyone enjoying the food...especially since I barely touched any....and watch everyone laughing and having a good time. As well as enjoying the party myself, it's also important to me that everyone else has a good time.
How does being 30 feel?
Well, let's just say that my dirty thirties got off to a very dirty start indeed!
LMFAO!
I'm over the whole feeling old thing and just wanna concentrate on staying healthy, continuing to travel and my career. There will be a lot of changes coming up over the next year, I reckon, and the most important thing for me to do now is to prepare and embrace those changes. I am ready for them....it's just taking that first leap. I'm really excited about what's to come and I can feel that this is going to be such an awesome decade.
I've taken the pressure off of myself and am concentrating on enjoying life.
I mean, that's what it's there for!
Spontanaeity got the better of me last week and I ended up going to Thailand for a few days. I headed down to Koh Samui with a friend and my girl came down from the north to come and hang with me for a bit. I haven't seen her man since I left London and it was good to see that even after 6 years, none of us have changed! LOL! Seriously, it was fantastic to get away for a bit, catch up and just relax in a beautiful environment. It was pretty active - we were up at 6 or 7am every day to either watch the sunrise or work out. I had actually thought it was gonna be one of those chilled out things just lounging by the pool every day, but that only happened on the day we arrived. We rented a car, drove about the island, did a spot of shopping and then on the final day hit the spa for a whopping 7 hours and 15 minutes.
To say I felt ******* AMAZING when I left the spa is an understatement.
It was perfect. Exactly what I needed.
And then it was back to Tokyo and back to work....and back to dealing with....yeh well, I don't even want to go into it. I've been pushed too far and am ready to do something about it. =)
Coming back to Tokyo also meant coming back to the rainy season. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I swear it's not as humid as last year...or maybe that's all still to come. I'm just looking forward to it being over and am hoping for some more beach time soon.

=)
I know I said before that I was surrounded by a whole load of incompetent people.
Well, I'm surrounded by even more AMAZING people!
The last week of my twenties, and I've started to receive birthday presents already.
I never really expect them, so when I get them it just makes me smile. And then I smile even harder when I realise how well people know me.
Over the last couple of days, I've received champagne, chocolates and cakes.
And yes, most of it all has gone already - LOL!
Naturally, I've been reflecting back on the last decade....and all I can think is WOAH.
But that's a whole other entry!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU.

DOH!
Honestly, so much drama - I really can't be arsed with it!!!
I just wish more people would check themselves before bringing drama to my door....I mean seriously, I'm only going to react in one way.
If you don't TELL me something, how the hell am I supposed to know?! Do I have some kinda psychic power someone forgot to tell me about?
And then to have the cheek to turn around and tell me that it's MY fault because I didn't ask?!
Grrrr.....
Some people are lucky they don't get the back of my hand.
If you're gonna do something, BE SMART.
Sometimes I'm gobsmacked at the incompetence I'm seem to find myself surrounded by.
Take your **** elsewhere.

Ohhhhh Yeaaahhhhh
I've just gotten in from the Jamaican Festival in Yoyogi-koen.
Man, no joke, I had a BLINDING time!!!
Firstly, I'd forgotten what it was like to be genuinely hit on so much. It doesn't happen a lot when you go out in Japan normally, but being a light skinned girl surrounded by black men....it's coming from every direction!
Free food, free drinks ALL DAY for me and my friends.....I just lapped it all up!!!!
It was just nice for ONCE to be appreciated for having curves, for not being a tiny, skinny Japanese girl and to be surrounded my men who understood what it was like to be a woman of colour in this country. I'm not going to lie, I was spolit ROTTEN and the best thing was seeing that extended to my friends - whether they were white, black or Japanese.
Ragga, dancehall, bashment, reggae - it was all there along with the jerk chicken, rice and beans, goat and pepper soup and festivals. I stuffed my face and drank until I got into a fabulously tipsy state. It was just the perfect way to spend my Sunday afternoon.
But I won't lie. The highlight? The MEN.
Gorgeous choclate and caramel species everywhere I looked...hell yeah, I'm going to take advantage of that!!!! I've always been a sucker for my light skinned island boys and to have so many in one place was heaven for me!!!!! The compliments flew from every direction and all it took was a sweet smile to get me and my friends (men and women) taken care of.
I also had such a fantastic time with the kids. Meeting so many half black, half Japanese children - my goodness, they were GORGEOUS!!!! I was absolutely fixated on this one girl who was just so stunning, I wanted to take her home with me!!!! She had a little attitude which killed me so many times, but especially when this guy went to touch may hair, she slapped his hand away and was like "DON'T touch her hair!". She was 9 years old. She even asked her parents if I could go home with her and they said yes! LOL!! She was so unbelievably precious, I just melted being around her.
I also got to catch up with my dear friends from Saitama and Kyoto which just made it all even better. It's funny because I just loved seeing Japanese people enjoy this music, this food, this culture, but at any other time, you would see them avoid black people like the plague! Weird, huh?
Blinding Sunday. I had the most amazing time.

It's Hiding!!
I had an awesome aqua class at the gym today.
I've been really good and managed to keep up with going once a week. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a good step for my lazy arse!
Actually, I'm starting to notice a bit of toning going on! Only a tiny bit mind you, but it made me smile . I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm just trying to get fit and fabulously toned.
I think it's something to do with turning 30 that has made me think about fitness and wellfare. Not dieting - I don't believe in diets and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to do one anyway, but I have been thinking about starting to work on mental fitness and spiritual wellbeing. It sounds great when I write it down, but whether I'll actually be able to do it is another thing.
I'm kinda thinking about going on a beginner's yoga retreat. I tried yoga once and was less than impressed, but given how hectic Tokyo life can be, I think it would be fantastic to have the ability to just empty your mind and just...relax! I wanna got o a retreat, just once, to see what it's like. Naturally it would have to be in Indonesia, or India or Nepal or somewhere like that. Financially, Indonesia is the best choice.
Just the idea makes me smile. Now I need to actually work on making it a reality! I swear, I've got so many plans for this year - it's hard to filter through which ones to do first!
I'm trying not to go too crazy this month with going out and stuff - it's resident tax month next month and I don't wann aget caught out - especially with my birthday celebrations going on.
Exciting times!
