Ok…. So a co-worker suggested that if I really want to go to Japan, then I should think about teaching there. At first I didn't take her seriously. But now, after really considering it, it doesn't seem like a bad idea. I was thinking of taking a teacher career when I was at Uni, but I didn't really get that far. Plus now as I don't have to worry tying myself down ready for my ex to move in with me. I've got the freedom to go there for a year.. maybe more if I find myself an Japanese hunk when I'm there >.>
anyway…
I looked into the qualifications that I would need, and all I need to get is a TEFL certification. I have already got a degree, so I don't have to worry about that. Although, the course prices aren't as cheap as I hoped, with the company I work for, they allow workers to get money for educational courses. So I'm going to enquire more at work and see what is really available for me. I might as well get some of the fees paid for me as its an experience of a life time. Plus I have a passionate (not really in the concept of having a fetish for Asian guys… but I guess that could be included) admiration for the country, and as I plan to go on holiday there next year, I might at well do something really worth while, right?!
I know that its a big thing to decide. But it will be something I will never forget! Plus if I do get accepted into a teaching position in Japan, then isn't one way to learn the language? At least then I will be surrounded my native speakers. So it will be easier to pick up the language. Now I know I won't be going this year, but I can at least take the teaching course and then try to apply ready for the new school year in.. April isn't it? At least then I can continue to work at the company I'm with right now, get my house ready for me to live in. So while I'm in Japan, I can possible let my house mate run the place, so if I come back for a holiday, at least then I will get to relax in my own house. Could even bring some friends back with me (this is just me thinking btw… that's if I get a job there…). Plus, it would be so cool to be called “Sensei” hehehe

Sooo.......
I seriously am wondering if I am going to get any where in life. First of all, things just don't seem to be brightening up. I'm still down as ever. I just think that there really is nothing in life that could possibly help cheer me up.
OK... so there might be one thing.. and that's if Haruma Miura suddenly replied to this message saying he is happy to show me around Japan when I go on holiday there. And that we could hang out and help each other learn the other's language. Then I would be very happy indeed! But I would seriously be surprised if that ever happened. Great if it did.... but still far off. Oh if you don't know who is... don't worry about. But if you do... He is cute right???? I mean he is an awesome actor.. he played Kazehaya VERY VERY VERY well!!!
But anyway....
Secondly, I've lost of track of what I really want to do. I know I really want to go to Japan. I really want to experience their culture for myself. Its all good and well seeing in Anime's, Manga's and Japanese Drama's. But Its just not the same. Now I know its going to be expensive. So I'm going to wait for next years bonus to help pay for the trip. I've even started to learn Japanese and I can pick up well on some phrases and some words. But I still need to improve before I can actually say that I can speak Japanese. However, I don't want to go on my own. I know at that a friend of mine is also learning Japanese in preparation for the trip also. But two gal's going on their own isn't right. So more gal's are needed to come along too :P
Also, I would prefer if we were able to meet up some people of Japan. Just to avoid getting lost and failure to remember the correct words to say and meeting someone who doesn't speak English. Now that could just be troublesome for everyone. Although the internet is everyone's friend if we do get lost :P
If you fancy coming to Japan with me, then please contact me (^_^)/

Ever Changing
So Its time for a change again. Now this site of mine has moved to a new host and finally being arranged in a more suitable fashion for a homepage/blog site. I think its some that show progression at least. It might not seem like much to other people but to, its something to call my own. Although it did take a while to finally get round to sorting it out the way I really wanted it. The current product is very satisfactory. Something that is simple and easy to navigate around. Hopefully without any confusing menu's or links.
I do think its about time to stop with the student attitude and mannerisms that I seem still to be holding onto. I don't know why but I'm still someone who spends most of their time asleep or drawing. I don't watch anime as much as I used to. But that is mostly because I've managed to catch up with the anime's I really want to watch and I'm always in constant search for new series. I do also go to work although I only work four days as week. So its hardly going to take up most of my time. But I would love to have more hour's. I just don't want to seem pushy so I'm going to patiently wait for my next review about my work hours and job prospects.
Why is it that as soon as January starts to change to February, that I suddenly think of new years resolutions? Its not really much of a new year if the first month is soon to pass. Its just going to be a new goal right? Well... I've decided that I not only need to start loosing weight and go back to wearing size 10 clothes (which still seem to fit me, which is a little strange....). I also need to really start thinking about waking up more at proper times. Waking at 12pm isn't really healthy. I have been going to sleep around 2am but waking up almost 10 hours later.... Surely must not be helping me either. Hopefully when I start being more active and really focusing on loosing weight at getting to 8.5 Stone or 9 Stone. Something that is more of a reasonable weight. But I really need to be focused on reaching the goal. I don't want my boyfriend to marry a fat, horrible little me.
