I'm going to Japan!

Pretty polaroid from here

Remember how awhile ago I mentioned that I wanted to go to Japan as a Teaching English as a Foreign Language teacher? Well after six months, a bunch of study and an interview with the best (in my opinion) chain of English schools in Japan I received my letter of offer today!

They still have to wait to find out exactly where I'm going and when I'm starting but most of the contracts start around January. I'm so excited and totally freaking out, this is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me in my life. Who knows when I'll come back, there's so much of the world I am desperate to see after I have had enough of Japan, it could be years before I return! Don't worry though, I'll keep on blogging and taking polaroids while I'm at it :)

Wineries also help

Especially wineries with amazing food, pretty rivers and tables on a bridge. If I could go back here every time I had a problem with the universe I would be a very very happy person.

Fighting back with pretty power

Thanks for the messages on my last post, I hope you are all succeeding in fighting your own battles against the universe. As for me, I refuse to let the universe beat me down. Surrounding myself with pretty things is probably not the cheapest way to fight back, but it sure makes me feel good.

At least I tried

You know, I try to do good things and be a good person. I try to be kind and helpful as much as possible. Sometimes I'm not, sometimes I'm in a bad mood or someone will make me angry and I won't be as polite as I could be to them. But I would think and hope that for the most part the universe would see me as being a good person. Instead the universe has been giving me one slap in the face after another this year and I really have to ask, what did I do to deserve this? And I know bad things happen to good people all the time. But when it happens to you (over and over and over), you can't help but feel a tiny bit victimised. So for now at least, there will be no more post its, no more cookies, no more spreading the happiness until I've finished sulking in my corner.

Further evidence of awesome

Rockstar cookies for my rockstar co-workers who listen to me whinge all the time and say nice things to me. I got so flustered handing these out to people, it's funny how doing nice things can be embarrassing sometimes.. luckily the best response I got was from the person that I was most excited to give them to :)

Spreading the awesome

(the awesome store called, they're all out of you!)

I've been having a bit of fun at work and around town, if nothing else it never fails to make me smile.

I'm so web 2.0 right now

Considering how quiet it gets around here I decided I should probably tell you where I am most of the time. Because it's not like I'm out there having a life or something, no no I'm still on the internets, just other parts of it.
