I’m sure that will make for an awesome festive season…
Santa… you know you got it coming….
errr what?
Office party was a blast - fancy dress, free drinks, venue in a converted church so was pretty stunning.

W…T…F….

… an instant defriend from my facebook are rape jokes.
But I appreciate knowing which one of my friends are assholes so that i can de-clutter my life.
I'm getting oddly drawn in...
… to the k-drama ‘Flames of Ambition’ a 50 episode behemoth of birth secrets and chaebol duplicity.
I was supposed to be watching ‘Secret Garden’ …
hmmmm.....
Well, I definitely think he is interested, which is a boost to my confidence. But the big no no no is that he is married with two kids. I had read before that Japanese men don’t think twice of having a mistress as well as a wife, though the book i read it in was about 20 years old so I wasn’t sure if that still held true. Maybe it does, maybe its just him, who knows.
For me, aside...
So I actually have a date....
… a Sunday morning coffee date, but it still counts!
I’m always at the same coffee shop every Sunday morning, watching a drama, writing to a friend in NYC and enjoying some peace and quiet. There are some other regulars, but I’m quite the earlybird so the one I see the most is a lady teaching English to a Japanese man. Last Sunday one of her new students showed up for a lesson...

The sad thing is, that if i was in a relationship with someone who is acting the way he does right now, he would be the first to say its not right and unhealthy.
I made a decision that I will not go down the old path of apologising so he can yell and feel better. Its not an easy decision - to overcome habitual patterns, but it has to be done or else I might as well give up altogether. I...

The BBC is doing a masterclass - battenburg cakes, tarte au Citron and brandy snaps + a foccaccia. I don’t normally watch food shows, but this one i do! 1 hour of total yum + some food history to stop me licking the screen.

– Kpop Reality Check: 25. What your Kpop idol sees VS What you see
Of course you can ask - I work in film post production - digital VFX. Rotoscoping and digital clean up which is removing wires, markers, rigging and set - anything that shouldn’t be there. ^__^

All I want are some good ol’ fruits, veggies, and water. Sounds...

Thank you for this valuable contribution to my life. I learn my students’ names because I would have to be willfully ignorant to avoid doing so. And because they appreciate it. And it makes them feel closer to and more comfortable with me. And whether or not I will ever be a real teacher, that means something to me.
Ask me anything
