Is this the beginning of the end?

Salary payments for NOVA teachers usually fall on the 15th of each month, so far this month NOVA has been late to pay all of their teachers. They apologised for the late payment and inititally promised payment on the 19th of September, the 19th comes and still many teachers weren't paid. A fax was then sent out by the CEO saying that salary payments will come on the 21st. The 21st comes and still no payment. Another fax is sent out that gurantees payment on the 25th... and you know what? today is the 25th and NOVA have no yet paid some of their teachers. Empty promises mate. Apparently they promised salary payment to be tomorrow. Somehow i don't think it'll happen. Japanese staff are suppose to be getting paid on the 27th . I don't think they'll be getting paid either. Looks like me and mish will be out of a job soon, which means we'll be coming back really soon if the situation gets worst... NooOOoOOOoOOOooooo

Pink Bunnie going DOWN!!!

wadup ya'll.... it's been a while since we posted. Sorry ya'll... we've been kind of busy with a few teacher going back home recently and their goodbye parties etc. Also i haven't been able to find any energy to fund brain power since mish keeps eating all MY FOOD!! i stock up supplies for when im hungry late at night and can't be bothered going to 7/11 only to find everything has been eaten when i go to look for it!! and then to find the wrappers in the bin sneakly hidden at the bottom of the bag. i'm having to start hiding my food when i buy em now, MISH BUY YOUR OWN FOOD!!!

Anyways all hell is starting to break loose in Japan. I don't know if you've heard but the Age posted an article in the paper about NOVA's situation at the moment. For the last 3 months or so NOVA hasn't been paying their Japanese staff on time as well as the rent owed to the landlords. Many teachers have been kicked out of their NOVA apartments and many have jump boat since this month they haven't paid for the month of August. If NOVA goes down we'll be making an earlier trip home than planned. Every NOVA staff is shit worried at the moment, except MISH!

Teachers called in sick last week on strike due to this and what's MISH's reply? "lets call in sick tomorrow too and go shopping in Tokyo!" i have friends struggling to stay alive with no money for food and rent and all mish is worried about is shopping. geez typical. Her other response to this situation, "I hope NOVA closes, so then we can move to Tokyo then i can go shopping everyday and not work", what kinda gay ass spoilt brat response is that eh? Mish, never a worry in the world as usual. I hope they hold out for everybody's sake - students, teachers and staff. I hope my friends dont get kicked out of their apartment too! Where will they go? i will have to shelter them like refugees!

More breaking news. I went to lunch with some female teacher friends last week. It was so nice to be eating with civilized unbarberic people!! They ate slowly, chewed with their mouths closed, didn't have rice hanging in random places on their face like THEIR FOREHEAD! They ate just enough, didn't go for seconds and didn't even look twice at the dessert bar at the buffet restaurant trying to get their money's worth. I didn't understand this behavior. i haven't been in such a presence for some time now. It felt strange.

Hairstyle

Bob's and various versions of it are so in fashion here in Japan...everyone seems to be wearing one around here...if only i suited short hair i would so go for the chop...!! i think it looks so cool and cute~ Actually should i get one since i have a problem with split ends? but it really emphasizes ur eyes and i don't think i want my eyes to be anymore emphasized...they are strange enough...but if i was to get one, it'd prolly b similar to the 2nd pic but with straight messy hair and fully volumized....

O sashi buri desu ne
