Notable Events For Me In 2013
So 2013 was not one of my better years, especially financially. It started off great then went downhill from there. 2012 on the other hand was one of my best years in Japan. I made a decision to go part-time and try to pick up as many part-time jobs as possible. I got enough to live ok but not ok enough to do whatever I felt like or go where ever I wanted to. I learnt from that mistake the hard way and will definitely go back full-time and do part-time gigs as well. Here are some of the notable events in my life throughout 2013:
January 6, 2013 - Came back from Jamaica.
March 4, 2013 - did my first ever Studio Recording.
April 24, 2013 - Found out my Credit Card was Hacked via Skype.
April 27, 2013 - Went to Jamaicans in Japan - Spring Ting 2013

Day 2126 ( The Hobbit - Desolation Of Smaug )
Monday, January 13, 2014
Had lunch and exchanged some teaching ideas with my friend today in KFC. I then ran to YMCA to teach a class. All these kids want to do is play. Japanese teacher teach, Foreign teacher play.....
I then watched The Hobbit - Desolation of Smaug.
Ohh jeez fantasy fantasy fantasy..... This made me want to re-watch Lord of the Rings..... All of them...I think I geeked out several times watching this. I never read the books but I loved the action and the story. I watched part 1 in 2012 and it was ok but this one was GREAT!!! I give it a 9/10.

I was late for work this morning :( Oh man this is a bad way to begin the year. Sorry school and sorry company. I need to go to bed earlier I know. Anyway, my usual Tuesdays, got home at 10:30.
For about 3 weeks now, my left eye has been twitching. I read about it online and basically it is caused by one or a combination of the following :
1) Stress
2) Bad diet
3) Straining eyes on computers !!!
4) Dry eyes from heater etc !!!
5) Needing glasses
I am not sure which is it or if it is all of them lol. I certainly don't feel stressed. Bad diet is a small possibility. Straining my eyes on the computer ... hmmm a very high possibility... Dry eyes from heaters and Japan's super dry winter .... also a huge possibility.
So because of this reallly annoying eye twitch, I bought an eye wash thing that should take care of the dryness issue. Plus give my eyes some more vitamins.
