I have been away from xanga for awhile - for that I apologize. I'm sure I have lost many readers, but I'm hoping there are still a few of you out there that believed I'd make a comeback. =) So here I am. I am now back in Tokyo - everything has been happening so fast. I don't even know if I should be here or not - life has been more stressful than I imagined, but I'm sure I can handle it. I made the choice to come back so I just have to deal with it.

Last night I had the opportunity to go watch a rugby game courtesy of my friend Ai's friend - Ai. =) She is dating one of the rugby players for the "Suntory" team from Tokyo. It was my first time ever watching a rugby game - I've never even seen it on tv! I have concluded that rugby is a mix of football, soccer, sumo, wrestling, & cheerleading. In some of these pics - you will see why.

:: before I went to meet Ai - I stopped by to get a cream puff - it was delicious! ::

:: Ai says this street is famous in Tokyo (for its trees) ::

:: I thought this was so funny - an area designated to SHAKE HANDS ::

:: Ai made the mistake of shaking hands with the other team! Whoops! ::

:: The cool thing about this Rugby game was - you could bring your own food inside ::

:: I didn't understand rugby in the beginning and I didn't understand it at the end - nevertheless it was fun to watch ::

:: like cheerleading ::

:: @ halftime (there was no show) but the mascot came out to throw t-shirts ::

:: like football ::

:: the guy in the pink is the ref (i love their outfits!) - poor guy got injured so the guy on the medical team was helping him ::

:: like sumo ::

:: in the end - they lost by 10 =( ::

:: all the players walked over to our side to wave and thank their fans - then they walked away with their heads hung low b/c they lost =( ::

:: Ai (her bf is the one that got us tickets - he is on the team - a pro rugby player!), Yukari, & Ai ::

I know I have been SO bad at posting on here ever since I started my beauty/fashion blog, but since this blog is more about my personal life - I should be better at it.

I am so behind on pictures - I don't even know where to start. So instead I'll post something random.

Last night I went to see Dark Knight (it was really good btw - and Heath Ledger did an EXCELLENT job as the Joker) with my bf, Neal. It's not often that we get a free moment to spend time with just us so even though we were more focused on the movie than on eachother (as how it should be), it was still good being able to spend time with him (and hundreds of others in the theatre).

He had to get there first to save seats. Even though the movie opened up a couple weeks ago, the lines are still long and tickets are still being sold out. I was running around doing some errands and had to stop by Target to get a few things so I picked up some Chex Mix (his favorite is the Chocolate Turtle one) - have you tried it? It's really good! While browsing around, I saw the Chex 100 Calorie bags in Chocolate Caramel - it sounded good so I bought some. Now I am HOOKED! I am going to stock up and bring them to Japan with me. hahaa

He got seats smack in the middle of the theatre and had to walk in front of at least 12 people to come out and give me my ticket.. then we had to cross those same people to get back to our seats. Needless to say, they were pretty ticked off since we were blocking their view for a split second, but we did try apologize and ducking the whole way. Anyway, it's ok b/c I had a bag full of goodies.. aka:

PS. HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY to my very special BDUBB. 08.08.08!!!! I miss you.
