Summer Vacay!

I'm free!!!

So summer vacation officially started last Friday, July 20th. It was the last day of school and the rest is history after that. However, the day didn't start off on the right foot, haha. I slept in for work for the first time ever. I always used to sleep in for school during elementary, middle, and high school. But I haven't slept in for work yet. I usually get to work around 8am. But on Friday, I woke up at 9:36am....haha....and nobody called me to see where I was! Shows how much they actually care about me! j/k.....That day I didn't have any classes so I didn't miss anything. I was a few minutes late to the closing ceremony and then everything was fine after that.

But the day ended and then it was time for the weekend. My friend, Makoto, got married on Saturday, the 21st! He had the wedding at the Tokyo Bay Hilton Hotel, a very nice hotel right next to the Tokyo Disneyland Resort and Theme Park. It was pretty fancy to say the least. So my friend, David and I headed up to Chiba to spend the night and to relax for one last night with Makoto. We were also going to perform the ukulele as a special performance at the wedding so we practiced that a little bit. After chilling, we headed to the wedding on Saturday! It was very beautiful and even though it was cloudy/rainy, it was perfect weather. Recently, it had been hot....like 30-35 degrees C, but that particular day it was around 24 C. Perfect!!!

So we had the wedding and then later that evening, David and I went out for a little after party. Our friend, Will also met us out. We decided we wanted to stay out all night and so we went to a club nearby called Ageha. The biggest club in Japan! It was an alright night and we headed back early in the morning to get some rest in the hotel after being out all night! Heading back to the Hilton was a great way to get some rest after a long night out. One of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in!

The breakfast buffet was also absolutely amazing. Anyway, I got some rest and then I was able to get some amazing breakfast! Afterward, we headed back to Chiba to hang out and eat some lunch. For awhile now, I have been thinking about and preparing to propose to my gf....I know! Such a sudden mention considering I hadn't talked much about it. But I had been talking about it with my parents and sisters since the beginning of June. The last few weekends, I had gone to some stores and went window shopping. Last week, I stepped in to Tiffany's and found some really nice rings for very reasonable prices. I know, Tiffany's! But they actually have some lower priced, high quality items! I was very pleased. So I had the lady order in some rings for me to take a closer look at and they came in on Sunday. So David and Will came with me to give me their opinion and helped me solidify my decision! I am all set with a new engagement ring! I don't think my gf knows about this blog, so I hope she won't find out from this....haha. That would ruin the whole surprise.

But anyway, we hung out and then now I am back and relaxing for a great summer ahead. Cheers!
