SO EXCITED!!!!

In this pic is a few of my friends, and my sister (the cheeky blonde) just before going out to celebrate my birthday at the end of october. I had the best, and surprisingly most surreal birthday ever, and didn't sleep until at least 8:30am for an hour before heading out for french toast. After all, my ACTUAL birthday wasn't until then anyhow...

...Oh, the power of redbull, 5-hour energy drinks, and 5am cappuccinos.

ANYWAY, I'm getting distracted from my point! My sister Melanie did a lot for me for my birthday, and though plagued with exhaustion early in the evening, she went home, I was still so excited that we could spend my birthday together. Its becoming less and less often that I get to see my other half, and even birthdays are a hard bargain. Though Mel came and toughed it out with my birthday, I missed hers. Only two weeks after mine, I had already left my home town in Canada, flown back to my home in New York, Packed my bags and was in Tokyo putting on my yellow suede LouBoutins for castings before I could even blow a kiss goodbye. I missed Mel already! ... and miss her right now as I write this...

But the EXCITING part of all this is that SHE'S COMING TO TOKYO!!! I was able to book her a flight for the 14th of December, and we'll be on the flight back together. I'm SO excited.

If there's anything I've always wanted to be able to do, it's to share my experiences with travel with my fam'. Hopefully her first time in Tokyo is as amazing as it should be.

If she can get around her general disgust for raw fish, that'd be a good start ;)

Another leaf for my tree,
