Good morning, everybody. It has been a couple days since I last saw you and
It's been crazy
We've just been spending some time together
Messaging and calling people and just trying to relax and take it all in I guess.
The night it happened we basically couldn't sleep for half the night. We're up
Talking talking to people talking to each other
I had so many questions for him because I just, I think every girl's main questions when they get proposed to is like
When and how did this happen?
Like we all think we're really good at knowing everything that's going on and we're all super good investigators
and I don't know how this one like got past me because I didn't feel a thing and he's been planning it for months like
The ring was sitting in his backpack in my house and I had no idea and so I'm like when did you go and get?
It when like how did this happen without me knowing?
Where did you say you were when you were really getting the ring?
So yeah, just so many questions and then the day after he booked a spa day
so we just I've been like so emotional and excited and I just
I haven't I wasn't I didn't really sleep the night before but I was still so energetic
So we went to the gym and the pool and like then the spa it was a really nice relaxing day
I'm just bonding together. Yesterday too. We also did the pool in the gym and
Hung out walked around the city like old times. So it was really nice and
Today, I'm gonna be meeting up with friends
I'm gonna be meeting up with
Alexa and Venus and telling them Alex already knows because I wasn't sure if I was gonna get to meet her
She's always super busy with work here
But thankfully we can have lunch today and then I'm gonna meet Venus after but yeah
I think I just want to sit down and talk about a couple things cuz the main what I've been telling people
What happened like the past couple of days and their main questions are about the ring like Oh
How's the ring? Like how did you choose it and then also about the place? Like how did it happen? Why in Japan?
So I just want sit down and answer those questions because maybe you're thinking the same thing. So the ring
I don't know if I got a good shot of it in my previous video
but you can see
It's a Tiffany's
Classic cut the circle my god, I'm saying this the wrong
I don't know the proper term for the circle diamond and then just the simple
plain band with one
Diamonds on it. It's crazy
So why this one, he said he knew he wanted this right away he walked into Tiffany's
He said he didn't check out any stores. He didn't want to waste this time. He just walked in and chose it right away
He knew which one
Did I tell him what I wanted him to get? not really know so
When we lived in Japan fo a year ago, we were walking around in Shinjuku. We were in Takashi Maya like walking around and we
Saw a Tiffany's and we were like, oh, let's just go in for fun and check out the engagement rings
Just for fun. And so we went in and we were looking at them and the staff was really smart. They had me try on
The sizing rings and they wrote down what size I am and my boyfriend took it so he could remember it
So he he's known my size for awhile thats why it fits exactly like that.
Did I choose this exact one? No,
I guess he knew what I didn't like but there was a lot of rings I did like and
I kind of left it up to him
And I'm really really happy with this decision
It's definitely
More than I expected
Definitely classic, so I will never get sick of looking at it. I can't stop looking at it
All day is crazy
What else can I tell you yeah, he bought the ring I don't know
I still don't know the exact day, but he said he got it a while back. I I feel like you I
so yeah, that's not and why Japan? he said he was thinking of
Places to do it and he actually looked at South Africa because I've always wanted to go there and he knew that
and like a couple other places, but he decided on Japan because this is the one place that
It's the place we spent most of our relationship and the place that we grew the most both separately and together
We had a lot of tough times here because we were both kind of figuring out
ourselves and like
Starting sort of new careers and working towards something in a country that wasn't our own and that stress
stressful on our own on its own but then also dating a different culture and
trying dating a different culture is a bit difficult. It's exciting because
you are always discovering new things and learning about each other and
Maybe they do things a little bit differently than you would or have different customs
But at the same time there's a lot of adjustments that need to be made and I find
It takes time to learn what each other expected and it has a lot to do with communication because
You need to meet each other halfway, basically
You need to give and receive and like keep working at it
and I think one of the reasons why I knew he was the one I want to marry was through this whole Japan experience because
Like of course, there's certain qualities and characteristics you want to have in a husband
But all those aside because he has those
It's the it's the ability to really work hard and work as a team when a lot of people would have just given up
We we made it work
We really like there was a lot of time there was a few times when I thought it might not work out
it's easy to just like give up and
Accept our differences, but we really I don't know
We we really worked through it and for that I know no matter what happens
In in my life because I know that there will be more changes
He's the one person that is willing to fight for me so hard and work hard and just stay together as a team
And that's so so important
so that being said we went through a lot of that in Japan and we came out stronger than ever and
Japan will always have a special place in our heart and now even more because this is the place he got engaged
So it was just perfectly fitting
For it to the for it to hop in here
Yeah
It was all very exciting a part of me is like I don't want to wait and enjoy this moment
And not start planning anything or make anything stressful just be together and enjoy it and be happy
But the other part of me is like oh my god what dress am I going to wear. I was like already looking up bridesmaids dress
bridesmaids dress yes dress
Bridesmaids dresses yesterday I was laying there
I'm just like saving photos I liked and
Thinking about stuff. I can't help it. It's been a long time coming. I'm the last one of my sisters to get married and
a lot of my friends already married with kids
So I've been to a lot of weddings and I've been thinking about this day probably since I was I don't know, forever
Anyways, I'm gonna go and meet Alexa now for lunch we are just having vegan ramen at soda no ito
here in Tokyo Station, which is just a ten minute walk. So I'm gonna walk there catch up with her. She's been everywhere
Not everywhere, she's been she's living in Hawaii, but she spent a lot of time in
She she's living in Hawaii, but she spent a lot of time in LA recently and then here of course
So I'm excited to know what's going on in her life
I mean the thing I'm gonna miss the most is breakfast
I literally can't wait to sleep every night so that I can wake up and have this breakfast
I often don't eat breakfast, but now I'm waking up at like 8 am, and I was like yes
right away was that breakfast? It's so good.
This is my outfit today
You guys saw it in my previous vlog, but in case you haven't this t-shirt and this skirt are both from Zara
It is very light and comfy. It's hot in Tokyo now, so this material this linen material is perfect
Tokyo Station is probably the most confusing station in Tokyo
It's so big so I'm gonna leave like 15 minutes early so I can just find my way in there
You know what I consider myself the master of maps, but this was hard
Told you, it's so hard
Just like
This thing is broken so it doesn't
I was just at the train and I had to restart my phone cause it was acting really funny
so I restarted it and it restarted all my settings
I've got an airdrop from someone
with the japanese girl's porn
I wish I'd take a print screen to show everyone like my friend
but I was like, Oh, and denied it and they start looking around people
somebody intentions was like trying to airdrop
Japanese girls naked
That's how they do it?
My bluetooth was always off
But it's just because I restarted in it, oh
and somebody like took a chance
so gross, right?
Who did this? Show yourself
Oh my goodness, your engagement ring
You know, he couldn't go anymore humble
You know, I was actually going through my old books and stuff
And I found this one card that you wrote me, you probably don't remember anymore
Cause I forgot too, it was a little note that you wrote me when you were going through hard time with Tom, maybe 4 years ago
And we just got to know each other and stayed at my place. And it was you were it was your birthday
And you left, you left this notes saying
like how much you are like happy to meet me, although you went through a hard time with Tom
but thank you so much for taking care of Rosie and everything
I was like, so cute! Especially knowing you for so long, and now. And when you get through hard time with Tom, which every couple have
and now you guys getting married like
you were actually there at our worse
actually, I was talking to my camera this morning about it like how you know
You found the one like obviously you look for different qualities in a man and then you find them but I think the true thing
Is is if he's willing to work really hard with you as a team
Do you like it?
They are so well prepared, they have this
We're just sitting in Starbucks and chatting and Alexa is doing something really exciting right now
She's filming a documentary that's gonna air in Poland in October
Not sure the exact date yet, right, but I know a lot of you watched me from Poland or you speak polish in your living
so I am going to pass this to Alexa cause you may be interested in the documentary, its film here in Japan. So it's really exciting
In May, we recorded a TV program about my life here in Japan.
Taylor was supposed to be in it, but unfortunately she failed to come to this date.
But I invite you warmly to watch.
And ever ... when.
I do not know yet when the program will be broadcast, but I will let you know on your Instagram.
I was just walking home and I stumbled upon this fruit cafe
That has the cutest most delicious
Looking cake so I think I might grab one. I
Just grabbed it strawberry mango cake
And I'm heading back to the hotel. Venus is gonna meet me there actually for some hightea less is always good
Seeing Alexa was always good. She always has so much energy and she's so fun
And she's doing big things. I'm so proud of her. She wants to go back to LA and try it out again
she went there and now she's doing that documentary and I've been
Every time I see her I tell her to start youtubing and I think she's finally gonna do that very soon
So if she does I don't let you guys know
She's great. And I think she's gonna do really great things on YouTube too
She's just she's just so adventurous and has so much energy. She's like a little kid. I love her
I'm gonna catch up with Venus a bit first. She's going through
difficult time
poor thing she never caught a break so
There's some serious things that we need to do it. I guess you guys watch her will know what I'm talking about
so I'm gonna do that and I'm gonna tell her about the engagement a little later maybe because she has some things that are very
important to talk about and
Depending on how she's feeling. I'll ask if she wants to be on camera or not so I can get her reaction
but if not
then I'll see you guys after I meet her and if so then
you guys when I'm telling her at the news.
I have something to tell you
What is it?
oh my god! you are engaged?
My boyfriend proposed two nights ago
Oh my god
I am so happy for you.
I'm back in the hotel room now. Venus is so sweet, we've already started feasting but this is a red bean with mochi inside
and we've got these little Japanese sweets too and some chocolate.
It's actually our last night here
So we're trying to decide what we want to do for our last night. We're leaving super early like that 8 a.m. Tomorrow
Definitely gonna be an early night
but
I don't know I want to go out
at the same time I want to use the pool and the gym because
We've been using it every day and I just want to get full use of it coz this hotel is expensive
But so nice
So we just want to drink all the free drinks and eat all the free food and use all the amenities much as possible
Definitely going to take all those little things home
Look, what is this?
Mommy and daddy are engaged
