You have a lovely way with words, must be the way you see the world.

Today we were given a break from the unmanageable heat here in Tokyo. Granted I wouldn't usually choose rain over sun but it sure was nice to step outside and not feel the urge to run back inside and sit with my A/C dreading the sweat that had already appeared on my skin. Although I did not know it was raining when I left the apartment so I stepped out side in my jean shorts and a t-shirt ready to fight the heat. It was quite a shock when I saw the rain pouring down. I didn't have time to change so I ran inside and grabbed my umbrella and had to leave. 

Luckily it is very obvious I am a foreigner so I can pull off wearing shorts in the rain without looking too stupid. I mean all I have to say is I'm from Canada and people understand. We live in igloos remember...

The shop channel finally called back after about a week so I went there to work again. I can't say I was excited but I was happy to be working and not going for castings. But when I got there I was quickly humbled by the hair and make-up people and the bright lights of the set. Kyla and the Japanese really do get along. Even if all we do is smile and nod for some reason they make me really happy. Well the people I work with anyway. The people on the streets try not to look at you and keep the themselves. As unwelcoming as it is, it's probably a good thing. 

My three hours there flew by and before I knew it I was back out in the rain finding my way home. For some strange reason today felt incredibly short. Maybe because I was finally doing something again, I'm not sure. But as I sit in bed writing this I feel like last night was a few hours ago. 

With that being said I don't think my sleeping patterns ever really adjusted here. Every night no matter how tired I am I toss and turn forever. Granted it takes me a very long time to get used to another bed. Doesn't matter how comfy or uncomfortable (which this one is..) a bed is, if I'm not used to it, I don't sleep. Plus 15 hour time difference doesn't help. But I always find myself still up at 2, 3 AM wondering why the heck I'm not asleep. And then my body wakes me up at 8 or 9 and wont let me go back to bed (and that's if I'm lucky). No matter how exhausted I am. It's the most frustrating thing. Luckily today my body was nice and let me sleep until 10 but still, usually if I was up until 3 you wouldn't see me until at least after noon. But I will admit I do enjoy waking up a bit earlier. By the time my room mates are up I have had breakfast, caught up with everyone, got ready and onto lunch. They really waste the day. I can't imagine how short their days feel! 

Well here I go to tackle myself to sleep again. Hopefully with more success...

Excuse me, Monday is how soon?!

This is my last weekend here before I go. The thought of leaving is still very surreal to me. I say it over and over, tell everyone but it still hasn't set in. Mainly because I don't know what to expect. What it looks like, where I'll be, nothing. Plus I keep having nightmares that my roommates hate me. I'm not too worried about that I'm sure they will be fine but the fear of the un-known will always get you.
I can hardly believe how amazing everyone is being about this. People I would never expect to be so sad I'm leaving are. People I know but maybe don't talk to much are being so supportive. It's almost overwhelming. But it's good because it reminds me how ambitious I am and that I want to make them proud. This is the opportunity of a life time. And I am going to live it up for all it's worth.
My friends and family, I love you, you are all amazing. We will survive two months apart. It sounds so long but it will fly bye.
I promise to keep a constant update on here for you all to hear of my adventures.
Without your support I could not do this. So thank-you.

I would especially like to thank my mother. She has spent so much money, time and stress into this. I know it will run smoothly thanks to her. You don't know how much it means to me.

One more day until that lovely 10 hour flight!

Where did ya go?

I have a friend. His name is Jacob. Some of you who may end up reading this might know him. And I can imagine in time he may read this too so Jacob..Hi.
Anyways We went on a field trip not too long ago. We talked non-stop and when it came time for him to go back to Duncan on the bus and for me to stay back alone I felt a way I never have before.
I was confident. I was secure. I was happy and proud of myself. I didn't care I was wondering around alone. I had no problems smiling at strangers.
It was a wonderful feeling.
And as I sit here on my bed now I wonder where that feeling went? I need to find a way to pull that out of myself when in Tokyo. Because that girl, that day. Would land every casting she went to. And this one, in sweat pants and a hoodie on her computer today would not.
No questions about it.
And I'm not sure if it's just because Jacob is a good friend, or if he just has that quality to bring that out in people but either way I need to find a way to bring a little Jacob with me.
Because I like that girl.
She will come in handy.

The Final Countdown.

24 days.
...24 days.
So, along with last week and a half of school, 4 exams, working and seeing everyone before I go I basically leave tomorrow.
I have travelled lots here and there. But nothing farther then Mexico or New York. Longest flight was about 7 on the way back from New York..
This one. 10 hours.
10.
Those three hours make a HUGE difference.
10.
And not only that but a 15 hour time difference which in other words at the moment I would be saying good-afternoon. Not being tucked in bed as I am right now.
But to be honest, none of that bothers me. Yes the plane ride will suck. But I don't even care it will be so worth it.
I just need to try and not expect anything and just see it when I get there. I always try and get mental images and Try and think of what it will be like.
I'm always wrong.
So I should stop and just let it come,
Because like I said, I leave tomorrow..

Hello Tokyo

The other day I received some amazing news. My agent called informing me I had been offered a contract over seas in Tokyo. I think at that very moment my stomach fell out my butt. I froze, about 100 things flew threw my mind and stopped on one. How long? I asked. 2 months she said. 2 months in Tokyo. I had to sit down and think, she was throwing information at me like a batting cage. I tried to keep up but I felt like my mind had shut down. Then the more we talked the more the excitement bulleted through me. I realized I will be modeling in Tokyo for a summer! How fantastic! So much to do and so little time!
Tokyo better be ready,
they are getting a piece of Ky.
