schools done in two weeks and one day

Before the week gets incredibly busy, i thought that i would blog a little bit. This past weekend has been pretty eventful. On Friday I went and watched August Rush which i thought was an amazing movie. I really enjoyed it! I went on two dates on Saturday. One during the day, one during the night. The first date we went and grabbed some breakfast then went to the Utah vs. BYU game! It was definitely enjoyable! I haven't been to a football game in a long time and i forgot how exciting it can be, even when you're the only ute fan sitting amongst a crowd of cougar fans. Ha ha...sadly the Utes lost but it was such a good game.

Later that night on date number two, i went to Ernie's Deli (which i haven't been in a really long time) and every weekend i continue to realize that people are so incredibly rude. It's as if "customer service" or at least decent customer service doesn't exist anymore. But we ate and it was all right. Not as good as i remember it being. Hmm...after we went miniature golfing! Oh actually Kamai's car died when we were at Ernie's. Ha ha...i laughed 'cause he just got it worked on. Note too self: don't plug in as much stuff as possible, it drains your battery. It was pretty intense. I didn't do as well as I usually do, but i still had a good time. I just realized that a lot of heads in the collage above are cut off. Ha ha...after golfing we played in the arcade for a little bit. Arcades are the best. I thought about going to Vegas just to go to Circus Circus and play like we did when i was a child. Sometimes running around and doing things that embarrass everyone around you is rather entertaining. Good times. Our group was hilarious, it was Jared Aida and date Whitney, Chali Chang and date Matt (Kamai's roommate who is hilarious), Brother Isa and date Cheryl Yip, and myself with Kamai Chang (Chali's brother).

Here is a picture of Chali and I taking a ride in the little kid cars. We have so much fun! Chali and I are actually going to move out after the semester is over so I'm a bit closer to SLC. Rent is amazing! Plus Chali is the bomb kine. I'm excited but a little bit sad at the same time 'cause I enjoy living at home and being with the fam bam. It's bittersweet, but i won't be that far away so it's okay.
After that we went and watched Rattatouille. I think that it was a good movie, however i was pretty sleepy, so i can't really remember. But we had Hot Chocolate, mint kine, and just kicked it. It was relaxing. Chali spent the night at my house 'cause it was pretty late. Plus she ran a red light on the way home, so I didn't really think that it was the best thing to head all the way back up to Sandy...

Turkey Day...

Happy...wow that's a big olive...
I can't believe that Thanksgiving has already come. That means in less than a month...i'll be in Texas! Woot! Woot!


Turkey Day was a blast. It's definitely one of my favorite holidays. ;) I'm pretty sure that I ate ten different times yesterday...Mmmm...The family had so much fun and food. At noon, we just got together and ate with our immediate family and the Horiuchis and then later that night we got together with the cousins for some more grubbing and gingerbread house making! The Kamoe Ohana were quite the intense gingerbread house makers. This may or may not have been the final product...you'll have to ask Ashley.


Isa and I also played FIFA soccer for a little while. It was a lot of fun! We were pretty stinky at he beginning, but we got better. One day we'll have to show you our skillz.
Hiro and Rachel
Mama and Sophie
Kuni, Ollie, and Elle
This one is just for Rosie...it's Junior's little boy...Kinzo the III! He's so cute!

Hope y'all had a fabu Thanksgiving!

sometimes i feel like since i don't have kids i have nothing to blog about

Right now I am sitting in the corner of the Union building. I've finsihed all my homework...and have a little bit before class starts 'cause it's a late day...hmm...what to do? what to do? blog? Okay.

This past week has been interesting and busy as always. I'm really really starting to enjoy my classes a lot. I've always enjoyed them, however lately they have been really making me think, which I am super grateful for.

I've decided that i really like work. The people i work with are hilarious. And I also decided that the scheduling department is actually a Dating Service. "Thanks for calling apx alarm dating service, my name is Sachiyo, from what I understand we need to schedule an appointment for (insert name here) to take you on a date, is that correct?" Ha ha...I think in the past month there have been a few new couples starting to date. Everyone tells me I'm next...no thanks...I think that I will pass. If I for some strange reason, happen to accept, i'll let y'all know. Ha ha...

I can't even think of anything eventful that has happened in the past week or so. I've just been a little bit exhausted...actually incredibly exhausted. Oh but on Saturday Nani and I went to our first Asian ward activity! Ha ha...when we initially got there, Isa wasn't there and we felt really awkward, 'cause we're not actually in the asian ward. Luckily Amber pulled up and we walked up with her. It was a lot of fun! The weather was absolutely gorgeous! Jo, Amanda and baby Malakai were there! I believe that was actually Malakai's first asian ward activity as well. We definitely bonded. I'm pretty sure he was the life of the party. He definitely caught all of the girls' attention...and some of the boys...ha ha. He's so stinkin cute! Good work Jo and Amanda for adding another attractive baby to the family. I'll have to post pictures when I get some. I actually think he turns one month today...or maybe tomorrow...

Finally a Wedding!

Jared Kwong is officially married! Hoo-rah! It was fun to finally have another wedding and get to spend time with all of the family and friends. I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was distracted. But here are the pictures that I do have!
Jared and His Best Men...from left to right...Jeremy, Zach (who sings "one of these things is not like the other" from Sesame Street when his with all the cousins and family...ha ha), the Groom Jared, and brother Marcus.
Here is brother Isa vacuuming like a champion...by the way...usually when you're getting ready for special occassions, isn't it the girl that is usually waited on? I'm pretty sure it is, but not at the Takahashi house...I was waiting for Isa...we were a half hour late. But hey, at least he looked good.
Then of course, here is a video of Deina kine and Ashely...Even though I didn't get many pictures, I think the video makes up for it 'cause...well...I guess you'll have to see for yourself. Out of control...

yuds par-tay!

Happy Birthday Yuri-Bug!


Yuri turned 3 years old on Friday and we had a little get together. It was lots of fun! There was food, presents, a ballet shoe pinata...the works. I do believe it was a princess theme! Here are some pictures from the party!
Aunt Denise and Yuds
Birthday Girl and Crazy Driver Brayden
Opening Presents...look at all the pink...
The Brothers and Sophs (btw Sophie adores Uncle Isa...it's so cute!)
Ollie taking a swing at the pinata...he took the blind fold off...'cause he couldn't see...ha ha...
Oh also for y'alls enjoyment...I'm posting a video of Brayden driving Yuds around...

All Hallows Eve

Aaahhhhh!
Happy post Halloween! Yesterday was a pretty chill day. Unfortunately our friend Samson moved to California (the Mission Viejo area) this morning. I'm not going to lie I'm gonna miss the kid. So funny...ha ha...but Samson, we wish you well in all that you do! Good luck in Cali and Hawai'i!

After we went and visited Sam, Nani and I had an urge to dress up and go out n about...just for a little while though. Here is a picture of the mechanic buns and a spanish/latin princess maybe? I'm not quite sure what I was. I figured since people thought I was a latina, I'd be one. Ha ha...oh and I look really tall in this picture ya? I guess not everything is bigger in Texas. ;)
So went we to a dance for like 30 minutes, then came home! Surprisingly it was super fun! Ha ha...I've been so tired lately...all I want to do is sit, sleep, and eat. This weekend...that is part of my itinerary. Oh and btw...it's cute how Nani and I match...ha ha...we're cool like that.
Can't wait to see what the rest of y'all were for Halloween.
Oh and for the record...Jordan, Nani and I didn't steal the bowl with all the candy in it.
