'First' PS Christmas for the Nakamura Twins

Season's Greetings! Sakura here!

This Christmas was my 'first' actual Christmas since I moved to Pet Society. For Past Christmases, I was either to busy to celebrate or traveling. This was not only special because its my first time celebrating Christmas in Pet Society, also Sake first one since he moved here as well! It was also the first time in years since I last spent Christmas with my brother.

I think I might have taken the decorating a tab bit too far though xD

I went North Pole on the front yard!

A 'little' Christmas Cheer to my Cafe!

what's this time of year without some winter wonder! 

I went Ice Skating one day and dragged Sake with me! Sake hates cold weather but he came with me anyway (I think its because he spends TOO much time out in the desert!) 

I LOVED this outfit!

Sake super bundled up! 

Here we are dressed as Santa's Elves! Super Cute! but Sake wasn't to thrilled but I somehow managed to get him to put it on and even got a pic!

One Last Holiday Outfit!

Hello Mrs Clause! ;P

Happy Holidays from the Nakamura Twins!

Christmas with Cutie

I received an invitation from my lovely Princess to spend Christmas with her.

When I arrived she seemed quite excited to see me, which made me blush a bit 

She offered me a drink and I toasted 

"Here's to the loveliest lady in town and her allowing me time in her gracious company! Merry Christmas my dearest and may we spend many many more together!"

We drank and laughed merrily at my corny toast!

I walked towards her beautifully decorated Christmas Trees admiring it for a particular reason. She followed me and snuck a kiss from her, which surprised her quite a bit. She giggled a bit after I'd had my fun.

I spent the remained of our time together chatting and laughing lost in our own little world as the snow softly fell outside. Both of completely oblivious to whatever was happening outside our conversation.

Time flew quickly before I realized how late it was. I wished my Princess Merry Christmas one last time, hugged her and said my goodbye . . . 

"until next time my dear."

The Poolside Date

For my second date with Cutie, I invited her to our indoor pool. I made a few minor alterations to the pool area 

I made us a light dinner and packed us a basket of goodies, I laid a blanket so we would have a picnic poolside. I poured out some chilled *juice* set it aside and awaited Cutie's arrival.

When Cutie came, looking oh so adorable, we had dinner and then talked for a bit.

I decided to go for a swim and asked Cutie if she wanted to join me. I received no verbal reply but merely a blush. I figured she was feeling a bit shy about getting in with me. So I jumped in hoping she'd  feel less uncomfortable and join me. "Come In!!" I called to her, when she didn't follow me, I got out and splashed her playfully, to break her shy mood. She giggled a bit and smiled her sweetest smile at me.

She soon decided to join me, we splashed around playfully and swam circles around each other. We settled in and talked for hours, it was if time stood silent just for us.

When we finally got out, we continued to talk as I took a seat, I had never felt as content as I did now. Cutie still speaking, I felt sleep taking me serenely away and I could not fight it, while Cutie looked to the starry sky, I drifted away. Before I got lost in my most peaceful, wonderful slumber I ever had, I heard Cutie whisper my name and kiss me goodnight, sleep to strong for me to bid her good night and just like that I was out like a light . . . Good Night lovely Princess . . . the words I wanted say . . .

Dinner with a Gorgeous Princess!

Before Cutie arrived I plated dinner, set the table, laid out our dessert and poured us something to drink

Cutie arriving at my home

After we greeted each other, I nearly tripped my self over my own feet (which I think I covered up fairly well if I do say so myself), we had dinner and enjoyed the view of the moonlit and starry sky 

Having Dinner

After having our meal, we spent the rest evening talking about anything that tickled our fancy, laughing at the silly, embarrassing things I did out of sheer nervousness  and enjoying each others company 

 I bid the beauty that made today the most memorable day of my lifetime adieu. I told her it was a great pleasure having her in my company and that I thoroughly looking forward to our next date . . . 

Date Planning MESS!

one day visiting Cutie

So I finally worked up the nerve to ask Cutie out for a dinner date! Here's the madness that ensued prior to me sending her the invite!

First I could not decide what to wear!

Trying Way TOO much!

Not trying ENOUGH!!! 

This just screams, Biker!

Too Casual

Way too casual!

After trying WAY too many clothes on I decided on this, metallic gray suit, dark button down, a super awesome tie and black sneaks! But wasn't to keen on hair! 

Looking Good! but not so sure about the hair!

Didn't have time for to it at that moment, had to stop by Princess Simona's house to wish her Happy Belated Birthday and then head to the DIY and Furniture to get stuff to set up the Balcony for the dinner!

After visiting Simona, I fixed my hair and I felt completely satisfied that I didn't look like a complete idiot!

When deciding on furniture, the table I picked out of the catalog was not longer is store and I thought Sakura had the chairs I needed, but my airhead sister only bought ONE of them! So time was short and I didn't like any of my alternative choices! But I was saved by two wonderful friends who were to send me the piece I required!

Thank you Pucca!

Thank you YuanYuan!

Thanks to them I was able to put this together  . . .

First Date Prelude . . .

Dear Princess Cutie,

I'd like to humbly request your lovely presence at my home at your earliest convenience for dinner. 

Please meet me in the first room of my house. 

I am happily looking forward to spending more time with you, my sweet princess and getting to know you much better, dearest. 

P.S. Please inform me prior to your arrival so that I may make sure my sister disappears for the evening. 

Yours Truly,

Sake Nakamura

Summer Vacay in Japan!

Hey, Sakura here!

I never got around to this but better late than never! Over the past summer vacation my brother and I stayed in Japan but unfortunately Papa was in the UK on museum business, something about a mummy missing! We spent a couple weeks there, we stayed in Papa's hometown, Nikkō located in the of the Tochigi Prefecture. Nikkō is a city surrounded by mountains, it is a popular tourist destination because of its many onsens! The city leads to the Nikkō National Park. There are many sacred temples and shrines located in and around the city. While in Japan, we stayed at Papa's Family Ryokan, currently run by our Obaachan.  

One of the first place we visited, was the shrine closest to the ryokan. I spent a lot of time here, while we lived here back in high school. It felt so good to be back home. We went to the shrine in the early in the afternoon. I enjoyed the feelings of comfort and nostalgia of being in place that brought me such peace. We prayed and enjoyed the serenity of the quiet shrine until we could hear early bustle of the Matsuri street festival that began in evening.

Sake managed to catch one after nearly endless attempts!
