The day Cupid shot his arrow and actually hit a target.

Fellas....good news! Well, not really for you fellas but good news for me. I finally found myself a date with a Japanese girl. Some of you may think that this is something not worth blogging about but please let me remind you that I am "the feared one" in campus. The one who will hit you just by looking at him in the eye.....

Okay..okay...let me lay out my story properly.

It all started last year when I just got here(Japan that is). Back in those days, I used to look forward to having meals in the cafeteria...you see, there's this quite cute girl (who doesn't act cute, plenty of girls acting cute and that's irritating) .....and the cafeteria happen to be my only chance where I get to see her. Sad to say but it was an awkward situation where she doesn't notice my existence and my Japanese at that time didn't give me too much confidence to actually approach her.

Anyway, I first got my chance of getting to know her last year when I joined the Tea Club (Yeah, I was desperate enough by boredom that I actually joined one....and I was aware that a guy joining a Tea Club makes him teasable) . My..my...guess who's there? The cute girl of course!! I didn't join the club because of her....pure coincidence...luck too.
So I got her name....but that's about it. Wouldn't even engage in a conversation I tried to start (I was after all...feared). And since i can't stand sitting with legs folded under (umm...a Japanese way of sitting on the floor, called seiza)...I quited the "Tea Club" and went back to being a normal rascal I am.

Months pass by.....nothing happen other than what you have already read in my blog.

I entered the 4th year...and new juniors came in. And sweet lord, holy crap, good gawd, I don't know if it's coincidence of just sheer good luck but that cute girl was assigned to be my juniors tutor. From there, I got a chance to get to know her better and also....to get her to actually speak to me

Okay....so during last week's International Club (It's some club where us foreign students get together with some other japanese and talk about stuff)...I asked her out for a date.

Dub..dub.....Dub...dub....DUB dub......conversation goes like this.

Me: So....you free this Friday??
Cute girl: Yea...why?
Me: How bout we go get some grub??
Cute girl: You mean.....the two of us?
Me: Yeah, don't plan on calling anyone else to join the party.....
Cute girl: *Face blushing* Err.....isn't merrier if we go in a bigger group? Don't you think??
Me: Yeah....I guess you're right....

And I left it that way....with her rejecting my offer for a date....sigh, how dissapointing....

But.....that ain't gonna be interesting if i just leave it like that right??

The very next day, I bought a cute piece of paper, not the ones that we write notes in but the ones with ridiculous shape and ridiculous background design with an even more ridiculous price tag. And I wrote the magic word.....

"I won't bite"

What?? don't believe me? THAT is the magic word.....I know it is cause she send me an e-mail asking when and where to meet!!

And uhh.....our date was great. Went to this restaurant......Had great food, chatted a great deal....managed to get her to get use to being with me (she was a lil' afraid of me before) and agreed to meet again next week. Oh yeah.....

As to not embarass myself too much "in case shit happens" think I'll stop now and will write more if the next one's a success....watch out, I might not be single for long...
