I still can't believe it....

Really. I just can't. We got tickets for the Music Bank Kpop Festival in Paris in February! I'll see 2pm, SHINee, Beast and so on live on stage. Oh yeah :)

My friends and me are planing to stay in Paris a little longer to do some sightseeing and visit Disneyland.Luckily the semester at our Uni ends on the 2nd of February, and we can enjoy a little vacation right after we've finished our exams. I just can't wait!!

But right now, the semester has just started. After that disastrous last semester, I didn't choose a lot of classes and so my stresslevel is not that high yet. Let's see how everything is going in about a month. 

I've been meeting up with friends a lot in the past week... and I could show you some really funny (and embarrassing) photos. But I'm not doing it.

Hope I'll be back with a proper post soon :) 

Actually this post should be special because it's post number 300 on this blog, but since I'm a lazy b*tch and Uni starts tomorrow I'll make it really random instead.

Hello there, it's been some days since my last post. And to be honest, I should not be blogging right now but reviewing Japanese like a maniac. But I'm too lazy, and even if I started now, I don't really think it'd make a difference. So... yes :D

I'm back to Hamburg since last Tuesday, and I spent the last days catching up with my friends from University.  I really missed those adorable dorks.

Yesterday we watched the 6 hour "Pride and Prejudice" BBC Series. I hadn't seen it before and I LOVED it. Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy is just....the he always stares at Lizzy..and... I shouldn't even start about that :D




Hm...so what else is there to talk about. I finally watched Ponyo this morning. At the beginning I was really creeped out by Ponyo but ..yeah it was cute. (Of course it's cute, it's Ghibli xD)

I have something to confess. I bought the Garnier BB Cream. I've wanted to BB Cream for quite some time now, because many of my Asia-loving friends told me that it's awesome and kind of made me believe it would cause a Sailor Moon-like transformation xD. I'm not going to do review here, because I would be stupid with no BB-experience to refer to.  It smells kind of nice, the texture is okay, too.... haha omg I'd make a horrible Beauty-Blogger :D However, I didn't think there was THAT much of a difference. My skin is not that bad to beginn with and the cream made it look nicer, but it still didn't look as flawless as Jaejoong's (or any other  K-Popstar). Why Jaejoong? Because the BB Cream scene with Jaejoon in Protect the Boss was kind of burned into my brain. "I only wear BB Cream on special occasions". Anybody seen it? x)

In February there's going to be a Music Bank K-Pop Festival in Paris (2pm, SHINee, Beast and more are coming...ftw). I'm sooooo going to try to get tickets! I could live with not getting tickets for SM Town live in Paris, but 2pm brings this event to a whole different level. I really hope I can go u.u

A nice place for growing up + recent gets

Yesterday my best friend from Japan left and of course... I cried at the Airport. I'm so baaad with Goodbyes, even though I should be kind of used to them by now.
However, we had a lot of fun in those five days.  Even though we hadn't seen each other in 1 1/2 years...things between us haven't changed. We went sightseeing in the region around my hometown and it opened my eyes a bit. This area is more beautiful than I could see, or more than I wanted to see and coming back here in my holidays always puts my soul at ease (sounds cheesy... I know xD). Or as my friend said: "This seems like a really good place for growing up, but you can definitly not stay here". My friend took around 500 photos (of basically everything...and she paparazzied me all the time xD) but she isn't really in for sharing pictures on the internet, so I wan't upload any!

Instead I got inspired to do my first "recent gets"-post by hyacinth dream :) I always enjoy this kind of posts from the people I follow on blogger, but I never did one myself, so here we gooooo! (sorry for the blurry pictures.... it's getting obvious that my digicam is almost 5 years old and has traveled all around the world)

 

I got another Kapibara-san plushy <3...

.....and funky flavoured  Kit Kat from my friend as a gift

I asked her to get me some books to study for the JLPT. I'll finally take level N4 in December. Some say it's to easyto even take it, but I want to take it easy this semester, so I'm following a teachers recommendation and start with N4.

super cute strawberry cookies. my friend bought those for my parents. Why are Japanese things always so cute?!?! I can't even... xD

I think it's the first time I buy clothes for fall on time... usually I start buying t-shirts in September, but this time I actually bought cardigans. sorry for the horrible picture. I got the striped one in Vancouver (it's cashmere baby) and the leo-print one at "Review" (I think it's the flashiest item I own xD).

art post cards by a canadian first nation artist I got in tofino and stationary stuff I got a super cute store on Granville Island (Vancouver)

close up because it's just tooo beautiful

Wah I miss my friend so much already. It was such a good thing to see her again. I hope I can visit her in Japan soon. She taught me to sing the Japanese Sailor Moon Opening song (xD) and it's stuck in my head now xD Aaaaand.... this girl has such a power to motivate me! Even though the last semester was horrible and I'll take it easy this semester, I'm finally looking forward to the things that are coming instead of being afraid and stressed. Ganbareee JLPT, ganbareeee Nihongo, ganbareeeee Muk, ganbareeee weight loss, ganbareeee writing, ganbareeeeee and so on.... (romance?! xD)

Going to meet Alex and Mio in Frankfurt on Sunday...can't wait <3

Please press play before you start reading xD

I'm back to my home town now and ... I'm completely hyper. I just finished my last assignement (a super annoying project report about female communication on facebook) for the last semester and I'm finally FREE now. FREE. FREE. For 1 1/2 months. Oh yeah baby.
I can't believe I made it through this semester alive and well. There haven't been many things in my life that I really took pride in. My parents always tell me that they're really proud of me, and that I've reached a lot of things for a 21 year old person. I never really thought like that. But today, I'm kinda proud of myself. I feel like... well....the song describes my mood pretty well.xD

HUH! You didn't think I was alive, did ya?! ...well...me neither.

or: How I turned into a Fembot 
or: Don't stop, can't stop

Actually I didn't think I'd ever start blogging again. Of course I've had phases when i thought about giving up blogging before just because I thoughtI was wastin my energy because no one ever read this blog anyways. This time was a little different. The whole story began, when the last semester started. I took a lot of courses and started a part time job in order to save up money to go Japan. The first few weeks it all worked out quite well. I was busy, but busy in a okay-kinda way. A that time the only reason I didn't blog was because I didn't have a lot of time and didn't feel like it. But things changed. Around the middle of the semester I really went into a deep crisis. I felt like breaking down from stress everyday, day by day it became harder for me to deal with people (i just wanted to be on my own), i couldn't sleep at all and i felt like crying all the time. I woke up in the mornings and went to university, then i studied, then i worked, then I went to bed and fell asleep after 3 or 4 hours. Everyday the same. I turned into a robot...well a depressed robot that is. I even vanished almost completly from all social network sites, which is really abnormal for me. Turned out my thyroid gland (or the 3% that are left of it) decided to give me a hard time again. It really turned into a freak show. I think I hurt and worried a lot of people, and I'm really sorry for that. I found it quite scary myself.  Thanks to my parents I somehow managed to cope with the stress, the insomnia and finish the semester (even with very good grades - woot). The semester has been over for a few weeks now, but I kind of needed some time to recharge. I basially did nothing but watching movies and dramas, listening to music and reading books. I'm still not perfectly okay (propbably the hormones are still a little..not the optimum xD), sometimes I still feel horrible and most nights I can't go to sleep easily.  But I'm starting to feel alive again. I feel like going out, talking to people and well.... i feel like blogging. Because even though it's a waste of time: I love it. So here I am.


Some news about my life for you:

• A cat that doesn't really belong to us but has been eating at our house in my hometown had babies. In our basement. THEY ARE FRIGGIN ADORABLE. 

super cute little grey cat and horrible bare-faced me xD

Uschi (the creepy stalker cat) and her babiiies ^^

my favourite <3

• I'm going to Canada in September with my family. wooooot.
• My best friend from Japan is visiting me in the end of September. Oh yeah :D
• I FINALLY bought white dr. martens and white monster beats hd solo. thank you, part time job! xD

that's it for today! 

One last try

So I decided to give blogging one last try... even though i lost my confidence.
But some people encouraged me not to stop and I've always love it so.....here I am again.
First I thought about creating a tumblr but then I realized that I'd probably loose myself in all the reblogging and become addicted to it...in a bad way.

Right now I'm in my hometown because I'm (theoretically) on a break from university. But I still have to write a report so I'm busy nontheless
Yeah. I survived the first semester. Which is a miracle with that crazy subject combination of mine xD. And even with good results.
I have to finish my last report until Monday, so after that be prepared for a lot of posts :)

And now...complety out of context.... pictures of Junho that I found today and that I LOVE. ^^

Junho with flowers and strange sneakers (awesome)

Junho in a sailor shirt (awesome)

double Junho!

Junho with a cat (more than awesome)

Naokos Lächeln

Wundervolles Buch.

Ich fühl mich, als wär ich von all den Charakteren ein bisschen was: ein Stück Midori, ein Stück Watanabe, ein bisschen Naoko und sogar ein bissche Nagasawa. Immer wieder gab es Abschnitte, mit denen ich mich so perfekt identifizieren konnte.

Haruki Murakami hat sich mal wieder als einer meiner Lieblingsautoren bestätigt. 




2 exams down, 2 1/2 to go. ganbare~

My internet speed was restricted, so I can't watch the new episodes of Dream High :( I want more Taec and Wooyoung in school uniforms :(

Off to Uni now.....

Völlig sinnlose und unzusammenhängende Handybilder der letzten 1 1/2 - 2 Monate

Ja, ich lebe.

Ich weiß ich hab lang nicht gebloggt, aber ich denke ich habe mich in vorhergehenden Posts schon genug über den Stress an der Uni ausgelassen und bin somit entschuldigt :D

So. Weil ich zu faul bin zusammenzufassen was in der letzten Zeit passiert ist: seltsame Fotos in schlecht Quali (wer liebt sowas nicht?! ^^)

Discokugelherde! An der Decke des "Hörsaals" auf Sankt Pauli ^^

angestrackte Japos auf einer Rolltreppe

Halloweenabend. Die Telefonzelle wollte wohl jemanden nichts süßes geben und hat deswegen saures gekriegt.


Daifuku FTW!


Mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit das süßeste Tattoo aller Zeiten.


Demo gegen Studiengebühren und Kürzungspolitik des Senats. Kein Wunder, dass ichs ein bisschen kalt fand. Abends erfuhr ich, dass an dem Tag viele Schulen wegen Kälte geschlossen blieben. xD

Erste Uniwoche

Uah sorry an alle, die mir im Laufe der letzten Woche geschrieben haben, ich weiß ich hab die letzte Woche nicht wirklich ausführlich auf Nachrichten geantwortet.
Ich berichte euch jetzt mal ein bisschen, wie meine erste Woche so war.

Ich bin seit letzten Samstag nun also in Hamburg. Ich kam ziemlich gestresst an, weil die Autofahrt ewig ging und wir hier dann erstmal ewig putzen mussten. Jetzt ist wenigstens das Bad einigermaßen in Ordnung, die Gemeinschaftsraum ist leider immernoch ziemlich vollgemüllt.
Abends war ich dann mit meiner Mutter noch n bisschen in der Innenstadt und mein Stress war schon wieder so gut wie weg, Hamburg is einfach so ne schöne Stadt. Sonntags morgens waren wir dann noch in Hagenbecks Tierpark. Das war echt schön ^^

Am Montag gings dann los...und als allererstes wurden wir mal vom Fachschaftsrat verarscht :D Nett. Danach gings dann mit Infos und Spielen und Frühstück weiter. Man muss ich echt sagen der MuK Fachschaftsrat hat sich die ganze Woche richtig Mühe gegeben und nen richtig guten Job gemacht. Sie haben uns echt gut informiert und man hatte die Gelegenheit alle schon ein bisschen kennen zu lernen.

Dienstag waren die ganzen MuK Erstis in "The Social Network". Der Film war ziemlich gut, nur am Schluss hat er sich meiner Meinung nach ein bisschen gezogen. Auf dem Weg ins Kino wurde meine Fahrkarte auf ziemlich gruselige Art und Weise kontrolliert. Ich setz mich im Bus hin und auf einmal dreht sich der Typ vor mir (natürlich in Zivil) um, hält mir seinen Dienstausweis entgegen und bittet mich meine Fahrkarte vorzuzeigen. Sowas bin ich als Kleinstadtkind nich gewohnt. (In Tokyo gibts nicht so wirklich Fahrkartenkontrollen...die haben nämlich ein kluges System :D)

Am Mittwoch hatte ich meine Japanologieeinführung und Abends waren wir bei Marcus Lanz im Studio. Es ging um die Integrationsdebatte (wie im moment eigentlich überall). War aber ganz interessant und ich hab ein paar "Promis" gesehen ^^. Hat mich jemand zufällig im Publikum gesehn? :D

Übrigens....Budi von Game One (MTV) studiert mit uns, aber MuK im Nebenfach ^^

Gestern Abend war dann der Abschluss der Erstiwoche. Erst haben wir noch n bisschen bei der Uni spaßige Spiele gespielt, unsere Kurzfilme angeschaut und später gings dann auf den Kiez. ^^ War gut.

Und heute abend, heute abend wird gechillt. Die Woche war echt gut...aber auch super anstrengend.

Meat balls, a new mobile and the student dorm

First thing: I decided to write some of my posts in English and some in German. I really get the feeling I'm slowly forgetting my English. I hope nobody minds...

On Thursday my new mobile finally arrived! Yay! The Motorola Flipout is PERFECT for a social network addict like me. Thanks to the feature "Motoblur" I get all messages from Twitter and Facebook as well as my e-mails and of course my SMS directly to my display. And as a bonus it looks quite cute. I really la-la-like it :) Unfortunatly the camera isn't that good...but nevermind, I got a digicam for pics with higher quality.

Friday I drove to Hamburg together with my mum to move my stuff into the student dorm. The student dorm is located in a really nice area and my room, even though on the fith floor, is quite nice. But you know life wouldn't be life if everything went smoothly. A nice and cheap room in a nice area...and a nice apartment?! No. The apartment is defintly not that nice. Some people who moved out some weeks a go left a lot of waste, basically destroyed one of the bathrooms and stuff like that. I hope the caretaker will take care of those problems ASAP =/
I already met two of my new flat mates and they seem to be really nice. Of course they are annoyed by the current condition of the apartment as well. It seems like there's a Korean girl living in the apartment, too. I haven't even met her but it makes me kinda happy :D

On Saturday I took a look at my University and I got sooooo excited. In a week I'll finally be a University student and live in Hamburg and meet a lot of new people. Hehe I'm not sure if I was more nervous when I left for Japan!

Saturday evening me Ka and me watched "Cloudy with a chance of meat balls". We wanted to watch it for quite some time and yesterday we finally did. And it was really worth it. The movie was lively, crazy, super creative and really funny. I really recommend it even though it's not really famous. At least not here :)

Omg a friend just sent me a message that SHINees Minho got a nose job?? Is that true?!?!? xD I'm so shocked right now. Honestly.

Das Chaos kommt!

Am Freitag zieh ich nach Hamburg. Also jedenfalls bring ich meinen ganzen Kram hin.
Ich hab mein zu Hause schon mehrere Male verlassen, aber einmal (als es nach Japan ging), durfte ich nur 20kg mitnehmen, und das andere Mal (Praktikum in Offenburg) war ich nur zwei Monate weg und brauchte gar nicht soviel Zeug.
Diesmal ist das anders. Diesmal zieh ich so richtig und entgültig von zu Hause aus. Erstmal für drei Jahre nach Hamburg und dann wohin auch immer mich das Leben treibt.
Ich hab mal angefangen mein Zeug hinzurichten. Und das Chaos ist jetzt schon groß.

Am 11. Oktober fängts dann langsam aber sicher an mit Uni. woot woot. Wird auch Zeit. Ich hab zwar n bisschen Bammel auf hauptsächlich freu ich mich eigentlich, dass mal wieder n bissel Bewegung in mein Leben kommt :) Und ich freu mich neue Leute kennen zu lernen.

Komm mal auf dein Leben klar!

Oder: Eine Antwort auf die Frage "Sag mal was hast du eigentlich getrieben?" in Postform.

Ende Juli ging mein Praktikum zu Ende und seit dem residiere ich wieder dauerhaft in Hockenheim. Das Praktikum war zwar echt interessant, aber ich muss sagen ich bin echt froh wieder zu Hause zu sein. Die letzten Tage in Offenburg waren hauptsächlich durch Internetentzug und Wut auf einen meiner Mitbewohner geprägt. Ich werde dazu nicht mehr sagen, als dass ich als ich das letzte Mal sonntags nach Offenburg zurückkam einen Schreianfall in der Küche bekam und mich am nächsten Morgen gezwungen sah, meine Zahnpasta zu verstecken. Beides war gerechtfertigt. Glaubt mir.

Zurück im schönen Hockenheim.... versank ich erstmal im Extreme-Nichts-tun (was für mich eigentlich eher untypisch ist). Fast zwei Wochen blieb ich den großteil des Tages zu Hause, vegetierte vor mich hin, bemitleidete mich selbst nicht mehr in Japan zu sein, entwickelte eine ungesunde Obesession für Shinee (als Kpop Opfer muss man Lucifer aber auch einfach lieben...das Konzept ist schenial!...oke ich fühl mich trotzdem wie ne Pedonoona) und Kpop Macros und war schlicht und ergreifend eine faule Sau.

Natürlich war ich nicht die GANZE Zeit zu Hause. Ich hab unter anderem mit Mio zusammen Alex in der Nähe von Frankfurt besucht. Man kann wirklich sagen, wir haben unsere Zeit Japan ein bisschen wiederbelebt: Wir haben uns vollgefressen (sogar mit richtig leckeren Ramen), abgespastet und uns in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln daneben benommen xD.

In meiner faulen Phase trafen nach und nach meine Unizulassungen ein. Hihi ich muss jetzt mal ein bisschen angeben, dass ich nur Zusagen bekommen hab. Die Zusage von meiner Wunschuni Hamburg kam als letztes... und sobald ich fertig damit war quietschend durchs Haus zu rennen traf mich die Erkenntnis, dass es Zeit war, auf mein Leben klar zu kommen und mal wieder ein bisschen was Sinnvolles zu tun, bzw. mein Einsiedlerleben aufzugeben :D Es bringt nichts Erinnerungen an Japan nachzutrauern, wenn im Hier uns Jetzt so spannende und wichtige Sachen passieren.

Meine wichtigste und sinnvollste Beschäftigung im Moment ist die Suche nach einer Wohnung/ einem Zimmer in Hamburg. Aber ich fand es war auch Zeit meinen Blog mal wieder zu beleben.

Was mit diesem Post wohl getan wäre.

Auf Bald.
