Collab with Dragonfly! ^^

Hello my dear readers!^^

I finally finished my part of the collaboration with Dragonfly!
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dragonfly/163280720475481?fref=ts

We planned to do something like that a very LONG time ago XD I'm happy I could finally finish my part of this collab! ^w^
She did the outlines and I colored her pretty picture afterwards *_*

It was a lot of fun, but I had some problems with choosing the right colors. I regret making those hair blue, because it somewhat collides with the color of the sea in the background XD'
Well, I should start planning more.. if I choose colors just by my feelings it always gets somewhat chaotic XD

p.s.: merry christmaaas! ^-^

Disneyland! ^w^

Hello my dear readers!

Thought I could post about our trip to Disneyland this week as well, I don't want to procastinated this one as long as the Kyoto-post XD

Sooo, this week Ina and me skipped classes and went to Disneyland XD We wanted to go SO badly because right before Christmas the decoration there is damn pretty! Was a good Idea to do so, it was really a very nice day ^-^
So, what's the first thing we did? Right. Buying hilaryous, cute hats XD I went for the Leopard-one and Ina choose a red one ^-^

The weather was great this time :3 I also tryed to take some fotos inside of the attractions but my mobile phone was unable to cope anything since it was to dark ;O; There was a ride with Nightmare before Christmas theme! It was so pretty but my pictures all turned out very blurry ;___; Such a shame!

Well, have more pictures of me and my hat + of our shadows XD
At the beginning the park wasn't that crowded but as it became noon there where a lot of people gathering in front of every attraction so we had to wait very long to get inside -_- It's always the same with Disneyland XD You pay tons of money to get inside, just to spend more money inside of the park and wait your ass off to get inside of the rides XD
Well, it was fun though and the Christmas illumination was really pretty!

Have a nice weekend! ^-^

Kyoto!

Hello my dear readers!

Today I gave myself a day off *w* Was laying in bed until now, watching Japanese TV Shows and reading *W* Such a nice Saturday Morning! It's raining a lot today, so in my eyes I'm using this day just perfectly XD

I finally found some time to edit the foto's I took in Kyoto 2 weeks ago!
I made so many, it's crazy XD Gonna show you a few now ;3

So, let's start! Ina and me decided to go to Kyoto some months ago, because a friend of us is Studying at Kyoto University at the Moment and it was our Chance to stay at his home for a few days without paying anything! Win for having cool friends that let you sleep on their couch XD
As we started our sightseeing tour on the first day the weather was quite bad, but we had lot's of fun though! Sometimes the sun came out, but most of the fotos I took are looking rather as if the world would be ending soon XD'

We went to see a few shrines, then we strolled through gion, where a lot of traditional buildings and cute alleys are lokated! I highly recommend to take those small sideways if you visit gion! They are much more beautiful than the main road where most of the tourists are!
Take a look at this cute curtain and the carefully arranged potted plants! I just LOVE those things. And Kyoto is full of such cute gimmicks!

After Gion we decided to go for the Kiyomizu-dera. To get there you can go by buss, but we decided to go by foot. It was a bit hard because you have to climb a mountain and there are so many tourists everywhere, but it's a quite pretty way with lot's of old buildings on both sides of the streets.

I really love Kyoto and to be honest I would give a lot to go there again (and maybe stay even longer)! Up until now it was my favorite trip and I spend a very good time there! The city is so beautiful, old and new buildings are mixing together and it just has this unique flair that I never experienced in any other city I visited before. The shops and stores there are also totally amazing! They have a huge shopping district and a lot of small, very nice cafe's where you can eat tons of delicious food.
I highly reccomend to visit Kyoto if you are planning to go to Japan! ^w^

Post Blue

Hello Hello my dear readers!
Thx so much for over 70 followers!

Today I'll throw in a very quick update. Since it was Rui's Birthday yesterday and the picture was part of her present I can upload the final result now! (highly inspired by higuchi yuuko which I just LOVE at the Moment ( https://www.facebook.com/burnetmoth ))

kyuhuhu, maybe I'll draw more of these guys. Was lots of fun! Ahhh I finally want to post about my trip to Kyoto but I don't have time at the moment ;O; Hopefully I can write that post soon.

Well, have a nice Week! ^-^

Nikko

Hello my dear readers!

So, today it's Saturday and I'm staying at home because I ate something wrong and feel really bad since 3 days XD' But it's getting better slowly so it should be ok soon.
It's getting really cold at Tsukuba lately and everyone is cuddling up in some warm coats and scarfs!
A group of other international students went to Nikko last Wednesday and I joined them, since Nikko is famous for it's pretty shrines and beautifull nature.
It was such a nice trip! Have a few pictures!

Even the train ride was pretty X3 The landscape was so nice and the weather was sunny and great too!

As we arrived at Nikko I was so happy to see that there where still leaves on the trees! I thought they would be gone by now since a friend told me so, but they where still there, red and shiny and pretty *_*!

The shrines and buildings where just great! If you ever get to visit Japan and stay nearby Tokyo you should visit this place! I took so many pictures, it's crazy LOL.

The roof of this shrine was the prettyest thing I've seen since a long time *_* It looked so stunning! The only negative point about this trip: it was SO FREAKING COLD XD'
At some point I hadn't any feelings inside my hands and feet XD' But if you ignore the temperature or go in summer I think Nikko is a great place to go! ^^

As we where done visiting the shrines we went inside of a random restaurant and oh my gosh, it was so cool! Look at those walls! They where full of little notes, pictures and letters of all the visitors that came there before us! Our group also made some notes after finishing dinner and we all sticked them onto the wall! Mine is the one with the little cat (foto on the right), I wrote it on some business card from the bank in my hometown XD


well well, on monday university starts again and tomorrow I'll attend the nightmare concert I talked about in my last entry. Today I'll stay home and cure my stomach I think ;O; I'll never eat anything anymore which is not totally fresh and OK to eat XD' I swear XD'

Have a nice weekend! ^-^

Random Post about random stuff XD

Hello my dear readers!

It's been some time, isn't it? XD Had my first exam period at Tsukuba University the last days and was mostly busy with learning and getting stuff into my head. I also caught a cold again and wasn't in the mood for blogging at all.
Now exams are over and I have 1 week of autumn holidays *_* A whole week! Nyahaha. Planning on doing a lot of stuff, e.g. traveling to Niko and visiting Disneyland with Ina on Thursday ^-^ I'm SO looking forward to it! Moreover there will be a concert this weekend which I will visit with Ina too^^
It's a Nightmare-concert... I don't even like them a lot but Ina asked me to go together and since I didn't visit a single concert here since Rui left (shame on me, but it's just no fun if you go alone ;O;!), I just said yes.

The last few days I spend at home, relaxing and bring my live back to normal again. Exam-time is always pretty disgusting I think. My live goes not in a straight line if I'm all about learning and cramming and I HATE it XD' But well, that's what you have to do if you are a Student!
I think the exams went quite well so it's ok.

Yesterday I went to a big shoppingmall nearby to get some things there *hoho*
Have a few pics!

1. Cute Sentimental Circus Elephant, I was sneaking around this one since 3 months and finally decided to buy it yesterday XD' I couldn't resist any longer, no matter how useless stuffed animals are, they look so cute xDD!

2. Apples *_* I normally can't eat them since I've got an allergy against many fruits, but I found out that if I peel them and heat them up in a frypan I can eat them without any problems! Lucky me! I added a lot of cinnamon and it tasted SO good!

As I went to the bookstore I found the new Pixiv Girls Collection Artbook! I was so so happy! Waited for this one to be issued since ages XD! I really love all the Pixiv-Artbooks, they are great, no exceptions! In this Issue Wicked Alucard was featured too *_*! I really adore his Pictures and was happy to see his Pics there :3

Last but not least I got this new Agenda! I really needed one since I had so many to-do Lists and Planners laying around, it wasn't funny anymore XD' I think I'm a bit crazy if it's about organizing everything, I let go of this habit the last weeks and my live became so chaotic! I really need lists and plans to accomplish everything I want to do! 

This Agenda is perfect for all the thing's I need to write down, since there is a monthly overview at the beginning and it also has very big daily collumns *+* It also has space for a small sketchbook at the front :3! Just perfect, I'm much more organized now! ^-^ I also got this cute Totoro stamp to mark days where I achieved all the thing's I had to do + my daily goals :3 It's for motivation and works quite well *hehe*

Another random thing (sry, this post isn't organized at all LOL), I was watching TV the other day when I saw a show where Taylor Swift did a performance. I didn't know her that much before since for me she was always kind of the female Justin Bieber and I don't like such kind of...hyped...Idols? XD' 

But OMG she looked so pretty at her appearence at the show and her Music also catched me somewhat! She is so beautiful! O_O' I was stunned, and stared at the screen like crazy. XD Isn't she just adorable?  Her style is great! 

Ok, enough of this random stuff, have some drawings from the last weeks at the end of this post XD I'm sorry, next time I will write a more structured post again XDD

Random pictures and doodles

Hello my dear readers!

There's not so much going on here right now so have a few shots of my last days here ^-^

from left upper corner to lower right corner:

1. It's getting colder here! Took this one on a windy autumn day last week^^
2. yesterday I went to tokyo to meet Soan (pic 3!), we went to sweets paradise in Harajuku and had some delicous cake!
4. new poncho-alike sweater from uniklo. I like that store *+*!
5. get's *+* I ordered the book (the black one) a few weeks ago to get me into drawing again! Worked quite well, I'm happy I bought it. The Name is "Mut zum Skizzenbuch", it's German only I think ^^' Very nice one! Moreover I got this cute shirt by mail from Mysano a few days ago *_* I love Tototro, so it was the ultimative gift XD I didn't expect to get a present from her so I was very happy and surprised as it arrived *w*! The tissues where a gift from Soans Friends yesterday XD So nice! In Japan they have no "real" and strong ones; it's great that I got them XD! Moreover I bought those cute stickers yesterday at tokyo <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">6. New knit I bought at forever 21 *_* so comfy!

Last 2 ugly pictures (sry, I couldn't take better ones, it's already to dark in my room but I will have no time to blog tomorrow)

I doodle a lot recently, it's more stressless than trying to draw something "big".
Have a nice week!

Bittersweet

Hello my dear readers!

I didn't post for a long time, which is mainly because there where no special events recently / if there where some I forgot to take good pictures, so I'm very sorry!
Today I had one of those days when I just wan't to stay at home and see no one / have no lectures but I had a few, so no way out, I had to go.
It's strange I still have a lot of trouble with getting used to living here, it really depends on my mood and on the day if I feel fine or horrible. It's crazy, you never know how you will feel tomorrow and if you will be totally lucky to be abroad or if you will feel homesick, tired and not motivated to do anything at all. I think it's normal since I never experienced something like this study-abroad thing before, but it's scary and sometimes hard to get into a good mood again.

Well, enough of that. At least I can show you my new baby *_*! It's a Fujifilm polaroid camera and I'm totally in love with it :3! It's so easy to take cute pictures with this one, really amazing!

I made a lot pictures with Izumi, Aika and Ina as we went to karaoke last week ^-^ It was so much fun ;O; I'm sad, because Izumi moved to Paris now to study there and I won't be able to see her for a long time ;__;

I really love this girl, she is so much fun and incredibly cute ^-^! Well, I'm going for a long and intensive run now I guess, got to push my mood up and running always helps (as well as food does... I HATE IT XD' Food is my enemy here XD') Have a last picture I took a few weeks ago! You can see Mount Tsukuba (The mountain we climbed a few weeks ago) at the horizon *_*!

See you! ^-^

Tsukuba University Festival

Hello my dear readers!

As I told you in my last post this weekend was awsome and I wanted to make a seperate post about it, since it was really great *+*
I'm still kind of stunned, but let's begin!
This weekend our University held a big festival all over the campus. There where so many attractions and cool things, I don't know where to start XD Well, have some pictures of saturday first!

1. outfit of the day, 2. big painting in front of the art-building, 3. stage in front of matsumi ike

I dressed up in the morning and went to the campus with Sarah, Leni, Ana and May then. We explored everything first and I was really amazed by all the things that where organized by the students and clubs of our university.
There where a lot of snack bars where you could buy any kind of Japanese food and also a lot of foreign food. Moreover a lot of people dressed up in Yukata and animal costumes *w* I didn't make to many fotos that day since the weather was quite bad and I wasn't in the mood for it, I'm sorry but believe me, it was great. There where also 2 stages on which different Bands and Dancers showed their skills.
In the evening we went to a big Hanabi (Japanese Firework) in a nearby city.

F-f-f-f-fiiiireworks *+*!

It was SO beautiful, just stunning! I also made a video but I made a mistake and now I can't upload it =_= I'm sorry! Maybe I add it later if possible...

We returned in the evening and I just fell to sleep, I was very tired after all that action XD

The next day I met Sarah and we went to the festival again, this time with Sao who is learning german and accompanied us the whole day. 

1.outfit for the second day, 2. Sao, Leni, me, Sarah and Saos Friend in our bulletproof wests and with BIG guns XD

We went to the hounted house that day, which was also organized by students for the festival. It was SO cool and really freaked me out, I dindn't scream so loud since ages XD

The Club which organized this event was really skillfull and build a horror house inside of a class room. But not just that, they made a storyline around it as well, telling us we are a special unit which has to go inside of a laboratory where some people mutated to zombies and need to find some things and return then XD They even gave us big plastic weapons and bulletproof wests and then we went inside XD There where people dressed up as zombies and we had a time limit to find the things inside of the room (which was VERY big and dark, I couldn't see anything at all XD) while they where scaring us to death XD SO SO much fun! 

We did a good job though, getting the second best score that day and even won some prizes *w*!

Afterwards we accompanied Sao to the Art and Design - building where Students held a big exhibition. It was amazing. There are so many damn talanted painters and designers at this Universtiy! Sarah and I even thought about taking art classes next semester, I'm looking so much forward to this!

1. gaybar-poster (yes, they even had a gay-bar organized on campus XDD), 2. classroom inside of the art-building

Afterwards we watched a big dancing-show at the main stage on the campus. It was crazy. Even more damn talented people, dancing like crazy, looking totally amazing while doing what they love.

I think it's really great that there are so many clubs and circels at Japanese Universitys where everyone can work on their talents and become really good. It showed up so much in this festival that everyone here is really into something and has an interest or hobby which he or she really loves!

Quick sketch!

Hello my dear readers!

Just a quick update, this weekend was quite great and I will post about it later ^^ Have a sketch first! :3

can you guess who they are? *tehe*

Climbing Mount Tsukuba!

Hello my dear readers!


I'm slightly behind with blogging, got to much work at the moment ^^'
This weekend Me and a few friends climbed Mount Tsukuba which is located nearby the City of Tsukuba :3 It was such a nice trip, even if the weather wasn't the best.
We started early in the morning and climbed until noon ^^!

1. Starting point: the bus station in front of our dorm XD 2. Mount Tsukuba with big big clouds above XD

The way up was really pretty but hard! There where no fences securing the way and we had to climb up really steep cliffs. I think it was even a bit dangerous but we managed to survive XD' I felt a bit random with my handbag, the others had backpacks which where way more comfortable but I didn't know that the way up would be this difficult >_< All the other climbers where even more advanced and had those climbing sticks and more equipment XD'

lost in the woods XD

Nature was sooo pretty though! I want to climb up there again, carrying a real camera and not just my phone cam XD'

Well, it was a lot of fun :3 It was also a nice workout! I want to do more sports since I think I gained some Kilo the last weeks. Japanese food is to yummy and supermarkets are a big tension for me. Moreover I'm to lazy to prepare healthy food every day =_=' I need to chaaaange this ;O;!
Well, got to go to university now and fix my bike before XD' It was smashed down by a Taifun last weekend and the front weel is somewhat broken =_='
Have a nice week XD!

Time management

Hello my dear readers!

Ahhh it's so hard at the Moment, there is so much work piling up, especially homework and other stuff for university but I started to fight my procastination-habits and worked a lot this weekend to get my shit done and to reorganize my freetime!
I found also some time to draw *w*

nhh didn't I forget something? (asking myself this question all the time XD')

I know the left arm is so wrong XD But I have no time to fix it now, so please just ignore it's abnormal length XD' will go on with doing homework now! Have a nice week ^-^!

Hajime!

Hello my dear readers!

Today is the 17th of September which is an national holiday here in Japan! It's the day of the Respect for the aged and everyone is having a free day because of that ^.^ Well, almost everyone, there are several shops opened but the University is closed today and I took advantage of this and went to Tokyo yesterday to go Party with Ina at Shibuya!

with pretty Ina *+* I LOVE her hair! She looks like a princess *w*

I wasn't able to go Party at all since I am here, because at Tsukuba there are almost no clubs etc. where you can go, so this was a very nice chance to have some fun ^-^
Ina and I started with a little bit of shopping at Ikebukuro and also had dinner there *+* It was so yummy!

We ate this at some hawaii inspired restaurant xD The waitress was welcoming the guests with a happy "Aloha!" and the food was so pretty and tasted so good! I was especially happy because this plate contained a lot of vegetables which I do not eat here a lot since it's so pricy ><  (I have to change this though since my eating-habits at the moment are not very healthy and I will become fat if I do not change something about it XD''' Unhealthy food at Japan is a really big temptation I guess, everything tastes so good and I could just eat all day without doing anything else XD')
Moreover there where some mashed potatoes below the meat and OMG I didn't notice how much I miss mashed potatoes here in Japan until I ate some yestderday evening *+* SO YUMMY XD!

Ah, we also made Puris, so have a look at our Outfits for that day ^^

Afterwards we went clubbing and Karaoke and had a lot of fun ^-^ It's so nice to have Ina nearby at Tokyo *w*°!
Last but not least here are some pics I took with Instagram the last weeks ^-^ Some of you may already know them but I thought about uploading them here too!

1. heavy summer rain in front of my window *w*

2. waiting for my bus to arrive.

3. cute little insect *_* (Those are really big and scary if they are flying around, but if you take a close look they are so pretty I think ^-^!)

4. self-picture XD'

5. one of the kittys that are running around in our area. They are so nice and cute, always trying to get some cuddling and nice words ^^

6. Sunset + pretty blossoms at a tree nearby our dorm 

Have a nice week! ^-^

New Campus *+*

Hello my dear readers!

Today I had a day off and explored my campus ^-^ I really love it *_* Tsukuba University has such an beautifull surrounding! I could drive around with my bike for years and I wouldn't get bored ^-^
Let me show you what I mean ;3

parking area for bicycles nearby the bulding where I have most of my classes + my daily way to university ^^

more campus-landscape and buildings ^-^

another park on campus, another big lake (*W*) and dormitorys along my way home ^.^

I really love this campus. It's so pretty and there is so much nature. I wish my campus in germany would be that pretty! Moreover the students are all gathering and living at the campus here, which means the campus is like a big community and there are always other students on the streets! It's very peacefull ^w^ ! As I got to know that I will be studying at Tsukuba and not Tokyo I was a bit disappointed first, but now I think it's totally ok and I'm very happy to be here! :3

I'm baaack!

Hello my dear readers!

Ahh, it's so late at the moment and I'm damn tired but I procastinated way to long and have to make this post now XD
I went to Tsukuba last week where I will pass the next year und study from now on! The journey was quite exhausting since I had to bring my heavy luggage from tokyo here all by myself (1 huge Backpack, 1 enormous carpetbag and another smaller trolly). It was so hot that day, I thought I would just pass out at some point but somehow I made it and people from my new University where very kind and helped me SO much at the beginning of my stay here. They helped me to manage all the difficult things like getting a new handy kontrakt, opening a bank account and to get all the other papers for University together. It was a lot of work and I'm so thankfull that they where there and supported us so well! I had no time to post, so I'm very sorry for the short hiatus.
My dorm here is quite ok, it's a bit old but somewhat cute, have some pics!

1. decorated corner (everything else looks still somewhat chaotic, therefore no pics XD'), 2. my Bathroom, 3. my bike XD

First thing I HAD to buy here was my bycicle. It's impossible to live here without having that, since the campus is quite big and there are no busses (well, there is one but it doesn't stop everywhere).
Everyone is driving by bike over here and the environment is very pretty (I will do a post about this later!).
I was lucky with my dorm as I heard, there are much smaller and unconfortable rooms. I buyed a lot of decoration stuff at the 100 yen shops nearby and I think it's cute now, still have to buy some furniture though. It's easy to make your room pretty here though, there are very cute and cheap products almost everywhere, the only REALLY expensive thing is food I guess, saw a bunch of grapes yesterday which where about 9 euro, which is just CRAZY XD'

The last days I had to take a placement test in Japanese too, it was quite difficult and I will get the result on friday, I hope it's not too bad >o<!
Moreover I already have to visit courses now, everything goes a bit faster here then elsewhere since the University of Tsukuba has a trimester system which means there are more exams too (LOL... not good XD' We even have midterms which are due in about a few weeks already XDD'' crazycrazy!)

The last two days I spend my time with those 2 cute girls in the middle:

1. it's so hot at the moment!, 2. Ina and Susan ^.^, 3. Okonomiyaki 

Ina and Susan! Ina is going to study in Tokyo from now on and I'm very very happy about that since I like her a lot! Susan is in Japan just until Friday, therefore I just had to see them again ;O;
It was so much fun with them! ^-^ Yesterday we explored Tsukuba's Shopping Malls together and today I went to Tokyo and we went shopping a bit and had some Okonomiyaki ^^
I already miss them but I guess the next days will be quite stressfull again, so no time to be sad!

Back to the roots

Hello my dear readers!

Today I want to post about something that was on my mind for a long time now. This post is about art/ artworks!

I was in a deep art-slump the last months and I had no fun when I was drawing at all. It was like I had just to look at my pencils and I would imediately feel discouraged.
It was not much of a difference before though, somehow I had no fun by making art the last years.
Ever since I lost my Interest in "The Gazette" I was like empty and had no Ideas, no inspiration. Back then, as I still liked them I always had Ideas and wanted to do Fanarts. It was like my head was full of them and I just had to bring them to paper. It was easy. After I lost my Interest in them my creativity was turned down, as if a fountain would just stop floating. Moreover I was somehow more eager to please my watchers, to gain new ones, to be even somewhat recognized for my art. I think that was the worst. I always compared myself to other artists, thought about how to become better, how to create things that would please everyone and I just lost all my motivation and all the fun I had when I drew something.
I even thought my art would be some kind of worthless since no one commented and stuff. I know now how stupid and distructive this kind of acting is. It takes away all your creativity. I mean, it's not a bad thing to look at other peoples art, but you should enjoy it and not turn yourself down because you compare it to your own art which is not "as good as this picture" and stuff. Well, that's easyer said then done though.
I also made the mistake to think it would become better if I force myself to draw more and train more, but this made it even worse. I admire artists that are constantly working on themselves, train a lot and which are drawing like 6 sketchbook pages a day, but that is just not me. Maybe I'm lazy, but that's ok I think. I want drawing to be fun again. I want it to be something I enjoy and not something I feel I have to do and which I have to become better all the time with.

I decided to start over. I don't want to care about anything and anyone when I draw. I don't want to please anyone. I'm sorry if this is kind of rude but I will from now on try to please myself and only myself with the stuff I draw. I want to be comfortable with what I'm doing. And I want to enjoy it again. I think the stuff I will draw may change from now on. I tryed to draw more girly stuff the last months, because I wanted to develope skills in this part of drawing, but it's no fun at all.
So, let's get back to VK, right? Let's get back to the roots and have some fun again ;3

Tsuzuku-Mejibray

Asakusa

Hello my dear readers!

Yesterday I went to Asakusa which is located nearby our hotel. I had to walk about 1 hour, then I reached the center of Asakusa. There are many cute shops and a few Shrines, as well as Buddha Statues and a small Park. It's a very crowded but peacefull place! There are always a lot of tourists around, taking pictures of the pretty environment.


It was very hot again that day and I walked very slow, the whole trip took me about 4 hours ^^

On my way to the Shrine I discovered the neighbourhood of our hotel. There are many stores and shops around which I didn't know till now, I was especially amazed by a small Fish store! They where selling Gold Fishes and Kois, JUST those! I was so happy to discover this shop, even if I didn't buy anything (of course XD', I have no place to keep a fish XD'). But I LOVE Goldfishes and those cuties made my day XD (Photo below).

It's also normal in Japan to keep Fishes in front of your house in small fish tanks or plant pots!
I found the fish tank (second picture) in front of a hairdresser XD How cute is this?!
I was so flashed that I even thought about keeping Gold Fishes again if I will be back in germany!
(I had a fish tank with Gold fishes for years but stopped somewhen because it's quite expensive >_< (especially the electricity you have to run 24 hours a day ;_;)
Ahh... why so cute...

Brünõ

Hello my dear readers!

I went to Ikebukuro this Morning to meet my friend Izumi, who helped me with getting a mobile phone-contract. Well... I still have to decide which contract I will take but we searched for it the whole day and OMG it's expensive to have a good phone with Internet Access here in Japan!
I wasn't able to use my own phone which I brought from Germany because it would get really expensive to get a contract on this one, so it seems I have to buy a Japanese one.
So much trouble.

I was very thankfull that Izumi went with me and helped me out, the store-clerks talked to fast, it was crazy XD' And if you ever tryed to get a phone contract in your own country you may know how difficult such stuff can be XD' There are so many offers and exceptions and things you have to concider before buying, that it would be trouble for me, even if I would sign the contract in Germany I think XD'

Well. Now I'm back and I drew something to relax. May I introduce Brünõ to you? I bought him together with Rui in Ueno and I LOVE him *+* He is perfect XD! So cuddly and his depressed look inspired me to draw him XD

sketches: 1. normal Brünõ, 2. charai Brünõ , 3. ame no Brünõ (charai means something like "easy, cheeky, playboyish", ame means "rain")

He is an "Craftholic" Plushie, the Brand is quite cute! *W*

Tokyo #5

Hello my dear readers!

Ahh, I'm sad ;__; Rui left this Morning and I immediately felt kind of lost XD' Like...she was always the one who had the masterplan XD' Like, she knew where to go, which train to take, what to do XD' I'm very bad at such things. REALLY bad. I got lost a few hours after she left xD But I managed to return to the hotel all by myself XD'' Ahh... I hope it will be ok somehow without her ;O; I miss her so much, our hotel-room is so empty without her -_-
Ok... enough of that whining.
Let me tell you about yesterday and today!

Rui and I used our last day the best way we could do I guess. We managed to get so many things done, it was crazy xD We went to Roppongi, Akihabara AND Ueno in one day XD' Don't know how we managed to get so much done, we even left our hotel quite late XD
First we went to Roppongi. It's a pretty place with lots of high buildings! Verry modern and quite elegant I think.

It was so hot yesterday, we look kind of tired in this picture xD I especially like the flair Roppongi has. It's a place to relax but quite busy at the same time. Definitely worth a visit if you plan to go to Tokyo!
After we visited the Roppongi Hills we went on to go to the Tokyo Tower!

Since I'm afraid of heights this is definetly not my favorite Place in Tokyo, no matter how many cool pictures you can take there XD' I always thought about the big earthquake last year and what it would be like to be in such a high place if something like that occurs. Horrible thoughts! >_<' The view is quite nice though. It seems as if the buildings and houses would just never end, they stretch across the horizon, it's amazing!

Today I had to say Goodbye to Rui as I told you before. it was very sad and we both started crying and everyone was staring at us but who cares ;O;! I hated to say goodbye to her since it's for one whole year but yeah... -_- Had no choice at all since I want to study here.

Ah last but not least, today I went to ueno. Since I was alone it was not so much fun, it was also very hot and they are having a lot of construction areas at Ueno Koen atm. I wanted to take a walk in the park but it was not so nice -_- Afterwards I went on to a big lake nearby Ueno Station. It was quite nice there and I chilled down a bit after saying goodbye to Rui.

Tokyo #4

Hello my dear readers!

Ahhh there was so much going on the last days *+* Rui and I went to different places and did some shopping and enjoyed our time in tokyo together. We also ate a lot! XD We where very economical if it was about food till now, but the last days we allowed ourselfes some nice meals ^-^ (Warning, a big amount of pictures will follow XD)

First one was yesterday when we went to Harajuku to "Sweets Paradise"! It's an all you can eat Restaurant where they have mainly cake and...cake... and pasta XD It was great and very delicious XD
Have a look at our meal and our finished plates afterwards XD

The cake was so so good! But after two plates of it we where extremly full and ate mainly pasta till our time was up and we had to leave (you have to pay about 15 Euro and are allowed to eat one hour afterwards which is really enough time, since you won't be able to eat so much cake I guess XD').
I love this place XD Want to go back again and eat more cake *+*!

Today we went to Ikebukuro!

It's a very lively district and there are shops and casinos/amusement arcades everywhere! I like this place since it's full of different people and you can see a lot of different things ^.^
Rui wanted to have some Pizza for lunch and there was this cute Restaurant called Shakey's where you can eat as much Pizza and Pasta as you want for just 8,50 Euro which is quite a good deal.
We had a lot of food again XD It was yummy, there was even some desert-pizza which was coated with pudding and chocolate sauce ^w^!

This time our plate-stack was a bit smaller since we used the same plates a few times xD We ate a lot though and fully enjoyed it!

Afterwards we went to "Sunshine City", a BIG department store which was like a REAL city, I mean, it was like ENORMOUS! It tunnels a big part of Ikebukuro and you can walk through the shops for  hours! We also went to "Book off" where you can buy really cheap used books, and to Junkudo (a big bookstore) and I got a few books for studying more Japanese *+*

I bought two books for the JLPT-Test I want to attend soon! I also got a child book with easy Japanese language to train my reading skills and bought the 16th volume of my favorite Manga Bakuman in Japanese! It's not sold in Germany till now and I'm so happy that I can read on in Japanese! Even though this will be kind of hard, since there are many terms and words I don't know XD But I want to try and read it ^-^!

Last but not least a picture of todays look:

The charm I'm wearing in the right picture was a good-bye-present of my Parents :3 I love it, and the clock I found at Harajuku is matching it perfectly I think :3
