23番♫♬ Days off before new year

Heyhey, what's up?
Sooo as you all know recently most of the people have winter holidays - yes me to!
Though I had to work until 28th finally I am off of work as well! *happy*
 Tomorrow Bambi is coming back to my place and we might go to a concert! Thus to be honest I lost my happiness when going on concerts some time ago. Maybe because there are many people and the air is not too good and I feel dizzy? Well, I don't know. We will decide wether we go or not tomorrow I guess ^^

As for the next days, we are planning to go to Nagano! Our group (without cute lisa though T_T) will be together again after roughly 4 month! I am really looking forward to that! Thus I have to admit that I am scared as well. But this doesn't belong here -
anyways, I hope I can enjoy Nagano a lot and will have lots of fun - that would be nice!
Also I wanted to visit my hostfamily these days but somehow ...
 I really should take some time to visit them again soon.... but somehow it just never was right and thus ... haaa..anyways.

Today I went to the gym for the very first time here! haha I am still not really good and after doing 30 minutes of routine I eventuelly felt even worse xD But well, I guess I need to do more sports regulary if I ever want to feel better so this is what I decided to do next year. Sports, eating healthy and not caring what people say.
Because actually a lot of people tend to talk about my eating habits. I am eating too less, too much, not healthy enough, I should enjoy eating, I shouldn't take care what I am eating, I am crazy doing it like that, my diet sucks - all kinds of things. But I decided that I won't care anymore. I don't need to excuse myself for the things I am doing ;) THough actually - as I am in JAPAN - I need to excuse myself :D But I don't want to do that anymore, so I will stop hahah :D
Let's see wether this works out in japan's society or not ;)

As for the next year there are some more things I want to archieve.
There are quite a few places I want to go to and also I want to do some things I have never done before.
Also I will probably be visited by family members as well so I am really looking forward to that!!!


OK That's it for today :D Talk to you maybe tomorrow or in the new year!
If I can't write before anymore:


HAVE A GREAT START INTO THE NEW YEAR!!!

22番♬♫ Late Merry Christmas!

Awww sorry my dears!
Again - I am late!
I was too lazy to get the pictures to my PC and then I just forgot and anyways, I am back!
This time I have lots of pics for you so ~ yes ♥ enjoy!!

So first I came back ♥

Christmas Tree at Aoyama - don't like it too much to be honest

Mimi and I went eating at the place Funi works at! And it was delicious!!! ♥


Later we went to Asakusa as we wanted to see the Sky Tree anyways!

And the illumination was awesome !!! so fell in love!




Of course we had Glühwein as well!






                                   And I went to Izakaya with Jenni!!! It was really nice ♥♥




When Bambi came we went to this suteki coffee shop!!!! And we got cake ♥ It was delicious!


 And look what my sister got me!!!! Spekulatius Creme!! Sooo sweet but sooo tasty as well ♠

 Found this one on my way to Roppongi Hills!!! i liked it a lot to be honest xD thought it was cute!
 We went to Roppongi Hills Christmas Market! There is a german christmas market and I really wanted to go, so I asked my friend hide to come with me ♥ and of course he did ♥




 And the christmas tree was awesome!!! Sooo romantic!!! I fell in love with it instantly ♥

 The other night there was a christmas party from my university and I went there with Jenni! We didn't stay too long though but went to Karaoke afterwards - it was really funny because when we sang Memeshikute in german version my name was displayed on the big screen ha ha ha we couldn't stop laughing!
 Afterwards we went to this fancy little bar and met a friend of hers there - I had met him once before at some event and I was really surprised, when he got me a christmas present!! It is so cute and I am really thankful! Also he was really nice and tried his best to talk to me - which was difficult not only because my japanese still sucks but also because it was rather loud and he has a pretty soft voice so yeah  - but I had lots of fun!

I came back home at about 6 and got some hours of sleep until I got to get up because the post got me my christmas present from my sister! LUCKY!!

I got the coolest presents ever and I love EVERY SINGLE ONE of them!!!! 
Christmas itself was rather .... well, not too much christmas like *laughing* I skyped with my sister and watched some nice christmas movies - not that different from all my other christmases though as my family and I are rather celebrating together anyways - so again it was my sister and me but it was really nice so I think this christmas was a great christmas as well!!

Oh and also I made some decisions regarding myself and my life. There might be some changes from now on as I decided not to hold back too much anymore for other people's sake. I feel that I can't do that anymore and I probably shouldn't as well, so I am kind of stopping that attitude from now on!
Also I want to become healthier and fitter so I will start to go to the Fitness Studio regulary (or at least that is what I am intending to do!!)

And there's much more!
But stay tuned for the next entry!! :3

~21♫♬~ And some more blabla!

Sorry guys!

I really wanted to write more often but then again a few things happened and I didn't really feel like writing - or as if there was anything to write about!
So actually today I wanted to show you some pics but I still have them at my phone so I will show them to you another day-
So this will only be blabla and if you didn't want to read it, this would be the right time to leave the blog:)

So recently I made quite some of my friends and of course my family worry about me a lot. There has been more than one reason and actually some of the reasons are still there but there is no need to talk about that right now.
Fact is that I needed a break from just everything and this is why I ran away from this life here for some days - a week in fact.
I went to that place that makes me feel at home and safe the most and I spend my days with people I was sure that they would understand and accept me the way I am right now.
Fact is that I changed. Fact is that I also changed into things I never wanted to become again - but I was so afraid of becoming it, that I did become like that   - nearly exactly like that again.
And only a few people know me long enough to know that. Know me long enough to know how to handle me(thus i have to admit that all my friends handled me pretty fine i would say and I am very thankful) so I wanted to return to the people knowing how to give me strenght - and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Leaving was hard. Leaving and returning to here was hard... but as for my job for example, they tried to do EVERYTHING to make it more fun for me  - which was really cute and not necessary as it was not really about the job anyways. But I felt flattered, that they wanted me to come back soon .. I was glad that they showed me I was welcomed.
Though to come back to the time I took of - I did really need it. And I think actually i need some more. Maybe a month or something like that, but of course i know, that I can't get that so it can't be helped.
that time just showed me that there were people accepting the me I am right now. I can't change back right now as there are things holding me back from doing so. And thus I am doing my best it won't work out it only a few weeks.

Still I decided on something else. I know this is unfair for so many people around me, but I decided tha first of all _I_ need to get better and get love and friendship and all these great feelings, before I am able to give as much as I did before.
Some of my friends might say I didn't enough. Or it has been a long time since I did give anything. Or it is unfair.. I am sorry for that.
I am just trying my best to come out of here again.
This doesn't mean I won't care about my friends anymore. My friends are still so very important for me, i could never stop caring. It just means that ther emight time where you can't get in touch with me or times I seem to not really care. I am already sorry about that but I don't know how to work this out in another way.
Also I will still be busy these days as I do still have quite a lot of appointments so...

anyways...
I am kinda happy to be back but still miss this place where I could be me and nobody cared.
I will try my best..

and from tomorrow there will be more cheerfull things on this blog again!
thanks for reading and stay tuned!

20番♫♬ Sorry, I am back!

Dear readers ~
I am soooo sorry ;(
I took some time off as you might have recognized as due to different reasons I didn't really feel like blogging at all so ...sorry for that!

Let's get started though!
Tomorrow I have to write the JLPT Level 3 - and I will fail :D Some of you might think something like "She's just saying that and will be perfect" but NO. This time it is a bit different after all. I knew I wasn't good at Kanji and I didn't really study after all .... one reason for that was that I am lazy and the other reason was some private matters so - to make it short: I didn't really study for that test and people who took the test will understand why it is nearly impossible to pass it without studying. There is of course the chance of LUCK that I am good at guessing but as I already know I am not too well in that, I will just take the test as renshuu and go one ^^v

Also the next week I might be off again due to some reasons.
I probably won't use my PC too often - only for work of course. I will check my messages from time to time, but please don't get angry if you don't get an answer these days ,ok? 
I will make sure to come back to you asap when I have a bit more time again!

Oh and I already planned some things for December - I would like to have some christmas feeling so yeah - I was told I need to get a boyfriend for that though but .... :D Anyways there is this meeting some people would call a date - I won't call it date as it doesn't feel like a date at all - but anyways, i am kinda looking forward to it - I will write about it maaaybe tomorrow night - because I have some reasons to get no sleep tomorrow ;) 

Anyways!
 Yesterday was the christmas tree illumination ceremony at Aoyama! I was told it is really pretty so of course I went there!
TO be honest I was a bit disappointed though - I didn't feel like christmas after all ... maybe because christmas is so different here in Japan? Probably, right? I want to drink Glühwein! OR at least eat Glühwein-Bonbons! I will ask my sister to get some for me I think!!

Also recently I am thinking about stopping university after this semester and focus on working. Also I would like to go to a japanese language school, as I really want to become better in japanese soon... I found an interesting school and asked them for some information.Can't wait for it to come!

Well yeah, that's it about my life recently I guess.. I mean of course there is more, but I guess there are some things you shouldn't talk about in your blog, right? ;)

But for all of the people who already lived in Japan for one year - do you feel the same? When I first came to japan I loved all the food here etc. and did barely miss german food but recently I still love japanese food but I miss a lot of german food! For example german cereals!!!!! And of course bread...or joghurt! And how about Brezeln?! Or even just some sausage! Hahaha 
I guess I am more german than I ever thought i would be in the end !

Anyways, I have some last pictures for you today!
Took them this month - a little bit of christmas feeling is really necessary, isn't it?
Tomorrow December starts over all - tomorrow is the first of advent, isn't it?!?! And I don't have any christmas stuff here after all ;( Oh wow, this feels a bit sad.. should get myself something soon I guess!

OK so here the pictures :D
 First of all - I LOVE the movie Charlie and the chocolate factory - and I really wanted this chocolate! And chris found it and got some for me !!!!!!!! I prefer the red one but both are really tasty!
 This is the way I always have to take back from work! They tried to illuminate it a bit!
 We had some free time and went for a coffee- and doutours cappuchino is so tasty with a bit of chocolate!

 Sorry it was really stormy that day but it looked so cute! It is next to our office so I pass the shop every working day and I love it! It is just tooooo cute after all!

19番♬♫ Hairdresser!

I am already back!
It seems like I have lots of free - blogging time recently but actually this is not true :D
I am just taking my time to do so even though there are things I should better do - such as prepare for the N3 I am writing soon :D

But well anyways, I am here right now and I would like to write about yesterday - I had class - boring- and afterwards I went to a Station near mine to meet with Ami, a friend of Ksenias, who is a hairdresser and was so nice to help me with my new style!!! And she made it really cheap for me as well - so lucky!
So I went there and before we met I just bought a hand creme from Body shop which smellls sooo great - and I found a tea shop as well - an english tea shop (I have to mention this) and I think I might go there for shopping soon again because they had CHRISTMAS TEA! And as it's getting colder outside I am getting into christmas mood again so yes.. i wanna have it :D

Anyways we met at Marui One and left for the salon - so nice she picked me up!
Actually they had the day off yesterday so there was noone there besides us, which was reeeally cool!

I wanted to dye my hair as it is already dead from all the blond - and we did! I thought it would be more brownish but the color now is just perfect!!
It looks really natural and pretty gold :3 I love it!

It took about 2 1/2 hours to dye my hair - and afterwards the cut. We had to cut about 10 cm from the lenght as my hair was dead already..... well can't be helped, right?! And now I have bangs! I didn't have bangs for about 6 years now! But it looks good!

You can find the picture on my facebook <3

18番♫♬ Hostfamily, Yokohama and some future plans

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am back !

Next time I think I might even post a short video - I would like to answer some questions regarding living in Tokyo etc.etc. and I thought that maybe doing a video would be a good idea sooo stay tuned!

After the tiring event of D I got a fever which is why I was allowed to work from home on Friday - which was nice because I could barely move my body :( Anyways, I finished work for Friday and went to sleep early (Well at least I tried) to get up early on Saturday as I wanted to go to my hostfamilies place!

I arrived there at about 11.30 - right time for lunch ;) I had sphagetti - I didn't have sphagetti for a freaking long time and as I always love the food my hostmum makes for me, I loved that as well!
Afterwards I studied a bit and my mom explained the differences in the grammar to me.. I really miss living with my family right now.... I used to talk so much more in japanese when living there - (well obviously) but as I may return home whenever I feel like doing so, I will make sure to return home soon! (Though it's quite expensiv and also far ;;)

After studying I slept for a hour to come back to watch my mom designing some small baskets for the next days party and also we talked a lot as we used to do before when i lived there.
My mom also gave me a cooking book in which I can find simple and cute receips to cook for myself - because they are worried that I won't cook even though it's getting colder and as we all know warm food is better for me when it's cold outside so yeah, she gave this to me and I love it!

I also got some candles smelling like christmas ♥
I will take pics for sure so wait a bit! Next post might be the Picture and Video Post ^^,

Sorry I am just too lazy for doing fotos right now -

I am going to go on another event today and I am already kinda looking forward to it but as it will be pretty long I am also kinda not looking forward to it. Anyways I have to go to university first and afterwards I still got about 1 1/2 hours to wait for Jenni to arrive in Shinjuku. I think I might go to starbucks, getting some coffee and maybe even studying..

Anyways I will let you know as soon as I feel ready ;)

Oh and by the way, I will go to the hairdresser tomorrow so.... Stay tuned! ♥

17番♪♫Mad Tea Party Event

Hey guys!

I take my time to come to my blog today as I caught a cold and had some fever in the morning.
I might skip the class and also I asked my boss wether it was OK to work from home today or not but as I didn't get an answer yet I might have to go anyways.
Bad Luck.

Anyways yesterday I went to D's Mad Tea Party Event for work - as it is for work I can't tell you too much about it but at least something.
First of all I had to go out of class early to make sure to get to the place in time - I met jenni at Hachiko (and by the way there was this model scout who tried to scouted me lol... me from all the cute girls there....well whatever) anyways, after that we went to shibuya O-East together - a first for me being in this hall!

We met with Igarashi-san who told us what to do ( I was in charge of the reports and Jenni of the pictures) and then we went to meet the members of D because we would work with them that night.

Well I was able to enjoy the show while writing for the reports so it was really nice!
There were quite a few good bands playing and I was really surprised by some of them that night! 

Please make sure to visit MusicJapanPlus for further details soon as the live report is in progress right now *laughing*

Anyways I got some presents and I am sooo glad about them!
I will post pictures tomorrow though!

I am not feeling like I could take good pictures right now, so this is why I will skip that today!

Sorry, I am really tired and I don't know how much I am allowed to write here about what happend so I hold it pretty short.
If you have any questions you can ask me and maybe I can just write you a private message if you'd like to know more ;)


Ok that's it for today - as i didn't get the go from my boss about working at home today I will just get ready I guess...this sucks :D

16番♬~Harajuku and Omotesando~

So as I already promised I am back with a few pictures I took yesterday!

I took a lot but most of them are for work! So I will only poste a few of my pictures here - 

the others you might be able to see at the website of modeJAPAN+ soon! so make sure to check

the site on facebook and please please like us!

The more likes we get the more we will be able to do in the end, you know?

So yes! 

Anyways, the pictures!

 Well as it was Sunday and Bunka no hi it was really crowded- you can really see on the first pic but it was!!
 The Takeshita - I hate it on weekends because it is too crowded and you will not be able to walk properly!!!


 The pictures change and I really wanted to show you! But sadly it was broken at one point!

 I love this corner because I love the crepes there! This time I didn't get some but I will get some next time for sure!!!

 This is in front of Laforet right now! Quite cute right? I am not too much into Mickey and Minni but even I thought that it was pretty cute!
 It seems like in Japan it's already winter - which feels weird but good at the same time :D In Disneyland the winter season is going to start soon and actually I am planning to go so...yeah! :D


 And you can always eat this! Summer,Winter,Whenever! I didn't get some but yeahh... I will for sure!
 This was sooo beautiful! I think it was a wedding shop *lol* but  I found it to be so stunning that I really had to take a pictures! I don't even know if we are allowed to but I did :O
 And this is a cake shop near my school! It looks amazing so maybe I will get one for work sometime so we can eat it all together *laughing*

Well that's it for now!
Sorry I didn't upload more pictures!
I will go again soon (with more free space to move hopefully) and take some more but yeah :3

Anyways I slept only three hours this night and I don't really know why but it happened to be like that and this is why I am feeling a bit weird and tired but somehow I got a lot of confidence this night and decided to change a few things in my life again :O

People who know me, know that this happens quite sometimes to me :D
We will see if I really archieved all my goals later on *laughing*

But right now I am actually really optimistic sooo yeah :)

Oh and I will have my hair cut!
Jenni will cut it for me , I am soooo thankful! She will get a nice thank you for sure!!!
Because I really want to change it! Somehow I need a change right now  - probably only the split ends and the bangs - I will have short bangs then! I think this is the second time in my life *laughing*

I am looking forward to it though! 
I mean, my hair used to grow pretty fast - and even if not - whatever?
I decided on the following: If I have the feeling it gets less and less the next few weeks or month I will just cut a bob or something :)

This will be something new and it will be interesting for sure soooo yes!

Ok that's it from me for today xD 
This got really long again - sorry!!

Have a great week!

15番♬ ~ Aoyama Gakuin and Meetings~

Look look who is back again! *laughing*

Jup it's me!

Today I have some more pictures from my university for you!

I actually took them maybe three weeks ago but I just forgot, that I still had them on my phone!

We had great weather at the day and as we are a christian university, this holy looks suits Aoyama

Gakuin just too well!

Well enjoy!!!

 This is on the way to my university! We are located between Shibuya and Omotesando and I just love it!
 Isn't it damn beautiful? I think it looks more like a park than like a university but anyways
 This is one of our four entry gates - I think it is the main gate! I pass it every morning and every evening!

 This is the main "street"to the different buildings! I often sit on the benches while waiting for mimi!

 Last but not least - Holy Aoyama Gakuin! :D


Ok I have some other pics for you - some pictures of what I bought some days ago and of course a picture about my meeting :D Hahaha I can't tell you too much about the meeting sadly but we have had a lot of awesome ideas and if we can get them realized you guys (if you are following MusicJAPANplus and ModeJapan+) Will have a lot of fun soon!!!!!!

I can tell you one thing: It might happen that you see jennis and my face more often on the website then :D

Anyways, we went to Starbucks  - because this is just the best place to have a meeting if you can't get to work :D *laughing*
Later on we had a walk through Takeshita - maybe I post a few pics tomorrow- and omotesando (pictures tomorrow as well) ! :3

I also went to Like an edison because I decided that I should get myself a Cure or Shoxx because if I had no idea what music people like right now, I can't be a good promoter, right?

Anyways enough blablabla for today - let's come to the pics!

Enjoy and as always please leave a comment ♥
Oh and you can ask me questions anytime! If you want me to tell you about something or you would like me to do something or whatever - just let me know! ♥♥

Take care guys!

PICTURE OVERFLOOOOOOW :D
 My new stylish headphones! I don't like the in-ears too much so yeah - I LOVE THESE!! ♥♥
 They look like black diamonds which actually fits my new bag soooo welllll!! I fell in love !

 I really like this coffee hahaha It tastes good and I think (or at least I pretend) it wakes me up! :3
 Harajukuuuu Station crowded as always and even more today because of Bunka Day XD
 We had Lunch at Sturbucks so I ate this bread with cheese and ham and it was awesomely delicious!
 And I tried the new marron pie latte! It's not that awesome in hot but I heared it tastes good in the cold form!
 Already christmas style though :D hahhaa i like it though.....don't know why but it looks cute!
 And my second coffee-no actually it wasn't coffee but Chai tea latte which has this strong cinnamon taste and this makes it really christmas like and also i got this cute snowmaaaaan :3


Ok that's it for today xD
I should probably study bit now so 
talk to you guys tomorrow !
