Hiatus

I just wanted to say that I will be on hiatus for at least some days, because my computer got infected by a virus. I am writing this post from my brother's place. I hope this problem will be fixed soon. See you then! I will miss reading your posts! :-(

Covert advertising for my favourite products :-)

Sorry guys for not posting for a while! I was quite busy writing my graduation paper, now I have already 15 pages, that's half of the minimum requirement! I will try to write some more pages in the next days. Since the deadline is still far away (April 18, but that's a sunday, so I have to hand it in on April 16), I can allow myself to have some freetime in between. XDD

Today I want to share a pic of the cosmetic products I use almost everyday, since there were some questions about that lately. Sorry about the mess on my desk! I have to clean it up soon! XDD

I usually begin using the facial foam from Kracie, which I bought in Japan. It is really good (with peach essence, hmmm), then I use the lotion I got from my doctor. I used to take facial lotion from Lush, too (called Celestial), but it's gone by now and I just didn't buy another one yet, hahaha! I don't use any make-up, just some face powder to prevent my face from being shiny! :-)
The two little round things are my favourite lipbalms from Lush, the pink one is the japanese version of "Honey Trap", the black one is the German version of "Chocolate Whipstick". I really recommend both!
"Smitten" is my favourite handlotion from Lush! It is marzipain scented, so yummy! :-)) Makes your hand really soft and nice scented. Last but not least, "Palmers Cocoa Butter", I have very dry skin after bathing. :-(

For all of you who want to take a look at Lush's awesome products, click here. I am sure you will become Lush addicts, too! XDDDD

Okay, I hope this post wasn't that boring for you! The next posts will be more interesting! For the weekend I have planned something great with a friend, and I cannot wait sharing it with you! Please look forward. :-)

 

Have a nice weekend!

I just came back from a funny day! I am really tired now! I met with some friends, and went to lunch with my brother and sister. I really wanted to take some pics from the japanese food we shared, but I guess we were so hungry that I simply forgot! XDD So I want to share at least some new pics from my friends and me today (hope they won't kill me for posting without asking, hihi).

In our favourite Cafe

 

Almost the same picture XD

More Fotos

Hello everyone! Thanks for you kind comments to my room, I was happy to hear that you liked it and thought it was cute! I would love to have you as guests  in my room someday! :-) I wanted to post pics about my university and stuff that made me happy, but I didn't take any fotos to both yet, so today you get to see the contents of my bag, in other words, things that I carry with me as soon as I leave the house. Have fun!

 

My new bag from Accessorize. It was on 70% Sale! (From 43 Euros to 13 Euros which are about 20 US$)

 
  

Here is the contents! 

A pink eco bag (for grocery shopping :-)

A polka dot coin purse (gift from a friend)

My ipod

My mobile

A pink Hello Kitty purse, where I put my cards, ID card, point cards etc.

A Korilakkuma (the white bear) coin purse

My keys

A bottle of disinfect lotion

My camera (which is in the bear pouch at the top)

My chewing gum box in the middle (also bear shaped)

My red make-up pouch from Swimmer

  

Bonus pic: the contents of my Swimmer pouch!

A mini towel

A tissue case (the turqoise ribbon thing)

A bear compact mirror

A lipbalm

A compact brush (the round thing at the right)

A pencil

A pink comb

Some painkillers (just in caseXD)

A omamori ( the white thing in the middle, it is a japanese lucky charm)

What do we learn from that? I am a bear addict! XD I have a soft spot for anything cute, anyway. :-)

There are some people who say they can tell about a person's character by reference to the contents of their bag. Maybe you can come to your own conclusions about my personality seeing all this stuff? 

I will spam you with pics today XDDD

As the title suggests, today will be a picture lasting post. Requests for the foto game today are from Bommie who wanted to see my room, and RicAdeMus who wanted to see my study spots. As latter is to be found in my room, too, I thought I'd combine both requests. Have fun watching the pics. (I was told by friends that my room is quite spacious, but I don't think so! It is quite small! :-)

 

This is what it looks like when you enter the room.

This is my bed (and posters from my fav band, KATTUN)

Favourite studying spot Nr. 1: My computer

Favourite studying spot Nr. 2: My writing desk (which looks so messy atm...)

My desk again and my wall decoration (yeah, I am great fan of Kat Tun!)

My book shelf and dresser

A close-up of the book shelf

My door and my bag collection :-)

The corner... XD

Bonus pic: close-up of the wall decoration and my strap collection

Bonus pic 2: My plushies from Japan (mainly gifts from friends) My sis got the other half :-)

Got enough now? (^o^) Next requests will be my university class room and things that make me happy!

And now, the first request from the foto game from Sara Mari You wanted to see my favourite item atm?

 

Here it is! It is my mobile! It is my favourite item atm, because it is my connection with the world outside my room :-) As I am too busy with the graduation paper right now... If I feel like it, meeting my friends is just one call or text message away!

Here is the opened version. I absolutely love the keyboard, which allows me to text message very fast! :-) My favourite colour is pink, as to answer Sara's question. The straps are a Statue of Liberty Odaiba Kitty, the Cookie Monster from the USJ Osaka and a Rilakkuma Mobile Cleaner from the Rilakkuma Store in Osaka.

I used to have more straps dangling from my mobile! :-)

Okay, tomorrow more pics are to come! See you then! (I just realized this has become a long post...)

Miracles do happen... and a new Game

A miracle happened! My ipod came back to life! It has been dead for about 3 days, and yesterday, the display went back to normal! I still can't believe it, I am just too happy to express it in proper words! Maybe it was broken because of the cold, I've heard that electronic devices can react quite sensitive the the cold. Anyways, I hope it will stay with me just a little bit longer (^0^).

I've been thinking about how to make this blog much more interesting, and I came up with a little game. If you want, you can participate, if not I will participate only myself :-) The idea is to ask me to post a picture about any aspect of my life that you are curious about. It can be anything and as it is manageable for me, I will make the foto and post it (as soon as my new battery arrives). As I said, if you are interested, requests are welcome! If not, I will think about it myself, what you might find interesting. At first, I thought about doing this game once in a month. I hope this will bring me a little bit closer to my readers, and that you get to know more about me. :-)

Just a random remark: today my friend thought it was time for another fortune cookie, and here is what was in mine: "It always pays leading things to their end". Maybe this is sign that I will gain a good grade with my graduation paper??? What do you think? XD

Time to say goodbye...

To my good old friend, my pink ipod mini which died yesterday, on my way home from a funny evening downtown. I was just listening to my favourite music as usual, then suddenly it stopped. I just thought I touched the stop button accidently, since it is in my jacket's pocket, but it wasn't, so. I't s dead. There's still the song being displayed while it stopped. I got my ipod in Dec 2006, so it has been with me for 3 years and two months. What a terrible loss! (Luckily my birthday is coming soon XD) I still ask myself if it is a sign, first my camera battery and now my beloved ipod...maybe I should just concentrate on my graduation paper than fotographing and listening to music? :-)

 

Rest in peace :-)

For all who are interested: here's the link to the song which I listened to while it happened!

It is from a japanese band called "Buck-Tick", and the song is called "Gessekai" (meaning Moon World)

Gessekai

A Piece of Me in February

Hello everyone! I am so sorry for the late update! I also promised some fotos from my last cheescake, but then suddenly... my camera battery went crazy, and it is broken now. But I already ordered a new one. By the time it arrives here, the cake will be most likey gone :-) Maybe I will do some baking for Valentines! So, sorry no fotos this time!

It is already time again for the game I joined! So here is this month's "A Piece of Me"

This month....
I like: that my mum is on holiday for 6 weeks, and I have the whole apartment for myself! :-)
 
I don't like: writing my Bachelor graduation paper, it will be so annoying...

I want you to know: that I read each comment and that I am happy you are all following my (uninteresting) blog. I want to do an award as soon as I have enough followers!

I've planned: to write as much as one third of my paper (better half of it), and look for a part time job to save
some money for my next trip to Japan

I want to say to someone special: My dear friend K. celebrates her 23rd birhday next week! We already know each other for 9 years (from school), and it has been a long time since! Happy birthday to you and I hope we will stay friends forever! :-)

Yeah!

I made it! My last presentation at university. Now, all that is left is just writing all the stuff down until March 31. But I plan to finish it at around Mid March, to get it corrected and printed in time.

I will bake a New York Cheesecake again tomorrow, this time with better ingredients! The last one was, I wouldn't say a failure, but it didn't look so nice. Look forward to a beautiful cake this time!

Okay, sorry for this boring post this time with no photos. The next one is surely more interesting!
