Thought I was too late with my christmaswishes, because I was so busy with different things I want to wish everybody a 'Happy New Year and all the Best for 2012!!!'

What will you do tonight?
I think I'll party with my parents *haha*
but yes I'm serious! Somehow I don't really feel like partying much, so I'll go drink a little bit with my parents at a pub :)

So bye bye 2011!
See you again in 2012!　　　('-^*)/

Yes, because I got a real nice present from her, my dad and my sister. She even sent it to me by express mail service (EMS), it is the fastest mail delivering service in austria, but as well the most expensive one. 

And that's what she sent me:

☆       an advent calendar

☆       4 yankee candle samples

☆       a letter

She wanted to cheer me up, because I was a bit exhausted because of all these studying and I was a bit worried about, if I really can do it. So she sent me the encouragement letter, with some nice words, the advent calender, because she knows, how much I love this stuff, and so I can as well count the days 'till I can go home for christmas. The 4 yankee candle samples were a huge surprise for me. I absolutely fell in love with them, when I got a sample at a trade fair, I visited with my parents. They smell really awesome! Much better than all the stuff you get at the drugstores in austria. 

When I called her right after I got the package, to say thank you, my mom told me that we now sell them in our shop! 

The encouragement helped a lot, because on friday I had as well my japanese speech/presentation. Oh my I was so nervouse but I could do it! I'm so proud of myself. Well I still think the others made a much better job. I was talking about 'Yohji Yamamoto'. You know him? He is a japanese fashion designer. I still know about him, because of my fashionstudies in school. 

My japanese exam went well as well. I passed! I'm so happy about that! I really thought I couldn't do it. It was so difficult. 

So now I have to concentrate on the other stuff... I still have so many kanji to learn and in 2 weeks there is the next presentation,... and I still haven't decide on my theme for my seminar paper...　それは大変だ。

ahhhh....頑張ろう！

Last but not Least my presentations outfit!

(I don't think I look too skinny, do I?)

Well after university yesterday, I as well met some friends. We went to the Christmas market to drink some 'Glühwein' and hot punch. We really had a lot of fun. But sadly I didn't take any pictures. 

It as well was the first time this year I went to the Christmas market. 

Hope I can go there more often this year. I really absolutely love Christmas! ♥

じゃぁね～

 Oh my, it's midterm time... and I really need to do a good job with my exams, because if I fail, it's hard to pass the whole course... midterm exam are as important as the finals x.X'
So today I had my first exam/test. It was the one for my japanese praxis class, so I had to study really hard for it this week... and my desk just looked like...

...This!

and I really don't know if I passed the test... I found it was a bit tricky and the system I was used too changed, so I think I should have done my studying in a bit different way. But well I can't change it anymore.

So after my exam I bought a bubbly tea with strawberry taste as an small reward for my hard work the last few days, and as a little incentive (oh my... never used that word, hope it is ok to use it that way) for the next days.

My small reward for myself xD

Tomorrow I'll do a little bit shopping, because the last week it got really cold here in Vienna and I still have no Jacket/coat for Winter o.O'' I will be freezing all day, if I don't find one. Hope I see a cute one tomorrow. 

Beside a coat for winter I need some other clothing as well. Because I really managed to ruin 2 trousers during this week xDD... I, myself, don't know how, but I can't wear just a skirt everyday in winter. 

And because I don't really have much money (I'm just a poor student thought... (^_^;) ) I'm so glad, my mom told me she will give me the money for the coat ♥

So there is still some work left for my, to do today, the next exam is coming , but I want to have enough time tomorrow for shopping, so better I do today some stuff (*^-^)b

じゃぁ～ね　♥

Speed Cleaning :*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:

Today, my 'Tandempartner' Aya-san came to my home for watching DVD. I was so looking forward to it, but I was pretty lazy the last month with cleaning my room and together with my flatmate we were to lazy cleaning our flat o.O' Well so I had to do some speed cleaning (all alone, because my flatmate is at her parents place for the weekend) today. I cleaned my room, the toilett, our bathroom, the kitchen and our living room all alone in about 4 hours? I slept longer then I planed, so I had to hurry, because I wanted to take a shower too before Aya-san will arrive. So I stood up around 9:30 am, made some coffee and took a shower while putting the bathmat in the washingmashine. It always takes me very long for drying my hair, so after showering it took my about 1 hour for drying my hair and getting dressed. So it was finally around 12 pm when I could start vacuuming/hoovering the rooms and cleaning the floor.
I was so glad I could finish everything in time. Cleaning the bathroom, toilette, kitchen, my room and finally the very important livingroom, where I planned watching DVD. xD

When Aya-san finally arrived, we went to the video store to rent a DVD. After some time we decided to watch "Monster in Law".

We watched it in german, because Aya-san wants to improve her german. It was hard for her, but she still understood much. I'm really very impressed. Her german is so much better than my japanese (TωT)

After watching the DVD we decided to watch a japanese movie as well. We watched "僕の初恋をキミに捧ぐ" (Boku no hatsukoi wo kimi ni sasagu/ I give my fist love to you)

So we watched movies in both languages German and Japanese. But I liked the second movie more. In this movie I could lough and cry at the same time. It is really a very sad movie T_T but with funny moments ;)

After watching the movies, we went back to the video store to return the DVD and then I saw Aya-off at the U-Station. We had much fun again. And I'm looking forward to see her again.

☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆

'My Cleaning Music' today (^_-)☆

☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆

Tomorrow, I'm going home again, for visiting my parents. I have no university 'till thursday, so it is really worth it to take some rest and visit my family.
Bai Bai ~

❤ Choco & Popcorn ❤

Just a small unnecessary post with nonsene, just because I don't want to do my homework atm.
I know I'm a really bad rolemodel（笑）

Last weekend there was my fathers birthdayparty and so I went home for celebrating with him. Even thought I just was about feeling better after my sickness and I thought I wouldn't be able to eat anything.
Oh I was so glad, that I was already feeling so much better because when I was looking for my weight at home (I have no scale/weighing machine or what ever the english term is ^^' in Vienna) I was really SHOCKED!!!
I just weight 46kg at a height of 160cm !!!! Thats definitly too less, so I decided to gain some weight again!
At my dad's birthdayparty there was so much deliciouse looking food (well I made many photos but unfortunatly all with my dads cam so I don't have any of the photos for showing you u.û)
I couldn't eat that much at the party because I was so afraid of getting sick again but I tried a bit of nearly everything! It tasted so good!
I left the party early, because I was so tired and our neighbors left too so they were so kind seeing me home.
During the night I had a bad stomachache again! But the next day everything was okay again. So I enjoyed the last day at my hometown, just laying around watching TV （笑）

So last week I started again with Taekwondo Training because I was feeling really much better, I think I'm already healthy again. Because this weekend we had a seminar with our grandmaster. It was so awesome! I really enjoyed the training and the food afterwards. We had a big buffet with a lot of chinese food, sushi and sweet desserts! Even thought I already ate better chinese food it was okay and I was so hungry that I really ate 4 full plates and some dessert! haha... well I still need to gain some weight remember ;)

Yesterday I met my new japanese 'Tandempartner' Aya-san at 'Café Ritter'. We drank some coffee and were talking about some things in japanese and german. We really had a lot of fun and we will meet again next weekend for watching some DVD's. I'm really looking forward to it.

So today I was just studying and doing my homework... well and I went to the supermarket for some food!
and there I found this 'Choco&Popcorn' chocolate! I didn't know it before so I just had to buy it to try how it tastes. I think it really tastes good! While I was eating chocolate I was trying to do my nails with some simple nail art. But I still failed!

And at least a bad quality outfit photo （笑）

with my 'Who'-hairstyle, my sis thinks I look like a 'Who' form 'Horton hears a Who!'

 with this hair

Thats how I look like when I'm taking the train for going to my hometown. It doesn't look very stylish but it is very comfortable for a 4 1/2 hours train ride.

So I'll go back to my work!
'Till next time 
bai bai

It started with Trouble !

As I posted, 2 weeks ago University started again. And it started really busy! Well I thought I don't have many classes, so there will be enough time for a part time job. LoL No way! I had so much to do in my first week, that I even didn't know anymore where up and down was! We got pretty much homework, and the most things were about researching in the library.
I was so looking forward to the last weekend, because my parents were planning to come to Vienna! But then I got really sick. There was something wrong with my stomach and I had so much stomachache, that I really thought I'm gonna die o.O' So after a horrible weekend, a horrible week started on monday, because that day was the worst of all. I nearly lost consciousness because of the mad pain. So I finally went to see a doctor. Well I hate going to the doctor, but this time it was really necessary. The doctor prescribed me some medicine and he put me on a special diet. I'm only allowed to eat pretzel sticks, cooked rice and cooked potatoes. So thats all I've ate since Monday and drunk chamomile tea. I feel like as if I lost about 5 kg -.-'' And I really want to eat some real thing so badly T_T
But I already feel much better now. There is no stomachache anymore o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

❤ Felix &Sasha with chamomile tea and pretzel sticks made me feel better ❤

So today I finally tried to catch up with my stuff I should have done during the days I was sick. So first I went shopping today and then I went to the copy shop before I went home again for doin' my homework and started studying.
Tomorrow after universityclasses I'll go to my hometown to visit my parents during this weekend. My father had his 60th birthday this week so we all will celebrate this weekend! (And I'll be not allowed to eat the yummy food there T_T)

So this is what I bought today:

And yes I'm outing myself as a big 'Gilmore girls' fan!!! о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

I finally got the complete 2nd season, because it was on sale! (I really love sale x3~)

And I bought some bodylotion for my mom because she told me to buy it for her. It is from 'The body shop'.

Aaaaaaand I bought my sisters birthdaypresent, because she had birthday last week!
I bought her a cover for her iPhone4 ^^
I really hope she'll like it o(^-^)o it's with real Swarovski stones.

the ready present (^_^;)

As homework for the fist week in my japaneseclass we had to write a short essay about our future o.O'
Well I already hate to write essays in german and then I should write one in japanese? OMFG!!! panic!!!
I really didn't know what to write but finally I got something on the paper, with lots of mistakes (*haha*)

with too many mistakes -.-'

After that I had to study a bit because tomorrow I have my first Kanji test for this semester u.û

It's not that much... but well, I really have to catch up with my stuff σ(^_^;)
So please wish me luck!

Oh and finally I wanted to say, last week I met again a cute japanese girl, I met this summer! It was the last time we could meet, because she was flying back to Japan the next day T_T but she will visit Vienna again next year! I'm so looking forward to it （‐＾▽＾‐）
And she gave me a japanese fashion magazine! Thats so nice from her, because this magazines are pretty expensive, something about € 7,- (yes this is much money for me, especially for a magazine) but it is really big as well! There is so many stuff in there, I want to have 。・ﾟﾟ･(≧д≦)･ﾟﾟ･｡

Thank you so much Kie-san ❤

So well that's it for today ^^'
I'm going to bed now. Wish you all a good night!

おやすみ～ ☆彡

Back to school !

Yeah, today my summerholidays finally ends. Three months are a bit long I think, but I'm not able to change it.
So tomorrow University classes are starting again. I'm really looking forward to it, because at least I really like my subject but my scedule for this winter semester is really S*** ! I just have classes in the afternoon or in the evening. That's really bad, because then the whole day is beeing used, and I can't really do other things because at the mornings I don't really feel like doin' houseworks *haha*
And beside that, my Teakwondo training is as well in the evening, so I really don't know when I should go to the training, when I'm sitting in some classes?

But my language classes are better this semester. Last semester I had Theorie and Praxis on the same day. That was really a pain in the as, specialy when we had the exams! 2 very important and difficult exams at one day ending at 8 p.m.! But I'm really glad I could do it :D

And I'm looking for a part time job atm. Because I really do need some money.
But I just don't know what I should do. I'm not a good waitress and sales assistant. And the most part time jobs are waitress or sales assistant. I would prefer to work at an office but these part times seems to be really rare atm.
Hope I'll be able to find one

Wish ya all a nice Sunday evening

❤ Macha Latte and Karaoke fun ! ❤

I don't know why, but today I feel like posting in english.
Well my english is not perfect and really not the best but I'm trying (*⌒∇⌒*)

Last week it was the last week of the japanese 'Summertandem', so on Wednesday afternoon I met again with Kazumi-san and Chiaki-san.
First we went to 'Cha no Ma', a small store/café where you can get different sorts of Macha drinks and japanese sweets. Kazumi-san and I ordered a Macha Latte and Chiaki-san ordered a Macha Latte with white chocolate. Both were so delicious! ❤

my Macha Latte with 'Tea' written on the milk froth

At the store we found a japanese fashion magazine (sadly I forgot the name of the magazine) and we three girls had so much fun running over the pages of the magazine and talking about fashion and differences between japanese and western trends.
They were really curious about austrian fashion magazines, so I promised them to show them next time we will meet.

After our afternoon at 'Cha no Ma' we met some others from the japanese group and my University because we wanted to go to karaoke.
I never was at this lokal, it's called 'Senkoma' and is a japanese restaurant with seperate karaoke rooms. And I think about 90% of their offered songs are japanese. *haha* so I didn't know many songs to sing.
After some time we austrians decided to sing '99 Luftbalons' from Nena and I sang 'Like a prayer' from Madonna.
It was really much fun with them and it is so sad, to know, that they will leave to Japan a few days later.

Berni in action

Chiaki-san, Kazumi-san and I

On friday we finally had our farewell party.
We met again at the Heurigen 'Steinschaden' where we had our first meeting too.
It was again a really funny evening, and we all were talking about our experiences douring this 3 weeks with cultural exchange.
It was a really looooooooong evening/night talking, laughing and drinking.
And finally it was time to say good bye. We all were exchanging e-mail adresses and talking about meeting again someday in Japan or Austria.

our last evening!

My conclusion after 3 weeks of 'Summertandem' is that is was really worth to participate. Even if it wasn't really good organized I had really much fun and I was able to find new friends and to improve my language skills a bit. It was really a good experience
I so hope to be able to go to Japan and meet them again and get much more experience in an other country.

Thank you for the nice time together!!!!

(I'm so Sorry if you don't want this photo public, if not please write me and I'll delete it ^^')

Schönbrunn ❤

Ich glaube eines der berühmtesten Bauwerke von Wien bzw. Österreich überhaupt ist wohl das Schloss Schönbrunn. Es ist wohl der Touristenmagnet schlecht hin, neben dem Stephansdom und -platz. Wer kenn nicht die Geschichte der Habsburger, insbesondere die Legende der Sissi mit ihrem Franz? Oder hat zumindest schon einmal etwas über einen der vielen Sissi-Filme gehört?
Nun denn, heut durfte ich im Rahmen unseres Sommertandems Schönbrunn besichtigen.
Es war nun nicht das erste Mal, dass ich dorthin gegangen bin, vor allem da ich ja in der Nähe wohne, ist der Schlosspark für mich doch ganz interessant als Naherholungsgebiet sozusagen *hust*
Was ich aber noch nie zuvor getan hab, war es das Schloss auch einmal von innen zu begutachten und da war dies doch die ideale Gelegenheit, einmal einen Blick hinein zu werfen.

Da wir leider nur zu 3. waren, kam ein günstigeres Gruppenticket leider nicht in Frage und wir haben uns für die günstigste und kürzeste Tour durch das Schloss entschieden, die 'Imperial Tour'.
Leider ist es im Schloss untersagt Fotos zu schießen, was ich als wirklich sehr schade empfunden habe, da es Innen wirklich schön ist.

mein Eintrittsticket

Nach der Tour wollten wir uns noch ein wenig den Schlosspark ansehen und rauf zur Gloriette spazieren.
Hier ein paar bildliche Impressionen:

Der Schlosspark gehört mit Sicherheit zu meinen Lieblingsplätzen hier in Wien!

und morgen geht's auf zum Karaoke!!!
Ich freu mich schon riesig darauf ❤~

~❤~ Sommertandem 2011 mit Heurigen und Shoppen ~❤~

Nachdem ich seit nunmehr bald 2 Jahren Japanisch lerne und noch immer so das Gefühl habe mich überhaupt nicht verständigen zu können, habe ich es gewagt und beim Sommertandem 2011 mitgemacht.
Dieses wurde von der Nagoya City University und der StV (Studentenvertretung) der Universität Wien organisiert. 
Der Gedanke dahinter war, dass wir StudentInnen der Japanologie Wien die Nachmittagsbetreuung der japanischen StudentInnen übernehmen und sozusagen soetwas wie Reiseführer 'spielen'. Also ihnen die Stadt Wien zeigen, beim Erlernen der Sprache helfen und natürlich Freundschaften schließen. 
Leider war das mit dem gegenseitig Zeit finden gar nicht so einfach wie gedacht, denn die japanischen StudentInnen hatten doch schon einen recht verplanten Stundenplan auch für den Nachmittag...

Nun denn, zu dem ersten Treffen mit den jungen Japanern gab es eine Einladung zu einem Wiener Heurigen im 19. Bezirk und ich war vielleicht aufgeregt. (^▽^;)
Vor allem hatte ich Angst davor, kein Wort rauszubekommen und gar keinen Anschluss zu finden. Gott sei Dank war an diesem Tag auch mein Schwesterherzchen zu Besuch in Wien und die habe ich dann ganz einfach mitgeschleift. ❤
Nach dem ersten Kennenlernen und einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde auf deutsch und japanisch, stellte sich heraus, dass alle meine Bedenken umsonst waren. Schnell waren Gesprächsthemen gefunden und man hat sich mit japanisch, englisch, deutsch und Handzeichen verständigt. Sogar meine Schwester, die kein Wort japanisch spricht hat schnell Anhang gefunden und sich unterhalten.
Am Ende des Abends waren E-Mail Adressen ausgetauscht und die ersten Verabredungen für ein weiteres Treffen gemacht. 

Kazumi-san und ich ❤

 Ein paar Tage später habe ich mich dann auch mit Kazumi-san und Chiaki-san zum Shoppen auf die Mariahilferstraße verabredet.
Wir hatten zu dritt wirklich wahnsinnig viel Spaß und haben uns gut verstanden, die Sprachbarriere war schnell gebrochen, auch wenn ich nach wie vor sehr viele Fehler beim Sprechen mache, so habe ich doch wirklich die Angst vor dem Reden verloren.
Der Tag ist wie im Flug vergangen und war auch sehr erfolgreich.


gekauft habe ich folgendes: 

☆ eine kurze Short bei Tally Weijl
☆ ein Armband bei H&M
☆ noch ein Armband (zusammen mit Chaiki-san und Kazumi-san) bei Pimkie
☆ und Memosticker mit süßen Kätzchen drauf in einem Spielwarengeschäft 

isn't it cute?

Für Mittwoch haben wir uns noch einmal zum Karaoke verabredet ❤
Ich freue mich schon wie ein kleines Kind drauf. （‐＾▽＾‐）


zu guter Letzt noch unsere Origamis, die wir am Heurigen gemacht haben :

sind sie nicht schön geworden? (^_^;)
