Back in the city

I'm back from Nikko. It was really great, but too much countryside for us after 2 days, so I'm kinda glad that we got back home to Tokyo.

But we had a nice party there! The photos are not taken with my camera, so the quality is a little worse, but these are the best shots from the party haha.

My friend taught me how to DJ a little bit. It's pretty easy to learn actually, but it's so hard to make a mix that sounds good. But now I'd really love to have an own CDJ..they start at 150,000 yen though..haha.













Oi! Oi! Oi!

So now that the second week of my school holidays started I kinda have to get back to studying and getting some things done. I mean as we got back from Nikko yesterday around 9 pm, it was even too late to call the real estate guy to put the apartment on keep. So yeah..let's hope that I'm really lucky and that it won't be taken after New Year!

Sweet bird of youth

Merry Christmas toeveryone! I hope all of you have great holidays and got wonderful presents!

I'm enjoying my school holidays so much right now. I sleep out every day and get a lot of things done, which is really good. For example I finally decided for an apartment! It's a very cute and kind of huge place very close to Koenji station. It has a flower pattern flooring in the kitchen and a huge bath room! It's kind of old, but very clean and it reminds me of my grandma's old house. It's kind of Japanese but so European at the same time. And I had a very hard time finding it. The real estate agents always show you real crap before you get to see the nice apartments and yes, I have to admit I kind of picky.
But I just want to move to a place that feels like home!

So I really hope the place won't be gone until next Monday..because I wanted to go to the real estate agent today to put it on keep. But my friends had some kind of Christmas Party going on when I came home. So well..I kinda failed in waking up early.

Tonight after I finished work, my friends will pick me up in Shinagawa by car and we go on a Chirstmas Party trip to beautiful Nikko. From time to time you get so sick of Tokyo, so I really love those little trips. Looking forward to breath some clean air again!

I usually never post Videos, but you should listen to this song. It's perfect for a quiet beautiful Christmas morning.

we're lost, but we're kinda cool



It's been a while again and I'm sorry for it. It's not that I'm too lazy to blog, I really want to keep this blog alive, because I love it and I love the idea of it and I love Marlene, so I want to have a medium to connect our lifes even though we're like a thousand miles apart. It's just that I still don't have internet at home and I just can't make nice posts.

But because I really wanted to make an update I spent the whole morning uploading some pictures from my iPhone to photobucket.com and went to Shibuya to have a nice coffee and internet access at Wired Cafe.

A lot of things happened but maybe it's just too much to write all of it. Also please excuse the lack of outfit posts lately. I have to find someone to take some photos haha. Well, this week I went to Shimokitazawa with a friend and she was like: "Hey, I love your Outfit Today!". And well yeah, it was kinda cool, so I asked her to actually take some photos for the blog but..after 3 hours running around Shimokita it go kinda too dark so we skipped that.

Shimokita is a very nice place if you want to go shopping for records or vintage stuff. There are also a lot of small designer shops and fancy hairdresser. So we just bought the most beautiful dress and scarf haha!

But yeah Outfit posts..well I don't go shopping much these days, but about a month ago I just found the perfect pair of shoes, which I gonna show you soon. They're just so perfect for me, so that want to wear them every day until the rest of my life.


(On our way to Azabu-Juban to see BOYS NOIZE!! It was just awesome)

Yesterday morning I also got the terrible news that the Korean model Kim Daul died at the age of only 20. Damn, I'm just one year older than her.
My roommate who is Korean herself cried a lot about her death, because she loved her. Shes's going to study fashion in Tokyo when she finished Japanese school. Same as me, so I really like her. Then I showed and translated her what German bloggers wrote about Daul's death and she got kinda really angry, saying that "those superficial bitches know shit about Daul", which..was kinda funny. She's so cool I tell you guys!




(I saw this in front of a Temple on my way to my hospital next to Tokyo Tower)


(and then I got a flu shot and my arm swelled to tripple it's size..)

I still didn't start my job and because that &$#&$#" of shop owner didn't call me the appointed day I'm pretty worried, so I'll go to the shop and see what's wrong today. If it turns out that he was bullshitting I have to find a new job very very very soon. Maybe I should really send my resume to AA, because they're looking for stuff in Tokyo right now. It sounds like fun, but I'm still not sure, because the pay is pretty low.


(mixing Jager and Qoo? No..just heating it up haha)


(we had that wonderful camping weekend 2 weeks ago. WE're the real campers. Never stop eating take 2!)
(ps: Marlene wir haben dich vermisst!)

So yeah..If I don't find a job soon, I'll have to kill myself..I mean seriously. I live in a shit place in shitty Nippori right now, while all I want is moving back to Kouenji, where I used to live for a year. It might sound kinda childish and also I know that there are much cooler places in Tokyo, but Koenji is a plce which always gave me a lot of strentgh. I had a really bad time last winter and I felt so weak, lonely and missunderstood, but being in Kouenji and leaving my house there every day kinda cheered me up. So there's like nothing that I want more then moving back.
So well..as soon as I got a job and my first salary I'll be back haha. I'm looking forward to pick up my weekly dose of Oranges at Makoto's shop again. Not a fruits shop haha.


(my boy doing some serious ゴロゴロ)


(may I introduce to you..my son. He's perfect, thx.)




(the two coolest thing I saw in Tokyo lately)

I'm kinda sorry for our posts lately are so not fashion, but yeah..whatever. I just want this baby to be alive!


(The sky that day was awesome)


(this place is always awesome)

That's it for now. Marlene, I miss you. Mama, I love you!

Der Vater (ein wenig gedämpft, mit nachgiebiger Bescheidenheit).
Nur um zu erfahren, Herr Direktor, ob sie sich wirklich so sehen, wie sie jetzt sind..., wie sie beispielsweise aus dem zeitlichen Abstand heraus den sehen, der sie einmal waren, mit allen Illusionen, die sie auch damals machten, mit allem, was es in Ihnen und um sie herum gab, wie ihnen dies damals erschien - und war, wirklich für sie war. - Nun, Herr Direktor: wenn Sie an diese Illusion, die sie sich jetzt nicht mehr machen, zurückdenken, an all diese Dinge, die Ihnen jetzt nicht mehr so "erscheinen", wie sie für sie einmal "waren", fühlen sie nicht, wie Ihnen der Boden - wobei ich nicht von diesen Bühnenbrettern spreche -, wie Ihnen der Boden unter den Füßen wankt, sobald Sie sich vorstellen, dass der, als der Sie sich jetzt fühlen, dass ihre ganze Wirklichkeit, so wie sie heute ist, dazu bestimmt ist, Ihnen morgen als Illusion zu erscheinen?

omg!! our poor little blog!!

No, I'm not dead. I just don't have internet in my room and it seems I can't use blogspot on my iPhone. Well I'm sure there is a way, but I haven't found it out yet. So if anybody knows how to use blogsport from an iPhone..I wanna know it!!!!!!
Okay well. I arrived in Tokyo safely about 3 weeks ago. School started and everything's going well so far. except from me not having a job yet...or well..no work permit.
But what might be more interesting for you guys might be the fact that there's Tokyo Fashion Week going on right now. Yesterday I went to Roppongi to see some shows and showrooms.
Eventhough I couldn't take many pictures I hope you'll like some small impressions of it.
Two brands I saw, which I can just highly recommend are FUMIO and COVER. Check them out if you want to, but I will post about them soon anyway!
As soon as I found the most convenient method to get my PC connected to the internet I gonna bother you with a lot of pictures, promised!
