Hanami Con Ludwigshafen

Hey guys (^-^)v

Finally I'm back !

Sorry it took so long again but my second exam period started..

it was really hard but now it's over and I won't have any exams until October \(*-*)/

 There still are some thing I want to share with you guys such as some entries 

about my time in Japan and, of course, about Japanday in Düsseldorf this year. 

But let's start with another Convention ^.^

 As my boyfriend and I moved to another part of Germany last year,
we looked around a bit to find out if there are some nice conventions near our new location.
And we found: Hanami Convention in Ludwigshafen !
We live very close to that city now, so we decided to visit it ^.^
As we were very late with buying tickets, we, unfortunately, didn't get any Saturday
or weekend tickets anymore, just a few for Sunday were left.

 Still we bought them and made our way to the convention on Sunday.
In beforehand, I have to state that I didn't take many photos
because my allergy struck hard again that day and I wasn't able to 
take many photos as I hardly saw anything and my nose was running all day q.q
But we still had a nice time ^.^
I decided to wear a Pastel Goth inspired outfit again ♥

a bit decoration to cover my messy bedroom..

It was the first time I wore my very first milklim item:
this purple faux leather jeacket ♥

I love to use my Kuromi bag for outfits like this ^.^
Also, the weather was really nice that day, the sun shone and no clouds anywhere.
(sadly this weather goes hand in hand with a high pollen count..) 

When we arrived, it was already quite crowded but, nevertheless,
we took our time to see what the many sellers had to offer.
They did not only sell their goods inside the building but outside were many boothes, too. 
A very good thing for those who didn't get tickets anymore x3
 

While standing at one of the boothes, a girl handed a flyer to me
to promote a performance of her show group.
The description sounded interesting and therefore we decided to go ^.^
Unless most show groups performances, this one was a play in a self-invented universe:

The show group's name is XnY and their play's name is 'Universe'.
I filmed a small part of one dance scene for you:

After the performance, we went outside again and found 
something I've always wanted to try: Taiyaki ♥

Taiyaki are Japanese waffles in form of a fish and traditionally filled with anko (sweet red bean paste). When I was in Japan, I saw a small taiyaki-stall in the street but I was so ful that time and thought I will find another one... but, unfortunately, I didn't q.q
But now at the con I could finally try it *-*

The queue in front of the stall was quite long and it took a while until we could order
because the stall was run by just two people with two taiyaki makers.
I was so much looking forward to it that I photographed nearly everything the cook did:

They offered four different flavours:
Anko
Chocolate pudding
Vanilla pudding
Cheese

We chose one of each flavour ^.^
And every single one was so delicious ♡＾▽＾♡

After eating and relaxing a little bit, we went to the shopping area inside the building.
As everyone else was in the big hall to watch the German Cosplay Contest at that moment,
we could see everything at the boothes and could peacefully look at and buy stuff x3

my boyfriend likes SNes a lot ^.^

so many cute plushies *-* ♥

 As soon as the Cosplay Contest ended, it got very crowded everywhere again.
As it has also got late, we dicided to head home again.
 And shortly before, we bought some snack:

these Chocolate Dorayaki were so delicious *Q*

 On our way home, I even met one of my supervisiors from work.
Although I was wearing a wig, she still recognized me and
ask if we went to Hanami Con. She said, she herself was not interested
in 'this anime stuff' but she liked the way I dress  (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ 

Well, this was our day at the Hanami Con ^-^
We had lots of fun and want to go there again next year !

Last but not least, I want to show you what be bought:

what I bought ^.^

Azusa from k-on ^-^

a cute Salamence plush ^-^

there were some boothes with art pieces from yet unknown manga artist...

...one of them designed this cute cup (and many more) ^.^

And my boyfriend bought this Don Quichotte de Flamingo figure from One Piece ^.^
 

We are already looking forward to next year's Hanami Con ^.^
Thank you for reading ♥
bye bye ( ･ω･)ﾉ

LBM/MCC - Manga Comic Convention

Hey guys (^.^)v

I can't believe it ∑(O_O；) I'm writing this blog now
for just a little bit more than a year and I've got already
50 followers and nearly 5000 page views ( •᷄ὤ•᷅)？
I would never have expected so much positive feedback...
thanks to each and every one of you (♥ω♥ ) ~♪

now back to the topic x3 and I'm sorry I'm so late with this entry,
but I was quite busy and lazy the last weeks...

so the saturday before last I've visited the LBM (Leipzig Book Fair) or

Manga Comic Convention (MCC) as it's the new name x3

The last years the manga/comic-part of Leipzig Book Fair

always shared an exibition hall with the exhibitors 

who published books for children.

But this year it was different: the manga-part got an

exhibition hall on their own and so the organisers also

gave it the new name 'Manga Comic Convention'.

I went there with my mom, my boyfriend and my friend Rinny ^.^

my boyfriend always looks so grumpy in photos q.q

We had a lot of fun there, but I did not take many photos.

There were so many amazing cosplayers and other

gorgeously dressed people, but it was so terribly crowded q.q

 Also I felt the time flew by like nothing o.o

I thought we've just arrived when we already had to leave...

But now, here are the few photos I took ^.^

First we visited the booth of Liz who sold her wonderful

Melty Wish jewelry ♥

(you can scroll down to see what I bouth from her ^.^)

I love her jewelry so much and already own some pieces ^.^

Next I saw some awesome cosplayers *-*

Mejibray \(*-*)/

Ace and Brook ^.^

Mio from k-on

Remember the entry about me playing pokémon X?
Since I've won the league for the first time,
I changend my team and am now doing the journey again
with a team just consisting of Eevee evolutions ^.^  
so I was very happy to see some cosplayers
cosplaying my favourite versions of Eevee ^.^

Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon ♥
I even bought myself some plushies of Leafeon and Sylveon *-*

my mom had to support from the back so they don't fall over.

and here are the other things I bought:

a candy hairclip from Melty Wish, a lucky cat phone strap 
and a pair of handmade origami crane earrings ♥

Right after I purchased it, I attached the hairclip to my outfit ^.^

and last but not least:
the awesome stuff my mom purchased *-*

a deathnote mouse pad and a hide plushie! d(=^･ω･^=)b

ok, that's it for today ^.^
I think we made some pretty nice purchases x3
bye bye (^.^)v

Christmas and stuff x3

Hey guys ^.^

did you have nice holidays? x3
mine started pretty stressful, because I did not have a single present when my holidays started and had to do this all in just a few days ^.^''
but it was manageable x3

do you know this book?

I think it's only published in german, but it was my favourite book 
when I was a child and it still is ^.^
it is about a young dog's first christmas and it's written so cute and funny,
I can really just recommend it to you ^.^

a few days before christmas I also managed to bake some cookies ^.^
 

 I also got some really cool things for christmas *-*
for example this one:

a shark earpircing *-*
it's so cute, it looks it bites my earlope ^.^

some days before christmas we also had a small 'bubble tea meet up'
at our local BoboQ-store x3

and all my friends played pokemon x or y all the time..
I want to play pokemon, too q.q
and for christmas I got some money from my family so I can finally afford
a nintendo 3 ds *-*
I want to play pokemon so badly >.<

~ ☆ ~ ☆ ~ ☆ ~

I also got a cool new thing from my boyfriend,
not for christmas, but some weeks before ^.^
I always get very cold hands when I'm doing stuff at my pc,
so he got me this hand-warming usb-fish x3

you just plug it in the usb-port of your pc,
place the pc-mouse and your hand in it and soon
it's getting comfortably warm ^.^

~ ☆ ~ ☆ ~ ☆ ~

 I'm really sucking at connenctions (as you might have noticed..),
so here is just the next topic x'D

as a vegetarian I don't want to eat gelatine, 
but I totally love marshmallows ♥
and I finally found some without gelatine *-*
they are expensive as f***, but worth it ^.^

the sweets in the picture are all vegan
and totally delicious ^.^

~ ☆ ~ ☆ ~ ☆ ~

and finally I still have some 'outfit'-pictures for those who are interested
 first, two every day ones:

 

and another one from the animexx-meeting this month:

I hope you like them ^.^
and that's it for today
I hope you enjoy the last days of the year
and would be happy to see you here next year again (^.^)v
