KAT is the face behind !...Misskatv Beauty Straight Forwards...!

I discovered her blog some weeks ago, so I'm kind of a new follower. She's the same age as I am and from the Philippines. She's describing herself as a Shopaholic and I guess she's just being honest, haha. According to her latest blog post she bought 20 nail polishes in 1 week! Not bad!! ♥

Maybe you wonder "Eh? Why nail polishes?". Well, she's currently obsessed with nail design and she really does a great job!

♥ Take a look at her blog, enjoy her nail designs and share you thoughts on everything beauty-related and more ♥

So now it's time to talk about myself...alright, here we go:

I guess everyone knows that I'm 21 years old & currently living in Germany.

People who read this are readers of my blog..so I don't have to describe my blog right now...right? Haha~

Well let's talk about my current life:

So far this year is totally making me happy.

I've been to Tokyo, completed 2 internships, I've been concert staff & got accepted at one of my favorite universities.

Uni is going to start in October, so I decided to start a job and save some money until then...♥

Fortunately I could start the new job last wednesday, yay!

I'm a waitress now, haha...let's see how this will turn out...!

There are still lots of blog posts waiting for me to publish them...time seems to run away...I'm sorry!

It's sunday, 8 am...♥ I hope everyone out there enjoyed their weekends!!

Ah! Speaking about enjoyment!!

I'm going to attend a few concerts in the coming weeks:

25th June - Maximum the Hormone

4th July - X Japan

13th August - Dir en Grey

Oh and one more real life fact:

I gained 2 penpals during the last weeks...

Books, Beauty & Alpaca ♥

I guess everyone out there already knows and loves these cute alpacas:

I got mine (including a wonderful colored foxtail ♥) at Sami's

アルパカッソ★dreaming

 ♥ Go get your own, too ♥

Furthermore I ordered some Japanese cosmetic products via Alpha Beauty (ebay store):

Kose Selecty Princess Quick Oil Blotting Paper 160pcs ♥ 

Received my first oil blotting papers by a penpal and started to like them a lot~

Bison Bakkanto White & Volcano Clay Bath Salt

"This is a special series of bath salt with concept that, a hot bath treatment makes you sweating, helps reduce fat and with skincare benefit. The carbonated granules generate bubbles & sound from water like some kinds of happy music, give you a great bathing experience and enjoyment."

Looking forward to try them a lot!!

LUX Super Rich Shine Shampoo & Conditioner

Bought the test version because I really want to know how my hair reacts to this sort of LUX shampoo...

My hair tends to get oily pretty fast so I'm careful with 'Shine' products.

Canmake MakeMeHappy Hair Essence Oil Peach

"A super trendy hair essence oil especially good for hair ends and colored / permed hairs, with treatment performance, hair conditioning, and against dryness, available in different fragrances."

Looking forward to try this as well!

I own a lot of hair care products due to my super damaged hair...so there'll be enough products to compare with, haha.

LUX Black Diamond Series Super Damage Repair Shampoo, Conditioner & Treatment Bonus

Aaah ♥ finally LUX Super Damage Repair again ♥

I tried this shampoo last year (or 2 years ago..?) and instantly fell in love.

The smell, the effect, the look...everything.

♥ Anyone interested in Reviews? ♥

Now onto the books:

I finally started to learn Japanese some weeks ago, YAY!

First I started to learn how to write and read Hiragana + Katakana.

After completing this lesson I moved on to this book:

"Konnichiwa Japan! ドイツからこんにちは!" by Keiko Oshima-Gerisch

I'm currentlly at Lesson 2 and I like the book so far.

Can't wait to learn more...♥

ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ

Another book I recently ordered:

"Freakshow" by James St. James

Ordered it via Amazon.com...seller stated it's "used" but "in a good condition".

Erm....good condition? What? (￣へ ￣ 凸

This is definitely NOT what I call "in a good condition".

"WITHDRAWN - Howard County Library"

So this is what I bought:

An old, damaged, withdrawn, american library book.

＼(*｀∧´)／

I didn't pay much, but....it's quite annoying.

I don't like my books to be in such a horrid condition...this is breaking my book heart.

Hanami 2011 - Cosplay #2

Next German Anime Convention I'm attending:

Hanami 2011 - Cosplay

Alright, let's take a look at the 2nd part:

COSPLAY

I don't know why there are so many enemies of western Cosplayers...I think there are definitely some STUNNING cosplays - even outside of Japan.

Some examples:

 ...Kuroshitsuji ♥

 ...and Kuroshitsuji again.

 Argh...I'm definitely a fan of military Cosplays.

 AMAZING!

..and a whole body shot of the girl from the beginning ♥.

Next Part coming soon ♥.

Hanami 2011 - Backstage ♥

I'm a little bit late, but...

I've been to a German Anime-Convention from 7th to 8th May ♥

It's called 'Hanami' and it's a rather small, but great ♥, convention.

о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

I'm a regular visitor of some German Anime-Conventions for years & sometimes I'm even a part of their crew:

Best Crew Members 2011!!

[Maxi & Me]

(￣▽+￣*)

[Sorry for looking awkward, it has been around 30°C around those days...]

[and erm...what's make up btw? (not wearing any make up at all haha, guess you can tell)]

Well, this time I'd like to let you take a quick look at the backstage area of a small Anime-Con in Germany:

Usually the 'Con-Office' took place in another room...this time it has been right in the basement.

Con-Offices are filled with super nerdy guys.

Of course they can't survive without their own PC's.

..it was funny to see their desktops. Really.

A huge part of my job was...

...giving out microphones to the artists. 

Very important!! 

(°∀°)b

Fortunately I was able to open a door, because it's usually really hot backstage...

Part of the dressing room.

Yeah, take off your clothes b*tches!!!

γ(▽´ )ﾂヾ( ｀▽)ゞ

Favorite screen:

Video Control FTW!

Take a close look at the mittle...see two guys dancing around?

Yes, I call them my friends ♥.

And last but not least:

Maxi at work.

Next part: Cosplay ♥
