RUSH cover dance group / Evol – We are a bit different / K-Pop dance group cover contest in Bremen

So we’ve put a whole lot of effort into this dance for many training sessions now… for over half a year… and this weekend we got to show the world that
WE ARE A BIT DIFFERENT 
(EVOL)
.
Our Kpop dance group RUSH  drove all the way to Bremen (3-4 hours in the car :P) to participate in this contest and guess what… we got 3rd place ! Yeaaaaa !
Well, gotta show you my weekend in photos now :) With no more than a few words ~
And NOW – it’s showtime !
Enjoy ~ 

Yes, that was our very first time dancing on a stage in front of a crowd… it was so much fun and it gave me so much motivation ! It was awesome to dance in front of all these people (most of them also participants of the contest!

After that day we met up with some of Momo’s friends and well, look what happened :D All I want to comment on that is : they earned 75€ in a few minutes doing what they love – dance XD NICEEEEE <3

Did not get onto any photos… I was the photographer after all :D

And now for the end of todays blogpost : PHOTOBOMBING LIKE A BOSS .
So that’s it for this weekend !
I hope you all have a lovely summer by now ! <3

Excursion to Vaals / St. Benediktusberg / architectural studies on the road

Last week we ended up here somehow :
Just look at how lonely the tiny bus stop is. Not even a car crossing the road. 
Yup, so we came to take a look at a church (St. Benediktusberg) near Vaals.
I love how the light comes into the corridor of wood <3
Our objective was to find a nice place to situate our houses (for one person) for the next project in Raumgestaltung !
So I also wandered through the forest to take some pictures but it was rather dark in there :D
I want to place my house in the woods because though the the resident is living alone in the house he would never get lonely because of all the life surrounding him.
In spring he would wake to the lovely tweets of the early birds, in summer he would see the listen to owls at night, in autumn he would notice squirrels preparing for the cold and in winter he would have chances to spot them.
I’d even say – rather a house in the woods than a house left alone in the middle of a green field.
Would it be me living in the house, I would actually seriously pick the wood housing :)
After the excursion I took a bus to Vaals to do a little shopping at the Albert Heijn supermarket there. There are soooo many lovely things!
Just look at the cakes here :
And nowhere near expensive, I swear <3
Gotta get a car to drive there daily, hell yeaaaa !

Japantag 2013 aka J-Day / japan + Düsseldorf + sun + wind + rain + Championsleague + friends !

Japantag 2013 aka J-Day
was just about last saturday! Guess what, the weather . . . was suddenly quite nice… but during the day it turned its back to us once again and it started raining every other hour… WTFH.
 . . .
Well, the sun was shining and the wind was blowing plus the rain was coming and going . . . still had a lovely day with everyone !
 
 
Here’s the summary of the day in photos

Backstage of the ADAC-stage, right before the cosplay contest started :) A friend of mine also participated in this so she was there and I followed her backstage XD

Here some photos of each candidate of the contest , maybe you’ll recognize the manga/anime the are from – I don’t really know that many to tell you

From Wedding Peach the (obviously) pink-haired main character, the most annoying one :D

From PoT – Prince of Tennis :D That arrogant captain from another team !

Also from PoT but I forgoz who… Sanada? Not sure…

Lulu <3 Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass as Emperor <3 I love that anime and I sooooo love him !

Some character from Final Fantasy . . . I’m no Playstation owner and I never got to play any FF except FF III, IV, X and XIII and XIII-2 … and only the beginnings of those :D But isn’t she the queen or something who dies early??? Sry if this is a spoiler . . .

Next is a character I also really reaaallyyyy love from a manga /anime I really reaaaaallyyyy love : Perona from One Piece! 


Coming next is Ciel from Kuroshitsuji (or so) aka Black Butler, an anime I never watched :D But I know how famous it is… too much squishy little girly boy for me, srsly…

Up next is also another character from PoT, oh no, it’s the New Prince of Tennis :D (NPoT…??)

Character I don’t know :D Since I did not watch or read it . . . yet <3

Ok and now comes Kobato from Kobato (Clamp… I love CLAMP !!) Her cosplay was soooo greatly done <3

Also from CLAMP :

Princess Tomoyo or so… I forgot

Another character from CLAMP who I srsly don’t know but I would love to! This asian girl came from Denmark to participate in this contest (after all, this first price is quite HUGE, tell you later about it :)

She moved so nicely, as if she practiced for it for a long time <3 Really good presentation !

Also from Kuroshitsuji - a Shinigami ???

I must admit I never ever played a game where she appeared but I still know of her – here’s Midna form Zelda :

Coming next is the WINNER of the contest and also the winner of the ticket straight to Japan !

Here

Kobato !

Yaaaaay <3 So happy when she texted me, that she really WON the competition! I’m so happy for her! Japan! Oh yeaaaa, she really did a great job and she soooo deserved it *A* I really envy people like her, who can make such awesome cosplays… <3
In the following I’m just gonna show you some photos taken that day with minimal commentary form my side :) Hope you like them !

Photo session with some maids from our café <3

Just remembered how some people wanted a photo of me, even though I did not appear in a cosplay or whatsoever… after asking why one of them told me that he wanted a photo of me because I look sooooo japanese. OK. Watashi Jenny desu. Watashi chugoku jin . . . !

(Dunno if that’s correct japanese, but after all, I AM CHINESE and not japanese ~ )

Instead of staying next to the river and freeze to death we went somewhere (a spanish restaurant for instance) to eat, warm up (a bit :P) and WATCH THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAME!!! WHOOOOOO <3 FC BAYER WON ! CHEAAAA <3 Nice game :)

AND OF COURSE, what cannot be missed out : the food we had there:

Vegetarian plate for 10€… ok, I got to watch the CL without having to stand or freeze, so it was soooo worth it !
Well, that’s it <3 Hope you liked my post!
For those who noticed – I stopped with the monthly food posts since I didn’t have many nice food to show you… I don’t want to post trash to show you XD… OK, for some people my whole blog might appear as a trash blog … still I will continue blogging about what I want ;D ! Keep on going, too! Gotta eat some instant noodles now, which I will not post :P Starving over here!!

Dokomi 2013 part 2 / TIME TO RUMBLE ! NANO !

Here’s the second photo-heavy post about the DoKomi 2013! 
 
ENJOY <3
 Can’t unsee it . . . Eileen looks just like a cat to me ;A; !
 OK ,  girls ! Time to get serious ! IT’S TIME TO RUMBLE !

Lovely and pink-haired-as-always Miss Neko <3
 She looked awesome in that Yukata <3 (Or is it Kimono . . . ?)
And now . . .  tehe . . .  some exclusive photos while the maidcafe is busy
 Whaaa – I looooove this photo <3 Dunno who took this with my cam, sry, but you did a great job !
Ok and now . . .
Time for the cakes !
Massive amount of chocolate cornets and melon pans FTW !!!
 Cream desserts <3
Now to the final photos :
Maid Tecky being “photogenic” for once XD
Cute <3
Nano signed for me
 (Yes, her! The NANO singing the opening of Btooom! )
It’s the back of my iPhone case , Momo’s idea :3
Ok, I have to be honest at this point. I would like to put more effort and spent so much more time in these posts of the Dokomi and the (yet to be made) post about the Japantag (JDay!) . . . and it’s not just the time that is lacking but also something very important yet sad that happened to me the last week . . . I really hope that I can move on so that I won’t get stuck in this miserable phase of brake up.
Yes. Momo and me broke up , it’s hard for both of us and yet very complicated . . . we still love each other, but sometimes love can’t overcome everything.
Sorry for hurting you (if you read this, Momo). I want to write so many things to you, which I cannot tell you in person. But no, I spare you XD Srsly, it’s no use and the most important things have alwready been said, so it’s ok :)
I really love these photos, so I had to post them, sorry :D

Hey everyone !
Maybe I’d rather say :
Okaerinasai mase, goshujinsama, ojousama !
 
Yes, the DoKomi 2013 is over … too fast

It was soooo much fun! Personally my highlight was the nano concert ! Plus an exklusive giveaway… I’ll tell you what it is in my next post! This blog post is only about the day before the Dokomi! Friday! That’s the day with all the preparation and also very important!
So here are some exklusive behind the scenes photographies <3

Le me with hipster glasses . . . and Ton wearing them :D He looks like a real nerd with those XD

Aimi and Cinja taking a selca while others are hardworking . Tss :P

We had some sticker albums to collect our portrait stickers for sale – the customers had to beat us in Jan-Ken-Pon in order to get those :) But I always used scissor first.. dunno why… somehow the customers knew and beat me all the time ;A;

Lovely table enumeration :)

And now that is the THRONE for our dear customers, only for taking photos with us :)

Gathering around the table where some maids still had to cut out (!) the stickers… really was hardwork !

Chocolate muffin – INTO MY TUMMY !!!! <3

Now look at these lovely tv screens and what they play … tehe <3

This is the host club – also with a majestic throne :) But not with the roses :D

So lovely <3 Junmei, May, Cinja and Aimi <3
