『2014|03|14』 A hectic day in blue flames and spending money!

Last friday, the 14th of march, was one of the most annoying and hectic days ever. Mostly it was my own fault, but we had to hand in our final exam presentation, which we have to hold at the beginning of april. Since I wasn't finished at all, I worked the whole week, day and night and still had to do a few more things on friday morning. I decided to skip classes that day and still hoped to get finished and be at Neo Tokyo in time. I was wrong. I wasn't in time, but I decided that it's much more important to finish the presentation and give it the last touch ups. (I tell you, you should always start in time, even when you're super lazy and don't want to do it. >_>)


Well, I finally finished it and while working I skyped with Riki who was already on her way to Neo Tokyo. You want to know what was so special this day at Neo Tokyo?  Because of the Leipziger Buchmesse/ Manga Comic Con (Leipzig Book Fair) and the already announced appearance of Kazue Kato, the mangaka of Blue Exorcist, Kazé decided to hold a signing session at Neo Tokyo Berlin. Ever since this got announced I wanted to go there, but then my school decided to make this day the final date. Which was super annoying.

my thesis I'll discuss in the presentation XD" 

While Riki was on her way there, I tweaked my presentation a bit more and finally finished it. Had to put on some make up and was finally able to leave. While I knew I wouldn't be in time, I still decided to go to Neo Tokyo. 1st I had to give Riki something and 2nd I wanted to buy the newly released mini art book of Blue Exorcist.

Finally there, nearly an hour too late, I arrived at Neo Tokyo and met Riki. We then sat together for a while and talked. She told me how cute Kazue Kato behaved and how the signing went. After looking around quite a bit she gave me the poster and button which everyone got and I decided to finally pick up the mini art book. Before I was able to pay she put the signed Shikishi on my bag and I was like "What's going on???" (O___O) She decided to gave it to me, because she knows how much I love Ao no Exorcist. *^* I was nearly crying... (T^T) That was just too cute and lovely of her. I still feel like the happiest little princess on earth!!!

and the button with the same design

the signed Shikishi *^*

and the mini art book
The art book is so pretty, even when it only has a few pages, but they are all in color and of high quality. I'm so in love with it. 

After I paid we decided to leave. She had to go home to do some more work for school and I headed to school to hand in my presentation.




I arrived at my school after only twenty minutes and had to wait there until the lessons were over to hand in my stuff to the person in charge. Finally I was through and started my little shopping spree around Kudamm. ^o^ Since you can reach Kudamm in only seven minutes with the bus from Wilmersdorfer Str. I was there in no time. The weather was so lovely, sunny and warm. Just so nice to be outside. I went to a few shops and even shopped a little. I wasn't planning on buying something for me and only a present for my friend in Vienna, but in the end I even got three things vor myself and the rest of her presents on another day. XP 

First I went to C&A and I already found something I liked. Then I had the colour problem of my life. XD And I took a pic and send it to Riki to ask her which I should buy.

mint or a salmon pinkish colour???

In the end I decided myself for just one of them. ^^

After that I went to Karstadt and bought two small candles from Yankee Candles and two glasses from Depot to put the candles in. 
The last one was Pimkie and only because they had a sale going on. I even found the dress I was looking for and it was on sale too. I tried it on a second time and decided to buy it. ^^ It's not black, but a dark blue and has a cute flower print on it.

After strolling in the sun and looking through a few shops I decided it was time to go home. But before that I took a little break to get some energy back. ^^
I needed some rest, because I was so tired and exhausted from working through the nights and strolling around. I decided to try one of the new frappés at McCafé.

surfing the iPad and having a Mango-Yogurt frappé

everything I got that day
I'm still so happy that the day turned out to be a good one. Even when I wasn't able to attend the signing. I'm so thankful that Riki decided to give me er Shikishi. *^* ♥♥♥
