It just never happened before. AND IT WON&#8217;T BE MY LAST VISIT!&nbsp; Sweets Paradise, short: Suipara, is a restaurant chain in Japan where you can eat as much sweets + cakes as you can in 90 minutes for 1500 Yen which is a pretty good deal! Normal cake slice is about 500 Yen so it&#8217;s really not expensive. I really really really enjoyed this, I ate tons of cakes, especially chocolate and cheese cake, because my father always made me cheese cake for my birthday and I felt it to be my duty to eat it as if I were home as usual :3 They also serve some sorts of pasta and salad, I used that to neutralize the heavy chocolate-cake taste in my mouth, lol.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-O4BWxhtKRr8\/T_RRo7WNeUI\/AAAAAAAADQc\/TApbHHkMQiI\/s1600\/262319_203888232992516_100001140214714_552222_5256940_n.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-O4BWxhtKRr8\/T_RRo7WNeUI\/AAAAAAAADQc\/TApbHHkMQiI\/s640\/262319_203888232992516_100001140214714_552222_5256940_n.jpg\" width=\"640\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/360;\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">They really offer a lot of different cakes&#8230; I&#8217;d say at least something around 30?<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">If you continue reading, there will be a lot purikura.

I had absolutely no idea where we went, Tokyo is freaking big, so, yeah. It could&#8217;ve been everywhere. We left at Shimbashi where I only change for the train bound for Odaiba island. It rained like hell and both were so nervous because they had no clue where to go xD (Usually I am the one making plans, routes and knowing where to go. I am a living navigator.) After asking and stumbling a bit around they finally found out where to go (wasn&#8217;t that easy via various staircases up &amp; down &amp; up again..) and when we crossed the last bridge, I saw a huge poster: <b>THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.<\/b><\/span><b> <\/b>I found out that the musical will launch around my birthday when Pachi and I went and watched The Lion King performance, but I had no idea!&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\">As a background: My mom is a great fan and we heard the soundtrack thousands of times when I was a child. However, we never managed to go and actually watch the play since it was never performed in Berlin but in other big cities. So I tooootally freaked out when seeing this and OHMYGOD I just love the music! And the play! And the drama!&nbsp; Both were afraid I wouldn&#8217;t like to go for some mysterious reasons I&#8217;ll never know but.. oh, I was so happy. I still am. I have so thoughtful friends, it&#8217;s unbelievable. I say something and they remember it for years o_O&#8221; So we went to watch the play and it was AWESOME. The singers were awesome as always and the stage was so detailed and complex! Ha, I am hearing *the song* right away while writing this post to stay in the right mood :&#8217;D It was about two and a half hours but I felt it was really short, time flew by so fast! I am extremely thankful that they fulfilled a wish I had once I was a child, thank you my loveliest \u2665\u3000They also sold extremely sweet merchandise, I had to get something as a souvenir to remember this birthday \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Aw5c2VPMLoI\/T_QKdJeKowI\/AAAAAAAADPs\/iy-VCUJAgTA\/s1600\/tpoto1.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"426\" data-src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Aw5c2VPMLoI\/T_QKdJeKowI\/AAAAAAAADPs\/iy-VCUJAgTA\/s640\/tpoto1.jpg\" width=\"640\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/426;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">I just had to get this compact mirror although I already have two mirrors.

Will review my new lenses soon! :&gt; &nbsp;I didn&#8217;t get any material presents in the morning because Pachi and my friend Susann planned something around 6 PM but didn&#8217;t tell me what it was to surprise me. My parents didn&#8217;t want to send me anything that I would just need to carry back home soon, so they gave me money and said I could spend it on whatever I need \ud83d\ude00 So that&#8217;s what I bought yesterday for myself: #1 Pok\u00e9mon White 2, #2 Cosme 24 Lipstick in Cranberry Juice, # 3Vis\u00e9e Glam Glow Eyeshadow in PK-1 and the #4 Majolica Majorca Compact Powder.&nbsp; What do you get when looking at this compilation? I&#8217;m a nerd but at least I might be a good-looking nerd LOL. I also bought a new dress and other little stuff like some fake eyelashes etc. I didn&#8217;t get that much because there was nothing I really desperately wanted except for the Pok\u00e9mon game \ud83d\ude00 Unfortunetaly I didn&#8217;t really had time to play it except for one hour in the train &gt;_&lt;&#8221; And I bought my first lipstick!

I still have money left so I may buy some things another time&#8230; didn&#8217;t want to spend money just because it was my birthday, still plenty of time to waste money! \ud83d\ude00 We lurked around Shinjuku for a while, did hilarious Purikura and decided around 4 PM that it would be time to eat something and our choice was SWEETS PARADISE \u2665\u3000To be honest, this was my first time. It just never happened before. AND IT WON&#8217;T BE MY LAST VISIT!&nbsp; Sweets Paradise, short: Suipara, is a restaurant chain in Japan where you can eat as much sweets + cakes as you can in 90 minutes for 1500 Yen which is a pretty good deal! Normal cake slice is about 500 Yen so it&#8217;s really not expensive. I really really really enjoyed this, I ate tons of cakes, especially chocolate and cheese cake, because my father always made me cheese cake for my birthday and I felt it to be my duty to eat it as if I were home as usual :3 They also serve some sorts of pasta and salad, I used that to neutralize the heavy chocolate-cake taste in my mouth, lol. They really offer a lot of different cakes&#8230; I&#8217;d say at least something around 30? If you continue reading, there will be a lot purikura. Like, you know, really A LOT purikura \ud83d\ude00 Susann recorded our eating process \ud83d\ude00 Susann&#8217;s first choice: FRUIT OVERLOAD! They had a chocolate fountain! Which I failed. I held my plate under without noticing and chocolate dripped everywhere.. T.T&#8221; and that&#8217;s&#8230;. when our 90 minutes ended! It was delicious and I didn&#8217;t feel as sick as I expectet myself to feel :3 After finishing tons and tons of cakes we entered Yamanote Line again heading for unknown. I had absolutely no idea where we went, Tokyo is freaking big, so, yeah. It could&#8217;ve been everywhere. We left at Shimbashi where I only change for the train bound for Odaiba island. It rained like hell and both were so nervous because they had no clue where to go xD (Usually I am the one making plans, routes and knowing where to go. I am a living navigator.) After asking and stumbling a bit around they finally found out where to go (wasn&#8217;t that easy via various staircases up &amp; down &amp; up again..) and when we crossed the last bridge, I saw a huge poster: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I found out that the musical will launch around my birthday when Pachi and I went and watched The Lion King performance, but I had no idea!&nbsp; As a background: My mom is a great fan and we heard the soundtrack thousands of times when I was a child. However, we never managed to go and actually watch the play since it was never performed in Berlin but in other big cities. So I tooootally freaked out when seeing this and OHMYGOD I just love the music! And the play! And the drama!&nbsp; Both were afraid I wouldn&#8217;t like to go for some mysterious reasons I&#8217;ll never know but.. oh, I was so happy. I still am. I have so thoughtful friends, it&#8217;s unbelievable. I say something and they remember it for years o_O&#8221; So we went to watch the play and it was AWESOME.

Colorcrrush","og_description":"I know I said I won&#8217;t post anything before my birthday and then came up with four(?) personal posts or something like that, I&#8217;m sorry! It was real trouble when I changed my blog URL, honestly, I am not doing that ever again! If I knew that before, I&#8217;d rather&#8230; but well, cannot be helped! I believe I could gather a lot of my frequent readers together, I am really sorry for the inconvenience I caused T_T&#8221; I am super happy though I did not lose you all! :&#8217;D So yesterday was MY BIRTHDAY! \ud83d\ude00 For everybody who&#8217;s too lazy to read the whole post, here is my birthday in a nutshell with all key elements: To start off, Pachi and I bombed our whole room full with cherry blossom crackers at midnight!! They had a large amount at Donki&#8217;s and until now the whole floor of our room is covered with pink paper cherry blossoms\u3000\u2665 I skyped with my mothers (yes, I have more than one!) who waited until midnight to sing me a birthday song (: Pachi and I went up at 10 AM and went to Tokyo around 1 PM. That&#8217;s how I looked that day, I couldn&#8217;t stop grinning because I was so happy already! \ud83d\ude00 Superhappy Sam is happy. And older. Will review my new lenses soon! :&gt; &nbsp;I didn&#8217;t get any material presents in the morning because Pachi and my friend Susann planned something around 6 PM but didn&#8217;t tell me what it was to surprise me. My parents didn&#8217;t want to send me anything that I would just need to carry back home soon, so they gave me money and said I could spend it on whatever I need \ud83d\ude00 So that&#8217;s what I bought yesterday for myself: #1 Pok\u00e9mon White 2, #2 Cosme 24 Lipstick in Cranberry Juice, # 3Vis\u00e9e Glam Glow Eyeshadow in PK-1 and the #4 Majolica Majorca Compact Powder.&nbsp; What do you get when looking at this compilation? I&#8217;m a nerd but at least I might be a good-looking nerd LOL. I also bought a new dress and other little stuff like some fake eyelashes etc. I didn&#8217;t get that much because there was nothing I really desperately wanted except for the Pok\u00e9mon game \ud83d\ude00 Unfortunetaly I didn&#8217;t really had time to play it except for one hour in the train &gt;_&lt;&#8221; And I bought my first lipstick! MY VERY FIRST LIPSTICK, I was so excited, aaah. I will give him the honor of an own blog post, lol. I still have money left so I may buy some things another time&#8230; didn&#8217;t want to spend money just because it was my birthday, still plenty of time to waste money! \ud83d\ude00 We lurked around Shinjuku for a while, did hilarious Purikura and decided around 4 PM that it would be time to eat something and our choice was SWEETS PARADISE \u2665\u3000To be honest, this was my first time. It just never happened before. AND IT WON&#8217;T BE MY LAST VISIT!&nbsp; Sweets Paradise, short: Suipara, is a restaurant chain in Japan where you can eat as much sweets + cakes as you can in 90 minutes for 1500 Yen which is a pretty good deal! Normal cake slice is about 500 Yen so it&#8217;s really not expensive. I really really really enjoyed this, I ate tons of cakes, especially chocolate and cheese cake, because my father always made me cheese cake for my birthday and I felt it to be my duty to eat it as if I were home as usual :3 They also serve some sorts of pasta and salad, I used that to neutralize the heavy chocolate-cake taste in my mouth, lol. They really offer a lot of different cakes&#8230; I&#8217;d say at least something around 30? If you continue reading, there will be a lot purikura. Like, you know, really A LOT purikura \ud83d\ude00 Susann recorded our eating process \ud83d\ude00 Susann&#8217;s first choice: FRUIT OVERLOAD! They had a chocolate fountain! Which I failed. I held my plate under without noticing and chocolate dripped everywhere.. T.T&#8221; and that&#8217;s&#8230;. when our 90 minutes ended! It was delicious and I didn&#8217;t feel as sick as I expectet myself to feel :3 After finishing tons and tons of cakes we entered Yamanote Line again heading for unknown. I had absolutely no idea where we went, Tokyo is freaking big, so, yeah. It could&#8217;ve been everywhere. We left at Shimbashi where I only change for the train bound for Odaiba island. It rained like hell and both were so nervous because they had no clue where to go xD (Usually I am the one making plans, routes and knowing where to go. I am a living navigator.) After asking and stumbling a bit around they finally found out where to go (wasn&#8217;t that easy via various staircases up &amp; down &amp; up again..) and when we crossed the last bridge, I saw a huge poster: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I found out that the musical will launch around my birthday when Pachi and I went and watched The Lion King performance, but I had no idea!&nbsp; As a background: My mom is a great fan and we heard the soundtrack thousands of times when I was a child. However, we never managed to go and actually watch the play since it was never performed in Berlin but in other big cities. So I tooootally freaked out when seeing this and OHMYGOD I just love the music! And the play! And the drama!&nbsp; Both were afraid I wouldn&#8217;t like to go for some mysterious reasons I&#8217;ll never know but.. oh, I was so happy. I still am. I have so thoughtful friends, it&#8217;s unbelievable. I say something and they remember it for years o_O&#8221; So we went to watch the play and it was AWESOME. The singers were awesome as always and the stage was so detailed and complex!
