  3. Being at work and listening to this concert today, I feel so privileged that I had the chance to be there live. :cloud:

      I mostly use that when it comes to dancing, because that's how I dance. :lmfao::taz:

  6. My personalized Release Radar on Spotify today... Thank you so much Spotify, I would almost miss the new Mika song! :facepalm:

  7. I know it's the anniversary of the explosion in Beirut today but I really needed to hear Mika's voice right now... :cloud: I was so nervous and stressed out because in 24 hours I'm travelling for the first time since the pandemic started and of course I'm excited but at the same time, I felt overwhelmed because there are so many things you have to take care of nowadays. For a moment I lost the joy and felt horrible. Hearing Mika singing Heroes calmed me down and brought me to tears but in a good way. I feel so much better now, Mika's soft voice really is the best tranquilizer in the world. :tea:

     

     

  8. I'm looking for an English native speaker who wouldn't mind to read the abstract of my diploma thesis (only about 170 words) and let me know if it's fine. Anybody here?

      @silver Thank you so much, I sent you a pm... :original:

  9. I must confess I have a new favourite singer lately... :sweatdrop:

     

    His name is Tico and he is a parrot. :biggrin2: I love to watch him while writing my diploma thesis.

      You mean you don't stay in apartments like that?

  11. Recently I discovered this page thanks to my Spanish classes, it's called Lyrics Training and you can practice different languages by filling song lyrics while listening to the music video. I use it for Spanish but today I discovered there are also some songs by Mika... I guess it would be a good tool for him to revise his own lyrics before the next tour (without the audio of course). :teehee:

  12. Bad news: My old PC monitor stopped working today. :crybaby:

    Good news: Even though the shops are still closed, I managed to order a new one and got it immediately and it's even bigger so I can see Mika in higher resolution now! :biggrin2:

      That's a good example for the fact that bad things can also have a good part. :naughty:

  13. Update: I finally got the beads on Friday and spent today making one earring, it took me hours but it's finally done... Now I have to start making the second one. :sweatdrop:

  14. I spent over an hour yesterday trying to choose the right colours of beads for my next rainbow project inspired by the Revelation Tour... :teehee: And this is the best I got. The order is on the way! :cheer:

  15. If you're looking for a show to brighten up your days and you do have Netflix, watch Julie and the Phantoms, believe me, you won't regret it! :biggrin2: The series is a bit like a musical and it's so uplifting with a great story, lovely characters and catchy music. I finished it in two days, unfortunately it's quite short... Do you have any recommendations for other uplifting series/movies? I need more right now.

      @Irem Aytepe Oh yeah, I've totally forgot about that one even though it has been on my list... Thank you!

      Pity we can't visit him

    3. giraffeandy

      giraffeandy

      @Starlight That's great! Is he just studying/working there for now or does he live there permanently? Do you visit him often (when it's possible, not now unfortunately :()? 

    4. Starlight

      Starlight

      He's working and living there. :) I haven't visited him yet, he prefers to come home. :naughty: We planned to visit him, but then the pandemic started... :dunno: But as soon as it's possible we'll visit him of course!

    :yay:Wishing you all the best, Sara! :hug:

    I miss the days when it was possible to decide at the last minute that you cross the borders of three countries to see your favourite musician live, when all you had to do was to buy a bus ticket, book a hotel room and enjoy the trip... :making-a-wish:

      Apart from seeing my friends and family, concerts are the things I miss most.  I truly miss having something to look forward to - the anticipation before the gig, meeting other fans, enjoying the live music.  I long for the day when concerts return.  At least the vaccine gives us some hope...

    3. giraffeandy

      giraffeandy

      @teenagedreamer98 Me too, concerts and travels are the things that give me the most joy, that I always look forward to and that make me happy for many days...  :emot-sad: I know there are bigger problems, at least I can see the majority of my family because I live with them so I'm not alone but I really miss these things. I miss the excitement, the tiredness, the anticipation, the planning, all of it. 

    4. giraffeandy

      giraffeandy

      Even the discomfort like sleeping on a bus and waking up so tired but you don't really care (or you do but not for a long time :teehee:),because you arrived at a new destination... Even these little things. 

  22. It took me a while but now I kind of appreciate Mika's decision to cancel his tour instead of just postponing it. Last year I bought a ticket for a concert that should have took place in March 2020. Today I've realized that the concert was postponed again from March 2021 to March 2022. It feels ridiculous and even though I understand the company, I would prefer a cancellation at this point. :sad:

  23. Today I got the I Love Beirut T-shirt! :cheer:

    I've ordered small but it's the biggest small size I've ever seen... :teehee:

    But that's fine. Better than too small. :wink2:

      :cheer: @giraffeandy good... I don't have mine, they don't want me to buy the t shirt.. but i watch the concert 

       

  24. SOS, please, are there any fans who ordered the I Love Beirut T-shirt from https://shop.virginemi.com/mika/?

    I've paid for it on the 11. 9. I didn't receive it until now. Today the store charged me AGAIN. They charged the amount from my credit card today at night. I've already paid for the T-shirt and I didn't even get a shipping confirmation and now I have to pay once more? Does that happen to anybody else?

      @silver I've checked my bank account again and it seems that they actually cancelled the payment from September and they charged it today. But I haven't noticed back then because in September, we were buying quite a lot of things... However, they could at least inform the customers that they will charge them later because I was sure I've already paid in September.

    3. silver

      silver

      Well, at least they have not charged you twice. Quite a lot of companies take your payment details but only actually charge you when they despatch the goods.  Maybe the September charge was their error and they refunded when they realised it.  But I agree, they could have let you know what was happening.

    4. giraffeandy

      giraffeandy

      @silver I've already ordered there once and back then I've paid immediately even though it still took a few days till the order has been dispatched... They probably realized they won't have the T-shirts in stock for a while so they decided to charge the money later but it would be nice to let me know because once I've got the payment confirmation and I've seen the amount on my bank account as blocked, I haven't checked afterwards if the payment was made for real. I know booking.com does that sometimes when they want to check if the client has enough money to pay the stay but I've never experienced that with a store.

  25. I would prefer ballerinas... :fisch:
