  1. I don't know why but as I had read the comment by @Natacha. before, I already expected the proposal when I read your dream but I've imagined it the other way around... Such a sweet dream!
  2. That's why I hate this ageism, it shouldn't matter if you are an younger/older fan, I don't know the age of many fans I follow on Twitter and I don't really care about it either... It's just another thing that splits the fandom like nationality etc. even though it shouldn't. We are all on the same boat, we are fans and that's all that matters to me.
  3. Hi, maybe you could help me with my brainstorming. It's my best friend's birthday in 3 weeks. It's already clear I won't be able to see her. Now I'm thinking about a gift. There are actually only two possibilities - either a "digital" gift or something I can order online and send to her address. A digital gift could be a voucher for example, one that I could buy or I was thinking of a list of things we could do together afterwards and I would invite her (café, ice cream, cinema etc.). That would be nice, on the other hand who knows when it will be possible to realize these plans and maybe I should think of a gift she can enjoy right now in the time of her birthday and not in a few weeks or months... It would be great if I could give her a "personalised" gift, I usually put together things I bought and even something handmade but I don't want to risk going to the post office now so if I send her something, it has to be a thing I can order and she will receive it from the shop directly. What do you think is the best idea? A "physical" surprise or a "digital" gift with a voucher? Or maybe a mixture of both options? Thanks for your ideas!

      You don't have to give physical gift atm. It can be dangerous but I prefer digital.

      You can make a video of your and your friend's picture with your song? Your and her/him song? It can be nice. 

      If you want cinema for that day, you can make voicecall and start a movie same time. You can talk about the movie and you can watch together. I always do this with my friend when we want to watch serie together.

      Well the easy thing to do would be a voucher for something like Amazon, so she could get whatever she liked.  Do you have any websites like Etsy, where you can order craft gifts and jewellery online and get sent direct to her? Actually getting a present might be a nice surprise in these times.

      2 ideas:

      - you can ask other friends to record short wishes for your bday firend and then put all recordings together 

      - in Poland there is a webside which prepare videos with celebrities or sportsmen wishing ppl happy birthday. You send them pictures and your wishes and they preparing a video. You pay for this but the money goes to charity company. My friend was in heaven seeing her fave footballer wishing her happy birthday. Don't know if you have something similar in Czech?

  4. Today I had a terrible nightmare... One of those that feels so real! :tears: It was about Mika being on an event with about 50 other famous people on a boat. Then the boat got lost and people were assuming it sank for some reason. I felt so miserable in the dream, I even cried, then I woke up and was so relieved it's not true but I think I will need a while till I get rid of that bad feeling... Luckily Mika won't be on a boat anytime soon.

      @Starlight Yes, I have no idea why my brain came up with such a horrible story, I usually have rather good or neutral dreams thanks god! But I guess maybe the whole situation now produce some negative feelings that your brain proceeds at night... I don't know but it was by far the worst nightmare I had lately, I hope it was the last one too.

    3. giraffeandy

      giraffeandy

      @Mikasister Yeah, the reality is a nightmare already...

       

      Even though it's hard, I think it's a good idea, it's better to be safe than sorry...

       

      Btw, the night before I had a dream I made it to Mallorca (I should have spent two weeks in July over there) but I had to take a bus, a boat, a train and I think one another vehicle because the planes didn't fly... The virus was still a topic but it wasn't as bad anymore. Not the greatest dream ever but at least much better than the one I dreamed tonight...

      @giraffeandy That's true... all that is happening now is a nightmare...

      @Mikasister A good idea... safety is so important at the moment...

  5. Listening to the new album by Dua Lipa today, this song is my favourite so far...
  6. I have another song/artist recommendation. Lately I've been listening a lot to CHVRCHES, I know the band for quite a long time but since I heard their song Forever on the series Élite, I kind of rediscovered their music once again... They have a lot of great songs like The Mother We Share, Miracle and a lots more. But this particular song reminds me a lot of Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode – you surely remember Mika's cover of that song:
  7. I have honestly no idea but here the experts say it can take longer... It probably will calm down a bit but it will take some time till everything gets back to normal.
  8. To be honest, I think they are just trying to buy some time and waiting till the last minute... I have a ticket for a festival (not Mika) in the end of June and even though some festivals were already postponed, this one wasn't but I think it's just a matter of time. The music business has huge problems as well now, many shows and festivals are cancelled or postponed and they don't have the money to refund all people at once if they have to cancel so they are trying to reschedule or at least buy some time till they have to make the final decision. However, I really hope I'm wrong this time.
  9. From the chef of the central crisis team here in Czechia, he is an epidemiologist and he said in an interview that this year it probably won't be possible to travel abroad in summer and maybe even next year... Of course it's just a prediction so far but if he thinks there's a chance it will last so long, I have my doubts they will open the borders in 3–4 months. And my family is already sure we won't be able to travel to Spain in the beginning of July.
  10. I know nobody can predict the future but do you think Verona will be cancelled or postponed? The thing is, I already know I won't be able to come because I've heard the borders won't be open for a year or maybe even two (I can't even imagine, I live for travelling)... Also without bus and train lines, I won't be able to travel even if I could. On the other hand, under these circumstances I don't want to offer my ticket to anybody as nobody knows if the gig will happen at all. However, do you think I will get my money back if I can't travel due to restrictions made by my country? It's 100 euro and that's a lot for me now... Anyway, if the gig happens by some miracle, I have a ticket for seat 4 in the 4th row... I think you can change the name on the ticket for some extra fee.
  11. This is so heartwarming... And there are not enough nice news in these times.

      I feel like you @giraffeandy I dont see the light at the end of the tunnel.

       

      The things in Spain are getting worse every day with 15.000 infected and moore than 700 dead, and they say the hardest is yet to come.:tears: In Catalonia where I live there're almost 3000 infected and 55 dead. We have to be locked up at home and go out just to buy food. I have to be careful with mom because is an old person. Moreover, Mika doesnt help me. It seems that for him only France and Italy are suffering. Today I wanted to cry. :tears: Right now, I'm down. Tomorrow I do not know but now, I regret having bought  tickets for this summer. Right now I'm sad and annoyed. 

       

      When the year started, 2020 seemed nice to me and now all this. :sad::sad:

      @Mikasister Exactly, I was so positive about 2020, Mika on tour, so many good things coming and now this... :emot-sad: It's so unreal, I feel like I have to wake up one day from this nightmare but I won't... And it's getting worse. I'm so sorry for Spain and Italy, this summer I was going to have a holiday with my family on Mallorca and also planning to go to Verona to see Mika and now it breaks my heart what's happening in both countries I love... 

  13. I hope it doesn't matter it's more an artist recommendation but I tried to choose a representative song for each of them... Of course I listen to a bunch of other artists, this is just the starter pack. I think some of them have a similar style to Mika in some ways (they are also inspired by the 80s and the same artists as Mika) so I hope someone here will enjoy some of the songs and artists I posted above.
  14. Ok, so I'll start with some of my favourite artists besides (and far behind ) Mika. In no particular order: Rosalía (favourite album: El mal querer, even won a Grammy for that album this year) Lorde (favourite album: Melodrama) Janelle Monáe (favourite album: Dirty Computer) Troye Sivan (favourite album: Bloom) Sigrid (just released a few EPs and a debut album so far so I actually like all of it...) Carly Rae Jepsen (favourite album: Emotion, but I like Dedicated as well) Alice Merton (also released just one EP and a debut album so far...) And recently I've listened a lot to the EP La vita nuova by Christine and the Queens:
  15. Even though it's a bit sad, it's also very rare to see Prague without tourists so I kind of appreciate some of these pictures... https://www.seznamzpravy.cz/clanek/par-minut-do-karanteny-cele-zeme-tak-to-vypadalo-v-centru-prahy-93271?seq-no=1&dop-ab-variant=&source=clanky-home

      @Lilyen Tbh, probably even more, most of the time it's overcrowded...

      yes..more essential. BUT.

  16. As the schools are closed in many countries, let's begin with a lesson of geography... :biggrin2:

    (it's quite old so it's not really up-to-date anymore but I think it's still really catchy...)

      @Anna Ko Kolkowska I have to say I still like the cartoon version better, he is even dancing... :lmfao:

      Btw, I also noticed that some countries in the Central Asia are missing like Kazakhstan, I guess they were still part of Russia back then so also don't forget about these, kids! :naughty:

      You want to dance? Here you can dance learning how to make a Trucker's Hitch

      These guys are so crazy. They can sing any text they want!  And they speak so many languages - it makes think of Mika :mfr_lol:

       

       

  17. Ich hab auf Instagram gesehen, dass sie in Italien in einem Supermarkt Streifen aus Klebeband auf dem Boden haben, damit die Leute Abstand halten... Und angeblich darf man auch keine Schlange stehen, man muss warten, bis es an der Kasse frei ist damit sich nicht mehrere Leute zur Kasse anstellen. Also ich glaube es kann durchaus stimmen. So sieht es aus:
  18. Ich lese gern ab und zu dystopische Bücher aber jetzt hab ich das Gefühl, in einer Dystopie mittendrin zu sein und es fühlt sich echt wie ein Albtraum an... Noch vor kurzer Zeit könnte ich zur Uni, zur Arbeit, auf ein Konzert oder in die Bibliothek gehen, ausreisen usw. Jetzt darf ich nichts davon. Und ich will nur das es endlich aufhört, obwohl ich weiß, dass das nur der Anfang ist...
  19. I think the right translation is "a small country located to the east (?) of Germany" (em um hotel de Luxemburgo, um pequeno país localizado ao leste da Alemanha) but it still doesn't make sense but I found "leste" really means east in Portuguese...
  20. Some people say the warm weather will help and it won't be a problem anymore by summer, some people say it can last months or even a year what I've heard... It's so messed up that I don't know what to think anymore. I just hope it gets better soon...
  21. Today I had a dream. I got an email from a concert promoter with a link. And on the website I found out that there will be a concert of Mika in my country. But the weird thing was that the concert wasn't in Prague but in Pardubice... Which is strange because even though it's one of the bigger cities here (the 10th biggest apparently), it's still quite small for such a concert. And there's no music festival and I've actually never been there. So I guess this dream won't come true... :naughty: But it was a nice feeling for a moment.

      hm, I would be happy for a concert in Szeged... hmhm ❤️ nice dream!

  22. I can't see this book without hearing Mika sing... :fisch:

      Haha I know, it was meant ironically :naughty:

      @Starlight Oh sorry, sometimes it's hard to recognize irony online... :facepalm::doh:

      @giraffeandy no problem :hug: it's really hard without hearing the voice of someone. :wink2:

  23. Thinking of all the Italian fans here. I don't know how many of you live in or near the affected area but as long as it's possible, try to stay high not low... Hope you and your families are safe! Wish you health. :pray: Of course that applies to everybody who lives in a country that is affected (at this point I think most of us do...).

      Of course it's terrible for all Italians and my thoughts are with them... :pray:

      But if this helps to stop the spreading...
