Learning to draw on my new graphic tablet using a reference image...
It's so much fun!

Youtube just recommended to me this video I've seen years ago because the algorithm knows I need a good laugh right now...

Please vote, I hope I won't be the only one who likes the Italian song better...

My phone just reminded me today that tomorrow I should leave for Verona...

@Anna Ko Kolkowska I was going to take a bus or a train (but the bus was probably the cheapest option). However, I waited till May for the new schedule so then I didn't buy the ticket anymore. I just had to cancel my reservation for the B&B on booking.com but I didn't pay anything in advance.

After hearing Dear Jealousy at Sephora once and Ice Cream at Zara a couple of months ago, today I've heard Tomorrow at Peek&Cloppenburg... I guess I should go shopping more often.
Fun fact: the last two times this happened to me I was wearing the tote bag from the Revelation Tour.

Don't forget social distancing! (I've seen it on FB with Sherlock and decided to make a Mika version...)

Challenge of the day: How many Mika CDs (including bonus CDs, live CDs etc.) can you play in one day?

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.

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?

Today I had a terrible nightmare... One of those that feels so real!
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.
-
@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...
-
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.
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. 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.
-
@Mikasister Exactly, I was so positive about 2020, Mika on tour, so many good things coming and now this...
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...
-
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...

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

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...
But it was a nice feeling for a moment.

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

@Starlight Oh sorry, sometimes it's hard to recognize irony online...
-
@giraffeandy no problem
it's really hard without hearing the voice of someone. 
-
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.
Of course that applies to everybody who lives in a country that is affected (at this point I think most of us do...).

@Lilyen It seems like Mika has read your comment...

My DIY project for today... Familiar colours, don't you think?

Two weeks ago, I was quite sad that the European leg of the tour is ending but now I think it ended just at the right time... Artists are already postponing their tours even in Europe. Some dates of the European tour wouldn't be possible right now so now I'm even more grateful for what we had and looking forward to the summer events.
-
Bad news: There's a reconstruction in our house so there's a lot of noise lately (drilling etc.).
Good news: Songs like Dear Jealousy, Sanremo, Tomorrow or Platform Ballerinas sound really good when you play them really LOUD.

@silver Because normally, I don't play the music so much loud because of the neighbours... But now it doesn't matter anyway.

Mika's music should be available in the pharmacy because today I didn't sleep well and felt quite sick in the morning but then I started listening to MNIMH and I feel much better now... Not perfect, but I have still Mika's whole discography to heal me.

How I look vs. how I feel while wearing Mika's merch...
Fun fact: the last two times this happened to me I was wearing the tote bag from the Revelation Tour.
