Bad news: My old PC monitor stopped working today.
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!
-
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.
-
-
Being at work and listening to this concert today, I feel so privileged that I had the chance to be there live.
-
Challenge of the day: How many Mika CDs (including bonus CDs, live CDs etc.) can you play in one day?
-
Do you remember all those articles from this year, where the journalists wrote Mika is 38? It seems that according to Google 29 is the new 38 because now if you google "Mika" or "Mika's birthday", you get the date and place of birth of a guy named Micael Borges who also use the nickname Mika...

@kreacher Yes, I agree, I mean, maybe it's his nickname in real life too, but he must know that there's already another famous singer using the name Mika, he could at least write himself as Mica or come up with something else, it's better to have an original brand name... I hope he doesn't want to take advantage of the name, some people can easily get confused because of it.

Don't know if there are any fans of P!ATD but what do you think of this cover?
I think he did a pretty good job!

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

still so beautiful @giraffeandy

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

For the last time I remind you of the survey: https://kwiksurveys.com/s/SRi5J4RQ
I'll post the results tonight so please take part if you're interested in it. Thanks!
-
Good news, I found a hotel room near the venue for a quite reasonable price so I'm going last minute to Bolzano!
PS: Only the hotel is probably assuming I'm a man because they keep addressing me Mr. in e-mails (I asked them a question regarding the check-in time), probably because Andrea is a boy name in Italy. 
-
Has anybody of you seen the series YOU? Because I'm just watching season 1 and I don't know if it's just me but the main actor reminds me of Mika a bit...
I mean not all the time but there's something about his facial expressions and also maybe his eyes that makes him look a bit similar sometimes. Maybe that's the reason why I may have a crush on the main character even though he is a crazy psychopat and stalker...

Hi girls, how are you? 😘 Unfortunately I have to say I don't feel so well this month. There's actually no reason but since January I started to feel a little bit depressed, lonely and hopeless... It's sad but I don't want to speak about it with my family because they would worry too much. That's why I want to share it with you and ask you, if you ever feel the same and what do you do against it? I'd like to find some new friends or hobbies because my best friend is so busy with her job, school, hobbies, boyfriend etc. However, it's quite difficult, I don't know where to start. I'm trying to focus on studying now but it's also hard to do so. Sorry if my post doesn't make sense, I just had to share my thoughts with someone. Thank you for reading it.

@Paoletta Hi, thanks for asking, it's like weather, but I'll try to go out more next week to be more active and I also decided to contact the counseling center of our university, maybe it'll help to talk with a therapist about the feelings because now I'm not even able to learn because of lack of concentration... And my mom began to worry anyway because I'm not hungry at all, I eat a little bit but it's really hard for me. However, I'm trying my best to change it, it helps me to do some exercises and also writing down the problems right now feels better. Thank you again for your support, MFC is the best!

@giraffeandy Good luck!

Hi girls, I hope some of you can join me on this very "girly" topic. Tomorrow it's Valentine's day and even though I'm not a fan of this holiday it always make me think of the fact that I've never been in a real relationship. It's kind of sad because it seems so easy for other people in my surroundings but impossible for me. I'm usually not the girl who complains about being single, I'm actually used to it. However, the society makes it hard sometimes, people are always asking etc. I think it's still better to be alone than to be in some toxic relationship but sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable - once I was with two classmates and they began to talk about their relationships. I felt kind of excluded and then once of them mentioned some problems and the other said "at least you have a boyfriend" which made me feel quite bad as I was the only one who was single. Does anybody of you feel sometimes the same?

Thanks @Dominika
I also feel that I'm too safe in my comfort zone and that I should try to step out of it because you always hear that it feels good to try something different but to be honest, it usually feels worse... I don't know what's wrong with me but whenever I try because you never know if you haven't tried I realize it doesn't work for me. Does it make sense at all?
It's not just about relationships but for example I went on a date with a guy because I thought I shouldn't reject every invitation just because it feels safe to stay in your comfort zone (and dating is a huge step out of it for me) but I realize I don't really enjoy it, I mean, going to dates. I know, it sounds ridiculous but sometimes I really think there has to be something wrong with me because everyone gets so excited about dates and to me it feels like a dentist appointment (ok, it's not that bad but still, I just can't relate to most people...).
-
If you don't enjoy dates, don't go on them
. Go for group activities, it's easier hanging out in a crowd, and you may get to meet someone you actually want to spend time with. I joined a folk music club, just made myself useful helping with running the club, and ended up going out with a folk singer for a while. Though that didn't last, two other men I met there are still my friends, we've stayed in touch for years.

Hi girls! 😘
I few days ago I've ordered Songbook from Amazon (I know I'm late as Mika...). I always thought I don't need it as there aren't any new songs (with a few exceptions, but I already own the majority of them). However, now I have it in my collection too and I have to reorganize my whole CD shelf because of the new CDs I've ordered...
This is also happening with my bookshelfs all the time.
P.S. Feeling a bit better this week.

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?

How I look vs. how I feel while wearing Mika's merch...
-
I asked my best friend (she is not a fan) if she could borrow me her customer card to a bookstore and stationery since I discovered they'll have 20 % off this weekend for customers having the card and they sell at least some of the Mika pens. She agreed so I sent her pictures of the pens I want. She found them beautiful and then she wrote we have to go to the shop together because now she wants them too...

@silver That's interesting, it seems they don't sell all types everywhere. Today I checked several shops in my country which offer the Mika pens and they all have just both FriXion pens and G2 pens but no V5.

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.

I don't know if MFC is the right place for it but since I can't discuss this on social media or irl, I thought I could try it here... What would you do, if someone really close to you express themselves in a slightly homophobic way? Would you try to convince him/her otherwise? Would you just ignore it and avoid this topic in conversations? Or would you even stop meeting such a person ?
The thing is, I have a best friend I know for ages, she is the closest person I have in my life besides my family. But it really bothers me when she speaks about someone being gay as it would be a bad/not normal thing. I tried to explain it to her but I think it's not so easy to change her mind about it. She tolerates people being gay but she doesn't approve it if you know what I mean. And I really hate it but at the same time, I know she is not a bad person and it's really hard for me because she is like my sister. It's a similar feeling like when someone in your family says something you don't agree with but at the same time you don't want to argue about it because those people are so close to you but it still bothers you a lot. I hope it makes sense. What do you think about it?

@Irem Aytepe I guess I have to accept it and hope she changes her mind someday... Of course I won't stop pointing out what I think about it.
But thank you all for your support! It helps when I can express my feelings and thoughts about it somewhere where it's safe to do so.
-
@giraffeandy I hope you'll find a good solution... it's really a problem for a close friendship..

I have many physical CDs so I don't listen to Spotify as much but the Spotify statistics still don't lie...
(If you use Spotify, you can generate your charts here: https://spotifystatistics.com/ ...and please share them, I'm curious.)

I have to cancel my trip to Bolzano...
-
I just got a mail from MFC I could get one ticket for the concert in Bolzano (I entered the competition before and didn't win but apparently there is still one ticket left) and now I don't know what to do as I already had to give up the accomodation and there's a bus arriving at 6pm and leaving at 0:20 but I'm afraid that's too risky and I would spend more time on the bus than in Bolzano... I guess I have to give up the chance even though I'd like to go.
I wish it would be different.
for high resolution

good , well bravissimaaaa; i like this 
PS: Only the hotel is probably assuming I'm a man because they keep addressing me Mr. in e-mails (I asked them a question regarding the check-in time), probably because Andrea is a boy name in Italy. 
Glad you got things sorted out
Like even more than the first one. 
But not sure if I want the third season (there will be one, it's already been confirmed), I think enough is enough. However, I watched this season in 2 days, so... 
true but for Mika's album every things is possible . do you feel better? very good
