Mixmania

Hello!!

Happy Tanabata!

What is your wish? Mine is... i wish I can stay in this appartment for a long time! 

Last week, I had a special event on Friday!

I went back home on Thursday just for that! The event was 2h away from my parents home, but I went with my 2 friends from back home!

The ride was super fun~ We sang the whole way and joked around too! My friends are too funny 

We arrived there early, so we ate and hand around until it was time!!!

The event was a concert from a group from our childhood called Mixmania!!! Actually Mixmania was the name of the TV show and there's two groups 

I was about 10 years old when it aired and it was the first reality tv show in Quebec.

The concept of the show was to make two groups: a boy group and a girl group! Every week, we got to vote for something (name of the group, lyrics, lead singer for song, etc.) At the end, one of the group would win an album. The girls won, but the boys were still apart of the album.

I was obsessed with them. I listened to their album soooo much. Although the songs werent a bit cringy haha I still listen to it once in a while too.

They were active for about a year, but I never got to see them live 

But then, I could realize this dream after 20 + years! 

2 of them (1 boy and 1 girl) are not participating in any promo, but it's ok~

I'm just grateful the rest of them came back together even if its for a short while. Most of them are living private live away from music.

So, really, it felt like a miracle to be able to see them! For free too!! 

I screamed and sang so much!!

It was soooo good!!

They did all their songs and more 

To be able to live this moment with all my friends, it was amazing 

I didnt take a lot of pictures or videos because I wanted to enjoy the moment to the fullest!

I had such a blast!

I even made friend with the woman next to me during the concert haha She was funny.

I wanna go againnnn~~

The ride home was late, but with my friends, we sang S club songs the whole way. It felt so peaceful and nice.  Moment like this makes me think that life is worth it! 

The day after, I was putting some story on my instagram and the members repost them 

Some even answered on private message 

Whaaaattt

I'm not used to free interaction with people I admire  I'm used to pay for talking 45s (thanks hello pro haha)

I wrote a message to one of them on Sunday too. Because he really look like he had the best time on stage and it made me so happy. And he answered!!  感動

His answer made me really happy! I feel like I've been riding on this wave of happiness from the concert and interaction~

Concert are so fun!!

The rest of the weekend was great too! Two of my brothers were home with their kids, so it was fun to spend time with them! Even though I didnt have voice anymore on saturday 

This was a long post!!

Here's a picture of my friend and I before the concert 

See you soon!

Canada Day

Hello!

How are you doing?

I'm doing good!

Today is Canada day, so I was off from work!

I don't celebrate it though 

I had plans for today!

My friends and I went to a cafe to write!! 

The three of us are writing a book!! It's so fun to be able to talk about writing with friends going through the same process 

It's been a while since I've write for my book! I've been writing a fanfic  

I have more words in my fanfic than in my book 

I'm almost done though. It's a story I really like, so it's been really fun to write!! I might even publish it..  I'm not sure yet  It's a bit embarassing 

But today, I got back into my book!!

My friends and I gave ourselve a word count goal for this month. 5000 words is our goal, but I hope to write more.

But I also want to finish my fanfic... I'm almost done!!

Anyway, we spent the afternoon there. It's quite hot today, so I'm glad I was at a cafe 

I also dressed up to go~

I dont have any full mirror in this appartment 

I wore this skirt for the first time! I got it in Japan last year 

T-shirt is from Uniqlo! Skirt is from Honeys.

I even put make up and did my hair~ 

It's been a long time!

This is it for today!!

See you soon ~

Montreal

Hello!

Two weeks ago, I went to Montreal for work!

Two years ago, I went to Calgary. This time, it was Montreal! 3 days of conference!!

I took the train early Sunday morning! I was actually with my new boss for the train ride. I was a bit worried about it, but it went really well. We mostly talked about work though. But it was constructive!

I checked in early in my hotel room. This big room for myself 

I met with my cousin for lunch! 

We went to this place~

It was fun to chat! After lunch, I went to her place. It was my first time seeing her appartment. It was nice to chat with her. 

I don't see her often, so I'm happy I got to spend hours with her.

Plus, I got to pet her dog 

So cute!!

After, I came back to my hotel and met with my friend!

We dont see each other often, but we do for work  We both work at registrar office in university.

We went to eat dinner at a korean restaurant~ It was delicious and cheap too! And the restaurant name was funny lol

On Monday, we had a lot of conferences. They were more interesting than in Calgary.

It was so cold all the time in the conference.

My friend and I went to eat at a korean bbq that night~

We also stopped at a bookstore and I bought these!

On Tuesday, we finished earlier. I stayed in my room and worked though. 

I did go back to the bookstore and bought another one lol

There was a networking event during the evening.

There were ducks 

On Wednesday, we had conference in the morning and then we left by train~

At that time, I had only spent a week in my new place, so when it was time to go home, I actually wonder where was my home.

It was a fun trip!!

New home

Hello!

I moved!! 

I love my new place!! 

I was nervous about moving, but it went well!

The place was already pretty clean when I got the keys which was great!

I spent the first two days deep cleaning. Then my parents came to help on Wednesday. We painted the place on thursday. I kept everything white except for one wall in the living room!

A preview of the color 

Moving day was officially on Saturday. It was raining, but it went well! Thanks to my brothers who helped!!

It's been a long and tiring week, but it went well. I've been slowly unpacking. Its still doesnt exactly feel like home, but it slowly become it!

I like it better than my last place already lol It so much quieter 

I've met a few of my neighboors and everyone has been nice and welcoming too 

I gave my keys back to my last place as soon as I could. Good riddance. I thought I'd feel sad, but i wasnt. I could hear my upstair neighboor screaming while I was cleaning it lol

I'll try to show you pictures soon!!

See you!

Last

Hello!

I'm getting the keys to my new place tomorrow!!

I am a bit stressed!! 

I hope everything will be alright! I visit the apartment back in February, so it's been a while... 

It's exciting though!!

I'm off work all week so I have time to clean and can move slowly! It's gonna be a busy week, but hopefully everything goes well!!

For some reason, I felt a bit sad today. I've been living in this place for about 3 years now... I didn't expect to be moving so soon 

When I first came to this place, I wanted it to be long term! For lots of years!!

I'm so sad that my upstair neighbours has ruin it for me... 

I'm gonna miss the location of it the most probably! The trails super close, the cafe right in front! The grocery store super close too! And it was super fast going to work in bus!

But my next place is gonna be great too! It's bigger!! That's going to be nice!! I'm gonna make it home!

So yes, leaving makes me sad even though I cant wait to move. Still sleeping on an air mattress in my living room... but I'm still gonna miss this place!!

I think its just that I'm nervous about tomorrow lol but it should be fine!!

See you tomorrow!!
