We woke up to an earthquake this morning. They're saying it's a 7.1 magnitude, 6.9 on some sites. It just felt like the bed was swaying from side to side. Definitely not something I was expecting. Still, we rounded up under the table and when it felt safer, got dressed and shot down the stairs. It's great living on the 3rd floor, not as many stairs to go down! Then it was the waiting game, as we waited for clearance to go back inside. There was a tsunami warning issued, but was later cancelled as things seem to have subsided.
No more earthquakes today. There was a tsunami advisory for a few hours but was later cancelled. 

 This experience made us realize that we were not prepared. We've decided to have a pre-packed "survival" bag for any such emergency in the future. That way, if we're home and it happens again, we grab the bag and go!

 Hope everyone is passing a great holiday season! Chichi's on vacation right now, so we're spending time together just chilling.

One end is a new beginning.

There are times in our lives where we have to make hard decisions. These decisions come about in many different forms; they can be towards a person you love, or a place you've come to call home and the most important can be because you love yourself. It's called setting boundaries. It's called respecting yourself. It's called life.  Don't regret the years and special moments you shared. Be happy and thankful for the experience. Use the negative experiences as a stepping stone to know how you never want to be treated again! And move on with your life.

Late night ~

It's been one of those days where not much was done during the day, but hello night and I'm not sleeping.. again.  Technically, we did go out today, if only for a little. But the rest of the day, I slept it away. I need a vacation from my vacation! Haha. They say to wind down before bed, you should put away your phone and take out a book. My books are IN my phone, so fat chance of that happening! Still, I decided I would lounge on the sofa, read a bit and then go to bed.  Read, I did not!  Opened my laptop, started listening to music and then had a thought cross my mind. How much would it cost to go off to Finland from here..? WOW! So expensive!! It's over $2000 CAD! Then it dawned on me, we're on the other side of the world.. makes sense!  Would definitely be cheaper to see them elsewhere. This thought process all started because one of my favourite songs, Wolf and Raven from Sonata Arctica, came up on my player. It was a long shot, but I checked their tour d...

Happy Friday

Hallo my loverlys, hope you're all having a mahvelous week!  I've been watching dance tutorials on YouTube. I found a song I really love, "Strip" by Little Mix. Don't let the name of the song throw you off, it's nothing demeaning! They sing of taking off all your makeup, loving yourself for who you are. To brush off all the negativity the world throws at you, and flaunt what you have or don't have because underneath it all, you're beautiful! Listening to that song, I wanted to find choreo of it. There is no "set" choreo, you pick and choose.  I can see some of you who have known me for a long time wondering why I'd be looking for choreo. To dance, of course! We all know I can't dance, but it's never too late to start! I convinced myself I would start with something a little easier, on account of my knee problems. Wouldn't want to reactivate my tendonitis.  So I looked online, migrating to kpop and the like. Found a great...
