Heya! It's indeed been a while, I had to read our earlier messages to remember what we were talking about.... ^^''

Did you see my latest yearly update? BLOG #56852 It's now all set up and ready!

Oh my, where am I now...so much happened in the last years. I moved in early 2020 to Finland, just before the pandemic hit. So I spent a lot of time indoors and working from home. Only more recently have I been doing the typical sightseeing of new areas and locations to the country I have now moved to. Cosplaying: There is 1 costume I finished recently and did a photoshoot with. I'll write about it on my blog in a while. I don't plan on entering competitions anymore as I now spent most of my free time working on garage kits. It's a lot cheaper and easier to keep up with than the cosplay hobby.

Congrats on finishing your studies and also your new apartment! Have you enjoyed the work you have been doing in the last few years? Or looking for a different direction? Your travel and work plans also sound great.

Considering the costs of living where I am now $800 does not sound like a lot, but I think it is if you have roommates?

Personally I always liked living on my own compared to having roommates. I would rather live in a tiny studio alone than a big house with roommates. Not sure if it's the same for you? Do you have an area in your new apartment to display some items? A bookshelf at least?

Well, I am not in the Netherlands anymore so I can't answer that haha. It's going OK here in Finland though! The pandemic seems to finally calm down here, but I'll wait with planning any big travel after seeing how the current autumn and winter go. So far in the pandemic years every summer things seemed fine and then it went all down the drain in autumn/winter. I would love to re-book my cancelled 2020 vacation to Okinawa next year.

Collecting is going well. I buy more goods and garage kits than pre-painted figurines nowadays. I recently got this rare Mecha Musume kit you might like as well: ITEM #1865041 . I recently ordered a new Moducase so I can move 1-2 shelves from my Detolfs into there to display. However I would have preferably sold some items to make room, but unfortunately I have a hard time finding buyers for my old collectables, no matter how low my price goes. Shipping costs from Finland to worldwide are really high because there is such a low number of inhabitants here (I think it's similar in Canada?).

Last Wonfes I added a lot of things on my list to check for updates, but I don't have any 'must buys'. I am looking forward how ITEM #1941964 and her PUP are going to look. I think I will buy 1 of them, not sure which one yet. I also really like ITEM #1942521 , but I am not into Overlord enough to pre-order her. Maybe on the aftermarket. I also have 2 new GK's for my wishlist ITEM #1910828 + ITEM #1910827 , but they will be hard to find on the aftermarket, so I'll have to wait if they come up.

The MOD/VIB that used to make the Wonfes lists quit doing that and nobody new stepped up to take over. I remember some users trying to do so last year, but it's super time consuming so people are not really excited to volunteer haha.

I also hope you're having a great day! :)

Hey! Good to hear you had a nice day. :)

As for me, oof, lots has changed. Idk if you're interested in checking it out, but my main focus nowadays in on Garage kits as hobby: profile/Maakie/...

I also spent a lot of time on the display of my collection in my new place: BLOG #48627 & BLOG #49859

How about you?

Bit late, but...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you had some nice cake!

Happy Birthday!

It's a happy happy happy birthday for you!

Thank you for the bday wish~

It was the Netherlands, but early 2020 I have moved to Finland (and plan on staying here). :)

The Netherlands is doing pretty bad, Finland looks to be doing OK, but there is a  very low number of inhabitants, so it's actually not as OK as it seems when it comes to % infected... ^^'' Luckily my husband and I seem to be able to work from home for at least the rest of 2020 and we minimize going outside. I wish for things to go back to normal though, I moved to a new country but am not able to explore it around here at all. :( How's it at your place?

Well, every convention from 2020 got cancelled and because of my emigration all my items have been stuck in storage for very long. I am slowly working on my next costume, but I am not really sure if I can/want to go to any event in 2021 even if they take place. Not until things are more safe again.

Sorry for being a bit late!



I hope you had a nice day, even with the weird current situation of the world!

Happy Birthday!! ~ <3

Thank you so much for the bday wishes <3
