Thank you. love your collection as well.

hi, oops.... i didn't notice that, sorry, let me delete some msg, guess i got too many in a short time on my mail box

Hello! I'm very tired, but doing good! Work has been very busy as I need to learn a lot of things before everyone leaves for Summer holiday, but then in the Summer period it will be a lot more chill for me (I hope/assume LOL).  How's everything with you?

Thanks! And oh! I'll be curious about your favorite item(s) from my loots. :) And oh, how come? Less interest in figures nowadays?

LOL your neverending high expectations haha. xD Regular unpacking is 90% done and the figures are ~60%(?) done. I am missing pieces for 2 of my display cabinets, but rather not go into the outside world to purchase them (IKEA does not ship them to home addresses). PayPal will continue to be ??? until I do my first (eBay) sale and that is not happening anytime soon as I'm still in quarantine. Finnish language was recently added to Duolingo, so we have that! And the health care is sort-of working, but still working out some issues with it as rules and regulations are quite different here. And I actually did not see any lakka's for sale yet! But! I did try a while back a chocolate-lakka cake and I was surprised at how sweet they are! I was under the impression that most berry-types have a bit of sourness to them. :O

Here the situation is weird. Halfway into May they did a 'partial' re-opening, but basically everything just opened right away, people started clothes shopping and going to restaurants etc. It became very annoying for me to do my groceries because my nearest supermarket is in this big mall and it was filled with salespeople approaching me again. It was like everybody just forgot about Corona. Anyway, since then even more things opened and for Summer things seem to go back to 'normal' as much as possible, with planned that directly after Summer, all offices will open again. So yeah, let's see if in the upcoming weeks there will be a spike in the number of cases...if not, I guess there won't be a second wave and it will be safe for me to return to the office and the rest of my normal life. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just really don't know what to think of this situation, all media tells something different and I am just so confused... So I'm self-isolating for as long as I can until governments all see it as safe.

Oh, so your area already has the second wave... :( I guess with ours it's also taking 'longer' as we are in general less densely populated.

Yeah, it's pretty bad that call centers are seen as such a bad job and also treated by most companies as something that does not need effort. I'm always so hesitant when I need to contact a customer support and when I do, I rather go for e-mail, chat, contact form etc. because of the experiences I've had working in them.

Oh man...yeah I've had similar stuff. Earlier with a job I had to regularly park someplace else and would have to pay additional parking fees which they covered, but it was always soooo much paperwork to get it back. And if there was only one tiny thing wrong (such as a damaged parking ticket I once had), they refused to pay back... As 'revenge' I would fill in those reimbursement sheets and make pictures of proof for them only during work time. :P

Well I guess I can copy-paste this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ again to answer that. My sister her wedding is going to be a social distancing wedding, the main party is cancelled and the smaller party has been moved to a bigger location so that the social distancing rules are able to be followed. It will depend on the news and numbers in both countries if we are still able to go there in September. I can say something similar for my vacation. Waiting until more numbers are known for both countries to have any clue if it will happen. As for your convention, well if you guys are already in the 2nd wave now, I don't think a convention can happen this soon again... :x

Yes, there are lots of cool places in Europe to explore! Still much on my own list to check out, next to wanting to see the area I actually moved to, LOL.

And yes! Well, the average Finnish person would say to you that Finland has no mountains at all, but for us people that are originally from a very flat country: it does! But if you want to see actual high mountains in Europe, you would have to go to Austria, France, Germany or Italy. When we still lived in NL we would sometimes drive a bit into Germany and there are lots of mountains and caves to explore there! But you need a good car to get there, LOL.

XD CB!!!! This makes me LOL every time I see one of these edits you do!

Thank you!

Hi, I’m waiting for FREEing to release saber ruler bunny figure picture/2350561...

On Celia bunny site, I stated Celia bunny is at 90% accuracy due to her some part are too big, see it urself and notice it, also quote prefer Celia standing version ITEM #872816, also mention only die hard fan will order her...

So u will displayed Celia naked... well guess u can... but u not worry about people coming over and see her like that ???

My vision of Celia bunny is in her excellent original box sealed/unopen... brand NEW!!!
Just like when u see it at the store, so excited... ;p

i got it from Nin-nin-game, but u can still order it from lunar toy store, the price went up again, Celia bunny is getting very popular and u better hurry and order her fast, just look at her with armor version which is 3-5X the price now ITEM #543897, celia bunny will be 1,000 in the future due to her being Native/Binding very limited version, which no Re-run...

my thought is to have one celia bunny on displayed and one for seal/never open/Brand New, is the reason i want 2 Celia bunny

Hi, good news I some how got a 2nd Celia bunny 1/4 scaleITEM #872816, it was sold out after I preorder her, my guess it was the last one after 3 hour web store Announcement, feeling lucky ;p I high recommend u get her...

Hello! Hope you're doing well even with the long hours and are still safe!

It's going fine with the apartment. Most of our everyday stuff is assembled and we're busy with the last regular stuff their boxes. Want to soon get to hanging all the frames on the wall, clocks, decorative lamps, you know, the stuff that makes it more like home. :) And after that get to my figure displays! :)

Work is going fine, but it's becoming less fun the more I work from home, I think we talked before about me having to be in phone calls all day and it's really taking a toll on my ears and getting headaches now. :(

The health insurance, I coincidentally called them last week, to ask what is up...they informed me that they are extra delayed (of course) and that it can take up to 4 months more. As some of my medicine I took with me from my home country will be running out in a couple of months, I think I will have to get in contact with my employer soon to ask if their health insurance can be of any help in this situation...

As for PayPal, it's very strange. From PayPal's side it seems fine, but some shops/organizations keep telling me some parts look blocked on their side. I guess I will find out if it really works or not once I get back to selling again and people would pay me on my PayPal account.

How is it in your area? Are shops and restaurants getting opened again? In my home country they opened everything back up starting May and they hope to let as much festivals and events go through in summer...sounds to me like it will become a mess there. :( In comparison, Finland might be a bit too protective? Right now it seems like the earliest we could go back to our office is August, but more realistically November...

Well to look at it from a positive side, at least both of us are still receiving a stable income! So much people are screwed with either overload as an essential worker or being jobless... I feel lucky to be in the middle ground.

Yeah call centers are the worst customer support because most people reaching out to you have an issue or something to complain about. >.< The best callers to me would be the people with weird questions where you really had to go like 'huh, I actually have to research how that works' haha! And oh, seems like secret shopper jobs are just as shady in the USA then.. :/ I don't like jobs where I have to pay things upfront (I've had issues with that before of companies expecting me to pay high hotel and travel costs and it could take 1-3 paychecks before I would receive it back...). The risk of getting scammed out of money becomes way too high.

Nope, and not planning on soon. I actually am writing a bit about that in a blog I plan on uploading this week (about my Elin cosplay project walktrough). I had to be very selective with what I could take with my on my emigration and when I had to make choices, taking my collectibles with me was more important than old costumes and material and tools to make costumes with. So a lot of stuff got trashed/donated/sold for cheap. I don't have much 'ready to wear' cosplay outfits right now. I do have a 50% finished next cosplay project, which I am planning on finishing and photoshooting with here, though! But as I want to make sure I first got everything unpacked (including my collection), working again on cosplay will take some more time.

I actually have on my Dutch passport as 'call name' Maakie and as full name my given name. :) But unfortunately by the Finnish immigration system it was not accepted as they don't agree with 'call names' (it apparently does not exist here?). As I'm busy with other paperwork here it's of really low priority, my job accepted my explanation for the other name use and I assume in at least personal life most people wouldn't make too big of a deal from it. It's only for the official documents that I have to use my given name.

I feel like...we can't plan anything anymore for 2020... My only plans for this year are in September my sister her wedding and in October a vacation I booked a year ago (before we had even any clue about corona becoming a thing). Even though both are still many months away I feel like they are both going to be cancelled... 

I don't know about you but with the whole Corona scare, even if things open up again, I will be way more hesitant than before with going to buffets, shopping in supermarkets, going to busy events in general...I think I really need to see some more numbers/proof that the world is really safe before I am comfortable in busy places again.

Oh! Monte Carlo, I never went there myself, but it seems very cool! Similar to San Marino hidden away in Italy! :D About the museums in Paris: I think the Mona Lisa is very overrated...it's pretty, but it's so small and you have to keep a huge distance from it. Nice I never went to myself, would love to check it out someday, but I have so much places in Europe higher on my to-visit-list, haha!

Those poppy fields look very cute! But as they remind me of flower fields from my own country they don't wow me as much as people from areas where not so much flowers grow (I guess). xD I'm more impressed when I see high mountains and big canyons because those are things totally not existing in my home country. I'm already surprised by the big hills here in Finland. Our apartment complex is from one side of the road ground floor and the other side 1st. :D

Thanks for the gif too! Oh! While lurking around on your profile, I saw your beginners guide to Vocaloid songs and I feel like such an idiot for recommending my friend Miku's iconic (and older) songs. I only chose her older songs because they were the songs I grew up with back when I was 10. On the bright side though, I did also recommend my friend Mitchie M since he tunes his Vocaloids realistically.

The Vulpix plush you showed in that one article about plushies is really adorable! Are you a Vulpix fan? I see we both want that 1/1 Alolan Vulpix plush grail! If only she was cheap...

Looking forwarding to Water Prism figure too! She'll match well with my Little Mermaid figure and this upcoming Otohime figure. I'll have a Fuzichoco water themed trio! (˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈) ♡ Ah, the dreams.
