Hello everyone! How are you?
I thought I had to update you a little about my life, since there have been good (and bad) news recently! This place sometimes feels like home for me, I met nice people and I know there are nice lurking readers who care about me, so I want to share with you what’s going on recently.
First and most importantly: I was supposed to get married on May 24th, but it’s impossible in this situation and I had to reschedule it all. You probably won’t believe me, but making decisions and call all the people involved was even more stressing than starting wedding preparations from zero.
The worst part was deciding if I wanted to postpone it all next year or trying to have a decent celebration while coronavirus is still around.
In the end, we decided that we are going to sign our wedding papers, becoming officially husband and wife, next month, on June 30th, which is also my birthday.
I admit this was mostly my choice: I was depressed, thinking about how corona crushed my plans and dreams for this year, so I needed to give myself a nice birthday present. I had to cancel my Japan trip and wedding party, but at least I need to accomplish something on that day, so this 2020 won’t feel like a waste of time.
Me and my boyfriend talked a lot about the celebration, since restaurants probably will start opening next month, but we couldn’t imagine a party with masks and social distancing: it’s supposed to be a fun event, I don’t want my guests to come scared for their lives.
In the end, we decided it to hold our wedding party next year, again on June 30th, so it will be our first anniversary celebration too! I need to wait one more year to wear my red dress, but at least it will be a great day and memory.
You may think I’m heartless, but canceling my Japan trip made me even angrier than postponing my wedding: I miss Japan so much, I’ve been looking forward to this trip since October!
And now, I’ll need to wait for another year. We still haven’t decided the exact dates, but probably we’ll leave on mid-July, hoping next year this corona nightmare will be settled completely.
I wish I had a great news to end this post make it brighter, but there’s another bitter note I want to add: my credit card has been cloned and I’ve been stolen 150 euro.
I had to block it, ask for a refund, deal with annoying stuff… It wasn’t fun.
It isn’t over yet, but I’m positive I’ll receive my money back soon. Or at least, I hope so!
Now I kinda feel guilty for wasting your time while telling you about my sad life………… I hope yours is better lately, even if these are though times for everyone.
On a side note, happier this time, I’m basically done with Usotsuki Shangri La and my review is coming very soon! I also wrote a new TOP10 yesterday, so you can expect funnier updates next week!
Stay healthy and thanks for reading, as usual!

Hi. So sorry to hear that! This is really the unprecedented time… I hope you and your family are fine! Is the situation in Italy getting better now?

Hello! the situation is getting really better now, stores and restaurants reopened and new infected seem to be under control. Of course, we have to be careful, in my area we still need to wear a mask everywhere, but I can’t complain, I feel safer. How’s the situation in your country?

I am glad to hear that! Im in Australia now. The government is heading toward the new”normal” path where States are starting to open their border. There is some sudden outbreak in some states such as Victoria but luckily I am not living there… However we are still advised to take extra precautions and maintain social distance at the moment…

I guess social distancing will be our new normality, at least for 2020.
Anyway, I’m glad in our contries the situation is improving, let’s hope the worst is gone!
