Above: gorgeous, amazing Tuula :)

Well, you may already know my three "fufunchis". :) If you happen to be around this page you'll know they're my pet fancy rats :) and even if you dislike rats, if you look closely to my furry friends (that already starred in some of my videoclips like "No matter what they say"). Their names are TUULA (wind), RITVA (birch branch) and TAIKA (magic spell) all coming from finnish names. At the moment of this post Tuula and Ritva are 2 years and five months, which is for lady-rats a respectable age. They've had an unfortunate story with tumours and surgeries, though so far all have been removed successfully with surgeries. Last friday, Tuula was playing as usual, despite their age they are both doing amazingly well, they are playful and happy. Héctor and I were watching a video of Totonika and remembering how suddely she left us when out of the blue, Tuula had a seizure/stroke all of a sudden. She went downhill really fast and I took it quickly downstairs to my bedroom expecting her to die because she was unresponsive, breathing very shallow and obviously unwell. She let herself go and we said our farewells among tears... Tuula was no more :( but then in the middle of my anguish, and this is just how things happens so randomly in this universe, I was speaking to her, I told her "Tuula if you have to leave, mummy will understand, don't worry, though I would have preferred you to stay longer with me". Just like a little miracle her ribs started to move, she was alive! very badly and gravely but alive! When reaching hospital vet, she had laboured breathing and had severe hypothermia (quite normal if you come from the dead!) and semi-comatose  so she spent the weekend in a chamber with oxygen and temperature and medication for possible (unlikely) pneumonia or suspected congestive heart failure. We took samples of her blood, and today we knew she already had liver and kidney failure already at the moment she got to the vet. At this moment, all the time I have with her is a gift, a gift or a miracle, and though we never know when this can happen again, right now Tuula is playing, moving, eating, drinking and stealing oats from a box and trying to escape from the carrier to meet her sisters. She is ALIVE, my little hurricane tornado, untamed just like the WIND like her name means. And WHAT A BEAUTY. I´m happy to share your company a little longer. I love you my sweet friend. Thanks for choosing to stay with me. This extra-time for me is a blessing and you are just amazing. 

And by the way thanks to Laura Miró for sending me these "fimo" miniatures of my "fufunchis". I'm happy we´re still a complete family.

  Above: Tuula as a baby (1 month), she's now two years and a half and has still that cute baby-face with big curious gaze :)

And also to fellow singer songwriter Louisa John Krol and her husband Mark, because they are "fufunchis" godparents all over from Australia sending them treats and gifts :) 

There’s noone that can undertand you better than yourself, your weak points, your assets, your dreams and hopes, listen to your own spirit, be your best friend, as selfish as it sounds, others might hurt you in their prejudice or advice claiming they can know you better than you do. Accept wise advice, integrate it in the system but for final resolutions, listen to your own inner voice. Some people are not born to have sensible, perfectly polished and plotted lives, some of us have a wild spirit that goes its own way in search of strange visionary dreams, we´re free to be the odd ones out, and try to pursue them, there´s nothing wrong in trying it EVEN if you end up failing. If a friend is a friend they’ll have to understand and accept it, if they’re not, they’re aways free to go (in peace). Of course we all have things that we should change as none of us are perfect but it’s us who must be aware and be free to decide  where we want to go. Remember who you were, Be aware of who you are, decide who you will be.

No matter what they say

As some of you know I enjoy fantasy costumes, I have the pleasure to wear pretty things I've been endorsed or even made myself :) and I also keep a blog of fantasy costumes for fun. Said that, as it's pretty obvious I love to Cosplay a lot being my preferred style fairy of course. I really had a hard week, my rat Ritva got sick and underwent surgery, and sleep deprivation and stress did wrong on my energy that needed very much to be boosted.  My baby is doing better :) and now wants attention all the time. She's so cutteeee. And I'm so relieved.

Above: Ritva... "Mum, I'm feeling better, but I enjoy the extra care. More cuddles....!

But I reached my top of stress so I took one day to record with my ensemble and create music, what makes me feel better almost inmediately and then  me and my friend (also make up artist Arashi Hyou) organized a mini-cosplay wig party just to mess around and have fun and have chocolate hehe :) And I'm sharing some snippets and candids right now, though there are a couple of pictures from the photoshoot I'll work on and will share later on, these are the way they were taken.

It made me wonder how different we can look by simply changing our hair, or the colour of our eyes. It´s almost scary LOL

Above: me with red  short red hair wig. I can´t barely recognize myself LOL... :) Still I'm devoted to long hair, always, but like the dark lush read on me.

My contact lenses are courtesy of Kiwiberry 1 Collection :) (thank you). These are brown-orange. Feel tempted of a lush green or purple, or light gray right now... hmmm. must check their site again, they really have affordable cute lenses. It wasn't intended but with this look It reminded me of my own "little red Riding hood" drawing I painted some time back. Definitely wolf-eyes! There is no color correction in this photography except for the light we used when it was taken, so that's how the contact lenses look like with no alteration.  I have a lolita wavy wig in a tone darker than my natural, :) I love fringe, not intending to dye but starting to think "fringe" can be an option :) As I said, though not intended I thought of the Red Riding Hood I painted myself some time back

Here's the drawing I'm referring to

me and Arashi waving "hi" on an instant shot we networked when we were having fun. The white wig is from Lockshop wigs and you'll see it soon on me (next videoclip hint hint LOL hahhaa)

Lots of fun LOL

Above: getting silly, but don't worry, among hundreds there's like "two serious" pictures hahah you might see soon XD

Above: me and Arashi on a cell instant shot :) we shared in our networks when we were having fun! Another me! Many faces, one heart :) <3

Still more make overs LOL hahha :)

I've never denied that my favorite band and one of my greatest influence is the british new-wave group Tears for Fears :) I have all their discography and I confess I know by heart many of their songs. Past March it was the 30th anniversary of their first album (ohh that makes me feel really vintage) "The Hurting". Thus I encouraged myself to make a reinterpretation of one of they most known songs. Mad World, written by Orzabal and sung by Curt Smith, premiered as single late 1982 and within The Hurting in 1983. This song became popular due to a cover by Gary Jules, and though I love Jules version it really annoys me that many have forgotten the original source, credit and composers, and thus I picked this one that I made improvising choirs inspired in the original electronic TFF version. I cover many of their songs when I'm alone at the piano so I may try to make a few other versions soon but so far I hope you like it, and remember there's nothing like the original so be sure to check the original song after  watching mine :) Feedback is welcome though and I'm thrilled that Curt Smith himself made a retweet of my humble tribute, just because of that I'm very happy :). So here it is me playing piano, harp, synth, flute and percussions too.
