Default My Daily Blog :)

Well... I wanted to start this personal blog cause i feel free to talk whatever i want to.... So lets start! (Sorry for the typos i'm not english native)

Today was a good day actually, i started the second level of my french courses (2 out of 17 lol), i'm used to listen to Toc de Mac before i start with the day officially and it really motivates me. Talking about the french class, during the mean time i talked with my new teacher and she asked me "What do you do to learn french?" and answered "well... I always listen to a French singer called Alizée" and then i showed her one Alizée's song because i wanted to know if she recognize her and my teacher's expression was like "i know who's her and i'm impressed that you listen to her music!" but i don't really know if she knows Alizée or not. The class finished okay but i still prefer my first level teacher haha.

By the way, today i friend asked me how can i always listen to Alizée without getting tired and i didn't know how to answer, the reason is probably Alizée is the kind of singer i always wanted to listen to, her music is my musical taste in a nutshell, Mes Courants Electriques for me is the best album i've ever listened to because it's energizing and combines a lot of instruments at the same time (the case of Toc de Mac), every song is completely different to the other, coeur deja pris is magic and its video clips are awesome (i prefer A contre courant video cause it's like the typical musical video of those times performed in a abandoned building and i love that! <3) so... Maybe the answer is that i ALWAYS listen to Alizée cause her music match with me and she as a person seems kind and sweet! (i write this lines cause i read jessica's letters and i really loved how she described Alizée's personality <3)

finally i want to say that i love this place, it lets me connect with Alizée (the person) even though i don't contribute a lot compared to other members, but i'm okay : D

à bientôt!

(Btw i love this piano cover of Toc de Mac http://soundcloud.com/velectrody/ali...e-megalizeecom) bye bye!

Story 1 (6/9/18)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, i want to tell you guys about a story that have happened to me like 3 month ago:


first of all this is my actual collection of Alizée: http://www.dropbox.com/s/6uj9h9oluxq...24028.jpg?dl=0 (i know is pretty petit compared to other members collections)

I have a petit story with Mes courants electriques. When i bought Gourmandises my parents couldn't understand why a teenager would want a disk in 2018, back then every day before gourmandises arrived at my house my parents asked me the same thing, yeah it was pretty annoying, then they stopped days after the disc arrived but with Mes courants electriques was a bit different because when i bought it on Amazon my father didn't notice that he bought 2 copies instead one and he was suppeeeeer mad hahah, we couldn't return the second copy bought by mistake, the times passed and both arrived, i remember that day cause when i opened the box with the albums one of them was supeeeeeeeeeeeeer broken:

1.-http://www.dropbox.com/s/8r53erqzsdv...24145.jpg?dl=0

2.-http://www.dropbox.com/s/6o95x6apzql...24153.jpg?dl=0

But the other one was in pretty good conditions (the one you can see in the first link) this would sound rude but i'm happy that we bought a second copy by mistake because if the broken one arrives i would cry a lot, haha my father wants to return the broken MCE but maybe he will never do it.

this is my petit story (if my father doesn't return it by the time i'm gonna move to USA i'll grab the disk as mine haha, that's the only thing valuable there)

Edsel,

I'm really impressed by you. Are we to understand that you are becoming fluent in three languages: English, Spanish, and now French? And all this while you are in school studying to become a systems engineer. Takes my breath away.

Default Hellooooo!!!

Hello ! How is it going!? Yes, i know, it's been a while since my last post, but i just wanted to let you guys know that i'm doing okay, and also i wanted to catch up with what has happened so far.

Well... As you guys know, i'm in Colombia, i've been very inactive because i've been studying a lot to get into College and fortunately enough i took an entrance admission test last friday and tomorrow i get the results ! i hope i get accepted

Without further ado, i'm going to tell you guys the most important/interesting thing that have happened to me these months in which i've been inactive:

I had to go to a school for a month and a half to get prepared for a test that every colombian highschool student have to take before going to college, and in that place i met a girl, she is fluent in french and one day i was bored in class and i wanted to watch J'en ai marre performance, and she was behind me and she watched the video and she told me 'Omg i love that singer and i like that song' and i was like 'oh god!' and thanks to that i met another fan ^^.

I've also been studying a lot of French, every time i study i put some Alizée songs in the background because i can understand the lyrics and also she helps me to have a good time while studying.

well this is pretty much it, i'm sorry if you guys expected more from me but this is what i can think of right now haha, i hope everything goes well for you guys! xoxo

Edsel, no expectations on my part. It's good enough to know you are doing well!

I know you have a lot going on and it's always great when you pop in and say hello.

This story reminds me of my copy of Mes courants électriques, which I consider my little treasure, since it is the only Alizée album I have for now.

A few months ago I finally managed to find a copy of it at a good price on Amazon (don't know why but a lot of MCE and Gourmandises copies are sold at 50€) and I was extremely happy to have my first Alizée's album. So it arrived... but i have the feeling that something is wrong...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9090s45rp7...94049.jpg?dl=0

Now I don't know if I shoud buy Gourmandises or MCE again...

Like CleverCowboy said, Gourmandises cd, but in an MCE case.

I believe I have an unopened MCE cd, still in the wrapper, but the case has a crack in it. I could post a picture. You could always replace the case. I also have an autographed 5 cd. I sell mine at cost, plus shipping. If you're interested, let me know. I might also have something else.
