Q&A

Publié par Gaelle.R 7 Octobre 2021 à 07:32 PM

This is getting more of a recurring thing but I love being asked interesting questions because I get to open up new topics that can also be fun for the person who's asking the questions. You can answer these questions on your own too!

1. What's my favorite music genre?

Ok that is a trick question because I have a wide range of music that I enjoy but let me tell you about my least favorites which are country music, reggae and I hate heavy metal. So now that we got those 3 out of the way I like Rnb, Jazz, classical music and vintage music like the songs I told you about yesterday, right now I am listening to the Beatles ob-la-di,ob-la-da and I love that song it makes me think of my high school days because I used to listen to "back in the USSRI" a lot which is another song by the Beatles.

2. what movie do I like to watch?

I like coming of age movies, comedy, period drama and movies with less violence because even if I watch them I always feel sick in my stomach after, for example I watched the old guard on netflix which wasn't bad but there was a lot of killing so that didn't sit well with my spirit, another movie sas rise of the black swan on Netflix was very upsetting to me even if Rubi Rose looked so pretty in there but I like miss Sloane another movie on netflix. So basically I like to watch strong independent female protagonist in action! I am not a feminist but I do believe that men has a certain power and women has another type of power so we are both powerful in different ways; to each their own.

3. do I have a type?

HAHA. Yes! but who doesn't? even if you think you don't have one look at the person you're interested in right now and also look at the ones you used to be interested in I guarantee you there a small chance of some similarities.

5. favorite band?

The drifters, one direction when they were together I didn't like them a lot but I tolerate them, the chiffons, the crystals, the Everly brothers, the ventures, the beatles, fifth harmony when they were a band, little mix, kalin twins, the temptations... like I said my taste is broad.

6. best gift ever received?

"you were sweet and gentle without knowing I wanted to love and protect you..." I often write about you.

This person was a dearest friend, he made a cd of all the songs that reminded him of me!

Yesterday while Archie was laying on me and staring at me with his big green eyes in a loving sort of way and I was making a phone call, I imagine him thinking wow "I have an amazing mom!". I could tell he was admiring me because his pupils were dilated and getting smaller. I smiled but little did he know that I was making an appointment for him to have surgery soon! he is getting neutered in November which means he can no longer have babies which is fine with me because I don't want him to go around making babies not that he ever goes out. I am neutering him because if I don't he will start spraying and peeing everywhere... I don't want that and he can also become more aggressive if I don't neuter him early and he's already a little aggressive at times.

Next month I will drop him off early in the morning and pick him up the very next day! one night without Archie wow I cannot imagine what that would feel like...

hey guys,

Earlier I shared my playlist with you all because I really wanted to and I have been listening to all of those songs a lot lately; I guess they make me smile and they make me want to dance especially in the car on my way to work. When I like something I tend to tell everyone about it even if I know not a lot of people will care; I do it because it's quite rare for me to get excited about anything and when I do get excited I cherish that moment because it doesn't last long. I am always glad when someone take a part of my excitement and to me that is the most precious gift anyone could give me, when someone appreciate a song I sent them or a picture of a cat or anything funny that I share with them that makes me really happy.

I am fond of the little things, I don't really care about the grand gestures because anyone can do those, to me they aren't intimate but when someone remember to do the smallest thing for me just because they know I will like it that means way more to me... I guess most of us likes to feel special and we shouldn't be embarrassed by that because we deserve to feel that way.

"I am never afraid to cry because it's an human expression and sometimes that's all we need to do."

I can watch all of these movies over and over again without getting bored. I watch these on my bad days and when I am sad. I usually just watch all the Audrey Hepburn movies that I love, I have a DVD with all of them so I just binge watch all of them with a bowl of ice cream while I cry with Archie sleeping on my chest not understanding what's going on but is just happy to be warm on my chest or on my belly. I can't believe Archie would just sleep when I am crying ! I need a dog.

1. Breakfast at tiffany (Audrey Hepburn)

2. roman holiday (Audrey Hepburn)

4. funny face (Audrey Hepburn)

5. Love in the afternoon. (Audrey Hepburn)

6. Paris when it sizzles (Audrey Hepburn)

7.sabrina (Audrey Hepburn)

Non Audrey Hepburn movies

15. the bleu lagoon

a silly quote from the movie monstruck lol

Publié par Gaelle.R 5 Octobre 2021 à 08:06 PM

Rose: " why do men chase women."

Jhonny: "Well, there's a Bible story... God... God took a rib from Adam and made Eve. Now maybe men chase women to get the rib back. When God took the rib, he left a big hole there, where there used to be something. And the women have that. Now maybe, just maybe, a man isn't complete as a man without a woman."

Stromae

Publié par Gaelle.R 5 Octobre 2021 à 05:29 PM

Il est mon chanteur français préféré et il vient de Belgique. Je peux dire qu’il m’a fait apprécier la music française un peu plus qu'avant parce que je croyais qu’il y avait que des chansonnettes française comme musique en français et bien sûr que j’ai aimé Céline Dion, Hélène sépara, Garou et Amel Bent mais ces chanteurs là ne chante pas comme Stromae. Il a une voix exceptionnelle et sa façon de représenter les choses ou plutôt nos problèmes de tout les jours est tellement différente des autres chanteurs. Il a la voix, le style, le son et le rythme.

J’aime regarder son concert à Montréal c’est sur YouTube, dans ce concert il a chanter tout son album racine carré qui est ma préféré mais j’aime aussi son album cheese. Il est très sympa dans ses interview et j’adore sa façon de parler, d’habiller et il apparaît vraiment d’être quelqu’un très sage. Il a eu un burn-out et maintenant il ne chante plus mais j’attends impatiemment pour qu’il revienne parce que la musique française est entrain pleurer en son absence.

J’avoue qu’il y a beaucoup d’autre artiste qui fait la rage en ce moment mais stromae a été toujours mon préféré depuis 2010 jusqu’à nos jours. J’aime aussi Dadju et son frère maître Gims même si personne ne la vu sans ses lunettes de soleil ! Bon c’est vraiment son style si toi tu a vu maître Gims sans ses lunettes s’il te plaît envoie moi une photo! J’espère que stromae recommence à chanter parce qu’il a beaucoup trop de talent pour tout abandonner.

MJ.

Publié par Gaelle.R 5 Octobre 2021 à 04:24 PM

This will be about Michael Jackson and some examples of other artist that I also love; I don't think it's remotely fair to compare Michael Jackson to any other singer and that is just my opinion because he is just unique. Disclaimer I am not talking about Michael as a person, am talking about the artist that he was because I never knew him personally to know who he really was but I love his art. I love music very much and I can't go one day without going on Spotify or any other music app because to me music is the biggest art form ever to exist. Michael is the only artist to me who is not overrated at all, he was one of the best musician and entertainer to ever walk this earth and I say this with complete honesty without praising the guy because he is not God.

The year that I was born Michael was dropping hits; he was not at his prime but he was definitely the best, wait maybe he was at his prime but to me Michael at his prime was in the 1980's and I wish I was there to witness his hits on national television but either way I am happy that I grew up listening to him. Before I knew what music was I wasn't aware of his greatness but as I became older I really started paying attention especially after his death in 2009 I was in 6th grade I think and I was watching his old concert on tv every single day; I even cried because he was that good in all of his concerts. I get very emotional especially when something is really good! so basically I shed a lot of tears for him. I was mourning his loss without knowing and I remember saying I wish I was paying more attention to realize how good he really was. I am not even going to get into the whole colorism issue because I never cared about his skin color, his art was bigger than everything else happening. I don't care about what people said because I never wanted to be invested in all of that I would listen to his songs, watch his concert and call it a day. I don't care about who he was dating, his sexual orientation, who he got married to all of that is his private life.

I finally understand it now as I want to publish books and things like that; I imagine myself working on a book for 4 years, losing sleep and having my editor sending back 10 pages of rewrite because English is not my first language so of course my first edition will be hard... but with all of this struggle and to finally end up in the bestsellers list and to have an interviewer asking me who am I dating ?! like what? what about my book and all the struggle I went through to make it happen. Side note I am always learning to be a better writer in the English language which is why I read a lot. I grew up learning and speaking French at school which is why writing in French has always been easier than writing in English but I took a break from French just so I can get better at writing English because practice make perfect. Anyway, Michael's personal life was always in the face of the media when they should have concentrated on his music instead of his skin color, his voice or his dating life... I love watching him live because he is very talented. He didn't have to curse or do anything degrading for people to appreciate his music because he was just talented. I will definitely introduce my kid to the ABC song if I have any kids in the future because his voice was so angelic in that song!

I also like Billie Eillish as a new artist and her music usually take me to a very emotional state which is why I don't listen to her a lot unless I am already sad but I mean it's not helping because I will start crying especially when I listen to her song before I go. She is talented as well but nowhere near Mj and I don't think she is trying to be him either; some people are criticizing her latest album happier than ever because I guess she sounds a tiny bit happier but she should be happy!. I don't understand why some people love other people's misery. I find her latest album to be inspiring and a bit mature than her old albums, she is growing up and so is her music. I also love Elvis Presley because of his big and harmonious voice...he was talented as well. I love those old musicians because their music eludes love in the purest form, a great message and no curse words!

un sujet cool

Publié par Gaelle.R 4 Octobre 2021 à 05:46 PM

Salut!

Je vais commencé à discuter un sujet un peu personnel mais ça ne me pose aucun problème de clarifier les choses. Parfois, les gens me demandent mais pourquoi tu restes seule tout le temps? ou pourquoi tu es encore célibataire? Pour bien vous dire ces questions là ne m’ennuie pas du tout et la plupart des fois ce sont des gens qui me connaissent qui me le demande parce qu’il est rare pour moi de rencontrer quelqu’un par hasard, qu’on devient tout à fait à l’aise sur le champs et pour qu’on passe à l’étape des questions osées. Parfois j’ai l’impression que les gens sont intimidés par ma façon d’être mais j’essaie de mettre à l’aise tout les gens que je rencontre mais parfois c’est un peu difficile pour moi vu mon caractère introvertie et taciturne mais je fais de mon mieux crois moi. J’aime rencontrer des gens cool et sympa et j’avoue que la plus part des fois c’est vraiment stressant pour moi.

Alors revenons à nos moutons, quand les gens me demande pourquoi j’aime rester seule je leurs répond toujours c’est parce que je préfère d’être seule mais ça c’est un mensonge, la réalité c’est que je n’ai pas encore eu la chance de rencontré quelqu’un dont je veux passer tout mon temps avec, c’est facile pour moi de perdre tout l’intérêt à quelqu’un que je trouvais intéressant il y’a quelques temps et ça viens à la réponse de la deuxième question je suis toujours célibataire par ce qu’il n’y a personne qui a pu capter mon attention… oui j’ai rencontré des gars vraiment sympa mais pas assez pour me rendre heureuse. En toute sincérité j’aime la vie célibataire pour le moment parce que je me sens libre, j’apprécie ma paix et ma vie sereine; je peux parler à qui je veux et j’ai aucun compte à rendre à personne. Pour commencer je suis une femme très indépendante, j’aime tout contrôler et je pense quand on tombe amoureux de quelqu’un on perd tout le contrôle et moi je ne suis pas prête à ça ou plutôt je n’ai pas encore rencontré quelqu’un digne pour moi de perdre tout le contrôle des choses. Euhm… je sais que c’est un peu rare et difficile a expliquer et mes anciens amis me disaient toujours que je dois changer d’avis et je leurs répondais toujours que je changerai d’avis pour la bonne personne pour le moment laisse moi savourer ma vie seule :)

Very stubborn.

" I find it amusing when someone is telling me how to live my life, how to act or what types of relationship I should be seeking; it all sounds great but no one is going to help me sleep at night. As long as the decisions that I make for myself doesn't make it difficult for me to sleep at night I will take them otherwise there's nothing else anyone can do to make me change my beliefs."
