For those who have been checking in and reading this blog, thank you for keeping up! I know it's been a really long time since I last updated here. But all is well.
2025 has been quite a rough ride for me health wise. It began from a pre-existing injury that I had many years ago and I guess my body decided, yes 2025 is the year to be crippled. I will use the next post as a more detailed medical update. All is well now though.
Since my last post, I haven't gone on any vacations out of the country (lame), haven't bought any handbags (lame), haven't bought any heels (lame) and this is all thanks to inflation (lame), but I started a new obsession with Sanrio's character: Kuromi (lame). I still love Stitch though! Still my favourite Disney character.
Big shout-out as well to the team for Stitch movie, as it was the only North American movie in 2025 to cross the $1B mark back in July!
Build-A-Bear workshop has massive Sanrio characters that can be purchased online (but for some reason not available in stores here in Canada). Small and regular size characters are all available in store. So, what did I do this time? I ordered a massive Kuromi. Decided to stuff in stores. I remember we brought the shell to the store and the look on the employee's face when she realized it was not the regular sized character, but the massive size one. "Yeah, this is going to take at least 15 minutes to fill."
She was not joking.
Unfortunately there aren't any clothes from the store that will fit these massive characters. The only thing you can buy is the character's themed tie but that's about it. You might have to find clothes at a children's clothing store to fit these massive bears. In the meantime, Kuromi will remain naked.
Next up: cars.
No, I did not buy any new cars (lame). My Genesis and Cayman S remain with me. Aside from the one cruise that I did in April with hubby and friends, the rest of the time I had to put a pause this year on car cruises and meets due to the medical issues. It sucks, but it is what it is. Hopefully 2026 car season will be a better outcome. Otherwise I live vicariously through other people's social stories.
Our beloved date spot (Koi Klaw) unfortunately closed back in April so we had to finish up our remaining credits and claim our massive plushie prizes. I'm not sure if another similar company will be taking over, but for now it remains closed.
I will now save my energy for the next post, as it will detail the majority of my 2025 journey. Stay tuned.
