FEH: Pets Expansion
So some expansion on pet names so I don’t forget them all (orz...) There’s a lot, and it includes mounts as pets.
For now, I’ll limit it to just kiransonas and their s-supports tho (I can make more headcanons for things like fic pets or extra info on Teru and Kyo’s pokemon or Sparrow’s digimon beyond the important ones).
Erin eventually as a white griffon mount she named Sophitia. Originally, Ryoma and Camilla were (playfully) tense in their debates of whether Erin should have a kinshi mount like Ryoma, or a wyvern mount (like Camilla, if not just inherit one of her two outright), all while Hrid stayed out of the debate (and wasn’t assertive enough to be all “but horse...”). He got the last laugh when Erin, as it turns out, likes to do quite the stunts high up in the air with Sophitia and a hoop, particularly when she herself has wings and a still-low sense of self-preservation.
Ryoma has a kinshi named Mitsuhide, who is fairly calm, easy to get along with, and he’s very passive, enough so as to often be used by Ryoma to personally tutor others on riding flying mounts in general. Compared to Takumi’s birds (of which he has many and is usually the authority of kinshis, compared to how Hinoka staked her claim on pegasi), Mitsuhide is fairly low maintenance and isn’t as fussy. He also has a dog named Shizue, who is the complete opposite, runs all over the place, tries to chew up everything, and gets away with it all with cuteness.
Camilla has two wyverns, both of which are malig (undead). Marzia is the larger one, less spiky, and is more used to slaughtering anything in sight en masse without regards. Aeneas is the smaller one, has more spikes or fringes, and he’s much more precise but no less deadly, thus focuses on more specific targets in missions. Both adore Camilla, and are passive off the field of battle, but they tend to be overprotective of the mounts of Camilla’s siblings and spouses. They’re also mates to one another.
Hrid’s horse is named Heim. He’s very passive, and arguably a lot like Hrid in personality, with the exception that he’s far more comfortable with Hrid no matter the form the prince takes, even when Hrid himself is still uncomfortable with himself to some degrees in his crane form.
---
Teru can make up an entire post of his own in terms of his pokemon, but the primary ones to name outright were Anise (a chansey Reinhardt personally sought out and captured... which was a doozy in itself to describe...), Bella/Bellini (a shiny cursola who was formerly a shiny Johtonian corsola that lost her life to the Heart’s Rite, thus transforming her into a Galarian corsola and then evolved, only to pretend to be a corsola still anyways despite her coloring), Cress (dracozolt, who is pure babie, and is especially the overly babied of not just Teru’s pokemon, but the mounts and pets of his s-supports and also Reinhardt), Chai (pikachu), Lilikoi (lapras, and primary transport in water), Vin (charizard), Madeline (a latias Teru befriends and is his primary transport in the air), Ambrosia (a xerneas he eventually befriends, who hid in the form of a tree in the aether resorts well before Teru finally gets her), Papri (shaymin, and Teru’s first legendary he befriended), and Dijon (rapidash). Honorable mention goes to Dijon in that Dijon was meant to be Teru’s attempt to get himself a horse mount in a time all but two of his S-supports have horse mounts, which would’ve been fine, except...
“...”
“...Dijon’s a horse, it counts.”
“...He’s on fire.”
“But it’s safe to ride him!”
“Did you miss the part where your horse is on fire?!”
Reinhardt’s horse is named Betsla, who is admittedly calm, gets along well with the other horses, and is far and well very calm after being desensitized from the sheer amount of dire thunders her rider uses to stop being easily startled by them or natural thunderstorms. The other horses, not so much. Except the pokemon ones. He also has a malig wyvern named Leikn, who is usually and frequently loaned out to Tethys that unofficially, she may as well have been hers instead.
Xander’s horse is Hadrien, and he has supernaturally iron-clad kneecaps for just the kind of stunts Xander kept pulling off time and again with him. Despite keeping a level head in battle, duty, and whenever otherwise he must, when he’s not in an overly guarded mood, he’s surprisingly flighty, shy, easily startled, and the quickest to run away, particularly when seeing a new pokemon of Teru’s for the first time. However, he also has no real scope in what he fears and by how much, so he’ll freak out at something like a hydreigon with the same scope as he would a wee liddol cutiefly. He also has a cat who was initially named Oriane, up until Xander found out the hard way “he” is more of an Oriana instead, and she is pure unleaded bastard to those who aren’t Xander’s lovers or Shizue. Despite Feh adoring Xander, Oriana is overly fickle of her feelings for the owl in kind.
Gunnthra’s horse is Gylfa. He’s siblings with Heim, and like his brother, has a gentle, calm attitude who is easy to get along with and tend to.
Takumi’s kinshi he primarily uses is Akechi, but he hand-rears or otherwise manages more kinshis in general. Compared to Mitsuhide, Akechi is more lively, acts bouncier and eager, and is harder for newbie riders to manage. Still, Takumi manages perfectly.
---
Sparrow manages many different varieties of digimon, but the three primary partner digimon she has are Lerena, Angelique and Devinia. Their common “base” forms include a renamon, angewomon and ladydevimon respectively, but in Sparrow’s own world, or sometimes in Zenith, the three collectively learned how to transform into cats to better disguise themselves in plain sight, much like Mirei’s angewomon and ladydevimon (and even ICly inspired by other tamers who were, at the root, inspired by her, as to make a plugin for such outright public). (Note: From Sparrow’s continuity, it is very commonplace for tamers to start and maintain three active partners at a time, but manage many more in digifarms. The rules of these are more in line with what is similarly seen in the games, compared to the anime’s idea of digidestined and tamers where tamers usually have one partner and rarely two). The collective three are lovers to one another and act like older sisters (if not motherly or aunt-like figures) toward Sparrow and eventually Chrom.
Lerena takes the form of a golden british shorthair sometimes and sticks to the evolutionary tree of Yokomon -> Renamon -> Kyubimon -> Taomon -> Sakuyamon. Even as Renamon, she sometimes takes on a human-like form through powers related to disguises to better fit in line with Angelique or Devinia (who both usually remain in human-like forms themselves) whose form is similar to the miko mode of Sakuyamon. As kyubimon, she helped Chrom train in mounted combat, and was patient with him in his clumsiness and prone ability to slip off her off the side even when she remains still. She is usually the most conscious of Sparrow’s well-being.
Angelique takes the form of a white Norwegian forest cat, who is an absolute floof-beast akin to Angewomon’s fluffy wings, assuming she doesn’t remain in her actual form or downgrade to gatomon otherwise. She sticks to the evolution tree of Nyaromon -> Salamon -> Gatomon -> Angewomon -> combine with Devinia to become Mastemon. She is usually the most conscious of keeping things tidy, decently in order, and making sure things doesn’t implode, but she’s more chaotic neutral than even Devinia in terms of “so long as Sparrow, Chrom, and all of us are fine, what’s a few explosions or so between friends? : )”
Devinia takes the form of a black tabby and has very vague stripes to fit the rough ruggedness of Ladydevimon’s leathery and torn-up clothing style, assuming she doesn’t remain in her actual form or downgrade to blacktailmon otherwise. She sticks to the evolutionary tree of DarkNyaromon -> DarkSalamon -> BlackTailmon -> LadyDevimon -> combine with Angelique to become Mastemon. She’s crude, speaks with a distinct accent, and is rather crude in the ways she talks to and of both Sparrow and Chrom. However, she’s surprisingly more genuine of her feelings compared to Angelique being more inclined to lie to save face, and is usually more honest of what’s on her mind and why while surprisingly a little more keen to be less destructive unless the target sufficiently earned her ire or that of her lovers.
Which leaves Chrom’s eventual horse, Frid, who was so named in honor of his Frederick, who was killed. Once he gained confidence with horse-riding, he opted to adopt Frid and use him in combat (in line with his promoted alt).
---
Like Teru, Kyo has many pokemon, so I’ll limit it to the more notable ones. However, he has some pokemon he gained over the course of his first initial timeline with Kamui and Lifonse whom the latter two kept, but he didn’t otherwise recapture in the present timeline. The pokemon he has presently were pokemon whose past-timeline-iterations all perished not long after Kyo had, due to the Heart’s Rite. The only exception to either of these were the celebi Kamui and Lifonse befriended/captured, whom they both agreed to name Iounn, and who is otherwise the least utilized battle-wise.
The pokemon in Kyo’s immediate party were Gibson (blaziken), Alize (gardevoir), Jack (Inteleon, his starter), Burgundy (salamence) and Bailey (bidoof, his very first captured pokemon). All of their past-timeline incarnations died to the Heart’s Rite when Kamui and Lifonse couldn’t retrieve them in time in Kamui’s efforts to try to rescue Lifonse before Hel could’ve fully corrupted him (like Lif). However, because of this, there remains low-key grief and tension when they lacked the memories the other pokemon grew accustomed to in trying to come to terms seeing their friends alive again, but in a different time.
The pokemon to remain with Kamui and Lifonse, who were rescued from the Heart’s Rite, were Dominic (mimikyu), Danielle (shiny blissey), Margarite (milotic), Grey (corviknight), Crystal (shiny sylveon) and Hen/Hennessy (rotom, who frequently embeds itself in Kyo’s tech sometimes). Though have mixed feelings of obeying Kamui and Lifonse in regards to league tournaments or pokemon battles, they understood the grave situation in regards to Kamui and Lifonse being their new trainers enough not to give them further grief by disobeying them in more critical skirmishes or in regards to helping Kyo. A part of this also relates to their own mixed feelings in trying to rekindle their feelings for Kyo after also seeing him die once before.
Eclair also eventually gains a pet pokemon in the form of a wooper (or what’s presumed to be such, they’re based on beta wooper) named Woopy.
#My Kiransona things#My OCs Headcanons#I came up with completely different names for some of these#Especially Ryoma's and Xander's animals#but the names were different in other fics#and I didn't want to make it more confusing to include them in this post#Summoner OC Erin#Summoner OC Teru#Summoner OC Sparrow#Summoner OC Kyo#Summoner OC Eclair

The Heart and Soul: Cubao Expo and Ali X
As a child of strict parents, my options on venturing far are very limited. Any place outside Quezon City is a no-no so I thought to myself, “What now?” Luckily, Cubao is a few blocks from my house and off I went, along with Gabriel Gillego and Michael Parocha last January 4.
If you are a fan of Bita and the Botflies, the indie band, they featured Cubao in one of their music videos, “Tagu-taguan.” The whole song illustrates the vibe the place has to offer, it is a place for the laid-back, the eccentric, and peculiar. Cubao is also the Stellan’s third home, with students frequenting the area after school hours. Even former Stellans still roam around the area.
Cubao is alive in the hearts of the Quezon City people 24/7. While the sun is up, the neighboring malls give them several choices on where to shop. Famously known for the malls like Gateway, Farmer’s Plaza, Alimall, and SM Cubao. And if you want to go grocery shopping, there’s Puregold, Shopwise, and Isetan! Did you know that Shopwise stands at the former Fiesta Carnival? And what is Cubao without the Araneta Coliseum and the New Frontier Theatre? The former is known for hosting the much-awaited UAAP games while the latter hosts concerts from both local and international artists.
With Cubao being jam-packed at day, it’s somewhat different at night when the lanterns of Manhattan lights up! In my opinion, that’s when its real beauty comes out, through the music and get-togethers on the areas of bars, restaurants, and many more.Now how would one go to Cubao? Well, if you’re a student from Stella Maris College, just cross the road from the Cambridge street, and you’re golden! But if you’re from another school, take the LRT and get off the Araneta-Cubao station. You can also take the MRT as well as jeepneys to arrive at the place. Since I live near the vicinity, I just walk. It’s my daily exercise.
While the rest of the city sleeps, Cubao Expo comes to life.
Formerly known as the Marikina Shoe Expo, Cubao Expo is a go-to for lovers of street and art culture as well as thrift shoppers. Once a place for Marikina made footwear in 1997, though some shoe stops still stand to this day, it saw a revival in the 2000s. The horseshoe-like complex houses shops meant to appeal to a variety of subcultures. There are unique and quirky stores meant to cater to artists, musicians, skaters, surfers, foodies, and party-goers.
Cubao Expo is just a little walk from SM Savemore. At the first end, one is greeted with WCHA Fashion Haus, an ukay-ukay shop. Shops like these are abundant around Cubao, perfect for people who want to look fashionable without breaking the bank and the environment!
I went inside to hopefully try on and find new clothes. And upon entering, I paused. Is it me or is it all ukay shops have that distinctive smell? My nose caught a whiff of the smell of old clothes as if they carried the memories of the people that once worn them or the memories of the department store they came from. While it is true that clothes found here are hand-me-downs, some are new and discarded items. Now thrift shopping is one of my guilty pleasures, I once recalled I spent around 500 pesos at one sitting for clothes. Terrible, I know. The store was kept tidy, it was even air-conditioned! Price tags such as “100 pesos,” “75 pesos,” and “20 pesos” can be found on top of each rack indicating how much that piece of clothing is. There is also an area for “New Arrival” items, but those are too expensive so I avoided them like the plague.
Ukay stores usually get a bad reputation because of how dirty the clothes are, and how these kinds of shops are for the financially-challenged. But I digress, since textile waste from fast fashion is usually a problem, and clothes usually take time to degrade. So why not give thrift shops a chance? Besides, it’s less likely someone has the same piece of clothing and it also encourages you to be creative with your outfits.
After paying for the clothes, we walked down the curved street of the Expo.
Remember Art in Island? How about Bellini’s Italian Restaurant? The Cubao Expo is their home. And as for their neighboring tenants, there were an assortment of shops that can be found. There were shops for shoes, ukeleles and other instruments, organic and eco-friendly products, skateboards, surfboards, streetwear, vinyl records and tapes, books, arts and craft supplies, and one can even get their haircut at a barbershop there!
At the curved point, one can find the cafes and bars Cubao Expo is famously known for, examples are Tacio’s and Humidor. It was a perfect place for a drinking session with one's barkada, with the chill and cozy ambiance coupled with OPM playing in the background and with lights and lanterns above your head. But of course, we didn’t drink.
We also went inside to look at the different antiques and a plethora of things can be found. There were old figurines, vintage telephones, old watches, toys, paintings, even newspaper clippings, and advertisements. At one point, I asked the owner if I can film inside her shop. The lady, with a smile, told me, “No.” I was honestly sad because imagine the IG- worthy shots one can take. But that’s the policy, and we have to abide since we did not want to be kicked out by the security guards roaming the area. After leaving the store, there was also a “No Smoking” sign plastered on the wall.
Our last stop before going to Alimall was the shops offering old cassette tapes and vinyl records. Through the dim lights, I browsed the colorful but worn-out covers of the records. Music artists from across each decade, both local and international, can be found. Most notable were the vinyl records of Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and the Beach Boys. There was even a “The Sound of Music” vinyl!
Aside from Cubao Expo, Ali X is another go-to place for thrift and antique shoppers.
Opened last March 2019, the lantern filled lane of Alimall was inaugurated as ALI X and is said to be inspired by the grand bazaars of Europe. It aims to be a haven for casual goers and hobbyists alike. It houses novelty items, antiques, art, music, and memorabilia. “ALI” stands for Art, Lifestyle, and Interest.
Unlike in Cubao Expo, one can freely film inside the stores. Just make sure you don’t break anything as that is the number one rule here. Once you do, be ready to pay for what you have broken.
We first went inside GMB Collectibles and Hangout, and as expected, we were greeted with several unique and novelty items. Car plates, dusty bottles, old photographs, newspapers, and even old documents were on display. But what caught my eye was the sign “Paki-ayos lang pagkatapos guluhin!” That sign surely made me return the items that I browsed in perfect order. Also, while inspecting the different old documents, I made sure to delicately handle them since some were on their way to disintegrating. The next store we payed a visit was Jem’s Antiques and they had some old coins and old banknotes. And if you’re familiar with the “Mickey Mouse” money during the Japanese era, they also have those too! They also sell postage stamps at 5 pesos each and vintage postcards ranging from 100-200 pesos per card.
A place for the different eras of music, the next stop was at Treskul Records. From the name itself, they sell vinyls, cassette tapes, CDs, and music players. While we were there, a customer handed the shop owner a record and he played it using the turntable. Funky music blasted within the store. The vinyl records were arranged into the genres and decades they belonged too. While we were there, I even saw a vinyl record of an album of The 1975, one of my favorite bands. But as much as I wanted it, I sadly could not afford it since it was too expensive. Another music store, but for instruments, was Happy Music. They offer ukuleles, guitars, kazoos, and kalimbas. Ali- X also has a dinner modeled after the 50’s era. Erin’s Artists’ Lounge and Café serves a variety of dishes from sandwiches, chicken, pork, pasta, and nachos. They also have a mini bulletin board where they feature submitted artworks!
After going to Ali-X, my peers and I were starving. Since they accompanied me, I treated them to a meal at KFC. We were planning to go to COD, an amusement like park that opens during the “-ber” months of the year in Cubao. They have rides such as Vikings and the Ferris Wheel. The place also has a food bazaar perfect for foodies. But alas, my mother called me and told me to go home.
Truly, places like these are special for they keep the history and vibe of the city alive. Maybe next time, I can find more hidden and amazing places. Till then, Cubao Expo and Ali-X will remain the as the “Heart and Soul” of Cubao.

New top story from Time: The Met Opera’s ‘At-Home’ Gala Live Streams Performances to World Silenced by Pandemic
(NEW YORK) — Javier Camarena was at his home in Zurich singing an aria from Bellini’s “Il Pirata” when the screen for the video feed split, and he was joined by Metropolitan Opera music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin in Montreal and general manager Peter Gelb in New York.
“Just a second,” the tenor from Mexico said, raising an index finger.
He had just finished the slow-moving first section. An associate director an ocean away didn’t realize he also planned to perform the cabaletta, the faster-moving second part. Restored to a full screen, Camarena continued.
youtube
With the entertainment world shut down by the coronavirus pandemic, the Met staged an “At-Home Gala” on Saturday that would have been inconceivable to the Vanderbilts and Morgans who helped found the company in 1883. A starry array of classical music’s biggest names sang live on Skype from their living rooms across 13 nations, including Renée Fleming in Virginia, Jonas Kaufmann in Germany, Bryn Terfel in Wales and Roberto Alagna in France.
Thirty-three live and seven prerecorded performances stretched for four hours. The Met said the live stream on its website that started at 1 p.m. EDT Saturday peaked at about 300,000 views in 162 countries and the total with replays was expected to reach 1 million by Sunday night.
Gelb, trying to overcome a budget deficit of up to $60 million, said there were many small donations but it was too early to total.
Keep up to date with our daily coronavirus newsletter by clicking here.
“It was a temporary kind of panacea and it just lifted people’s spirits in a way that would never have happened. This type of program only works because of the horrible conditions that we’re in right now,” Gelb said Sunday. “I got so many e-mails and text messages from people that said that they were in tears for large portions of this program.”

Joyce DiDonato, in Spain, joined seven violists and Nézet-Séguin in a recorded tribute to Vincent Lionti, a Met violist for 33 years who died on April 4 after contracting the coronavirus. Nézet-Séguin sniffled after watching the playback of Handel’s “Ombra mai fu.”
“To lose him to the virus made this reality so much closer, immediate, that we could lose a member of our family to this threat,” Nézet-Séguin said.
Erin Morley, Matthew Polenzani, Étienne Dupuis and Günther Groissböck showed off their piano-playing abilities, accompanying themselves. Dupuis and wife Nicole Car sang a duet from Massenet’s “Thaïs” after an initial connectivity delay.
Artists’ homes were on showcase: Kaufmann has a Bösendorfer piano surrounded by red theater-style seats in Munich; Anita Rachvelishvili has a “NO AUTOGRAPHS PLEASE” sign on her piano in Tbilisi, Georgia; René Pape has a red Le Corbusier chair and decorative Fornasetti globe in Dresden. Groissböck has a model of the Met on his piano and a statue of composer Richard Wagner in a corner wearing a blue facemask with the word: “No.”
Attire ranged from Alagna in a tuxedo jacket, blue jeans and what appeared to be a soccer jersey, to Sonya Yoncheva in a white-and-black recital ready dress.
Her face flush with emotion, Fleming gave one of the most moving performances, the “Ave Maria” from Verdi’s “Otello.” After a few moments of quiet, Gelb’s microphone caught him saying “Go, Gary,” to director Gary Halvorson in Los Angeles, a sign of the unusual technical logistics.
Some singers used recorded piano tracks played by Met director of music administration Thomas Lausmann and assistant conductors Howard Watkins and Bryan Wagorn. Lisette Oropesa went a step further, having a video of pianist Michael Borowitz on a video screen behind her playing “Idole de ma vie” from Meyerbeer’s “Robert Le Diable.”
youtube
Morley provided one of the best performances with fluid voice, considerable piano skill and ebullient personality in “Chacun le sait” from Donizetti’s “La fille du régiment (The Daughter of the Regiment),” imploring viewers to “sing along” for the choruses. Isabel Leonard sang an inspiring a cappella for “Somewhere” from Bernstein’s “West Side Story.”
Another highlight was Diana Damrau and husband Nicolas Testé in “Là ci darem la mano” from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” while standing in front of their kitchen in Orange, France, joined after by excited sons Alexander and Colyn. Unable to perform at home in Vienna, Anna Netrebko and husband Yusif Eyvazov recorded separate pieces at an ORF network studio.
In the hardest technical tasks, lead video editor Pete Scalzitti spent most of the previous week piecing together the individual orchestra and choral videos for the intermezzo from Mascagni’s “Cavelleria Rusticana,” the “Va, pensiero” chorus from Verdi’s “Nabucco” and the third act prelude of Wagner’s “Lohengrin.” Nézet-Séguin air conducted as a video was made, and Lausmann used it to create a piano accompaniment sent to the players and singers. Up to 90 squares were used to show the videos aligned simultaneously, and David Frost mixed most to the audio.
Unable to globe trot, performers were happy to entertain. Many introduced and bantered with the person up next.
“Ooh, it’s fun to get to sing again!” Jamie Barton exclaimed.

Before we go, we have to take one last look at just a few family members! Some of them will be left behind for reasons I've already mentioned. I think I'll only be taking Ginevra, Sawyer and then Michael's sisters and their families, to minimize the chances of relatives dating each other.
Ginevra, of course, keeps drinking their potions of youth. They changed hair again.
Erin is an elder now :')) I would take her to the new save too but I can't forget how she wouldn't stop getting together with Stephen. I think we can pretend she went back to Monte Vista to be with her wife and son (whom I forgot to move to Appaloosa Plains)
Twyla is an elder now! Archer's only human sibling.
And well, lots more sims are now elders, but I'm only gonna show you one, because Rose was among my faves out of the relatives.

Koningin Elisabeth wedstrijd - Klassiek
LAATSTE FINALEAVOND KEW 2018 ZANG: VERRASSENDE EINDUITSLAG, MAAR TERECHTE WINNAAR
Posted by Veerle Deknopper | 13/05/2018 | Concerten | 0
De laatste finaleavond van deze Koningin Elisabethwedstrijd voor zang kreeg een bijzondere wending door de toch wel grotendeels onverwachte uitslag.
Eerst en vooral dient gezegd dat er enkel maar sterke kandidaten waren deze laatste avond, wat de vorige pronostieken totaal onzeker maakte. Eerst en vooral was er de Oekraïnse bariton Yuriy Hadzetskyy (1992) die een zeer mature en vooral mooi gearticuleerde prestatie neerzette. Vooral zijn Mozart werkte in zoals dat bij Mozart hoort. Onze eigen Charlotte Wajnberg (1990 – winnares publieksprijs) zong een zeer integere Händel en Mahler. Dit was voor de fijnproever en is mogelijk niet goed genoeg overgekomen. Daarna zong ze een zeer charismatische Bellini, gevolgd door een gewaagd stuk Poulenc: Non, Monsieur mon mari. Het was dan ook zeer vreemd dat ze net als Hadzetskyy bij de tweede groep van zes laureaten werd geplaatst.
Samuel Hasselhorn (1990), de terechte winnaar, maakte vervolgens zijn opwachting. Men merkte onmiddellijk dat deze Duitse bariton zich kiplekker voelt bij het liedrepertoire. Mahler en Mendelssohn werden met grote precisie gezongen, met die typisch Duitse karakterisering erin. Hij trok dit ook wel door naar Carlos écoute – je meurs van Guiseppe Verdi. Zijn aanwezigheid vulde de zaal, maar dan op een manier dat je er enkel maar bij wil gaan zitten en luisteren. Een consoliderende muzikale ervaring voor de kenner, een streling voor het oor van de liefhebber.
De Frans-Belgische sopraan Marianne Croux (1991) die deze laatste finaleavond optrad, werd ten slotte zesde laureate. Een zuivere, heldere en warme stem. Ze zong trouwens ook een stukje Alban Berg – Die Nachtigall. Dat had nog niemand in deze finale aangedurfd. Het is dan ook wel wat wrang dat zij zesde laureate werd en de Spaanse Rocio Perez vierde. Zij zong tenslotte toch vrij schraal. Nog zo’n verrassing was de Chinese bas Ao Li die desondanks hij het orkest niet kon overstemmen derde werd. Héloïse Mas daarentegen, zij bracht een prachtprestatie. De mezzo met de gouden stem werd slechts vijfde. Het deed een beetje denken aan Yvan Karizna vorig jaar. Hij was ook de terechte pubiekslieveling tijdens de cello-competitie en werd ook vijfde.
De tweede plaats ging totaal terecht naar de uit Frankrijk afkomstige mezzo-sopraan Eva Zaïcik, zij zette tenslotte een fenomenale Bach en Purcell neer.
Een volledig overzicht van de finale, geschreven door Erna Metdepenninghen volgt.

Eigen mening:
Vorige week heb ik naar de finale van de Koningin Elisabeth wedstrijd gekeken. Het was mijn allereerste keer dat ik ernaar heb gekeken. Het was ook de allereerste keer dat ik zo een lange tijd naar klassieke muziek heb geluisterd. In het begin leek het me een onmogelijke opdracht om het helemaal uit te kijken. Ik moet toegeven terwijl ik aan het kijken was heb ik wel enkele pauzes genomen. Naarmate de wedstrijd vorderde begon ik er steeds meer interesse in te tonen. Het is ook ongelooflijk wat die allemaal kunnen, jammer genoeg heb ik zelf niet de gave om een muziek instrument te bespelen. Samuel is echt een terechte winnaar, de anderen deden het ook heel goed maar hij had nog net dat tikkeltje meer. Zijn aanwezigheid vulde de zaal, maar dan op een manier dat je er enkel maar bij wilt gaan zitten en luisteren. Ik ga niet zeggen dat ik nu meer klassieke muziek ga luisteren maar ik ga het niet vermijden zoals ik ervoor deed. Het heeft me aangenaam verrast en was helemaal anders dan ik me had voorgesteld.

Erin and I arrived to Venice on Saturday morning to check out the hostel and get ourselves situated. Before Carly got there, Erin and I walked all around and for sure got lost..Venice is impossible not to get lost in. We found a wonderful little bakery that we had to ask the woman for a blank receipt so we had the address we could use to find it again tomorrow! We also stumbled upon a huge beautiful church (couldn't tell you the name) that we enjoyed walking through. After we stopped to have lunch at a little pizzeria, we took the train back to the mainland to meet Carly at the hostel and check in. We got ourselves dressed for dinner and headed back! Lorenzo has a house in Venice, so I asked him for a recommendation as to where we should go for dinner, and sorry Lorenzo but we went somewhere else. BUT you led us in the right direction!! Before dinner, the three of us walked all around and found lots of cute areas of Venice that we loved to just walk around and enjoy. We stopped at st. Marks basilica, which is huge and reminded me of the piazza in Milan, because it was surrounded by shopping. Right next to this huge piazza, there were lots of boats and gondolas and people sitting on the docks. Erin's cousin was being married this day, so her mom told us to go to the famous Harry's bar for Bellinis (her favorite drink) on her to celebrate the wedding and make Erin feel better for missing it. This bar is the swankiest coolest bar I have ever seen, and we ordered three Bellinis at the bar and enjoyed the peach drinks and then we left. Simple enough! This was my first Bellini and since I had it at THE Harry's bar..lm not sure I will get one ever again. Our dinner reservation was at 9 pm - far too late for Carly who says in Copenhagen everything closes at 7- so we had to get some aperitivo before dinner! We stopped at this cute place with tons of pasta, pizza, veggie, meat, and cheese options, where we each got arencine and a drink. We really enjoyed this before heading to dinner to enjoy even more food!!! We had picked a seafood oriented place right off a small canal and I had zucchini and shrimp pasta. This is the best seafood I have had so far in Italy, including my seafood in Amalfi! After this we headed back to our hostel (found out we didn't have extra roommates in our room for six!!) and crashed. Sunday morning we made our way to the island eventually, and needed to have ourselves an American breakfast. I had a nice omelette and toast and some orange juice because I was starting to get sick and needed the vitamin C. This day we went to the bakery, got some cookies and other goodies to eat in our gondola ride! We found a boat that took us through the small canals and in very quiet peaceful areas of Venice. This was one of our favorite parts because it showed us areas we wouldn't have been able to find on foot. After doing more walking around and getting lost, it was finally time to get on the train and head back to Florence. This time, Carly was coming with! Yay! We got off the train and I brought Erin and Carly to zàzà for dinner to get a nice first impression if florence for Carly.
