One of the reasons why I love blogging so much is that you get to share a part of yourself with the world and enjoy getting to know other people in the process. I’m a pretty quiet person but I get fired up if I’m talking about something I have a passion for. I guess today, I want to share a couple of things about me that you don’t know…so here it goes:
1. English is not my first language.
2. I’ve only had two boyfriends in my life.
3. I’m a very consistent person and I admire and respect people who are consistent in what they do, what they say and what they believe in.
4. I’m very loyal. Once I decide that I like you, it is FOREVER.
5. One of the biggest mystries for me is when I hear people criticize or made fun of Tom Cruise so hatefully and aggressively. I still don’t get it. When I saw him jumping on Oprah’s couch professing his love for Katie Holmes, I was just feeling so happy looking at him. I thought Wow, that was pretty amazing that he’s not afraid to show his emotions. I didn’t think anything more than that. I was so surprised to see how the American public reacted to the whole situation…it was terrible. They seemed to enjoy attacking for his belief in Scientology (America is a free country the last time I checked and everyone is free to believe whatever religion they want, right? So why attack him?) or his height or his roles in movies…..but I couldn’t understand the whole backlash or hate for someone who is just so excited to find a girl he loves.
Anyways….

Mmh actually about Tom Cruise’s bouncing / wild type-like choreography I think that his reaction mostly used to be perceived as too overplayed, too histrionic to be sincere, BUT there is a lot of gratuitous persiflage around him indeed . . .
ps: Je te souhaite aussi un Excellent Weekend Chère Shin !!!
a presto, Antoine
I adore Billabong Shimmy fringe shorts. I just want them!
Have a beautiful day!

those fringed shorts are really cute <3
i love those shorts of the 3rd outfit! waauw, wantwantwant haha.
awww this is a lovely post hun! i really enjoyed reading it, nice one 🙂
and I getyour point about Tom Cruise…I mean, he’s cool bloke and ppl should just leave him alone. But it looks like ppl needs somebody to hate and criticize all the time, and if that somebody is rich and famous it is even better. Today is him and tomorrow it will be somebody else. I guess it hasn’t something to do with him but with the discontent these persons got with their life… sad, isn’t it?
Hey!
sweet post. i really like those street style looks, and these are great items you picked out
happy weekend
xx
You write really well in English, even though it’s not your first language.
I can so relate to your point nr 2.
Awesome weekend outfit…
Have a great Wkend!
hahaha interesting post!like all those photos you chose,btw!xx
i love, love LOVE your weekend outfit!! i can only imagine how much fun those fringe shorts would be to wear!! made even more fun by the primary colors in your top and accessories!! thanks for sharing some bits of your life with us, i rant passionately as well… it is crazy how negative and quick to criticize our culture is these days, and how easy it is to become caught up in the same way of living! my new co-workers jump all over each other about nothing and it is driving me nuts cuz I try to be a very positive and encouraging person (yes, there’s some of us still around haha) have a great weekend <3shelby

We have a lot in common dear friend ^^
I ‘ve only two Boyfriends in my life and they are two schmucks too !^^
Do we are bound to go out with schmucks before going out with a gentleman ? I don’t really know but I hope to go out with someone who respects me and protects me and loves me.
3 -It’s very important to know what you want to be in life .Time never waits for any one.
4- I’m a sociable person . I like to talkwith everyone. But when I like a guy I’m so shy .
5- About Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes , I think it’s a beautiful couple . He does as he pleases !

You’re so sweet! Thank you for the fun facts!!
Oww! It’s a very nice post! 🙂
Love the Salvador necklace. Have a wonderful weekend. Totally agree
with you about the Tom Cruise story. I don’t get it, either.
Oh, what is your first language? Tell me, I’m curious! And I hope you’ll get a photographer boyfriend soon. : D The frings shorts are so cute, love it. Have a great weekend dear! xxx
Summer heat has come, and your weekend outfit is perfect!
I was going to post a list of random facts one day! 🙂 I guess English is technically not my first language either!
Fringe shorts + Apple crisp = YUM

I agree with you I didn’t understand the mean reaction to Tom Cruise. You are so right we live in a free country and have the right to believe the way we want to. That is what makes America so great! I wrote a post a few days ago on some fashion challenges and I would so love to get your opinion!
Love all those outfits you’ve post, like always!! Is nice to get to know you a bit more 🙂

Hi, Shin. It’s so nice finding out more things about you. I like how you stand for Tom Cruise. I like him as an actor, he is a very good actor. I choose to talk about him from the point of view of his roles, because I know him only from this perspective and I don’t judge someone’s work by how he is seen by the others or by the image the media creates. That’s a loooong way from reality. Of course he can believe in whatever religion he wants to or shout out his love. The Americans may seem open minded, but they are more conservative than they like to admit. xoxo
have a lovely weekend, darling!! <3
ps: I looove the pale pink sweater! Totally what I want right now.
I loved this post! I didn’t know English wasn’t your first language! Your English is perfect! Hope you have a lovely weekend!

My Wardrobe Changeover
Hello there sweetie! Thanks for the lovely comment over my blog and sorry for the late response, my computer has been having problems so it keeps turning off itself!
It would be wonderful if I didn’t have a uniform, but unfortunately I will, I don’t know what but I know I will! I bought so many things for school, clothing pieces I mean and it was really a fail to hear I will not be free to express myself by wearing what I feel! That is me, such a pity I thought!Anyway…
I love your posts so much, they are so creative and I always get inspired by you! Love the things you shared with all of us, and the first point I knew! My first language in Albanian language and I had one boyfriend in my life! At the other points I totally agree with you!
Today I made Cream Caramel in oven, is the best version you can possibly get! A new recipe to my soon opening blog! I made the header and a thank pic at the end of the blog! I couldn’t do the photo-shoot cuz we are all so busy planning things to move to Tirana soon, one week is the max and I will do it when I’ll have time, so I decided that photo-shoot will not stop me from opening the blog! Now the only problem I have is the computer, it keeps turning off and I can’t post anything or even worst open the new blog! Cross fingers for me!
Love the pics and those sunnies at the last one are the same as mine just i have black glass!
Hope you’re having a great day hun!
Lots of kisses and hugs, Kiki
It’s always nice to learn new things about you.. Though I don’t particularly like Tom Cruise as an actor I don’t get why people are so hateful toward him too ..
Great post anyway ^^
PS:I hope you’ll find the shorts you are looking for
You too babe!!! Catching up on ur posts now too, its been crazy busy on my side xx
amazing pics and text! really interesting!
kisses beatiful! 🙂
Great post! I love when bloggers share something about themselves 🙂 I adore that big, pink chunky sweater! It will look fantastic this fall with a great pair of coloured or regular jeans.

Thanks for comming to my blog, would like to see you there again!
I’m gonna follow your blog, like your style!
Lots of love
Hi love!!!!! I too have only had 2 boyfriends in my life – and my husband is actually the only serious relationship that I had ever been in prior to marriage! I love what you said about Tom Cruise, and I just love your encouragement of positivity rather than such negativity. I think it just ridiculous how the media tends to ridicule – and sometimes in the cruelest of ways. Another example is Sarah Palin. Regardless of political ideas, to attack and ridicule her child for having down syndrome is beyond cruel and beyond me. I just don’t understand how it’s ok to take things so far these days, to wear we almost hypothetically “hang” people and their personal lives. Anyway, great thoughts lady! I always know that I can feel positive and inspired by visiting here. I also love the blond girl’s outfit in the middle and I have similar wedges that I love! I love that blue sheer shirt you picked out too!! ♥ Rachel
