6 Things Most People Don't Know About Me
This may come in late but I have a very good excuse. I swore not to blog in my Holidays and that’s what I did. You may check all my blogs to see that there isn’t a single post from 18th December to 7th January. Now, I don’t normally reply to tags but before you judge me of being a snob, please let me explain. I get tags every now and then but for me, most of them just seem pointless. Tags and memes make our blogs look the same. They make us talk about the same thing, they make us pass the same awards and so on that for me that is just so lame. But when Kate of Live of of the Box tagged me, I promised myself that it would be one of the first things I’d write about after my Holiday hibernation from the blogospheres because her tag is different, it didn’t ask me to pass an award or something like that instead, it made me think hard…i’d even say, it made me search my soul…about these six things that most people don’t know about me.
I hate having to stand up in between sleeps (who doesn’t?!?) to pee or because I am hungry or simply because I cannot sleep. So for me “jetlag” equals to “hell”. It is just so bad that I have to go through it like twice in every three months.
I hate the taste and smell of almost all kinds of alcohol. I can take a gulp of beer, a few sips of wine, and I actually like the smell of malt wine and ice wine. I also like liquors because most of them are to fruity and too sweet to taste the alcohol in them. I also do drink cocktails but they must be also heavily flavored otherwise I just wouldn’t drink them.
I warm up to people easily but I lose interest in them just as fast the moment they said or did something that directly or indirectly offences or hurts me. I know how unfair I could be… you don’t have to tell me.
I see shopping as a very stressful activity. I don’t do it just for the heck of doing it. I do shop when I think I need something but it is not like shopping is some sort of therapy that brings me relief. Not all girls are alike when it comes to shopping… I am a living proof.
I used to join beauty pageants. (iwwwww!!!! how rural!) With the height of 164cm, I am considered tall in the country where the average male height is 164cm and female, 155cm. it didn’t matter that I am not that beautiful… my height and some make up were enough. People said that it also helped that I am thin. (Yeah right!) I was too thin and curveless that I had to wear inch think pads to create an illusion of full breasts on my flat chest. Oh, the pain I had endured! Imagine your boobies pulled to each other and taped together to create a cleavage!?! Yeah… I know. I still have nightmares about it. Now that I think of this whole beauty pageant thing, I wish I hadn’t joined any of it just for the very simple reason that it is so not me and those series of beauty pageants didn’t really contribute to anything I am today.
I can write in cursive backwards so that you need a mirror to read it. I don’t use this kind of writing often, only when I am super bored. I started practicing when I was in my teens because I thought it is kind of cool but later realized that it is such a useless skill.
So those are six things about me that only a few people I know know. Now, allow me to pass this tag to these lucky bloggers….
1. Ruthi of Carpenter’s Wife Toolbox because you know you’d be the first one I’d tag and that is simply because “close tau eh.”
2. Angel of Pages after Pages because we’re thirsty for your post. It’s been a looooong time…..
3. Evelyn of Sterndal because you’re such an easy-to-like blogger.
4. Abby of the Journal Logger because I honestly would like to know more about you.
5. Francine of La Place de Cherie because I really appreciate it that you pop every now and then to my blogs.
6. Liza of Moms…Check Nyo.. because I do read your blogs even if you probably never heard of me. 
And of course, here are the rules of the meme and I just copied these from Kate’s who copied it from Sal’s (Kate and Sal, hope you don’t mind).
1. LINK TO THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU
2. POST THE RULES ON YOUR BLOG
3. WRITE SIX RANDOM THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF
4. TAG SIX PEOPLE AT THE END OF YOUR POST AND LINK TO THEM
5. LET EACH PERSON KNOW THEY ARE TAGGED AND LEAVE A COMMENT ON THEIR BLOG
6. LET THE TAGGER KNOW WHEN YOUR ENTRY IS UP
Goodluck!

Honesty—I think each of us encountered this word many times in our lives and that is because it is very important in everything we do and in any relationship we engage ourselves in. Lying, keeping secrets and hiding the truth to get what you want or to avoid something are easy to do and I am sure that we’ve all been there before. I, personally, learned my lesson but not after losing some persons I value and even if I deeply regretted what I did, I was not able to turn back things the way they were. So when I met my husband and fell in love with him, I told myself to stay transparent specially about things that are important.

I do believe in marriage. I do believe in love. I do believe in “staying together for the rest of our lives”. Once might call me fool, naïve, of somebody who is hopelessly out of touch with reality but imagine this world without people like me. Imagine a world filled with people who are realistic, practical, and well people who don’t believe in love and romance. People who say “I don’t like what I do but I am still here because the money is good” or “I don’t have the slightest feeling for you for ok, I’ll marry you because you are rich” value convenience over passion and if all people were like that, this world would be a really sad place.
