MY ACCOUNT HAVE GROWN!
You are 1346!
Thank you for staying & coming, my dear friends.
This blog features styling tips & tricks, smart wardrobe ideas, places to shop in Toronto and I share my personality along the way, too.
A couple of weeks ago, I gave you 5 facts about me: true & false ones ( ). Some of you had really good guesses.
Let’s go back to them!
1. More than clothes, I love food and world cuisines. TRUE.
⭐️ I used to work in 5* hotels and I was exposed to so many cuisines & even a celebrity chef, that I’ve become a connoisseur of world cuisines, a gourmet.
2. I speak 6 languages: English, Russian, German, Arabic, French, and Portuguese. FALSE.
⭐️ I am bilingual (Russian-English). But I also speak some German, French, and Arabic; no Portuguese. My professional background is Applied Linguistics, teaching English as a Second Language. Absolutely love languages!
3. In 2018, I was considering writing a doctorate dissertation on Teaching lower-level listening skills to ESL learners. TRUE.
⭐️ In 2018, I took a Master’s Degree program at York U, and was really thinking in staying in the academia. Pandemic changed my plans, though. My entrepreneurial spirit has won 😁.
4. I am good at sailing ⛵️. FALSE. ⭐️ In fact, I almost sank as I was steering a sail boat on my own. I had a dream to learn how to sail. I started taking classes. The day when I was supposed to sail independently was so scary to me. I was shaking as I was doing so. Had no clue what to do with the boat in the middle of Ontario lake. I managed to bring the boat back to the shore somehow. No more sailing since then. Only paddling.
5. I love sleeping in the bathroom. FALSE!
It happened to me once though. I had to sleep in the bathroom as my bathroom lock got broken & I could not get out of it at night. Luckily, I had my phone with me. In the morning, I texted my neighbor & she got me out of there. After that, I changed my bathroom locks everywhere & but keep on carrying my phone with me; just in case 😀.
What fact was the most amusing?
