And now the questions from Dida:

1. What is your blog about and how do you came across you blog’s name?

My blog is literally just about my life and all the things I come across, there's a little bit of everything in here. The name I took from The Perks of being a Wallflower, I love the book and I am a country bumpkin.

2. What is the crucial thing that you have confronted at your early blogging time?

Just trying to be totally natural, not trying to be someone I'm not.

3. Are you a full time blogger? If not, how do you manage your time for blogging despite of your busy schedule?

I juggle my blogging around a full-time job and general life, but I just constantly think about ideas for posts. If theres a lull at work I have a quick jot down of any idea's I've had.

4. From your blogging experience, have you crossed any haters or destructive commentators? If any, how do you handle them?

Not as of yet, I'm not sure how I would handle any hate.

5. How do you keep yourself to stay motivated to blog?

I just try not to pressure myself to post, I don't have a schedule to keep to so I just write when I have something to write about.

6. What is your best advice as a blogger to another blogger?

Just don't pressure yourself, once you stress about it it becomes less enjoyable. Also write what you would like to read, don't just write something because you think everyone else will like it - be yourself!!

7. From someone else perspective, how will you describe you?

It depends who really, work colleagues think I'm mature and quiet but friends would probably say the opposite.

8. What do you love about yourself most?

I love the colour of my eyes.

9. What is you guilty pleasure?

Christmas - I tell everyone I know I hate Christmas when infact I still get a little bit excited when it comes around.

10. I love to make new friends. Do you want to be one of my precious?

Of course!

11. Why are you so amazing?!

Haha! - I don't know, I guess I was just born that way
