1. My second name is Rose (yep, the flower)
2. With that comes my favourite flower: You guessed it - rose (particularly red and white but never mixed with one another)

4. I adore writing, even just jotting down some random notes - I always keep a pen and a notepad on me

6. I used to be a ‘pink’ girl, which basically means that from age of 12 till the age of 14 I wore something pink on daily basis
7. Currently my closet is made up of black and white with some ox-blood pieces
8. My nails are always painted - as we look at our hands several thousand times a day I believe that a mood-boosting colour on my finger tips may boost my mood unconsciously
9. I am the queen of irony and sarcasm to the extend of my own parents assuming I am being ironic when I actually try to be polite
10. I ALWAYS speak my mind, ever since I could remember I was honest with other people and as straightforward as I only could

12. There are only two places where I feel free: the middle of the ocean and the middle of a meadow

14. I have serious commitment and trust issues
15. I am vegetarian slowly trying to become vegan
16. I am the 'Apple kind'a gal’ - no way I am ever going back to life without those godsent products hahahah but seriously though
17. For 15 years I wanted to become a vet and the only reason I gave up on it was because I was traumatized by my biology teacher and had to actually put my health in the first place
18. I suffer from anxiety, depression and PTSD which are hard to admit but it is what it is
19. When people ask me what would I change in my life if I could go back in time I always respond the same way: not a single thing - whatever I had gone through and whatever I had done, it's only because of those things I am the person I am today
20. For over 12 years I used to travel the world on board of the container vessel every summer with my parents

23. I hate milk… here I said it
24. I cannot stand being dependant on other people, in any form or matter
25. I have this weird bond with animals that I meet, the same as my Dad, I just connect with them with a great ease

31. I don’t take selfies, the only exception is snapchat, but I do not ever save them - I used to but I literally stoped one day
32. I DESPISE TALKING ON THE PHONE, it causes me anxiety and the fact I don’t see the other person’s face irritates me - there are 5 exceptions (I mean people who I can speak on the phone with lol)
33. I always have a bottle of water with me, becasue of that I drink over 3 litres of water daily

37. I used to be obsessed with watermelon when I was a kid, I had a lucky-watermelon-drawing which I have actually drawn on desk during every final exam I have ever taken
38. I can crack my jaw in a way which makes an echo in my own skull - gross I know heh
39. As I do not talk about my emotions too often (meaning hardly ever) there are 3 things which indicate I trust somebody, one weirder from another: I can leave my phone with them, I do not freak out when they hold or borrow it to make a call; I have no issue with having my hair tied up around them (I do not particularly enjoy having hair tied up but sometimes life calls for it); I do not have to have my eyebrows on fleek (sorry, I had to!)
40. I have kept every single birthday or Christmas card I have ever been given or sent

47. My life is continuously accompanied by music, if You do not hear something playing in my room You can bet I’m singing something to myself
48. In case You wondered - no, I can’t sing
49. My lucky number is 9 (apparently that’s also my name’s number, whatever the heck that means), on the other hand I despise number 7
50. Oh and one more thing - I LOVE PANDAS ;)
xoxo, Ala
