Been on a 4 day trip to Istanbul with my family and part of the itinerary was the Grand Bazaar, a huge souq that sells anything and everything. There, I was bored to death! It's not that I don't like shopping, I do.. people how know me know I'm a recovered shopaholic. Anyway, while I was bored, I was contemplating and came across two blog-able thoughts.
First, the realization: I hate markets! Yes, that's one thing where I am a spoilt brat. I don't like markets; I always have the impression people are taking advantage of me with the prices and I hate and have no skills at bargaining. I hate the haphazardness of the shops and the shop keepers that chase you to buy "their unique product", which in reality is in every single store or stall in the area. Yes, I am spoilt, but I prefer malls or streets where my favorite brands (of everything) or brands waiting to be my next favorite thing are sorted and organized. You can claim I buy overpriced stuff, but there's a price for my comfort and ease of shopping; that price, I will gladly pay.
Second, the confession! So my mum kept us for like an hour (or more) at the jewelry part of the bazaar looking for a gold bracelet. Us being mum, dad , Yousra and me. Among the four of us, I was the one who couldn't wait to get this over with, even more than my dad. I know, it sounds like I have a hostile attitude towards jewelry, I kinda do to be honest. I simply don't see the beauty in gold and gemstones. the glitter doesn't blur my eyes. Sorry! So, here's my confession, to every guy who got me jewelry, I hated it! I pretended that I was happy because I didn't want to let you down, but in reality, I thought you were just being lazy, instead of spending some time figuring out what I really like, you took the easy way out and thought "every girl loves glitter", which obviously meant you didn't know me at all, so I actually don't feel bad about the pretense.
That said, since we're in a confession mood, to all the guys who got me Swarovsiki crystals, sorry for being mean, these aren't even jewelry. My advice is, for your next romantic attempt, *think* what she would like first before buying, and if you actually decide to go for jewelry, buy real diamonds, not crystals.
