Last night I was talking to Bob, and said I was discouraged about blogging right now — it’s not only writing the blog, but also putting together new outfits, taking pictures, editing pictures, posting outfit, and on top of that there are so many other things you have to do to promote your blog.  I told Bob I felt I lack of a lot of technical knowledge right now, and without technology support, I do everything all by myself (which I never learned before, being a business and English major in college) and have to figure things out by searching “How To” through the search engines.  Oh, and I have to find time for my family, too!

But today I got an email from my darling reader Rose again and she shared her love of my blog.  I really appreciate the happy message I got from you who have been visiting and supporting my blog. Your every little email/comment all give me warm encouragement to keep blogging. Thank you so much!

At the same time, big thanks to all my blog supporters who have been loving my style and working with me in some way, today I have to especially thanks to Daniel Wellington watch company, I really really love my new watch from them. (Enter “hallie”  for a 15% discount when shopping at danielwellington.com until October 14th)

In Chinese: (昨晚上和老公谈心, 和他说, 想慢慢的停断博客..写博真的是一件满辛苦的事情, 不仅仅是外人看起来那么的简单, 好象就是选几套衣服穿了搭配照相, 再放上网上来. 除此之外, 真的还有很多的事情干, 比如回访其他的博客, 比如回复留言, 比如到处搜集当今流行趋势, 更重要的是, 要通过不过的渠道来扩展博客的知名度. 和老公说, 现在已经感觉力不从心了, 发现我已经跟不太上现在博客的很多的相关技术, 身边也没有什么人可以帮的, 很多时候都是我自己上网或看书收集材料再学习. 再加上, 我想把更多的时间花在家庭上.

但是今天收到了亲爱的读者Rose的来信, 向我分享她对我博客的喜爱, 让我重拾了继续写博的信心…真的, 每次收到你们的小小的只言片语, 都是对我写博客的一种温暖的鼓励, 也是我一直坚持写博客的动力吧.

同时, 还要谢谢一直喜欢我的风格并且以不同方式资助我博客的商家们. 今天要特别感谢Daniel Wellington 手表集团, 真的非常非常喜欢他们赠送的这款手表. 如果你也喜欢并且想在他们网站购买该款手表的话, 可以上他们网站danielwellington.com, 输入”hallie” 可以有8.5折的优惠.(优惠截止至10月14日)

I remember the day when Bob shot me wearing this outfit.

He said, “You know, in old times, the jail uniform was black-and-white stripes, and if the criminals tried to escape, they could be recognized easily on the street!”  Bob told me that, and of course, that’s not a good joke at all, and that’s what I told him immediately. But somehow that joke made Read Bear laugh. :(

In Chinese: 我记得那天穿着这身出去, 让老公照相. 他说:”你知道在旧时候, 监狱的狱服都是黑白条杠杠的, 这样就算罪犯逃跑, 也很容易在街上被发现!” 如果你是女孩子的话, 你该明白我当时的心情, 心里不痛快, 直接和他说: “这个笑话一点都不好笑!”. 更不爽的, Red Bear居然听懂了这笑话, 当场笑开. :(
