Hi there! This is my very first blog post, and I am so excited to start this journey. 💕 Before we dive into all the stories I will be sharing here, let me tell you a little bit about myself.        My full name is Shinta Ardini, but my friends usually call me Shinta for short (but please, do not call me Dini). I am from Indonesia.

I can not wait to share more stories with you soon! 🌷 P.S.: This is my husband from a drama I have been watching lately. Hands...
